Embracing God's Grace Each Day

Pause. Breathe. Continue.

Start your day with thoughts on how to make yourself feel good, grounded in the knowledge of God's love and grace. See to it that no matter how bad—or even worse—this day may be, you keep your center in Christ and treat yourself with the kindness God bestows upon you.

"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7).

Perhaps some things may not turn out the way you have been wanting, or some of your questions may still be unanswered today. Maybe life won't seem to be on your side, but please, never punish yourself for those things. Remember, "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18). Life may be unfair to everyone, but be fair to yourself, as God is fair and loving to you.

Even if this day turns out to be challenging, assure yourself that you will remain its greatest friend and most trusted companion. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28). Don't take yourself for granted—you may have friends and loved ones to lean on when things get tough, but at the end of the day, it is yourself, strengthened by God's love, that will always have your back.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9).

Sebastopol SSS: Learning for Life

Reflecting on my college years at Sebastopol SSS, where our motto was "Learn for Life," I can’t help but smile at the memories that flood my mind. Those formative years were filled with laughter, learning, and friendships that shaped my life in ways I am still discovering today. Education That Extended Beyond the Classroom At Sebastopol, education was a vibrant tapestry woven with the threads of knowledge and life lessons. I can still picture Miss Sheilani, our spirited French teacher, who not only taught us the intricacies of the language but also introduced us to the magical world of Harry Potter. I remember how she organized a movie day where we all gathered to watch the first film. The excitement was palpable, and to this day, I still find joy in revisiting the saga that first captivated us through her enthusiasm. Respecting Life and Each Other Miss Jaya, our biology teacher, was another guiding light. Her lessons were rich with insights about life and the importance of r...

The Power of Positive Speech: Blessings and Goodness

In our journey of faith, the power of our words cannot be underestimated. Scripture repeatedly emphasizes the profound impact of our speech on our lives and the lives of those around us. When we choose to speak positively, truthfully, and refrain from negative speech, we position ourselves to receive God's blessings and goodness abundantly. Speaking Positive Things The Book of Proverbs, a treasure trove of wisdom, provides numerous insights into the significance of our words: - Proverbs 12:18 affirms, "There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." Our words have the power to heal or harm, to build up or tear down.  - Proverbs 15:4 states, "A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit." Speaking gently and positively can bring life and renewal to situations and relationships. - Ephesians 4:29 instructs, "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good ...

The Paradox of Progress

We earn more than our fathers ever did but we don't live richer lives. We are more educated than our fathers but we don't make wiser life choices. We travel faster and further than our fathers ever did but we know less about life. We have more technological devices than our fathers had but we don't stay more connected to our family and close ones. We have a thousand more friends and contacts than our fathers had but we don't feel more loved than they did. We have more facilities than our fathers had but we are not happier than they were. We are better off than our fathers in all aspects of life, but we are not doing better than they did. We have access to more information than our fathers could ever dream of, but we struggle to find the truth. We work more efficiently than our fathers did, yet we feel more overwhelmed by our responsibilities. We have more entertainment options than our fathers ever had, but we find it harder to enjoy simple pleasures. We live in more ad...
