No matter what Paul might be called upon to suffer, no matter what hardships he might undergo, he was determined that his life would be a means of magnifying Jesus. And without flinching, he held tight to that determination through peril, pain, and imprisonment, and even willingly offered his body as a sacrifice.
Some of us may not be able to see how Jesus could be magnified in our bodies. We may think that it can be done only during times of persecution for our faith. But that is not the case.
Our hands can magnify the Lord as we write letters of encouragement. Our feet can magnify Him as we go on simple errands of helpfulness. Our voices can magnify Him as we give our testimony and sing His praises. Our hearts can magnify Him as we express in prayer our love for the redeeming Christ. Our ears can magnify Him as we gratefully listen to sermons exalting His grace.
If we know Jesus, we can lift Him up to others in our daily lives. —Vernon Grounds
Take my will and make it Thine—
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart—it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne. —Havergal
You are one of a kind—designed to glorify God as only you can.
Nakakatuwa lang ang bread for the day ko ngayon. Nagpaparemind sa akin na marami akong pwedeng gawin to magnify my Master. Akala ko kasi minsan ang sama-sama ko na talaga at wala na talaga mabuting ginawa. =) But Jesus just know how to cheer me up and say "ok lang iyan you have done something to make me smile today".
I think I am so impatient nowadays..minamadali ang mga bagay. but still praying His will to be done. Haay...actually naguguluhan na rin ako... Siguro it's just a struggle... Test of Patience. Sana malagpasan ko ito. ( with your help God)
Masarap malaman na mahal ka ng Diyos despite ng lahat ng loop holes ng character mo. At minamahal ka niya continously kahit sinasaktan mo siya ng madalas dahil sa sin na na-commit mo. Basta wag kang bibitaw. Jesus loves you. Let his love heal you and give you eternal peace that satisfies your soul. Yun lang ang pwede mong pagkunan ng strength sa lahat ng tests sa buhay mo. Your life here on earth is just a journey. Dahil sa heaven ka naman tlaga dapat na nakatira. Don't give up your faith. Just trust him and let Jesus be the center of your life. Asks the holy spirit to come to your life. Just asks and it will be done.
Matthew 17:20
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."[a]
