The Message of the Cross

When I see a cross, I remember the Savior. What would life be if He did not go into this world to save mankind? We all live hopelessly -- without any direction in life.

But because Jesus died on the cross for us, we have this hope of eternal glory. We can be with him for eternity. If we accept him as our personal Savior and Lord, He gives us the right to become children of God.

What wonderful message it is! If we admit that we are sinners, believe in the power of Jesus and that His death on the cross means salvation to all, and if we confess our sins accept Him as our Savior, He is faithful and just to forgive us from all our sins and purify us from all our wrongdoings.

Let everyone hear, the incredible message of the cross!

Where There's Sun, There's Hope

The mailman arrived and handed over my letters. There was nothing exciting from receiving them. Most of them are my unsettled light and credit card bills. I am a single mom who tries to make ends meet. This life is hopeless, why did I ever make so many mistakes in the past? If not for the wrong decisions I made, my child and I would not have suffered this much. It feels like the whole world is on my shoulder and there's no one to lean on to.

Whenever I feel this way, I look at my toddler. His angelic face is the only thing that keeps me going. His perfect smile as he sleeps is wonderful. He gives me the strength to hold on. Oh, how badly I want to give this child a better future! I will crawl if I have to just to provide his needs.

He is like a sun to me. He is my hope - he gives me light in spite of the darkness around me. And as long as I have him, I will hold on to that light!

Waves Don't Seem So High

Life’s waves may be high.
They can be unbearable and painful.
Sometimes, we may feel hopeless and down.

However, the waves don’t seem so high
From the top of them looking down.
Be above the waves!
Conquer and overcome them!

Dealing with Wind and Waves

One sunny, summer day, two kids were having fun at the beach.

While playing in their cottages, they noticed that the winds have become stronger, thus creating bigger and bigger waves.

The girls later on decided to go near the shore and feel the waves.

Not too long after that, they were jumping and enjoying the waves that the sea gives them.

In life, we experience waves.

Some of them big and some are small and we can easily handle them.

Problems are like waves and it’s completely up to us on how we deal with them.

We can cry our hearts out with no resolution,

Or we can overcome them happily, accepting them as part of life’s stepping stone for a better tomorrow.

Don’t give up, the waves will soon disappear and the winds will calm. Stay strong.
