Then the Lord took Abram outside and said, “Look at the sky and see if you can count the stars. That’s how many descendants you will have.” Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord was pleased with him.” - Genesis 15:5
I became sad this morning. Mom and and I were talking in the internet and she told me that she thinks there’s a problem with my visa. Three weeks ago, I had an interview with the U.S embassy and until now, my visa is not yet arriving. I really don’t know its status. And I did not expect that she was the first one to discourage me. She said, “Let’s just accept that you’re not coming here anymore.” I cried so hard when she said this. Satan kept on telling me that “Maybe she’s right. Your God did not fulfill his promises to you.” I don’t want to entertain this negative thought.
God promised me that I will leave and be with my mom in the United States. I have already shared all of my plans to Him. When I arrive there, the first thing I will do is to find a Christian church. Then I will enroll in a university for this semester and continue my study. I will learn driving with my brother. We will shop together. I will continue my dental braces. I will have my vaccination next month. I will learn how to play musical instruments. I will take a gym class and plan for a diet. I will find a work for myself. I will bless my family, friends and church in the Philippines financially. I will send bibles, inspirational books and devotional notebooks to them. I will come back after a year for a vacation. I know I will be successful with this. I also dream of becoming a millionaire before this year ends… at the age of 19! And I don’t want to let that single negative thought (stated above) to destroy everything I’ve been dreaming of.
Last night, I saw stars in heaven and God told me, “Look at the sky and see if you can count the stars. That’s how many blessings I will bestow you. That’s how many people you will inspire with the talent I gave you. I will make you an eloquent speaker and writer. You will have many disciples. That’s how many places you will visit in the world. You will reach out with different people and you will bring them the good news. I will show you great things.”
I plan to travel around the world. I want to reach out with a lot of races. I want that God will bless me financially so that I could bless His people too. I want to serve the Lord with my whole life. As of now, I could see a good success that’s coming in my life; it’s because God has promised it to me. I’m a little bit discouraged right now, because I received several discouragements from my family. But no, God does not break His promises. He told me “You are leaving for U.S.A this September! I will bless you there and you will bless my people in the Philippines!”
It brought me to my knees when I reminded Him of my plans. This might be a big problem for me, but my God is greater that is living in me! I have already proven His faithfulness to me a lot of times, so there’s no reason for me not to trust Him. Lord, I trust You. I apply your blood in my visa. I believe in miracles… I trust in you, my Lord. I trust in you. I trust in you. i trust in you.
