Acts 1:8

Jesus has a job for me to do and no one else can take my place. :) Will I answer this call despite my past, my past hurts, doubts, regrets and denials? Yes. . Because God forgives, and He gives second chances to people. . :) He forgives me. . I think it's time that I forgive myself :)

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. (John 1:4)

Whenever there is darkness, Jesus wants me to shine His light of love and salvation. I want my life to show the love of God. . i want his light to come out through me. . I know He has given me the gift of intuition as well. It's not as strong because I am too emotional, but i know he has given and i claimed this gift.

I want to show the love of God to others in any form of means. Thru short comics, artworks, dresses, how i talk, how i respond. . . I want them to see Christ in me. . I want to show them that God can love them and He will never leave them. This is my greatest desire. . :) I want my life to be a shining lamp in the midst of darkness.. :)

Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men. (Col 3:23)

Your job will become not just a career, but a calling. This is the most beautiful thing to achieve. Being a missionary in the marketplace. :) I must depend on God's wisdom, grace and counsel all the time for he knows all things. He called me to work/study and i should give it my best. He has placed me here for a reason and i should not please anyone else but Him. A servant's heart indeed.

The purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from a sincere heart. (I Tim 1:5)

Ever-increasing servanthood. This is the prerequisite of a leader. (1 cor. 4:7)

To be a leader is to be humble. One must take away haughtiness and bragging in his Christian life. When we become leaders, usually we end up being haughty to gain respect from people. It is clearly stated here that this is not what a Christian leader is made up of. . . Bragging as well, for this takes away the Glory of God. One solid christian leader must not brag of his success for this is an act of stealing the Glory of God. . instead of bragging one's success, one must brag of the greatness of Christ in their success. Because indeed, He is everything, He is the Source of all. :)

"..through love serve one another" (Gal. 5:13)

Must live life to serve others indeed. What is fame and power if only I can save and enjoy my own life? Real joy is found in serving others, in helping them, in providing for them. I want to give it my best in my studies, to be able to give support to missionaries; but I am not closing my doors for on the field missions too, coz indeed, God knows what's best.

I must focus on those lives that are unknown, those lives that needs to be shared to inspire others, not focus on the lives of stars or any famous one. It's my job, my art as an artist to show people's lives in a way that would touch people's hearts.

As for now, I shall focus on my craft, once my craft is polished thoroughly, i can focus on the impact it can give the viewers by showing my heart through my arts. :)

Col 1:28

A passions for Christ. This is what i need back, He should be my first thought in the morning, my constant companion throughout the day, and my last thought at night. I need to consider what He wants for my life above my personal desires. This is real passion.

I want this kind of passion. I want this back. I want to be excited everyday with God . i wonder. . i really wonder if i can get this back while I am still in college. This is indeed a great challenge for me. I want to be passionate for Christ. I need my First Love back. . :)

To love the Lord your God with all your heart is the greatest commandment. (Matt. 22:36-37)
