My Journal |

When I started to become a Christian, i have always believed that for a person to become an effective worker for the Lord, you need to experience problems so big that you almost can’t bear it. In my case, I have not experienced  such big problems like others have. So, in the beginning of my service to God, I did worked in the Ministry just to please other people specifically my husband, because he is active in his Ministries. I just go along with the flow, and do whatever they would ask me to do.I would always say to myself, “You are not worthy to belong in the family of God”. And so everytime, i tell that to myself, i would stop and find it unnecessary for me to become a servant of God. But everytime I fall, God picks me up and wakes me and makes me feel that He loves me so much that He doesn’t want to let me go. I would meet some people that seem to have a not so very nice attitude and get stumbled with their wrong doings. I always tell that to my husband. But everytime i tell him he just say that I should always fix my eyes on Jesus. And then one day, a friend of mine who is also a Christian sent me a link from the Apostolic Faith Church. I subscribed for their Daily Devotional. I would always read from it as i receive daily emails from them. It really helped a lot in the improvement of my spiritual growth. My relationship with my husband and kids became much better. Now, I know I am important in the eyes of God and We are all important to Him. We just  have to discover what is the purpose of God in our lives. God doesn’t look at our physical traits or whatever degree we have. God looks into our hearts, the joy of serving and loving Him makes him very happy.

They would always ask me, “Where do you work?”. Then I would answer,i am just a  housewife, mother,nanny and pity myself. But now it’s different. I feel so blessed to become a servant of God. The next time someone would ask me, I would answer, “I work for  God and for the Glory of His Name”.

“If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him my Father will honor.”  – John 12:26
