JAMES 4: 6,10 But He gives us much Grace. That is why the Scripture says:
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble”
Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up.
BACKGROUND
About me? It is nothing. I am a fool. Easy go lucky. I don’t respect others. I lived in darkness. I’m the youngest member of our family. All I wanted to do is worldly things, very humanistic. Even though I belong to the choir of a Catholic Church, still, I’m a slave of my own desire, my sinful heart. Who am i? I am the worst; I don’t deserve anything, only by death…
MAJOR SPIRITUAL INFLUENCES
Shepherd Dr. John Talavera
Finally, God made His plan to me. Something that I don’t deserve, what is it? To be His servant. I am a friend of Rem; she invited me in Fatima Antipolo to have a Bible Study with Dr. John. It is true that when your heart is empty God will conquer it. At first I could not appreciate God’s work in my life, but only by His Grace I learned to commit myself to Him. My first Bible study with Dr. John was Genesis 18-19 about Sodom and Gomorrah. It was awful because God revealed himself to me, his power, and mercy and how worst I am, but God is faithful to me. He changed my whole life the way He wanted.
DREAMS/GOALS IN FOLLOWING CHRIST
About my goals and dreams? All I want is to know God more and to bring glory for my career. To teach other people about God and to reach their souls. If God will allow me to be a Pastor or Missionary, it would be a great blessing for me. God knows His plan according to my path and my heart. Jesus Christ encourages me and how to decide to follow His will and teachings. I’m like a child that sits on the floor waiting for His Father to put in his arms and follow everything He wanted.
