Jesus Saw You

Jesus Saw You


Around 9 a.m., I picked up my phone in my room and clicked on the application, "The Chosen". Some of you may be familiar with this app. I opened it and clicked on Season 2, Episode 2, which I had not yet finished watching.

While watching the movie, one conversation deeply touched my heart. It was between Jesus and Nathaniel, Philip's friend. This was Nathaniel's first encounter with Jesus of Nazareth.

Jesus said to him, "I saw you when you were at your lowest moment and alone."

"How do you know me?" Nathanael asked.

Jesus answered, "I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you." (You can find this in the passage of John 1:48.)

I won't delve deeper into their conversation, but the message I want to share is that "Jesus always sees you when you are at your lowest moment and alone." You know those times when you're crying alone, feeling sad about recent events, or worrying about the future. Sometimes, we feel disappointed in ourselves because of a series of failures. We try our best but still feel inadequate in the eyes of others. It's a sad reality of life. These feelings can greatly affect our emotions and lead to breakdowns.

But remember this: Jesus sees you.

The good news is that Jesus always sees you. Always remember that God is with you, especially in times when you need help the most. God is always by your side, not invalidating your feelings but comforting you.

Application:

Therefore, turn to Jesus. He knows what you're going through. Talk to Him. Cry and rest in Him.

Conclusion:

Jesus always sees you. He never abandons you at your lowest point. And when you try your best for others but feel like you’re not good enough, remember that God is really proud of you. Never forget that.

A Journey to the Ruins of Sininbahanan

A Journey to the Ruins of Sininbahanan Our class at TCC is only half a day every Saturday, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Since our class ends at 1 p.m., I thought of visiting a place in Tiwi that I had never been to before. I asked my classmate, Ella, if she wanted to go to the sea in Baybay, Tiwi. She immediately agreed, which made me happy because it felt like an adventure, even though I had already visited that place. However, I told Ella that I wanted to explore a new area in Tiwi. She recommended ‘Sininbahanan’. I didn’t know anything about the place, but I was intrigued because ‘Sininbahanan’ means church. At first, I thought it was just a beautiful church to visit. I didn’t have any particular expectations for the place, but I was eager to go there and gain a new experience. "We decided to have lunch in the afternoon first, and then visit the Chinese garden. I'm not sure of the exact name of the place; some people refer to it as the Japanese garden, but that doesn...

To accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior: Acceptance ba talaga ang makakaligtas sa akin?

"Prayer of acceptance doesn't guarantee your salvation. Just because you accepted Jesus doesn't mean you're already saved." That's what my brother from church told me. Then I started thinking more deeply. I said to myself, if the prayer of acceptance or accepting Jesus doesn't save us, does that mean the pastors and leaders are lying when they do the prayer of acceptance and tell the person they're offering acceptance from Jesus that they are now saved? So they're lying. And maybe the scripture is lying too. I stopped meditating on these thoughts or questions that I had. It's been a long time, but it's still a question for me, and I'm still confused. One morning, while I was sweeping outside, I thought about it again. Then I found myself talking to myself about this until I thought that maybe the prayer of acceptance is just a license. Then Boom! I realized that the prayer of acceptance or accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savio...
