We need it too! :)

Hebrews 10:25

English Standard Version (ESV)

²⁵ not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Wow! I love this verse! :)

Cause it's like a verse that knows what will happen, especially when it say's

"as is the habit of some"

that just means, some people will really be want to be connected

but would feel like singing Bruno Mars's song "lazy song"

1st, YOU need church! :)

I'd love to quote a lyrics in a song feat. C-Lite:"why we need community? Oh yeah, cos Our God is one(community)"

aint that clear?

2nd, Encouraging one another!

Compliments are good but encouragements are more deep. It pumps something inside you that you won't feel in a "you look good today"

I mean, that's good, but we are at war, you will need a lot more than "you look good" in a war?

How about a "you can do it" "it is done brotha! come on!"

and lastly, You encourage on purpose, You encourage because you know that

the Day is coming.

Not that i know when it will come, i just know it will someday.

It's kinda like nobody knows when we are going to die, right?

But we all know that we will.

So encourage people to press on, never give up! You have to! Don't be lazy!

No excuses brotha! :)

Glow in a dark life.

Ever played or seen a glow in the dark thing?

Maybe a watch, pair of bracelets, or something that just glows according to light.

It's just funny how we are like glow in the dark toys too,

and how the Bible refers to us being the "light" of the world.

but the question is,

where or what is your source of glow?

why do you glow at first place?

Do you expose yourself enough in the light?

Though i don't have a specific verse cos pretty much there is a lot of verse that talks about this,

but things just popped out my mind, that

will people around you recognize you as a glow in the dark person?

or flow in the dark?

Check your light, baka dim light lang yan or bka di pangmatagalan yan.

Since God is the ultimate master creator of light, why not get that glow from Him rather than from things or people or experience or anything that won't last?

Faith = Confidence.

Have you ever felt doing something that you can't do

then you turn to somebody who knows you better and he say's confidently,

"I know you can nail that, i know you, right?"

and you just feel like you can cos his confident and pretty sure that it makes you feel like,

"argh! I can't but since you say it, i can't help but agree.."

Ever felt like that sudden Faith or confidence of somebody gave you that boost?

I bet (with no money) that this was actually one of Paul's experience,

he felt like "God i cant, i mean look at me, walk in asia? in Corinth, etc"

It was pretty hard and easy in a way for Paul.

Hard in a way when he starts looking in what he is, who he is, what he has..

and Easy in a way that he knows God is backing him up when his being told to do something.

Well this is just based on my observation.

Since he said in 2 Timothy 2:13

"when we are faithless, He is always faithfull because He cannot deny Himself."

If you look at it, Paul was giving an advice to timothy based on experience..

though he was a super disciple (if i can use that term)

He was still human, there were hard times,doubts, faithless moments and the likes..

but God likes to say to his son's

"you can, I will, so go! "

How about you that? Ever felt like doubting, tempted to give up,

looking at yourself's disadvantage,

and ever felt that God is confident that he get you through it?

I dont know about you, but i do.

Since He is confident and faithfull, why not take that step of faith? :)
