Sharing the Gift

God's Creation and Word

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."
-- John 1: 1-5

The Glory of God

How amazing are the things we see in our world? Sometimes we spend too much time working, worrying about our problems or just staying busy that we fail to stop and look at the incredible world in which we live. The framework for our incredible world was set in motion a very long time ago, but the beauty and incredible architecture are still bearing fruit to us today.

Weekly Reflections - August 2009

Two sparrows cost only a penny, but not even one of them can die without your Father's knowing it. God even knows how many hairs are on your head. So don't be afraid. You are worth much more than many sparrows.
Matthew 10:29-31

No Anxiety

From the time we became separated from God, humans learned to live on its own. We've developed the human culture and society by which we followed for thousands of years evolving to where we are today. The man made cyclone and its culture have tenants of perfection with no room for mistakes, and greed to material things and money. We all grew up with this mentality and all have tried to live up to it or should I say, we are all expected to think this way. But on the other hand if you look at the frustration in the world, they all come from not having “things”. Things that supposedly will make our life complete, that’s what we are trained to believe. Majority has the mentality thinking that things would be better if, and I will live my life when. Well, life is here and it is here now. If it's having material possessions and money that are keeping you from living your life in the present moment, then be watchful that you don't get yourself sick from worrying until you're totally burned out, until you can’t even live your life at all. We can only work so hard giving our very best everyday to accomplish any given tasks.

Don’t live life in frustration and stop beating yourselves up. It's very easy to get down on ourselves and those whom we love when things are not going according to our plan because of such mentality we’re accustomed to. Yes, we all need the money and resources to survive in the world we've created, but if we don't approach all of the above with love and God's guidance, life in the world can truly be frustrating and will lead us to nothing but things, emptiness, and houses that are not homes. God promised us that we are worth much more, that if we seek His kingdom that all will be given you aside.

"But seek first the kingdom of God and all will be given you aside."
Matthew 6:33

Life in the world of material richness is not guaranteed. Having God in the center of our lives as our true foundation gives us life that recognizes true love of others, appreciation of all graces God has given us, our family and loved ones, the job He blessed us with, and even our health that we’ve taken for granted, the food that we’re able to put on the table everyday and the roof above our heads. We’ve taken all these for granted and all are God’s grace to all of us. We are truly in possession of the life that God promised us when we are appreciative of the little things in life.

General Message from Artist

I felt that God spoke to me in my heart. He says, “My creation is no less than perfect if everyone will learn how to see and appreciate it, your guide is in the book of life.” I must be obedient to this message. Ever since, I’ve been moved to truly see and appreciate His wonderful creation and words which truly give me peace. It’s not like I didn’t know how to compose properly when I shoot pictures nor didn’t know how to organize and gather the proper elements when creating an image. I just have a true conviction and the passion using my God given gift to capture the beauty of His love and creation in our natural environment.

We all are given a special gift, planted in each of us when He created us. Each are special and was meant to be used for His glory and to build His kingdom. Analyze your strength and find that special gift within you. Develop it and use it for the glory of God and you will be rewarded.

Appreciate the sunshine, all that surrounds you, the beautiful environment that God has given us which meant to give us comfort if we learn to appreciate it. All material possessions can all be gone tomorrow but the trees, the sunshine, and the free air we breathe, our loved one, all came from God will always be with us. Focus on loving God and family and do your very BEST with the given talent and undertaking His given you and He will do the rest!
