Inspirational God Books

I met God in my life at the time that I was seeking a deeper relationship with Him. I attend mass every Sunday but I feel no deep insight what God has planned for me, it’s like going to church as an obligation. There was no fellowship as I don’t know the person beside me and everything was like a tradition until I met God. God used my brother to share His wonderful words to me and throughout the 3 months that we shared God’s word it finally dawned on me that I need God in my life more than ever. I was revived in the spirit and the empty space inside my heart was filled with gladness of having God in my life.

I started to join my brother’s church fellowship and was baptized after a month. It wasn’t an easy step for me because when I left the religion that I was born into I encountered difficulties and persecutions. I didn’t let those things discouraged me from going on and from that day onwards I’m still at my feet serving God. My life was transformed from a blank future to a well secured life, from reading romance and wisdom books to religious books, from hanging out with office friends to staying in the church’ bible study, from spending my money on material things to saving some of it for our camp meeting fellowship and outreach ministry.

Although I’m not perfect I tried to live a life centered on God’s fellowship. God has changed many things about me and I’m so glad He had because the old me is not worthy to be called a Christian. Reading God books has helped me see life in a different perspective and it also changed most of my bad attitudes. The Holy Bible made me see how God showed His grace, mercy and compassion to His children. The different books in the bible can be a pattern to our lives also as it shows how our brethren in the old times has lived and turned to God for help.

The stories showed how they learn from their mistakes and how God has forgiven them. It tells a lot about the teachings Jesus has shared to His disciples. It’s really good to be with God’s presence that even if you have problems you’re confident that there is someone who will help and guide you no matter what. Now with the modern technology we have now we can read teachings and messages online like what Bob Fraley Christian Life Outreach is doing. They’re sharing God’s word all over the world and helping the people in Africa. Visit their site for some inspirational books!

God Changed My Life

I was reminiscing about 17 years ago when my soul is searching for a kind of spiritual fulfillment, at that time I can’t fully understand what I’m seeking for. I don’t want to attend the regular mass anymore because I can’t seem to feel a personal closeness to God during those ceremonies. I started to frequent adoration chapel instead of going to regular mass and there I found peace and felt closer to Him. But it doesn’t end there because I seek more. Then one relaxing morning while I was having breakfast with my brother we had some sharing on God’s word and it has become a habit for us every morning, I was on an afternoon shift then so I guess it fits us well.

That word sharing extended to an invitation to attend their church fellowship and that first Sunday that I attended the fellowship service marked my birth renewal spiritually. I finally found what my soul is seeking for, my spirit was renewed and whole being was changed day by day through God’s help. Being a born-again Christian is not a bed of roses as you’ll have persecution on the way from your friends, relatives and sometimes from your loved ones. I was lucky to have a family that understands me and we all became born-again Christian.

The road led me to a simple life that centers on God’s word depending not on man’s reasoning but on His wisdom. Simplicity deprived us of the things that we grew up on like extravagance, vices, spending on traditional habits like fiesta and some other things that we don’t actually need in our life. I had a change of wardrobe and physical looks, change of lifestyle, change of priorities and a completely changed perspective in life. There are a lot of criticisms but the glory of living my life with Jesus paid it all.
