Meeting with Mr. DFA

I was scheduled for personal appearance in DFA the other day and it was a disappointing yet interesting experience. Thanks to some friends who were thoughtful enough to give me some tips and i was able to be there in one piece. I was advised to bring 3 more pictures because the initial pictures i submitted were rejected. The representative said, it was blurry. So i decided to just have my picture taken right there. Thinking that since it's in DFA, it would be perfect. But i was wrong. I kinda felt that it was a scam that the 2nd set of pictures I'm supposed to submit were rejected again by the "guy-in-blue-vest-mr.-know-it-all" and he said that those pictures where yellowish and would not pass Mr. DFA's requirement. Of course I had to have my picture taken again so I can enter Mr. DFA's kingdom. Then i entered his building. I passed two security checks where they checked on my things unlike the usual mall check ups where they just put the stick inside your ba...

SATISFACTION IN LIFE

2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith We all tend to satisfy ourselves with things in this world. Yet we all know that true satisfaction comes only from Him. I pray to God that we desire the satisfaction that comes from righteousness and quality in our relationships and activities. Satisfaction in life comes from living righteously and seeking to raise the level of quality in the relationships, services and products you are involved with. Matthew 5:6 says, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." Do you really believe that? If you did, what would you be doing? You would spend more time feeding your spirit than trying to satisfy your fleshly desires. Have you ever tried to satisfy the flesh? It can't be done. The more you feed it, the more it wants. What causes you to become dissatisfied? It's usually because the quality of the relationship, service or p...

Come Out

I am encouraged and re-assured with His word through this devotional. I hope you will be too. COME OUT by Charles R. Swindoll Read 1 Kings 19:10--18 God met his servant Elijah in his desperate moment of discouragement and despair. This is mercy at its best, beautifully portrayed by the Master Himself. First, God allowed Elijah a time of rest and refreshment. No sermon. No rebuke. No blame. No shame. No lightning bolt from heaven, saying, "Look at you! Get up, you worthless ingrate! Get on your feet! Quickly, back on the job!" Instead, God said, "Take it easy, my son. Relax. You haven't had a good meal in a long time." Then He catered a meal of freshly baked bread and cool, refreshing water. That must have brought back sweet memories of those simple days by the brook at Cherith. How gracious of God! Fatigue can lead to all sorts of strange imaginations. It'll make you believe a lie. Elijah was believing a lie, partly because he was exhausted. So God gave him ...
