As I come before God today my goal is not just to read scripture and highlight verses, it's to actually encounter Jesus and be changed by Him. Sometimes my devotions becomes like another task to check. In my failures, I do not desire comfort in His words but revelation of how I can overcome because in my desperation I felt hopeless I have read the Bible everyday and multiple times but it seems my faith is being left in that book, oh How I long to live a life that reflects what I understand in His words.At the end of the day it's not how much I read but how I trusted His words that cause me to surrender my sins so to live a life that brings glory and honor to Him🙏🙏🙏please pray for me...O God teach me true repentance that never goes back to my old sins .🙏🙏🙏

Sometimes I hate myself for allowing myself to go back to what I've thought I overcame, I am learning to ask God what He is showing me this time. I went through the same thing again…and asked God why. Same kind of situation. Same kind of pain. Same kind of disappointment. And for a moment, “Lord… bakit ako nanaman ulit?” I thought I already healed. I thought I already learned. So why does it feel so familiar again? And I questioned everything— Did I not grow? Did I miss something? Am I the problem? Because it’s tiring…to feel like you’re back in the same place again. But as I sat with it, I noticed something different. This time, I didn’t react the same way. I didn’t run as fast. I didn’t lose myself just to hold onto something. I didn’t beg for what I knew wasn’t for me. I still felt the pain but it didn’t control me the way it used to. And slowly, God shifted my perspective. Maybe this isn’t repetition—maybe this is revelation. Maybe He allowed me to face it again, not to hurt me but to show me how much I’ve changed. Because healing doesn’t mean you’ll never go through it again. It means when you do—you respond differently. So maybe the question isn’t “Why am I here again?” But “Who am I now in this situation?” And maybe…this is proof that you’re no longer who you used to be. #rootedreflections

John 4:18-22 God does not call the perfect and most qualified. He calls those who are willing to respond in faith....

James3:9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Taming my tongue , making my heart right with God , out from my heart my mouth speak check my heart: 🤔envy 🤔selfish ambition 👉Reflecting from James 3

In moments when I strayed , God stayed

sometimes they do not see what's inside only God does.....they see my faithfulness but they do not see the battle inside...sometimes it's exhausting....
