Dear God, "I do"

-

  "I do" is a statement that crowns weddings, representing a pledge and a covenant between God and the couple. Though only two words, it seals a promise that fulfills God's purpose for humanity in marriage.   Today, we reflect on sealing a promise to fulfill God's purpose for our lives—hence the title, 'Dear God, "I do."'      I n the Bible there was a young man named Jeremiah. God's word and plan for his life were revealed to him while he was still young. His initial response to God was not "I do"; instead, he made excuses for why he could not fulfill what God was asking of him. God's reply was reassuring: Jeremiah should not limit himself because of his youth, for God would be with him to help him fulfill the calling on his life.       From this scripture, we can identify seven reasons why we must not underestimate ourselves but instead respond to God's call to fulfill His purpose for our lives. Let's read Jeremiah 1:4-10,...

Life

As a child, I used to think about eternity and the state of never dying to the point of getting gripped with fear. It has always been my desire to find out more about the life ahead after physical death and of course, it is the truth I always looked out for.     I read and listened to many teachings.

[10] For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation." Matthew 7:21, "Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord will inherit the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in...

Poor in spirit.

 It is wonderful to think that a kind of nature deemed as poor is admired by God. We are also told that Jesus became poor so that we may become rich. This poverty spoken about in 2 Corinthians 8:9, signifies the humble nature of Christ as He took on human form and gave His life for us. The riches we obtain are the gift of salvation and God's grace.  In Matthew 5:2, we are told in God's word that those who are poor in spirit shall inherit the kingdom of God. So the question now is, who are the poor in spirit?  The poor in spirit are those who are humble in spirit and live their lives depending on God, and acknowledging God as their Source. These people are characterized by love, patience, peace, the fear of God, and love for God.   Today we are encouraged to seek to be poor in spirit because this is the kind of nature admired by God.
