Lost and Found

Back then, I really don't have issues with religion. Maybe because ever since I was a child, I am aware that my parents are both active in church. People around would always tell me that my parents are such a good role models (and oh,they really are!) and that we should act like them. I can still remember the times we always go to church together every Sundays and sometimes they also bring us to prayer meetings and some church gatherings. But back then, I really don't have any idea why we do such things, all I know is that I have to go with them and obey them, although I already have the concept that there is "GOD". But who is "God" after all? Why can't I see Him?


I always go to church every Sunday because my mom keeps on reminding me that I have to go, that I should not miss not a single Sunday to glorify and praise Him. So during that time, I go to church unwillingly- that's my concept about religion back then,you go to church,obey your mother,listen to homily,write the gospel in a paper (it's a requirement in our school!), you sing with the choir,you say AMEN. That's it.


Not until I went to manila and found the Victory church inside St Thomas Square. Actually, I really have no intentions to go there, I just accompanied my friend who is a Born again christian. At first, I thought it will be just a boring sermon where all you have to do is to listen to the pastor and sit there like for 2 hours. But I was wrong! When they started to sing, I can feel their sincerity and their intense love to Him. At first, I was hesitant to sing with them, but when I started to close my eyes and lift my arms, I can almost feel that I am singing directly to God, and believe me, it's the most amazing experience I have ever felt in my life. I am so amazed with these people because they are not ashamed to show their love for God.


At that time, it became a habit that every Sunday, I have to be there and listen to the pastor's sermon, it always uplifts my spirit. They never fails to remind me that I am so blessed to be loved by Him. And I am very much grateful because I have found Him. I love Him and forever will glorify him.
