This is my first step forward.

“You of little faith, why are you so afraid? Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.” (Matthew 8:26)

Jesus will make a way for us to build a strong and deep faith.

This verse tells the story of Jesus and His disciples when they are traveling. There was this storm that frightened the disciples. They woke Jesus because He was sleeping and they asked Him to save them from the storm. Jesus calmed the storm and the disciples were astonished by the miracle.

As a new disciple, there were instances that I was on doubt, fear and depression. I doubt that if I give my tithes I won't be able to survive. I fear people might not like me the way I am and because of reveleations in my life and that they would reject me from the friendship we built vack then. I felt self pity most of the time and also emptiness. That feeling when I know there's something missing. I was broken. I was hurt by the sin I committed. But the Lord works His ways. He consistently pulls me back to Him whenever I am lost. He shows me His unconditional love through my spiritual family and even Him whispering a verse to me. All those things or ways that He did was my miracle that calmed my storms. And I thank and praise Him for this.

I know what He wants me to do in all the miracles He have given me. It is to strenghten my faith and believe in Him at all times. I should not doubt Him or myself. I should not fear losing relationships and letting go. I should not feel depression and emptiness. I will focus only on the Lord and in His love.

“For he is the kind of person who is always thinking about the cost. “Eat and drink” he says to you but his heart is not with you.” (Proverbs 23:7)

Do not be deceived for the enemy will come to kill, steal and destroy.

The Lord warns us from anyone who works for or is being used by the enemy. They are giving us what they can offer or giving us what we desire. Yes it will bring you happiness and pleasure but just for a while and it's all temporary. And because they did not care about you (because it's from the enemy) what they offer will serve as traps for you to be destroyed and will lead you to disobey God for sure.

I have experienced a lot of these pursuations this year. Because of the heartache I had and that I was lead to God as my refuge, the enemy worked his way towards me. Couple of times he tempted me. Couple of times he convinced me. The enemy told me that I should do this because if you don't do it you will miss the chance and that I will end up with regrets. And so I did all what the enemy said. Then, I end up broken. I knew that I would be, but still I chose to do what what was offered.

Now I know better. I can never be happy with disobedience. I can never be okay even if I do those things. It will only make me suffer more. It will also make the Lord sad and hurt. For I know that He loved me so much He wouldn't want me to be harmed. And if I did He would also feel the pain I have because of the love He has for me. Isn't it that when you love someone you are happy when your loved one is happy? And if your loved one is sad and hurt you will also feel the same? How else would you feel that you have warned your loved one not to do those things and yet your loved one did it and caused your loved one to be hurt? I am focusing now in this perspective, asking myself during attacks, "What God would feel if I let the enemy deceive me?"

The goal of our lives is to make God smile and this is related to serving the purpose of  pleasing God.

How to make God smile?
1. Love Him - as stated in the book of Matthew, the first and greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart, with all your mind and with all your soul. I try to think of Him as a dear loved one to whom I can spend time with, make efforts to serve Him, and avoid for Him to be sad. I consider Him to be my priority.
2. Trust God completely - There are times that I find it difficult to trust Him completely. And I know He is sad about it but don't you worry dear Lord, I will make ammends and strengthen my faith and trust in You.
3. Immediate obedience - Tithes is my biggest challenge nowadays since I looked into giving my money to the expenses we have at home. But little by little I am giving my tithes, not fully but I will get there in time. Also sin prevents me to obey because of the temptations around me, teasing and convincing me every single day. The holy spirit knows and identifies what is wrong and right. And so the holy spirit also helps me to resist the temptation and focus myself to obeying God.
4. Praise and Thank Him - who doesnt like to be praised and be appreciated? ofcourse we like that but what more God? we are here because of Him, we can breathe because of Him, experience life because of Him and even the smallest thing ever existed is something to be thankful of.
5. Use our abilities - God gave us gifts to use them for good not to use them in sin. I have lots of talents says my friends and family but I'm sometimes shy and ashamed of myself. I lack confidence and fear that I will fail and that my output will not be good enough. But then God still wants me to use them. He really makes a way for me to use them when you least expect it or never thought of.

God wants to feel the presence of his creation as much as we want to feel the presence of our creator. He loves us and expects to be loved as well. We are created out of His love and also because of this love we were saved. Giving it all back to God is a great great challenge but we are excited to do it because by this He will smile and be happy - this is my goal in life.

“You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” (1 Samuel 17:45)

Nothing nor no one can defeat the one who lives by faith in God.

The verse tells us how strong David's faith is. Although he is just little with only a sling shot as his weapon and he was faced by a giant with sword, spear and javelin, he did not fear. He was full of confidence that he can defeat the giant. And the confidence that he has comes from the Lord. It is his faith in believing the power of God.

A lot of things are happening to us each day. Situations that we linger from varies These situations can be financial, emotional, relationships, career, etc. Maybe these situations can occur all at the same time or maybe it can be as small as losing a jewelry that meant something to you or as big as losing your parent or loved one. It can really strike you hard and feel lost and with no hope.

But God reminds us that we should not be defeated by these situations for He would not give us something we could not handle. These are parts of his tests on our faith.

Like David we are challenged with different giants in our lives (like what Mat has said in his previous devotion) but by our faith in the Lord, we can defeat them all no matter what weapon they use to hurt us because we have the armor and weapon that God gave us.

I pray to you Lord God, to praise you and thank you. For whatever giant I, my family and my friends would face, we can defeat them with the weapon and armor You have provided, with the faith we have in You. In Jesus' name, I declare that my faith in You will grow stronger so I can defeat all goliaths that may come to my life. Amen.

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” – Luke 21:33

”Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.” (Proverbs 29:25)

Do not fear! Trust the Lord!

We should not fear man, what they can do to us or what they can do to others, how they react to certain things, their opinions and their desires, their ways, because this will only lead us to a trap that might cause us to fall down, sin and hide what our true potential is. The verse also told us to trust in the Lord and by this we are in His protection. Whatever comes in our way, the Lord will keep us away from harm for He would not want us to get hurt and be trapped in situations that will make us suffer.

I did fear people for the longest time. I was not open to my family and I don't even take a call from my cousins. I also don't speak up my opinions on any situation, may it be in class, in the office or at home. I keep it all to myself. I don't go out much. I'd rather be at home alone in my room. I get too tired to socialize and I just want to avoid people as much as possible. I felt suffocated. I felt I'm not myself when I'm with people in a party. I fear them. I fear the thought that I might be rejected. I fear that they don't like me or that I can't belong to their group. I'm afraid that they would talk bad things about me. And that my personality sucks from their perspective. And so I fake it for some people I don't usually go with or trust. I had a hard time talking to people, especially in a large crowd. I felt itimidated when people are looking at me. I was trapped in a world full of fear. And I had lived to please people. But when I was trying to get out, a person had restricted me again to go back to the trap because I fear that he would hate me and would not love me anymore. My identity was not familiar to me anymore and that I was not confident with who I am. That trap stole away what I can do and what I am capable of doing. I was full of that trap and did not thought of trusting God.

I am glad, because I am now in the process of getting out of the trap because I know that God is with me. He will get me out of there and show me my true self and the design He has for me. God will not let me fall down although I experience rejection from people, they may judge me, they may not want me, but I would care less now because I know God would not do those things to me. And all that matters is what God feels and thinks for me not what people would feel or think for me.

Thanks be to You my Lord! For when most people might reject me and don't like who I am, You are there to accept me, with open arms embracing my whole being. Thank you for pulling me out of the trap and giving me back the confidence I hid for a long time. Thank you for all the capabilities, talents and all the gifts you have given me. And no matter what life brings to me, I will not fear because I know You are always here. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

One of our purpose in life is to give God pleasure. Why? You may ask. Simply it's because God created us for his pleasure.

The reason we want to be pleased, feel happiness and satisfaction is that we are created in His likeness. We feel those because God also feels them. And we are created for this purpose... to please Him.

I was so busy thinking of myself back then. Thinking what I want, what should I wear, what should I buy, what can make me happy. And when I got to have someone to share my life with my thinking changed to what does he want, how can I make him happy, how can I please him, what can I do for him, what can I buy him, will he love me more if I wear clothes like that or will he be happy if I give him something. But when I finally got out of those things I found myself with no identity. I don't know who I was and search for my meaning.

I know God was there and always been there for me but it was this one time I opened up my heart to Him. And little by little I am seeing my purpose and who I am. At first, I find it difficult but because the Lord helps me, everyday seems so light and happy.

And now that one purpose of my life was revealed to me I will do it whole-heartedly more than I did for myself and for my Ex.

Worshipping God is the best way to please Him. When I sing, when I pray, when I use the talents He gave me, when I work, when I cook, serve the church, give my tithes and offering, help people, show love for them especially for my family and friends, I will worship Him and do all these things for His glory.

I will please God more than He pleases me, I declare this in the Lord's name Jesus and through You my Christ I can make God our Father, happy.

“Though he slays me, yet will I hope in him.”
(Job 13:15)

He tests my faith.

As we undergo situations in life, situations that may cause us pain, disappointment, loneliness and a lot of negative attacks Job says to still trust and hope in the Lord.

Ate Nova my cell leader once told us in our group about a story of a man from the Bible. Not sure if it is Job and I forgot his name. That man was borrowed by the devil from God and He allowed it. And so this man was put to the hands of the devil and he attacked him several times to make the man suffer. God allowed it to happen to test the man if He is obedient and if he trusts the love of God.

God does not hurt us. God does not harm us. But he allows the enemy to attack us to test our faith in Him. Even though He allows it, He never leaves us during the attack. It is up to us if we hold on to God or if we give in to the enemy's plot.

Lord God, as I learn how life is here on earth I will continue trusting in your love because I know your love for me is unconditional and eternal. I will always hold on to You even the enemy gives me the worst feelings and situations. Nothing will shake my faith in You. Thank you Lord for showing me Your love through the lives of my family and friends, and through Your unexpected ways. Bless their lives and let them grow more with You as I do. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

“Brothers and sisters, I don’t consider myself to have taken hold of it. but one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.” (Philippians 3:13)

Put the past behind and embrace what is in the future.

As the verse tells, I don't consider myself to have taken hold of it, means that we are not forced or pressured to forget the past and focus on what is ahead. As long as you are doing something about it then it is good enough.

When I was a new christian, I tried to do what the church instructs us to do. Devotions everyday and attend different gatherings such as cell group, Sunday service, trainings, camp, crossovers and encounter. I do it just because I believe that what am I doing is for my benefit and it would make God happy and that I want to do what Jesus is doing. I realized I was exhausted and always tired. I had migraine attacks and felt stressed. I was also very guilty when I sin. I condemn myself over and over again. And I felt heaviness in my heart. Then Pau told me, in one sharing that we have, not to force myself. A person cannot change over night. She told me not to pressure myself and when faced by enemy attacks think what is right to do. Also, Sar, my officemate told me don't do things that the Lord did but first be like Christ and then I will unconsioucly do all things that He did.

What they said to me were revelations I remembered from this verse. I'm no longer forced nor pressured. I can see that soon I can be Christ-like for God designed me to be. In all my ways I will remember to be righteous and holy. Even I am not like that today, I truly believe that I can be, in the future and that is because the Lord will always be by my side and will help me through my journey to go back to Him, to go back to what I really am, in His own likeness.

The reason for living? Is it just to live short and then die? or is there something more to life than living it everyday as we grow old?

The reason we live is only one. And it is for the glory of God. We are all created, things and other creatures for the glory of God.

I live for His glory! And I live to glorify Him. I don't live to glorify myself but only God. I chose to do so because it is my purpose. Somehow, God already does something to me when I glorify Him and it was like magical and unexpected.

Showing Him love is to glorify Him and one way to do it is through worship.  It's as if I'm singing Him love songs to make Him smile and dance. Also glorifying Him by our love for our neighbors. As in Matthew, love God with all you have and love your neighbor as you love yourself.

Sharing his word really is challenging so as to become Christ-like. But if by doing this I am doing my purpose and so this challenge is accepted! Somehow started evangelizing to some of my friends and letting them know that God exists and that they should trust Him.

I should not be afraid to live for Him because it is said in His word that He will give me everything I need, maybe not of this earth but for eternal.

I should know and be reminded everyday and every time that God's glory lives within every creature, man and me. And that my purpose as His creation is to glorify Him.

“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48)

RHEMA: 
God is perfect and all He created.

MESSAGE:
We are God's children. And since God made us in his likeness and that He is perfect, we are made to be perfect.

MOTIVATION AND APPLICATION:
There is a common saying in this world that says 'Nobody is perfect.' But should we believe this?

God created us in His own likeness. And because of that we are to be someone who has the personality of God.

And since God is a perfect God, we are designed to be as He is, perfect! 

This is not an easy task to do.Maybe today, we are just starting to know who is God, how He is as a father and what are His ways and works. And to be perfect requires to be excellent in all your ways and to be at your best in all you do. But there are a lot of things hindering us to be perfect. 1st there is already a mindset that no one is perfect. 2nd Sins delay us on our journey to be Christ-like but we are still given time on earth to mold ourselves as perfect as God wants us to be. 

Lord God, I pray that you will continue to help me go back into perfection as you have designed me to be. But not only me Lord God, also help my family and friends to open their hearts to you and see through that we belong to only You and believe that we are made to be perfect with no flaws, with no factory defect. Lord God mold us more and remove all things that hinders us to go back to you and be perfect, because I believe Oh Lord that every single thing you created is made in perfection. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Many times I had died alive. And every time I do, it seemed so painful and tend to lose hope. I want to hurt myself because I felt like I'm always the one to blame.

Root: SIN

Cause: DESIRES, WEAKNESS, TEMPTATIONS

Analysis: Why do we die? The cause is simple! Committing SIN.

For the wages of SIN is DEATH... Romans 6:23

But why do people SIN? It's because of:

DESIRE: We desire for something. It can be something material, emotional, physical or whatever. Some may want money to buy what they want. Some desires for someone to talk to or be with them. Some desires for flesh.

WEAKNESS: Weakness is something you are not really good at or confident with. Weakness can also be a flaw. Weakness can be that you lack confidence or lack faith. It can also be a point where in you are vulnerable, where you can easily be attacked.

TEMPTATION: Temptation is what you are being offered to when the enemy knows the above causes: your desires and weaknesses. The enemy is very knowledgeable of these things from you and it present you temptations or attacks you in so many different ways unexpectedly.

Let me give you a sample based on my experience. One grocery time, I wanted to go home immediately because I was too tired the whole day coming from an event or something and I was so stressed and exhausted. And all of a sudden my sister asked me to buy her something that will cause delay for me and my Mom to go home. And then my Mom asked me if we can buy a plant from the supermarket. The desire? Me, wanting to go home immediately. The weakness? Me being too tired, exhausted and stressed. And the enemy attacks me using my sister and my mother to formulate my anger. Why me being angry? Because the enemy also knows my weakness or flaw of being hot-headed and gets easily irritated by my sister. The effect was raising my voice towards my Mom. It was so disrespectful of me. And of course my Mom got hurt. And somehow causes death to her. Because that is not the only time I did that, it all piled up one day and we had a fight about me being disrespectful to her. Death was upon me too because of her saying not so good things about me. And it's because of.... TADA... SIN! I don't want to hurt my Mom anymore so every time the enemy tries to attack me, I take a deep breathe, remember how I love my Mom and that I don't want to cause her DEATH anymore. I control my emotions.

Lesson: Don't give in or you will DIE! Hahaha! When you are already in the situation where the enemy attacks, pause and reflect, think of why you are in that situation. Identify your desires and weaknesses and why you are being attacked at that point in time. Control your emotions and don't let the enemy penetrate you.

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. 1 Corinthians 16:13. 

If you are reading this. share your RCA as well through writing a comment on how did the enemy attacked you and what did you do about it moving forward.

Discontent and dissatisfaction are the two feelings we get on earth and that is on purpose because life on earth is not really meant for us. The world is not our true home. We are like visitors in it.

I get too attached on things on earth. But when I already have them I feel I want more.

There is something missing on every situation and my happiness is not at its full. There is emptiness in my heart that longs for something that I can't find from what I have right now. Although there are a lot of things that can be found on earth, so many things that I can experience, buy, take or have, there is still something missing. Is that joy? Is that peace? Is that love? Maybe? But thinking that there is something missing is just because it is supposed to be like that.

Maybe because I'm feeling home sick of some sort because this world is not my home. The evidence of discontent and dissatisfaction that everyone is experiencing is present from then until now. The evidence that the world is not our home is that the earth is somehow deteriorating, wherein the weather is changing, the atmosphere is thinning and the waters are rising, not letting the people live here forever.

By faith, hope, love and obedience in the Lord, we accept that this world is temporal and we do not deserve temporal but we deserve eternal. That is why temporal happiness is just found in this temporal world and what is beyond this world is eternal where there is eternal happiness.

The fact that this is just a temporal place I live in, I know that desiring for material things here are not important. Even those things will fade. Earning so much money will not make me happy or content. Having a house, having a car or having a business is nothing. Letting go of the control I have in my possession is understanding and accepting that my time on earth will stop whenever it should. So I should focus more on what is unseen like the learnings, the relationships, the bonds, the values and my faith in God and his undying love. Because all things I see now and want now will fade away but God's love for me will remain through eternity.

"And he took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones from the stream, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag, and his sling in his hand, and approached the Philistine.” (1 Samuel 17:40)

RHEMA: 
Smooth stones from the stream are made ready for something greater.

MESSAGE:
Every person symbolized as a stone in which the stream where it lives on is the earth. Some remains bumpy, some with spikes, some still rough but some becomes smooth. The bumpy, spiky and rough stones are stiff, cannot be moved and even damage other stones beside them. Some of these stones might just been there a few years later so they are just starting to be refined. But some are resistant to the current and other creatures in the stream so they remain as they are. Smooth stones are open. They let the current and other creatures wash them and refine them although they may be hurt or even broken. These smooth stones are then chosen by their Maker and finally take them to a greater place where in they are more valuable and of purpose.

MOTIVATION AND APPLICATION: 
Back then, I refused I needed help or guidance from my parents and even from God. I do what I want and even say bad words to my parents. I was resistant. I believed that I know better. As I get older, I still believed I know what is best for me and so I chose to be dependent on one person only. And he was my all and I thought that he already defines who I am, that I am already one with him and believed that he was also like that with me. We attended mass some Sundays and visited Catholic and Evangelical churches. But I don't here God and was so busy in love for that person. I never did grew whatever relationship I have with God. Because I believe it was enough and never needed anyone aside from that person I so much held on to. But I was wrong. I was deaf and blind to what God wants me to be. And then this person left me. And I became more resistant. I never listened to what my sister told me about moving on and even from my friends who just wanted me to be happy. But then there was a time that I have tried attending a gathering from which I did not hesitated to go to since my friend Philip invited me. I thought that maybe it's time to let go of my pride, being resistant and all. And from there I knew, I am being refined. Each day of my life becomes different, how I react and how I handle situations. At times I still go back to being resistant but because God is helping me to be refined, He reminds me in ways I never imagined. And He keeps on pushing me to be open, to just let the current wash me but holds me strongly. And when the right time comes that I am completely smooth and refined, He will pull me out of the stream and I'll be with him forever.

Lord God, you are my shepherd and my only God. You are my King and you are my authority. Lord God, forgive me for being resistant and rebellious in situations I find hard or difficult to overcome but I really appreciate that you continue to hold me and never let go. May you bless the lives of the people you chose to protect me and transcend your love to. And may you continue to remind me and inspire me everyday to be open to the current of this life on earth. Keep me strong Lord until that time, that I may be ready to take your hand and be with You forever.

Although I have read this chapter yesterday and missed to write something about it, I decided to still reflect and post it here. This chapter/day 5 is another realization for me.

A lot of things happen to us each day and I never thought these are part of God's tests. I don't reflect on my actions and just burst my emotions out. As simple as situations like someone bumped me while rushing or someone stepped on my feet during my ride on a bus, I suddenly say "Aray!" even though it's not painful and I expect an apology from them. And if I didn't get one, I feel anger. It's as if my pride is thickening my heart. But when I read this chapter, I realized even small things can be a test. God searches my heart in every situation happening in my life. And of course the big situations are always there and can't be ignored. I am trying each day to not let anger or pain take over me. Yeah at first but I managed to overcome it with God's help. With my friends' encouragements. I understand their situations, carefully thinking what they are going through. Yeah what they did to me were like unforgiving but sometimes people had a blurry sight on what they are doing because of their current situations in life. I don't want to throw more pain or difficulties in their lives so I chose to understand and let them realize on their own what happened.

God trusted me a lot of things in this earth. The animals, the environment and even our belongings. But the most valuable among them are the people I meet and I grew up with. God has a reason why I encounter these people. It's a two-way reason: to mold me and to mold them. And God gave me freedom on how I can be mold and mold them. I may see them as people only wanting to hurt me or see them as the ones who are helping me to build what I am truly made of. I may consider myself to make these people down or help them get the best out of them. Relationships are built not to be broken but to complete who we are. Each person we have right now, our family, friends or even strangers we encounter in the streets are our responsibility. It was said in Genesis when God created man that He had entrusted all of His creations to them. And man is God's creation.

So as I live my life today, I will always remember that every situation on earth is a test and that He had entrusted me to take responsibility of His creations.

So far, this day was the most exciting day of reading the purpose-driven life book. So again thanks be to God that He made Pau lend me this book.

I never realized that I was made to live forever. I don't even care about my life. I tried and thought about ending it so many times before and that my life was never important. But little by little, by what was happening to me every single day, Lord lights up my mind and shows me what life means.

Reading day 4 made me realize that this life on earth is a preparation for eternity. While I was reading, I saw a vision of myself with Jesus seating somewhere in His kingdom and He is like holding ne and showering me with His love. It made me excited. And as I read more, I became curious of what I will be doing for God in His Kingdom with all the talents He has given me. I find it very exciting to please Him with what I can do for Him when we are already together living in His kingdom.

And then I realized that my training ground for all the things I will do in His kingdom is here on earth. And then I envision a situation talking to my manager telling him that I want to be a people manager. I also envision myself talking to people about God, not only here in my country but also in another country.

I will make it happen soon. I believe that He wanted me to step out of my comfort zone and start my training NOW before my body dies here on earth and until His judgement day.

Lord, God truly I am thankful for your revelations to me. Thank you for showing me my worth in your kingdom. I felt excited and again burning with fire for the eternity I would spend with You, to love You and Serve You and all my fellow believers. I love You Lord Jesus! Thank you so much for pulling me towards You despite of my past and my stubborness.

I want to stop doing what will hurt you and I want to start training myself for the eternity that I will spend with You!

A lot of wordly things drives my life. The past, fear, emotions, pressure at work and from family, even in church or even from myself, Christmas giveaways are also getting in the way. I tend to not do what is the righteous thing because of these driving factors that were greatly affecting my life. I neglect and forget what is God's purpose for my life.

Yes we are on earth to prepare for eternity and not to leave a remembrance to anyone here. I should keep in mind that God will ask me at the end of days if I am in Christ and if what God gave me were utilized and was used for His plans.

If im going to ask my family on what is driving me everyday to wake up, I believe they would say it was them. But the driving factor I would like is God's will. I should not forget about his plans in my life - jeremiah 12:9.

God new before I was born who am I going to be, what would I be like. He designed me and planned my life. He knew where and from whom I should be born because He knew what should I do when I am able to live in that place and in that circle of people.

What my friend had highlighted in the book on the poem above was also the striking stanza for me. It hit me hard earlier this morning when I read it. I had a lot going on this year. I hate this year so much because of all the heartaches I have and have been experiencing. But then I thought, this is also the year I started my relationship with Christ. This is the year I realized that the Lord is more than the one I know before. This is the year where I recognizes His presence and that He is there walking beside me.

I know He designed and created me for a purpose. But I still have some areas to work on. I'm stubborn. I easily get angry. I easily get upset. I easily trust. I easily give up. I easily lose hope. I tend to pressure myself and people around me gets affected. I am very emotional and oftentimes I lose control of myself. All I want is to be happy but I keep on taking opportunities that won't really make me happy in the long run. I have to change that. I have to take control.

This is not who I really am I believe. I was put into a different version of me because of the situations I have encountered during my 29 years of stay on earth. The world truly changes the design of God but if I truly seek Him and accept that what I am right now is not the true me, I know I can go back to what I was designed as and designed for. I will know for sure who am I really and what is my purpose why am I created by God.
