God's will:
“It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God.” - 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 (NIV)

“Love is a commitment, a choice, & a command from God.”
– I read this somewhere. Based on my subjective & objective experiences, I find this to be true…because love is more than a feeling, right?

No matter what
Practically speaking, even if my heart’s deep-as-the-Pacific hopes are never fulfilled, I will serve God. Knowing God is my purpose, & heaven is my goal.
As much as I love him, or desire a family, or a dynamic career, I know for sure my soul will rejoice despite not having any of those & will simply sing on my deathbed: Cause it was worth it all, it was worth it all, it was worth...

Recently I read this in a book: “Have complete faith in God.” The words are so real in my life that any thought that brings up a worry or burden is immediately greeted with them.
It’s weird how things make sense to me now. I’m not apathetic or jaded or feel overexposed toward the things of God anymore.

So you know how God brings our church/fellowship amazing men & women of God..? It has always shocked me how truly merciful & good God is. He encourages & lifts our spirits through His ministers. You will not believe how timely their visits are. It’s truly God’s sovereign plan the way these things happen. If you know me, you know what a ridiculous skeptic/cynic/critic I...

you know why i hate the word wish?
because it gives me a false sense of not needing to have to put any effort into that which is wished for.
i love work. i’m a workaholic, i’ll freely admit.
my relationship with God is work.
relationships with people is work.
school is work.
a job is work.
everything worth anything is work.

The Bible changes my life each time I read it… The presence of God was so strong at Delaware service today, I can still feel it - God is doing something amazing. I’m excited for this season that God is leading me into. It’s different from what I’m used to. I guess I’ve always shied away from growing in the Lord because of my own fears of spiritual responsibility &...
