What is one thing God spoke to your heart that you will never forget?
One thing that God spoke to my heart that I will never forget is this: “I was placed and planted here in this church because this is where I truly belong.”
This is the environment, community, and family that God chose for me. Dito ako lumaki. Dito ako natutong kumilala, umunawa, tumanggap, at maglingkod. God surrounded me with pastors, leaders, and mentors, and people who continuously poured into my life, not only inside the church, but even beyond its walls.
There were times when I would ask myself, “What if I was raised in a different family? What if I grew up in a different environment or community?” I would imagine how different my life could have been if I had been placed somewhere else.
But God spoke clearly to my heart. “I have a reason why you were born in this generation, for such a time as this.”
I realized that where I am today is not an accident. God intentionally placed me here, among these people, for a purpose. I am so blessed that I get to live this life with God’s precious people—people who protected me, guided me, corrected me, prayed for me, and helped shape me into who I am today. Looking back, I can clearly see God’s hand through every person He placed in my life.
And because of the life God has given me, my friends will come to know the God of salvation—the God who turns lives around. Because of the life God has given me, many people will worship Him and offer their praises to the One, True, and Living God. Because of the life God has given me, the people around me can see a reflection of God’s goodness, faithfulness, and grace.
And that fills my heart with so much excitement and expectation for what God will continue to do in and through my life.
That’s why I can confidently say! “Here in COG Harvest is where I truly belong!” ❤️🔥
