We will be faultless, through Christ...


 - Consistency in our faith won't even be our problem, He will keep us. Submission and obedience to His word will make us stable in our faith and that will allow the Lord to keep us firm to the end. 

I always give thanks to my God for you because of the grace he has given you through Christ Jesus. For in union with Christ you have become rich in all things, including all speech and all knowledge. The message about Christ has become so firmly established in you that you have not failed to receive a single blessing, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be faultless on the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is to be trusted, the God who called you to have fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.

He is patiently waiting for our repentance.



But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that Day the heavens will disappear with a shrill noise, the heavenly bodies will burn up and be destroyed, and the earth with everything in it will vanish. Since all these things will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people should you be? Your lives should be holy and dedicated to God, as you wait for the Day of God and do your best to make it come soon—the Day when the heavens will burn up and be destroyed, and the heavenly bodies will be melted by the heat. But we wait for what God has promised: new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will be at home. And so, my friends, as you wait for that Day, do your best to be pure and faultless in God's sight and to be at peace with him. Look on our Lord's patience as the opportunity he is giving you to be saved, just as our dear friend Paul wrote to you, using the wisdom that God gave him. This is what he says in all his letters when he writes on the subject. There are some difficult things in his letters which ignorant and unstable people explain falsely, as they do with other passages of the Scriptures. So they bring on their own destruction. But you, my friends, already know this. Be on your guard, then, so that you will not be led away by the errors of lawless people and fall from your safe position. But continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory, now and forever! Amen.

Obedience is the key to getting blessed.



Happy are those whose lives are faultless, who live according to the law of the Lord. Happy are those who follow his commands, who obey him with all their heart. They never do wrong; they walk in the Lord's ways. Lord, you have given us your laws and told us to obey them faithfully. How I hope that I shall be faithful in keeping your instructions! If I pay attention to all your commands, then I will not be put to shame. As I learn your righteous judgments, I will praise you with a pure heart. I will obey your laws; never abandon me! How can young people keep their lives pure? By obeying your commands. With all my heart I try to serve you; keep me from disobeying your commandments. I keep your law in my heart, so that I will not sin against you. I praise you, O Lord; teach me your ways. I will repeat aloud all the laws you have given. I delight in following your commands more than in having great wealth. I study your instructions; I examine your teachings. I take pleasure in your laws; your commands I will not forget.

In Him hope is real, deliverance happens....


All you that are righteous, shout for joy for what the Lord has done; praise him, all you that obey him. Give thanks to the Lord with harps, sing to him with stringed instruments. Sing a new song to him, play the harp with skill, and shout for joy! The words of the Lord are true, and all his works are dependable. The Lord loves what is righteous and just; his constant love fills the earth. The Lord created the heavens by his command, the sun, moon, and stars by his spoken word. He gathered all the seas into one place; he shut up the ocean depths in storerooms. Worship the Lord, all the earth! Honor him, all peoples of the world! When he spoke, the world was created; at his command everything appeared. The Lord frustrates the purposes of the nations; he keeps them from carrying out their plans. But his plans endure forever; his purposes last eternally. Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; happy are the people he has chosen for his own! The Lord looks down from heaven and sees all of us humans. From where he rules, he looks down on all who live on earth. He forms all their thoughts and knows everything they do. A king does not win because of his powerful army; a soldier does not triumph because of his strength. War horses are useless for victory; their great strength cannot save. The Lord watches over those who obey him, those who trust in his constant love. He saves them from death; he keeps them alive in times of famine. We put our hope in the Lord; he is our protector and our help. We are glad because of him; we trust in his holy name. May your constant love be with us, Lord, as we put our hope in you.

God's plan is infinitely good, that goes beyond our comprehension.



I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.

Jeremiah 29:11

God is faithful...



God allows us to be in these circumstances for growth and strength... for the gold to bring out its shine, has to go through the fire, and the diamond to form needs extreme heat that even rocks would melt,  yet God won't leave us nor forsake us in the midst of these trials.

God is our crucible.


Submit our thoughts to Him,  let His word take seat in our hearts, occupy our mind, so that in our speaking, we utter not just His word, but the message of His salvation, and so that when we act, we manifest the mercy and grace of His will.

Faith effects cure.



The prayer of a righteous is powerful and effective... and how to be righteous in the eyes of the Lord does not require a long pilgrimage walk, but just a kneel of faith, with a submissive heart, believing that He will.

Who do we please?


When we orchestrate our faith to please people, then our good deeds are futile, For our relationship with the Lord is based on sincerity of will and not hypocritical. Genuine faith aims at pleasing God alone and so with it bless other people regardless of their opinions.

Love Bears Unconditionally



 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, 
it does not boast, it is not proud. 

 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, 
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil 
but rejoices with the truth. 

 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

-1 John 13:4-7

Are you discouraged? Don't be.



Psalm 34:17-19 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 40:31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

"How deep is your love?"



The value of love we can sincerely express is worth the life we are willing to give.

What goes around comes around.





"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.

-Matthew 7:12

Nothing Is Too Difficult...


  Where there is God, there is hope... How ever great our circumstances, God is still greater than them, God  will even turn impossibilities into possibilities, if we abide by His will, and believe in His ways.

Our strength is best shown, when we forgive.




“To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.” 
― C.S. Lewis


“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” 
― Mahatma Gandhi

Love even in pain.




Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me. The LORD will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness, O LORD, is everlasting... 

Psalm 138:7-8
