I witnessed an event last night that God really blesses those who know how to thank Him back for all the blessing He is giving.
I was attending to our small store while watching the episode of Game Ka Na ba whose guest was someone very religious.
In fact, at the beginning of the show he already mentioned that he is giving 10 percent of whatever money he can get to his churches that will serve as his tithes.
I almost dropped my jaw, when at the end of the show, he finally took home a 1,000,000 pesos straight from banker.
It was so amazing cause the money or options left are very big amounts. In short, he won’t lose anything.
The options left were two hundred thousand, five hundred thousand and 2 million pesos, if I am not mistaken.
In the end, the two options left were two hundred thousand and 2 million pesos. He was offered one million pesos and he then decided to go for the one million and not leave his faith to uncertainty.
It appeared to be a very good decision cause the case has 200 hundred thousand on it.
See? It was really amazing, and somehow you can feel God’s presence. Perhaps it was His way of telling me, that good things happen to people who know how to thank Him.
In the bible, it is said that only God gives us the ability to produce wealth and everything that we have, is from Him.
One way, of showing our love and gratitude to Him for everything He is doing us, is through giving Him at least 10% of his share from salary or any financial venture.
The hubby is a strong believer of this. He keeps reminding me that I will really be amazed at how fast blessings can come if I learn to establish this as a habit. He also said that even if God may not give in the same terms, like monetary or material things, he surely will give other great blessings such as good health, security, protection and favor above others.
I also learned that giving tithes is not all about getting more. It’s more on showing God that we are thankful for having all the things that we already have. It’s a simple way of saying thank you.
Even in real life, if someone gives you things and you don’t show gratitude, would you still want to give?
I doubt so. So, this year and the next to come, I want to make it a habit to give to God first before anything else.

Savior I come
Quiet my soul remember
Redemptions hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

Chorus:
Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Oh Lead me, lead me to the cross

You were as I
Tempted and trialed
Human
The word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now you’re risen
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

Chorus

Bridge:
To your heart
To your heart
Lead me to your heart
Lead me to your heart

I stumbled through a website, the Mimi Writes wherein it has a post that contains these pictures. These are just so lovely. It made me shiver, and it made me wonder and think about my life.

It’s like when you stare at this photos, it will make you think of the mysteries of life. It will make you ponder, whether you are certain where you are going. It will make you examine your relationship with God further.

Oh, it feels like home to me. God must be on the other end, waiting. It makes me think, that heaven is indeed real, and God is already preparing our place on it. Hope this picture will serve as a remind to all of us, that we should not be neglecting our personal relationship with God, our spirituality. For it is useless if you gain the whole world and you lost your soul in the process. We don’t know when God would come, it might be later, tomorrow, the next day, or the next year. Only God knows…
