A Young Believer Sings

Young And Brand New

In surfing Christian blogs I discovered a young lady posting great wisdom from a tender heart. It is worth mentioning and passing on...

Thank you, Tina. From the Phillipines, a young heart desiring understanding through Bible study, has reached around the world to touch a grandpa's heart in California.

God is so kind and knows our needs. Visit Tina's site and encourage her desire to start a Bible study group.

Excerpt from http://refineme.org

To be honest, I never really knew what I was missing, but when I started to re-attend YFC in DLSU, I discovered something else that I never really took seriously before. I realized then that it’s not with the group you’re attending but with your personal relationship with God. It’s not about your position in your group, nor the number of members you bring in, but how much you loved the people around you — whether you’re a member or a leader, it doesn’t matter. It’s about how often you talk to Him, how much you rely on Him to get you through the day. It’s about surrendering — acknowledging and living that He alone is enough for You, that everything begins and ends with Him. That good or bad, by the end of the day, He’s still the one who knows you, what you are going through and is continually shaping your future for you.It’s not just knowing about Jesus’ life, but believing that He was sent here by God and died on the cross to save us. It’s about believing that Jesus rose on the third day after He died. It’s about believing that Jesus did all those for you. It’s believing that He sent the Holy Spirit to be with us while we live on Earth.Most of all, it’s about His love. His amazing, unbelievable love that only He can give, and is willing to give even if we don’t love Him back. It’s about His love being enough to satisfy us, more than material things. And this is just the start, there’s more.And you know what? I’m happy. I can truly say that — I’m really happy. :) I still have problems and struggles, but I know that God will always be with me that He is in control. And when He is in control, everything will be okay, because there is no problem bigger than my God. I try to lay my life for Him everyday, and I know I still lack big time but His grace is more than enough. My life didn’t change overnight, but I can say that He’s changing it — He’s changing me everyday.
