Elijah found God in the sound of sheer silence.

The fear will never go away. Why? Because each time I want to grow, it will involve going into a new territory, taking on new challenges. And each time I do that, I will experience fear again.... But I also know that I want my life to come as close as I can to realizing the goodness God intended for it... I want to minimize the gap between what shall be and what might have been as much as I can. I know that as long as I'm living, it's not too late--because I have this day. I know I want to ask God for commands, not guarantees, because when God commands, HE ENABLES. ✊🙏🌊 --- 📚2018-001▪If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat | John Ortberg #bookstagram

Become a man or a woman of prayer. Let your devotional life be the beacon that guides you through the terrain you will face. Let your heart and mind be kept close to the principal calling of your life, which is to hunger and thirst after God and His righteousness. Make your day one in which God gets your best so that others share in the rewards of your devotion. Let the thoughts and intents of your heart be shaped and guided by time spent in His presence... Being in God's presence affects all other relationships for the better. To have first seen her husband in prayer surely remained a cherished moment for Rebekah. --- Ravi Zacharias 💕👫💑💕 #bookstagram #ravizacharias #prayer #Godwrittenlove

There's just something about this painting.. 🖌

'The courage we need to finish our mission is not something that we can simply arouse in ourselves. Hebrews talks of those who "were made strong out of weakness" (Heb. 11:34). The implication is not that they made themselves strong, just that they made themselves available. As a result, they were made mighty. God is able to do more than we can imagine.' --- Michael Ramsden •••••• ☆ •••••• Really had a meaningful time reading and discussing this book with my discipleship group ❤ Written by 7 contributors, the book answers questions about why you're here, what's the mission you're called to finish, who is the One who chose and sent you for this mission, and how by His grace, you can find the courage to say "yes" to this calling. A MUST-READ. #FinishTheMission #Bookstagram #TheGospelOfGrace

You matter to God. He made, and he knows what will fulfill you. He knows what vocation is best suited to your talents and abilities. He knows if you should marry or remain single, and if you marry, he knows which marriage partner is best suited to you. He knows what church you can flourish in. And this is what He says to you: "I want to guide your life. I know the path that will glorify me and be productive for you, and I want to put you on it. I'll do that primarily through leadings, so quiet your life and listen to me." -- Bill Hybels, Too Busy Not To Pray 🙏📚 #Prayer #SlowDownWithGod #Bookstagram

"You have to learn to look at the whole of something, not just the parts." -- Marie Lu, Warcross 📚 •••••••• I'm sad to give this book a 3/5 rating because Marie Lu is one of my favorite YA authors. My top fave actually, since her "Legend" Trilogy. Will enumerate reasons for the rating when I get the chance to write long book reviews again 😅 But the story ended with a dilemma regarding morality and free will, so it gave me something to think and study about ☺ Gamers though might find this book enjoyable 🖒 #Bookstagram #CreativeInputs #QuickReview

Because "impulsive acts die impulsive deaths," sabi ni Tito Ravi 😊 #TheySayItsSinglesDay #RaviZacharias

Just an encouragement to keep singing and praising Him! God moves. God works. And the amazing thing is that He gives us the privilege to take part in His great plans and purposes 😊🙏 Current Read: Finish The Mission 📚 #JoyInTheLordIsContagious

"You had to change to survive." --- Emma Donoghue, Room 📚📚📚📚📚 I used to finish at least 1 fiction novel a week (so I can feed my creativity and calm my nerves in the process), but this one took me 2 long months 😁 nothing wrong with the story--it's actually about how fierce a mother's love could be--it's just that the past days did not allow me enough time for extra readings 🤓 So ROOM faithfully joined me on every trip, activity, and lunch break for 60+days! Planning to see the movie adaptation now that I'm done reading! ❤ #RoomAroundTheWorld #ReadOutdoors #Bookstagram

"How can I describe Peter's face, the pieces of him that stick to my heart? Peter sometimes looked aloof and distant; sometimes his face was open and soft as a bruise. Sometimes he looked completely at Tiger Lily, as if she were the point on which all the universe revolved, as if she were the biggest mystery of life, or as if she were a flame and he couldn't not look even though he was scared. And sometimes it would all disappear into carelessness, confidence, amusement, as if he didn't need anyone or anything on this earth to feel happy and alive." 📚📚📚📚📚 #CurrentlyReading #BedtimeStory #PeterPanRetelling #NeverTooOldForFaerieTales❤☄

"It is possible to run completely out of love and then refill the tank. It is possible to love people not only sacrificially but also steadfastly. This is what God calls us to do -- not to run the hundred-yard dash in loving people but to run the marathon. In order to do that, we have to learn how to refuel ourselves when we run out of love." --- Bill Hybels, Who You Are When No One's Looking ❤ 📚 This book became my company for the past 10days of my social media break. In all those days of just wanting to hear more of Him, I was led back to the core of everything: "As Jesus clearly taught, the highest priority in the life of every believer should be to love God with all our hearts, souls and minds (Mt.22:37-40). Our second-highest priority should be to love people, all of whom matter to God, in a radical, nonretaliationary, second-mile way." 🌟🌟 While it will never be easy to love radically, I find peace in knowing that I can always bank on His love and grace to fill me everytime I'm running on empty. ❤ #ItAllComesBackToLove #Bookstagram

Faith. Hope. Love. (1 Corinthians 13:13) I think we've used these words in our daily conversations too often that we've lost their true meaning. Faith is more than trust. Hope is more than wishful thinking. And, Love is more than a feeling. So if I have one prayer today, it would be this: To become more faithful, hopeful, and loving than I'm used to. That I would put the true meaning of these words to heart, and do my best to live them out. 🙏❤ #TrafficThoughts #IGStorySanaPeroMayPagkaDeep #FaithHopeLove #ItsToughButItsWorthIt #ThankyouAutoInFrontOfMeForTheReflection 🙂
