Acts 13: 47, NIV
For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “I have made you a light for the gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’” Acts 13: 47, NIV Jesus didn’t just give the Israelites a chance to experience eternity, but the light was also made for the Gentiles. He didn’t just desire for His promised people to be saved, but He also wanted the message to be preached to the ends of the earth. This is the reason why you are reading this right now. Jesus also wants to save you. He sent His apostles, particularly Paul, to the Gentiles so that they would also…

The Best Gift that you can Receive
There’s this gift that God wants us to receive. It looks simple and ordinary, but in reality, it is so expensive. It’s something that the world can never give. It’s something that comes from heaven. This gift will take you to eternity. But the sad truth is not everyone is willing to receive this precious gift. Some would hesitate. Maybe because they are scared that it might fail them in the end. Maybe they just don’t have the faith to receive it, just like how a kid would welcome a new friend. This gift is so valuable. It was bought at a price that we could never repay. He is…

Sometimes, the Best way to Love Someone is to let them go
You can never control the people around you. There will be moments when you need to make painful decisions that will somehow make you realize what it truly means to love.
