I have been thinking since I've encountered this so many times and seen it done by others.
It is easy for people to grieve with a grieving friend or cry with that person when life is miserable. They say multiple of advices and blah blah blah. BUT when things get beautiful and happy, they're gone. They just nod and say "OK" and you can never see them happy for you. That is one of the saddest things I've encountered and noticed. It's a sad truth.
Real friendship is being there when things get better for our friends even if our lives are not that great.
That made me ponder. So I give you something to ponder about now.
I'm happy and I hope a real friend will celebrate with me.
Do I sound like I'm venting? hehehe! Nope. I just want to celebrate life. Isn't that what real friendship is all about? Celebrating the ups and downs of LIFE.
Hope all is so WELL with you in GOD! OUR BEAUTIFUL GOD WHO DESERVES ALL THE GLORY FOR ALL OUR SUCCESSES IN LIFE!
ALL THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD ALONE!!! ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!!!

One of the most dangerous emotions you could have is ENVY.
Oh yeah it is a huge entry point for the enemy. It results in many other extremely awful emotions.
I'd like to share a text message that my sister sent to me earlier...
"You do not have to compete with anyone because you are not competing for anything. YOUR DESTINY IS SOLELY YOURS!" ~Pastora Zhaleen Panlilio, Destiny Ministries International
YOU ARE SO UNIQUE!!! NO ONE IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOU. GOD LOVES US ALL EQUALLY. Your blessings differ from others but that doesn't mean that the other is better than the other. Your blessings are the best. They are given from the Heart of GOD. Everything from HIM is the BEST.
Just an advice...please don't start comparing yourself, your situations, your trials, and your blessings with others in a negative way because that's when ENVY can be implanted in you by the enemy. Whether you like it or not. Learn to appreciate more and love more. You'll never know what's going to happen unless you start doing it.
A poster that is posted on the back of my door says, "IF I DON'T START NOW, WHEN WILL I START? CHANGE STARTS NOW." Of course, I'm talking about GODLY CHANGE. A change that is discerned from GOD.

Okay I'd like to share TESTIMONIES of GOD's AMAZINGNESS...
1.) I get to be a spiritual mother to my little cousin and I am really happy I could be a part of her life forever as one of her godmothers. I take pleasure and honor in this because I just LOVE little children. GLORY TO GOD ALONE FOR THIS BLESSING!
2.) I was scheduled to counsel a friend today. I have been discipling youths but then counseling is a different thing. Spiritual activities drain you physically but it can never compare to the joy you get in serving a LIVING GOD! Oh how sweet it is to serve HIM! GOD delivered a friend today and that is a start of a fresh and new beginning in her journey. It was my first time to counsel like that and I couldn't even imagine the great joy it has given me. I have noticed all the lie, curses and bondages that the enemy has implanted in her. While I was praying and I could really feel the HOLY SPIRIT moving in her, my mind keeps on uttering, "AMAZING, GOD, YOU ARE AMAZING. JUST AMAZING." I was so overwhelmed. My joy is overflowing that I never want to stop serving my KING. This is my reward - to see people draw closer to our FATHER. GOD HEALS ALL WOUNDS. I will not doubt that ever. HE healed me and HE can do it to you, as well.
3.) I thought one of my bestest friends was mad at me for some reason that I don't know. I came home tired but full of joy. I received a message from her and JOY added my heart when I've read her touching message. GOD will always make a way when it comes to friendships.
4.) Although there a few flaws left, my dad has completely stopped his vices and has come to the realization that it is all a waste. He just wants to please GOD from now on. Just so amazing!
I seal all these blessings and transformations with the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!
I am so humbled by GOD. I am just a messenger of GOD and all I can do is glorify HIM alone. IT IS ALL HIM! GOD can use you, too. Don't be afraid. Just be an empty vessel whom GOD can fill up with HIS HOLY SPIRIT. I pray for more of GOD's Wisdom upon you.
GOD HAS ALREADY GIVEN THE VICTORY. BELIEVE THE ABUNDANT LIFE THAT HAS BEEN PROMISED TO US.
John 10:10 (KJV) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Lyrics:
God is bigger than The air I breathe The world we'll leave God will save the day And all will say My glorious And all You ever do Is change the old for new People, we believe that The world is shaking With the love of God Great and glorious Let the whole earth sing Clouds are breaking Heaven's come to earth Hearts awakening Let the church bells ring My glorious (2x) Glory, glory Send Your glory

Make an impact. Make a difference. Make a ripple. Tip the scale. Be a blessing. Be different.
1.) I have a lovely and deeper relationship with my husband-to-be, Cody. I have opened more and shared more and we understand each other more. Just super amazing! GOD did it! With GOD, it is very possible to bridge differences (culture, background, upbringing, gender, race or even personality). Be willing to be changed by GOD inside and out. LOVE some more.
2.) The friend I stated at my testimony portion in my previous blogpost prior to this attended service with us. So amazing! IT'S ALL GOD! HE did it all for me. Her boyfriend sternly texted me that she should be home before 8pm. Service starts at 7pm and it usually ends at 9pm. So I was thinking of what my response would be. I was going to ignore him but then there was a nudge in me that I should be bold enough to say something true. I responded to her boyfriend's text message that he shouldn't worry because I'll bring her home. That we're not bad influence and that he should be confident that we won't party somewhere. I invited him to come with us. The simplest answer I got from him is that he would next time and that I should take care of his girlfriend because he loves her so much. Give a shout of praise unto the LORD! HE makes a way when there seems to be no way. The seal of the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST is truly powerful. I can never doubt it. Thank you for those who prayed. Now, we are praying for his boyfriend to be won for GOD. Please pray with us. Tomorrow, I have another friend to fellowship with. He is going to fly to Taiwan on the 15th. He is like my older brother and he treats me like a little sister princess. hehehe! Please pray for him, too. I desire to win him to GOD. Funny, I keep on insisting to these friends I have that we should meet (anywhere and anytime they can) and I always end up happy with GOD's ministry. It can be difficult but it is SO rewarding and it comes in million folds.
3.) I've noticed that people are so nice and friendly to me today. hehehe! I can just feel so much joy in me. Maybe that's where it's coming from and my joy is from the LORD. I'm just so happy and I have my favorite song (Can't Live A Day by Avalon) for today that I've been singing over and over. No one could ever ruin your happiness if you have joy from GOD. This day is such a wonderful favor from GOD. It's really not the material things that matter but the love you receive and give. I'll just start with worship, it was overflowing with GOD's grace. Both of my friends felt tears in their eyes. The HOLY SPIRIT moves all the time. Second, there was a birthday feast after the service. Third, everyone was happy. Fourth, we met a lady who befriended us. Fifth, a jeepney driver let us ride his jeepney for free so he could bring us to the jeepney terminal for our destination to my friend's house. And we thought there were no jeepneys anymore. Sixth, some guys greeted us goodbye for no reason. A nice tricycle driver and jeepney driver brought me safe to where I'm going with greetings, too. Another tricycle passenger was nice, too. Well, in conclusion, so many nice people you notice when your heart is overflowing with LOVE. There is really no malice, just brotherly/sisterly love to GOD's children and a great reward from GOD. Just like what our preacher shared tonight that when there's misery, there's bitterness.
Be bitter and you'll hate everyone around you. Hate is an extreme word. Just like my morning devotions was about hating evil than just petty things.
I came home a different person - a person full of love from GOD.
I have been meditating about LOVE lately. And it was amazing to sing this song for worship.
I praise GOD for the strength HE has given me today. I slept for only a few hours and now I'm still up blogging at 12:10am. hehehe! I praise GOD for all that HE has done today and all that HE is going to do. I pray for the fire to continue burning in us that we will never be complacent and lazy. Let's not only desire for a personal relationship but an intimate relationship with GOD that grows deeper each day. GOD is using you in every way HE can. Everything you say and do is for HIS ministry. If you think that it's useless, GOD thinks it's all worth the effort. Nothing goes to waste when you're serving a living GOD.
Oh my dear FATHER, I couldn't face my life tomorrow without YOUR hope in my heart I know. I CAN'T LIVE A DAY WITHOUT YOU! LORD, there's no night and there's no morning without YOUR loving arms to hold me. YOU're the heartbeat of all I do. I CAN'T LIVE A DAY WITHOUT YOU, MY ONE-AND-ONLY GOD!

Funny I was going to post a different song but then I ended up with this. hehehe! I couldn't find the song I was supposed to post. My friend and I were talking about winning our friends to GOD so I'd like to let you know that a prayer goes a long way. The desires of our hearts to win our friends are seen by GOD and HE will make a way if our resources run out. Lift them to GOD. Offer everything to GOD.
GOD knows the turning point of every friend you have and your petition/prayer is very helpful. In due time, because of your faithfulness and determination to win more souls for HIM, HE will be the ONE to bring souls to you. Old and new friends. How do I know? It is my personal testimony and I think of all my friends everyday. So maybe they get tired because they keep running in my mind. hehehe! just kidding!
There are things that are out of our control but EVERYTHING is in GOD's control.
Testimony: I have a friend in the past who I was with when I was living in sin. We were both living in sin. We went our separate ways after some time. We stopped talking to each other for some reason. After a few years, one friend told me that she became a prostitute. I don't know how to react then. I ignored that news. One day, I saw her at "my" church. I took her number. After a few months, she didn't attend services. She didn't send me text messages. Weeks ago, she texted me. She shared her problems with me. I was just sharing now about her with another Christian friend. After a few hours, she texted me. GOD IS SO AMAZING! So I invited her to service tomorrow. I'm sealing this invitation with the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!

This is going to be an interaction between you and me. I gotta ask some questions and hope you'll participate with me.
1.) How do you insert an elephant in a refrigerator with 3 moves?
2.) How do you insert a giraffe in a refrigerator with 4 moves?
3.) Tarzan called a meeting with the animals in the forest. One animal was absent. Which animal is that?
Okay gotta answer now. Type type type. hehehe! Please give me your answers through comments and I shall answer these questions after 3 days. Enjoy thinking! hehehe!
Whenever I play my iTunes, I am always stunned that some songs seem new to me and to think that I play them over and over everyday. There was this song that caught my heart the other day. I was so drowned in it that I forgot to check the title and who sang it.
My dad has been unstable with his emotions. Such a deep-rooted cause that JESUS CHRIST has already won on the Cross. Last night was one of the most tested nights we've had after his accident. Glory to GOD that through HIS Spirit, HE moved. Sometimes I wonder when this is going to end. What will happen to us. The desire of my heart is for my mom to be happy. It all comes down to one beautiful thing: IT IS FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!
I have been ministering an abused girl. Whenever I talk to her or whenever she comes to my mind, I always think of the word "JUSTICE" and Proverbs is truly helping me know more of GOD's Justice. If we cannot see justice here on earth, we can be confident that in HIS Perfect Timing, justice will still prevail. And it still comes down to one amazing thing: IT IS FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!
Cody's aunt is in a coma due to multiple diseases, a friend's uncle is diagnosed with lung cancer, a preacher won her life over cancer - different circumstances but same mission in life. I have attended an "Inner Healing and Deliverance" conference and it has given me a new level of spiritual breakthrough. Although it brought my faith to a new level, I've still learned that sicknesses were allowed by GOD. Whether a sick person gets healed or not, it still comes down to one great thing: IT IS FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!
Everything is filtered in GOD's Hands and it is indeed an honor to know that we are HIS instruments for HIS glory - whatever happens.
I'm so amazed at this email devotional. Max Lucado is certainly one of the most anointed preachers/authors I know.
by Max Lucado
What about your struggles? Is there any chance, any possibility, that you have been selected to struggle for God’s glory? Have you “been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake” (Philippians 1:29)?
Here is a clue. Do your prayers seem to be unanswered? What you request and what you receive aren’t matching up? Don’t think God is not listening. Indeed he is. He may have higher plans.
Here is another. Are people strengthened by your struggles? A friend of mine can answer yes. His cancer was consuming more than his body; it was eating away at his faith. Unanswered petitions perplexed him. Well-meaning Christians confused him. “If you have faith,” they said, “you will be healed.”
No healing came. Just more chemo, nausea, and questions. He assumed the fault was a small faith. I suggested another answer. “It’s not about you,” I told him. “Your hospital room is a showcase for your Maker. Your faith in the face of suffering cranks up the volume of God’s song.”
Oh, that you could have seen the relief on his face. To know that he hadn’t failed God and God hadn’t failed him—this made all the difference. Seeing his sickness in the scope of God’s sovereign plan gave his condition a sense of dignity. He accepted his cancer as an assignment from heaven: a missionary to the cancer ward.
A week later I saw him again. “I reflected God,” he said, smiling through a thin face, “to the nurse, the doctors, my friends. Who knows who needed to see God, but I did my best to make him seen.”
Bingo. His cancer paraded the power of Jesus down the Main Street of his world.
God will use whatever he wants to display his glory. Heavens and stars. History and nations. People and problems.
Rather than begrudge your problem, explore it. Ponder it. And most of all, use it. Use it to the glory of God.
Through your problems and mine, may God be seen.

One of my life verses...
Romans 8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
"The greater the difficulty, the more glory in surmounting it." ~Glimpses of an Invisible GOD
"When outward strength is broken, faith rests on the promises." ~Glimpses of an Invisible GOD
Lyrics:
It was in the way You came As a lowly babe That Your glory was displayed And it was in the sacrifice Of the purest life It was in Your Father’s will obeyed
chorus: The perfect Lamb that was slain And there’s the glory of Your name No other one, no other way for me to see You took my place, You are the way And there’s the glory of Your name Yes, there’s the glory of Your name
It was in Your victory, risen for the world to see That all who would believe could enter in And it is in the passionate price Now demanding all my life And beating in the chambers of my heart
chorus
And there is nothing in this world That could take the place of You That could take the place of You my Jesus And there is nothing in this life That could take the place of One life, one love One power to save us all One hope, one truth And one glory in it all One glory in it all
When you're facing any trial or whatever it is that is SO difficult, think about it. Isn't it amazing that all of our sufferings is for the glory of our KING? It is a humbling honor.

A THOUGHT TO PONDER --- "Be kind: everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." ~Glimpses of an Invisible GOD
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails..."

My URL
Maybe some of you are wondering about my URL. Maybe some are not. hehehe! Well, I believe new guests are the ones wondering. Maybe. hehehe!
I told my whole life story to a former friend who is a pastor and he called me "GOD's little miracle girl" so since then, I took it as my screen name. I only want to glorify GOD so I don't share my name in the internet. I thought it was neat so I used it but removed the "little" in there. hehehe! Since this blog is not about me, I changed my header title from "GOD's little miracle girl" to "GOD is our First Love" and decided to stick with the URL since many friends have memorized it already.
Okay...so there...one of your questions answered...hehehe!
"I want to make YOU famous, want to make YOU known. I want to tell the world about YOU, and YOU alone by giving YOU the glory of everything YOU've done for me."

Before you call, GOD will answer (Discerned Testimonial Favor)
(June 17, 2009) I got worried with my financial budget. I'm trying to fix all my finances. I am so grateful when my dear Cody volunteered to finance my other phone. I am trying to be very responsible with money and GOD provided a soul to help with GOD's text ministry. When it is in HIS plan, HE certainly has provided already. Yay! GOD IS SO GREAT! HOW GOOD IT IS TO BE LOVED BY GOD!
