As Christians we don't aim to just be in SURVIVAL MODE as we live our life here on earth. As stated in Psalm 1:3... He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters, that bring forth his fruit in his season, his leaf shall also not wither; and what ever he does shall prosper. Simply put, we must THRIVE.

And when we thrive this means we make steady progress, we prosper, or (my fave among the bunch) we grow VIGOROUSLY. (sayang di physically, hehehe).

Just as trees need water to fruit in season and for its leave not to wither...... as Christians, our water is the AMPALAYA of God. Lets devour it so that we bear our fruits :-)

"A saint is not to take the initiative toward self-realization, but toward knowing Jesus Christ." Oswald Chambers My Utmost for His Highest July 11

God continually finds a way for us to get to know Him. We must delight ourselves into knowing God so we can claim his promises for us. God reminded me once again that He never fails in his promises. I went on a trip last Saturday and not all things turned out the way I wanted them to be but because I started out with the right relationship with God and constantly put things in his hands, although I was hurtful and on the verge of being bitter, He never allowed for that to happen. With a bruised ego, I was able to go through it the way God would've wanted me to. Even if it's not what I had in mind, what He has for me is always always far better. No regrets. I like things His way.
