During a prophetic intercession session, we saw the Lord breaking the strongholds of fear in the hearts of His children concerning the instability of the economy in recent times. And the fear of youths being alone to face  challenges in studies, pressures and mental stress.

We were called to pray, dwell and share two main scripture passages with the assurance from the Lord that He will act through our intercession together with that of our Blessed Mother for her children.

**Matthew: 8:23-27**

²³ Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. ²⁴ Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. ²⁵ The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”

²⁶ He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

²⁷ The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”

**Matthew 21:18-22**

¹⁸ Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. ¹⁹ Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.

²⁰ When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.

²¹ Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. ²² If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

Anchored to our vine and our rock, with roots drawing from living water, we will bear much fruit which flows out like great currents to all nations. We declare that ”Our Lord is alive in our lives as He wants to be in yours! “

Glory and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

Two weeks ago Winnie came to our pathways session with severe stiff neck and pains. Before the Session I prayed over her and asked her if she felt any improvement. She just smiled so I asked to let me know later. Today she came back for another pathways session and shared that she was healed. She also shared that when I said Jesus loves you dearly during the worship session she felt overwhelmed by our Lord’s love she cried.

Glory and praise to our lord Jesus Christ.

Just want to encourage everyone to step out in faith and be bold for the Lord. I was on the way home in the train when seated opposite me was a sister in Christ from School of Faith. She had mentored me for a little while before I joined Encounter. We spoke briefly as the train was crowded. After I got off the train I messaged her, she responded initially with a wide eyed emoji. Thought to myself oh well… But then later she responded…. Here is the exchange…

A few months back, my mum shared that she had been diagnosed with stomach cancer and that it was spreading fast. This happened even though I was praying over her practically every Sunday.

Needless to say I was distraught! Mum had also decided she was not going to receive any treatment for it. So even as I continued to pray in faith for her I wondered if I had just to accept it as our Lord’s will for her. I have had some success in praying over those who were sick or had suffered an injury or ailment but not all the time. And no matter the outcome I gave our Lord praise for it was all through His grace alone. I decided to just keep praying with faith and in faith commanding the cancer cells to die in Jesus’s name. And accept that His will alone be done.

Just this Sunday past, mum shared that the doctor looked at her test results, xrays and said the cancer had shrunk to very small and had stopped spreading.

Was going to wait for clearer results or that it is completely gone but to me this is already a victory won in Christ! Praise the Lord!

What an amazing men’s retreat we had on Saturday
Topics that were covered…

Man and His spirituality
Man and his work
Man and his family

Inspiring talks, and we got to pray for one another in our small groups. In my group there was four of us. So with my brothers we each got to pray each three times!

But I was led to pray for more individuals. One a new member who could only stay for the morning session, but I felt he needed a greater awakening to the presence of the Lord as he was not attending mass regularly. So I got my brothers to gather round him to pray for him and his family before he left.

The 2nd was pointed out by a Columbian brother who gave us the first inspiring talk about our Spirit, Soul and Body. (Man’s Spirituality) He had noticed our senior coordinator limping and asked if I could pray for him. So I searched him out during the break and prayed over him for his swift healing.

Later in the day I learned that my American brother who gave us the second talk had also injured his ankle recently and was still recovering. So I went up to him and offered to pray as well.

Love that I did not attend the restreat to be refreshed or rejuvenated for myself only, but to be an instrument of His grace and healing. Thank You Lord that I could put to practise what I had learnt by encountering You most profoundly at Encounter School of Ministry, and for the support and encouragement of my fellow classmates. Amen

Two weeks ago, a brother in Christ who is attending the Choices series together with his wife had a dark heavy laden aura about him. He is in my discussion group and struck me as a soft spoken, gentle person but carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. So when we ended our discussion of the topic that evening, I asked my group to gather round him to pray. I placed my hands on his shoulder prayed over and prophesied. When I finished I saw his wife who was standing on the other side of him sobbing.

Then when we gathered for our fortnight session on Thursday, I saw the brother in Christ I had prayed over, radiant and beaming with a smile on his face. The wife later shared that they didn’t expect to be prayed over two weeks ago but was touched profoundly that day. I am in awe of our Lord! I thought I only prayed over the husband that evening, but the wife received the touch and grace of our loving Lord too! Alleluia!

This evening as I sat in queue for the Sacrament of Reconciliation a sister in Christ who walked by asked me to pray for her but she did not stop probably thinking I would just offer prayers for her. So after finishing my recon, I knelt beside her in the pew she was in and prayed for her. Awesome to feel and bring His presence upon her, especially after having been cleansed of my sins! Amen

Attended a wonderful rally of Sorts by Sister Briege and Fr. Pablo.

Just before the healing session before the Blessed Sacrament,

I was sitting beside a youth, Kevin who was coughing quite a fair bit throughout the sessions. At first I was a little annoyed not so much that he could not control the volume of the cough but that he did think it prudent to wear a mask.

Just before the Adoration started I heard the Lord tell me, instead of being annoyed why do you not pray for him?

Felt a sense of shame but also really? Now Lord? Needless to say the prompting got stronger. So I asked his name as I did not know it before hand, placed my hand on his shoulder and prayed over him.

Praise the Lord! Not a total cure but definitely a great difference in frequency and volume.

Towards the the end of the Adoration session I asked the Lord for a word of encouragement for a brother in Christ who was facing great challenges as leader of the Charismatic renewal. Waited on Him but no Word came, instead I got a vision. No surprise since the Lord too has a sense of humour. You know the circular casing which holds the Blessed Sacrament well I saw that embedded at his solar plexus like iron man. The light of Christ was radiating from it.

I sensed the Lord saying, He is intimately attached to him and will cause His light to shine on those he ministers to for Him. Do not therefore let his heart be troubled.

What a grace filled evening this hallowed All Saints Day. We had a simple, nice dinner before attending mass and we were still about an hour early. My wife was proclaiming tonight and so she needed to be there slightly early to do a sound check. We sat right in front, close to the altar. I then took my kindle out to continue reading the book by Fr Acklin and Fr Boniface Hicks.

Suddenly I heard someone either laughing or crying but could not be sure. I turned to my daughter to ask if she heard it too but she said she didn’t. Then it got a little louder, still she did not hear anything. Third time I asked her and she finally said there was a lady seated six rows back who was crying. I was hesitant at first but felt that the Lord had opened my ears to hear His child in distress and I needed to respond. The lady was a total stranger to me as I did not recognize her. I went and sat beside her and asked if she was ok. She just sobbed louder with her eyes closed and tears streaming down her face. I asked if I could pray for her and she nodded her head vigorously. So I prayed aloud for her, for Jesus’s peace to flow into her troubled heart and went on with whatever the Holy Spirit led me to pray. I ended with asking our Blessed Mother to come sit with and comfort her as I prayed a Hail Mary. I then gave her a pat on her shoulder to reassure her of our Lord’s loving presence and returned to my seat. She stopped crying two minutes later.

Then to our great and pleasant surprise, we were approached and asked if we would like to be the offertory couple for this solemnity. What a Blessing!

The consolations that came during mass was a little overwhelming. Felt the love of God poured into our hearts! Don’t know about my wife but I teared a little.

When mass ended I wanted to share the Blessings and so prayed for healing for an elderly sister in Christ who still had pains from her knee surgery done not too long ago. Then a prayer of Blessing for the sister in Christ who had approached us earlier to be the offertory couple.

Jesus you’re so good! We love You. Amen

Yesterday as I was sitting waiting for my turn for the Sacrament of reconciliation, a sister in Christ lector sat beside me in the queue. She greeted me and we sat quiet waiting. Just as it was about my turn to go in I had an overwhelming sense from the Lord to tell her that He knows her current worries and that He will be with her through it. I then asked if it made any sense to her. She gasped and shared that she had just lost her job due to some restructuring and had not even told my wife her fellow lector yet! Praise the Lord! 🙏🏼

Sharing with permission… A Sharing by sister in Christ Cherry

Brought a tear to my eye, the bit about Jeremiah their son crawling to dad…

Sharing by a brother in Christ Augustine Ng *“… ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you…”*

Last evening as I was preparing /selecting the hymns for this morning mass, I came to this song. Knock knock (page 343)

It is very much inline with the gospel reading today. But I didn’t know the tune, tried to search on the internet but couldn’t find the hymn/tune either. I prayed to God to lead me to another hymn at His Will, a hymn that is inline with the gospel reading that I know the tune so that I can lead the hymn during morning mass.

By the guidance of Holy Spirit, With only one flip, I came to the following hymn “Glory to God on High” page 69. Take a look at verse 3… I was speechless, I could only only admire, adore and give thanks to His Almighty. Even I knew this hymn, I never expect verse 3 (we seldom sing) of this hymn is similar to the first hymn I chose which is very much inline with the gospel reading. These two hymns are almost 300 pages apart with similar lyric – “… Seek and you shall find..” When I came to this, I felt the the Holy Spirit ran through my body. As I share this, the focus is not on me, it is on the work of Holy Spirit.

Verse 3:
Seek and you will find
Ask and He will give
Trust the Lord with all our might
And then we’ll always live

May we learn to see God in everything we do. If we fail to see God in small things we do, we probably would fail to see Him in bigger things.

Scripture reading from the Lauds. Indeed each of us (you and me included) has received a special grace. We must use this grace with heart for God. We must be good stewards responsible for all these difference graces of God so that we can grow and get closer to Him, in everything we do we give glory to God through Jesus Christ.

Sharing from a brother in Christ Ivan (focolare) …

Good morning , wish to share my experience with you.
Yesterday I accompanied a Chinese worker to the National Eye Centre for check up. His right eye was blinded in an assault by his colleagues and left eye has blur vision with hearing deterioration and memory loss. His outstanding medical is over 10K as his employer refused to pay the hospital bill. Before going, we were prepared to be chased for bill settlement and even to be rejected for treatment if we couldn’t pay. Another barrier is the language as doctors may not speak Mandarin. That’s why I was asked to go with him. We prayed before we arriving at the Hospital as the worker was just recently baptised. Amazingly, we were not asked about any payment before and after the treatment and the Indian lady ophthalmologist even spoke Mandarin!.. She was very compassionate and asked the worker about his future plans. We spent 5 hours in the Eye Centre but the long wait was all worthwhile. I gained unexpected knowledge on Ophthalmology and most importantly, I could spend precious time with the worker.

Thank God for giving me a chance to love Him in our brother.✝

If you’ve watched the video above and loved it then you’ll be blown away by Father Don’s own conversion story. One of the most powerful testimonies ever of God’s love and mercy.

Eileen from our CG LOL Small Christian Community

Bear with me, my lol brothers and sisters. I’d like to share my christ encounter with you.

Svdp had corporal works of mercy today. I didn’t sign up for old folks home but was posted there. I knew God had a reason for putting me in the aged home instead of children’s home.

We had colouring activity. This old catholic man refused to colour any of the pictures (flowers, gumball, ice cream) because he did not like any of them. He insisted on a lighthouse picture but we did not have. He was adamant about a lighthouse picture with boats. I didn’t think I could draw well so asked a 21 year old girl to draw. She couldn’t draw too and i ended up copying the pic from Google.
I drew a lighthouse and boats that he wanted. I didn’t think I did a good job with the drawing and colouring. The old man told me he fell in a lighthouse before.
I also wrote a bible verse at the bottom of the picture.
“Oli, you are the light of the world.” (Matt5:14)
And around the lighthouse, I wrote “Jesus is the eternal light.”
He looked at my picture n the words and repeated the verse. I think he was moved because he took off his specs twice and rubbed his teary eyes. I was moved too. The lighthouse meant a lot to him and to me. There were many people who were lighthouse to me, in my moments of darkness. Others brought light and christ to me, now it was my turn to bring light n christ to him.
The old man took my lighthouse pic (he was so delighted!), went to his bedside and wedged the picture in his bible. 😭

( My LISS grouping of 2018 which I facilitated)

Life in the Spirit Seminar (LISS) Testimony

“I am with you always, until the end of time”
Matthew 28:20

I recalled last October 2018 when I was going through a very difficult period in my life on my professional and personal front, Sharon from Emmanuel Charismatic encouraged me to sign up for the Life in the Spirit Seminar. Honestly-speaking, I was rather doubtful and skeptical whether it would make any difference. However, I was feeling so down and hopeless that I was willing to try anything if my life could be on track again.

During the 8-week journey, I did not see any dramatic changes, but I soldiered on trusting that God would show me the way eventually. The changes came very gradually but surely, I started noticing that my response to difficulties started to change. In the past, I would face each issue with gloom and doom but after the LISS, I could calmly surrender my problems to Jesus with relatively more ease. Peace would descend upon me each time I let go and let God take over. What was interesting was that my personal situation remained grim, in fact, there was a period after the LISS, my situation worsened but I continued to call out to the Holy Spirit to guide me. Step by step, my life slowly transformed, and things started to be on track again.

Fast forward to today, problems remains in my life, however, my walk with Jesus has changed dramatically. Whenever I pray, I can see clearer what to ask, what God’s plan is for me, all within the framework of a submissive heart, free from worldly objectives. There is now a place in my heart where God’s love is untouched and unaffected by the events of this earth. I have become increasingly sensitive to wrong – both in all that surrounds me and in myself. I will feel deeply that “wrong” where once I merely “observed” it.

So, my dear Sisters and Brothers, I urge you to take that first step to come and join the LISS,

● Come because God is calling you – It is not coincidental that you are reading this;

● Come even you are unsure whether you can commit to the 8-week journey – Do your part, God will do the rest;

● Come even though you are afraid, and no one is accompanying you – God will find companions to walk with you during this journey;

May God bless you all the days of your life!

With Love

I was baptised on Mar 31 at Easter Vigil in 2018. My name is Meng and I’m now Jude-Maria too.

RCIA was an express train for me …

I had sought acceptance to the Catholic Church with a RCIA waiver.

My main justifications for this request ?

I had attended the Greek and Russian Orthodox Churches in Singapore previously and was nearly baptised in the Russian Church if not for work which took me to be based in Vietnam. My wife belongs to the Russian Orthodox denomination.

From 2016 to 2017, I had also started attending Holy Hours, Fatima processions, masses.

Even before I understood the Blessed Sacrament of the Most Holy Sacred Host, I must have holed up in adoration rooms in at least quite a few Catholic Churches countless times since 2010.

My (eventual) god-mother then arranged for me to meet some priests to justify my case of getting the RCIA waiver in October 2017.

I met Fr Michael ARRO first and he rightly insisted on the need for a “basic education” and introduction so that I can better understand the church, and especially since i was not illiterate.

I then met Fr Edward LIM the following week from meeting Fr Arro, and strangely in a session that didn’t take too long, I ended up asking Fr Ed if he was willing to admit me into his RCIA program even though it was nearly at half-way point …

RCIA : was my first taste of COMMUNITY
Of course, now in retrospect I can see how we Inquirers or Catechumens were bubbled wrapped and babied by brothers and sisters in the RCIA ministry and oftentimes also the active members of other ministries of Sts Peter & Paul (SPP). My catchup coach for RCIA was himself by then pursuing his Neocatechumenal Way with his wife. What rich diversity even at the beginning. And the workers for God’s work at RCIA speak volumes about how important such ministries and communities are.

After baptism, we were encouraged to join ministries. I am aware and still know these are wise and practical suggestions. To quote St Josemaria Escriva, “Conversion is the task of a moment; sanctification is the work of a lifetime.”

But journeying without companions must be the “Road to Emmaus when Jesus did not show up” (an episode that doesn’t exist) – for a neophyte, a returning Catholic, a born-again Catholic, a Catholic who graduated from CER, etc …

Some circumstances took me out of the post-baptism RCIA sessions at SPP and also ministering options which will work for me seem few …

God know better – I had been attending Catholic Prayer Society lunchtime masses since 2018 before baptism – the reflection session in the announcement after mass on 2018 May 2 finally activated me and called me to action. I contacted brother Julian whose face and name I recognised – he was an ex-colleague whom I didn’t know personally then and he invited me ‘to come and see’.

What happens at these Ephraim reflection sessions ?
It is primarily a get-together of people who work in the Changi Business Park area. Catholics, Christians, or folks open-minded to a session of up to 60-minute, where we read then reflected on sacred scripture and shared our thoughts (therefore reflections). ‘Where two or three gather in my name, I will be there among them.’

Usually we reflected on scriptures for the upcoming Sunday during Ordinary Time. At Lent, Easter, Advent, Christmas, we do use the materials provided by the Office of New Evangelism (ONE).

I attended my first reflection, then a second and a third and it went on throughout 2018 to the first 4 months of 2019. Those who attended who were just another Catholic to me initially, became members of a community who were supportive, humble, sincere – we all came together to share, our love of God, and sometimes our personal struggles, at work or at home or at church – the spirit of the community is communicated outside of our meetings in our WhatsApp group where we shared, requests for prayers, materials useful for formation and activities and events of the greater Catholic community in Singapore …

I soon attended my first reflection session for SCC (Small Christian Community) for Lecterns, Choir, etc led by Fr Terence PEREIRA. I began to sing at choir for CPS Changi and the “greeter party” to welcome our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Ephraim became a place of solace, a joyful 60-minute, away from the hectic demands at work or home – a piece of heaven here in my earthly pilgrimage – to meet members of the body of Christ – my first community of fellow-sinners and prayfully fellow-Saints-to-be.

With the experience of Ephraim – our community, this must have been one of the activation-moment for me, I proceeded to have less reservations with regards to Catholic programs – I will respond to calls to come and see, solicited or those I chance on…

Also, to be engaged with other “communities” in addition to Ephraim – journeying with brothers and sisters in our continued Catechism and formation. I was even able to volunteer to carry Our Lady of Carmel in the annual procession of 2018, attended my first silent retreat with Opus Dei, etc.

There are some personal constraints on what I can offer to God in ministries consistently at parish churches at the moment, I continue to pray and I thank God for the communities He was able to arrange bespoked for me.

For the love of God, we pray for you who are unable to participate in communities outside of your own household, social and work networks. We invite you to ‘come and see’, as a community that continues to grow by help from the Holy Spirit, the Word and examples Jesus left us in the Gospels, and God the loving Father who longs for the prodigal child’s return.

Come and see, or pray to God for you to find a community suitable for you today.

In the waters of uncertainty, this mum chooses to have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ even though at times it is very difficult…

Eugene is an 18 year old teen who had leukemia when he was 14 but now there is a relapse.

This is an update from mum Marilyn..

God’s peace be with us all. I know you have been praying n we are really grateful! Eugene ‘s fever has been persistent and all the test results are negative. It means there is still the opportunistic germs there. With the persistent fever it also goes to show that the antibiotics still have not hit it right. We need the fever to come down. Eugene’s more breathless today n very stress by the many things that went on- his port a cath is not working properly n trying to trouble shot. We need it to work well cos the antibiotics need to go through there. His hand plug is showing signs of over used n today has to set a new one which has been very challenging n painful . With the puffiness on his hands they can not find the vain until they used the ultra sound. Eugene has been in bed for a long period n there is concern with pressure sores as well. Today we were so stressed that I have failed to stand firm n still. I prayed I cried out but not seems to be able to see God’s hand at work. I know I need to be patient but is time on our side? I was distressed n God sent angels to minister to me. Met someone whose baby daughter also has cancer n 7 times scheduled operation failed so mum decided to discharge her n Dr told her if takes baby home, her baby will come back to hospital within days but it has been 2 mths and not back to hospital. She is also a sis in Christ. She said “believe in miracles. God make the blind see, the lame walk! We pray we fight“ Nothing is impossible to God! I surrender n continue to trust in the Lord. Eugene n Declan condition will be like Jesus turn water to wind. By His Word, Eugene n Declan will turn to become the best wine! Alleluia!

A wonderful sharing by a sister in Christ – Phyliss Lim

Peace be with you dear. I’d like to share the following with you for I know you have a cell group and hopefully it might help anyone going through what I have gone through…

Sunday I heard one of the best homily…reflected on it and realised that in this world that we are living, other than God, the only thing that is permanent is CHANGES. Many times I have been mocked with cutting words like..you call yourself a Christian? (When I don’t seem to do or say things that pleases them) I wanted to scream out loud that Christianity is a religion for sinners trying to be saints, and yes, I am a Christian and I am trying.

I find myself praying and praying for the same request and felt like God wasn’t going to answer me. Then I realise that every time I pray, I want my request to be answered the way I want…and when this doesn’t happen, many negative thoughts comes to my mind. Like God must have really turned a deaf ears to my prayers or like I am not favoured by Him etc etc

Then I come to reflect on the Lord’s Prayer, sentence by sentence and felt like kicking myself. Seems like all these while I have been saying that prayer without truly meaning it…how dare I say “Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.”
Overwhelmed with guilt, I told myself from now on, unless praying for others, I will be detailed in asking. But when it is for myself…I will just pray….
My Lord, my God, I abandon myself to You…Lord Jesus, You take over.

I don’t deny that at the back of my mind, the devil is busy replaying all the scenes of my miserable life…how much I am being despised, being persecuted, tormented with pain and sufferings…
It was like I had to stop meditating to rebuke the devil…but yet allow the memories of my late husband to continue playing in my thoughts. Maybe one day I will conquer that grief but, God forgive me, I am just afraid that if I let go of his memories, I will forget his voice, his smile, his smell, his touch and all that I once had of him.

I have been doing a lot of reflection…and I asked and answered my own questions.

ARE WE POOR
We have a God who was born in a stable.
ARE WE DESPISED
We have a God who was led away..he was crowned with thorns, dressed in filthy red cloak and treated like a mad man.
ARE WE TORMENTED BY PAIN & SUFFERINGS
Before our eyes, we have a God covered with wounds, dying in unimaginable pain.
ARE WE PERSECUTED
How can we dare to complain when we have a God who was being put to death by executioners.
ARE WE BEING TEMPTED BY THE DEMON
We have a lovable redeemer..he also was tempted by the demon.

While asking these questions. I recalled the words of St John Vianney…that is the answers I roughly remember.

Thus, the weapons in the spiritual struggles I find myself encountering are praying, fasting and to be watchful.
Victory is ours in Jesus Christ.

A little testimony on the importance of being part of a Christian community….

CG = Catholic Group

Bro Julian, I was reflecting on Nick and my journey together. And I could not help but be amazed by God’s hand thru our LOL CG. Thru CG, we came to know one another and there was support plus comaradie as we encountered one another to attend spiritual formations together. I can’t believe how Nick has grown from totally out of church and out of Christian values to being open to attending spiritual formations with me. I acknowledge this would not have been possible without God’s intervention thru LOL CG and her members. The little invitations in the group chat helped us become aware of the spiritual formations going on. And we draw one another to attend. God amazes me!

*What is my purpose in life?*

This is the question that was on my mind when I was growing up and at the same time thinking on where will my path lead me so that my chosen career will be successful.

In the year 2011, I was given an opportunity to work in Singapore as a Preschool Teacher and being a migrant worker for almost 8 years now, it encompasses a lot of hard work and sacrifices being away from my family and at the same time it makes me endeavour my goal and to apply what I have learnt from my good school but most specially to teach and mould the future leaders of this beautiful world.

Each time I look back through all these years, I am in awe realizing how much God has blessed me throughout my 30 years of existence. Every blessing that we received from Him should always be shared to our needy brothers and sisters. He gave us in abundance of wonderful blessings so that we will be able to touch other peoples’ lives and by doing that, they can feel God’s love through us.

I have made my life-long pledge to share the love that He gave me with all the people around. Every year for my birthday, I will always plan to do something meaningful and make sure that I will be able to spend time to the children with cancer in the Philippines and the homeless people in the city area. I do organize a celebration with magic show for kids and feeding programme with them. I am helping the Singapore Catholic Foundation, Caritas Singapore and Singapore Cancer Society with my monthly donation to give back and reach out to the needy as well.

Happiness cannot be found in how much money you have in the bank or how many luxury things you have collected and we do not need to be in a position to be called successful neither there will be no signs of what you will become in this life that God has lend us; we just have to take a look deep within ourselves and we will discover how blessed we are and how great is our God for giving us always what we need.

In this life, what will matter the most is when we made a difference, when we are able touch the lives of the people around us and we have managed well the use of the blessings that we received for the benefit of others. And through all these ways, our life will be more meaningful and truly be successful and by the time when God called us, we can proudly say that we have done our part and the life that we live for others is always worth living.

May God bless us all and may His name be truly praised in everything that we do! ❤
