Santiago 1:2

Ang katapatan at pagtitiyaga ay napakahalaga sa buhay espiritwal. Nais ng Diyos na tayo ay maging matapat sa kapwa maliliit at malalaking bagay. Nais din ng Diyos na mamuhay tayo nang matiyaga upang mas maging ganap tayo sa harap Niya.

Katulad ng isang puno na lumalago at namumunga, ganoon din ang ating pananampalataya sa Diyos. Kailangang patuloy na lumago at mamunga ng Banal na Espirito ang ating pananampalataya. Sa pamamagitan ng debosyonal na ito, matututunan natin kung paanong palaguin ang ating pananampalataya sa lahat ng sitwasyon ng buhay na mayroon tayo.

In all the holiday hustle and bustle, it can be easy to lose sight of why we’re celebrating. In this 5-day advent plan, we’ll dive into the promises fulfilled by the birth of Jesus and the hope we have for the future. As we learn more about who God is, we’ll discover how to live through the holiday season with hope, faith, joy, and peace.

Suffering can be perplexing. God’s people—and even Jesus himself—have often asked the “Why?” question when facing suffering. Scripture pulls back the curtain to reveal some, though not all, of God’s purposes in permitting suffering to enter our lives. Through it all, we are called to persevere faithfully, resting in the assurance of ultimate victory and eternal reward.
