The Hard Times for Good

I have a very informative journey in this course. I have learned things which I have not learned before. I was also fun studying with my batch mates since we can exchange ideas of the past issues that are still relevant in today’s living.
As I study with subject, I was really impressed about the life of the early Christians. I was amazed how they have spent their lives in pursuing to do what they believe is biblically right. The names of Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley and others are those people who I was challenged to commit my life in God’s service no matter what. They have given their lives thought it’s very hard just for the sake of doing God’s will in their lives. I admire their commitment.

During my grade school, I was having a hard time of memorizing facts and dates. That’s why I don’t like history subjects. So, in terms of memorizing those significant events it really challenges me. But what really pushes me to strive hard, to be better, passionately pursuing the Lord’s calling in my life is when I study on my own. I was hard because I am deprived of direct interaction with others about some issues which I consider very much helpful for me since I can see ideas which I have not notice on my first phase of learning as I exchange ideas with others. But I cannot choose the option of quitting. It was just a test of my faith in God. Though sometimes those people whom I think will be a help and encouragement for me are the ones that rather will turn me down, still God is just always there for me revealing Himself as a loving God so, even though it’s hard to pursue serving God, whom shall I fear anymore. Through God given strength and for His glory, I can do all things through Christ.

  1. I sincerely pray that this past few weeks have become a special time for you getting to know the Lord of History better and to love Him deeper. For indeed, the more we know Him, the better and clearer our perspective of ourselves would be. God bless you Antonio.
