Word of Hope for Today with
Bro. Rolly Custodio
‘Don’t let anyone look
down on you because…’ 1 Timothy 4:12 NIV
Today’s Insight
Try as you may, you
will never fulfil a dream that is not your own. Stop and think about your
personal history. How have your plans, goals and desires been influenced by
others? Is it possible your dreams are the result of who your parents think you
are? Who others think you are? Who you wish you were? Or are they the result of
who you really are and what God meant you to be? You will live the life for
which God created you, only after you figure this out.
When a dream is
right for you and you are right for a dream, the two cannot be separated from
each other.
TS Eliot
said, ‘Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think; whatever you want, be
sure it is what you want.’
Paul told Timothy,
‘Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young.’ Evidently certain
people in the early church thought Timothy was too young and inexperienced to
be in leadership. But Paul thought differently; and so did God.
Cecil G. Osborne
writes, ‘The young child has no clear picture of himself. He sees himself only
in the mirror of his parents’ evaluation of himself…A child who’s told
repeatedly that he is a bad boy, or is lazy, or no good, or stupid, or shy, or
clumsy will tend to act out this picture which the parent or some other
authority figure has given him.’
Let God, and
God alone, tell you who you are and what you should do. Get His opinion, for in
the end it’s the only one that counts!
Today’s
Prayer
Heavenly Father thank you for your
Word today. Lord, I come before you with a humble heart. Lord thank you for
looking differently about me even I have no education you look my heart how I
serve you. Lord thank you for calling, choosing and qualifying me because I
believe you will equip me everything that I need so that your purpose for me in
my life will be for your glory. In Jesus Name, Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of
all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior
Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now
saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus
you will not die but you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of God.
In order to grow in your faith with God please do these consistently starting
today; 1. Pray always 2. Read your Bible Daily 3. Attend Church Services
Regularly 4. Attend Prayer Meeting, Bible Study, Church Seminars and make God
first place in your life with your talents and finances 5. Lastly, witness
