Dian Tinio

Thank you because you made me realize just how different your face comes across when I’m suffering and not rejoicing. 

You don’t have to act like you’re perfect, that your life is perfect, that Christianity is easy and you have it under control.

You may be troubled — in every waking moment of your life. I bet it sucks. I bet you want it all to go away. I want that too.

Practically everything is a choice, your choice.

Promise me you won’t listen to them, to its lies, but rather burn it, kill it, defeat it. 

We’re here to try harder in telling them that they are not alone in this battle, in reminding them that we’ve been there, that they will overcome as well.

He knows our hearts, our desires and our wishes all according to His glory and riches. He honors our prayers. He honors our desires and He will fulfill it in all His glory.

I wish I’d empower her more, in whatever circumstances she’s in.

Maybe we need to remember that genuine satisfaction can only be found in knowing that we are living our lives in full value—valuable in purpose set before us, our purpose in Christ.

Our heart matters the most to Him.

Maybe I need to learn to give it all to You, God.

Every day, I make myself believe this is the day, maybe today I could save a little, enough for my responsibilities and myself – maybe save for a trip or a business I’ve always longed for. But nothing’s happening.
