My Divine Devotions: If you seek God, you will find him.

December 19, 2010

1 Chronicles 28:9 Accept the God of your father. Serve him completely and willingly, because the LORD knows what is in everyone's mind. He understands everything you think. If you go to him for help, you will get an answer. But if you turn away from him, he will leave you forever.


Yes, God knows what’s on your mind.
Yes, God understands why things are the way they are in your life.
Yes, God wants you to go to him for help
Yes, God will give you an answer
Yes, God will leave you forever if you decide to turn from him


God is waiting to answer all your questions. The real issue is: Are you willing to come to God and have a relationship with him? Are you willing to serve God with all of your heart, soul and mind? Many go to God during the hard times. It doesn’t have to be that way. God understands your daily struggles and your daily triumphs – and he wants to be part of it all.


If you seek God, you will find him.

The top 10 things I know about God - Psalm 118:14

-
April 30, 2011 Psalm 118:14 The LORD is my strength and my song. He is my savior. On May 2, 2011 I celebrate five years since the Lord changed my life. As I look back, I realize that these have been the most on-purpose and fulfilling years of my existence. I will be recording the journey in a detailed way so that I will always remember the things God has done for my family, but I want to share the following things that I know for sure. 1. I am not the person I was 2. I have unshakable peace through storms 3. God is real; God is personal 4. God wants to know our hearts and he wants to share his heart with us, consequently Bible study and sharing with believers is vital 5. God eases us into the journey with him 6. If we are serious about passionately serving him, God will make radical changes in us – it’s called sanctification and it’s not easy 7. God will clean up the hurts of our lives so we can be effective in representing him 8. Expect conflict, your own sin ...

Reflecting on the Papal election and my childhood

March 16, 2013 My First Communion Day with Tia Lupita  I was born into a deeply devout Catholic family  so it was natural for me to be moved by the selection of a new Pope.  We attended Spanish/Latin Mass at 7 a.m. every Sunday and I went to Catechism class each Wednesday (when I  didn't  play hooky with my best friend...sorry grandmother). J   I also celebrated my First Communion, Confirmation and  Quinceañera   with full blown Mexican-American family celebrations. My mother celebrating my Quinceanera with me. It was a big deal. Along the journey, most of the family left the church except my mom.  We found different congregations to fellowship and worship the Lord.  I dropped church and belief in God altogether for many years. But I returned to the Shepherd’s fold when my child was born, for her sake I say, but God caught my heart and that was a game changer – I fell deeply in love with the Lord. We ...

If not you, then who? 2 Corinthians 4:1

-
Good Friday, April 22, 2011 2 Corinthians 4:1 We don't become discouraged, since God has given us this ministry through his mercy. It doesn’t matter how close you are to God, at some point you may feel discouraged and elect to take a break. Take a short break, pull yourself together and make sure you stay connected to God because you are needed for the purposes for which He made you. That has become quite clear in my journey. Real dependence on God begins when you lay your sins and burdens at the foot of the cross. Once you reveal your true heart to God, he opens doors that you can walk through even while storms are raging in your own world. He knows that you are not perfect, but he knows why you were created and where/when he needs you. God works through us to accomplish his purposes. If we decide to shut the doors to the needs of others while we get it together, we all lose. Today I am ministering and encouraging those around me who need to know that God loves them even w...
