When God Pursues

"God's version of flowers and chocolates and candlelight dinners comes in the form of sunsets and falling stars, moonlight on lakes and cricket symphonies; warm wind, swaying trees, lush gardens, and fierce devotion". - Captivating (John and Stasi Eldredge)
 That is one my favorite line from my favorite book, Captivating. Nakakakilig di 'ba? It talks about how God pursues, or if we are going to talk about how He would show His love and affection, that would be an example, and that is an understatement. :) But the authors illustrated how God would pursue our hearts through His Creations. Or kung sa isang manliligaw, ganyan Siya manligaw. Captivating is focused on how God pursues a woman's heart. It mainly tells that God had been pursuing us, even men, through the things around us. His presence is everywhere. His voice is always around us. Sabi nga sa isang kanta: "You dance over me while I am unaware. You sing all around. But I never hear the sound". (Amazed by Phillips, Craig & Dean) And in every simple thing that He created, He tells us a message that we ought to notice.

So this post is all about how I enjoyed the day and believed that everything I encountered is an evident of Him pursuing me. :)

Colossians 3: 23

"Anuman ang inyong ginagawa, gawin ninyo nang magaan sa kalooban na waring hindi sa tao kayo naglilingkod kundi sa Panginoon."

Leaving Your Jar Behind - Friday Night Jam

Note: This post is dated August 29, 2014.

Heyo! Friday Night Jam nanaman! :D Friday Night Jam is our youth service that happens every Friday, obviously. :D It's a night full of worship and praises to God and listening to His Word. FNJ is conceptualized para sa mga kabataang and also young at hearts, to know Jesus more. Syempre malapit na weekend, instead of going out sa clubs or having the usual "friday night life" we really encourage the youth to attend FNJ and makipag-jamming together with the Lord. Cool isn't?
