“If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.”

Romans 8:11 (ESV)

Bakit ang tagal ni Lord?

Sometimes we feel like God's intervention is slower than life's severe challenges.

When Mary and Martha expected Jesus to come and heal their brother Lazarus, Jesus did not respond immediately. He allowed that tough situation to unfold, one that almost seemed impossible to find hope in.

This story reveals that God may delay His response, but He is never incapable of helping and saving you from life's toughest challenges. Just like when they thought that it is too late for lazarus to be healed, Jesus raised him from the dead.

Maybe God is allowing you to experience extreme situations to show you something that you haven't seen yet, something that will make your faith deeper and bigger for His glory.

In fact, authentic FAITH comes from clearly realizing the beauty of His grace.

John 11:14-15 (ERV)

Kaya tinapat sila ni Hesus, “Patay na si Lazaro. Ngunit nagpapasalamat ako na wala ako roon, upang magkaroon kayo ng pagkakataon na lalo pang sumampalataya sa akin. Tayo na, puntahan natin siya.”

Don't let depression win!

Why, my soul, are you downcast?Why so disturbed within me?Put your hope in God,for I will yet praise him,my Savior and my God.
--Psalm 42:5

This life is indeed tough, constantly tempting you to give up by showing your limitations and weaknesses. Yet, when you remind yourself to place your hope in Jesus, everything changes. God creates ways beyond your breaking point and gives you the supernatural strength to push through. Ultimately, trusting in Him brings true rest.

Through this sketch I made 6 years ago, I am reminded once again of God's love and the cross that I must to carry in this lifetime with Jesus. 🙌

Oh Jesus, your promises are true. your love is beyond measure.
