What traits of God assure you the most? What promises of His attributes do you hold on to the tightest? Do you find comfort in God's character? According to Joyce Meyer, 1. Justice: God is a God of justice. That word justice is so awesome because it means that He will always make anything that's wrong right. This helps me to not worry when I am mistreated because I know God will bring justice. It's who He is. 2. Goodness: God is good, this fact never changes. And He's good all the time, … [Read more...]
Thank You, God, for Blessing Me by Max Lucado, Illustrated by Frank Endersby, Cymplified!
Thank You, God, for Blessing Me is a children's e-book for children two to six years old. It's about a plump caterpillar called Little Hermie praying to God. He enumerates the blessings he is thankful to God for. This story is to inspire little children to also look around, smile and bow their heads in prayers of thanksgiving. One Christian value I want to instill in my children is thankfulness. I read this with my 5-year-old aloud and asked her to copy Little Hermie and say his prayer of … [Read more...]
Trusting Issues, Cymplified!
Do you know what's humbling? Knowing that someone trusts you completely and absolutely. My son loves to stand on the edge of our bed, call my attention and fall into my outstretched arms. What if I changed my mind and decided not to catch him? He doesn't think of that. A child-like trust is wonderful, and God likes that from us. Do you know what I realized the other day? When we commute: ride a taxi, a jeepney, the LRT or a tricycle, we are placing our lives in the hands of the drivers and … [Read more...]
Uncovering God’s Word, Cymplified!
My word for this year is shine. One way I want to shine is to read the Bible each day to fuel me to be a better follower of Jesus Christ. How could I shine and reflect Jesus if I don't read and apply God's Word, my guidance, to my life? I am thankful to Pastor @RickWarren for sharing this application I could use to subscribe to devotionals that would encourage me to read the Bible every day. This app is called the YouVersion. It has a myriad of Bible translations and languages. It allows me to … [Read more...]
Dealing With Frustration, Cymplified!
I am no stranger to frustration. I am learning to deal with frustration every day. Looking at my supposedly working desk and seeing the clutter frustrates me. Not being able to bring my children to run and play in parks frustrates me. Dreams unfulfilled frustrate me. How do you deal with frustration? “Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning do to do afterward.” ― Kurt Vonnegut “Am I ever angry or frustrated? I … [Read more...]
Kindness, Cymplified!
I am sure that many people are familiar with and have exhibited this fruit of the Spirit, especially during the recently concluded Christmas holiday. It feels great to know that the people I follow on Twitter are spreading the kindness, especially during calamities when families were losing their homes. To show kindness is to display one of the qualities of a follower of Christ. According to Romans 12 (ESV), these are the marks of the true Christian: Verses: 9 "Let love be genuine." 10 … [Read more...]
Overcoming Temptation, Cymplified!
I am faced with temptation every single day. I am tempted to eat more than my tummy could contain, to eat more sweets after meals. I am tempted to lose my patience with my children, to speak to them with a harsh voice. I am tempted to let the day take over my attitude and goals, to not make time to read the Bible. See, temptations are very common in life. And sometimes, we see them as being so simple that we think that we can conquer them all by ourselves. If these temptations are already a part … [Read more...]
