Book Cover & Preview Text
In the midst of all this, I began to develop more faith in God’s provisions for me.. Sometimes, you have to go through things to see how God is taking you through. (Another example of how God was speaking and confirming things so directly through P. Jose was that I was coming to this idea and writing it down in my notebook when he started his sermon with exactly the same thought!

When you go through a lot of difficulties and heartaches, you begin to question why we have life at all- why are we here? It is such a struggle. But when I have put that question to God, it seemed He was saying, “I made you because I want to have a love relationship with you.” It is not our trying to do good works or our witnessing to others, but an intimate relationship with the One who created us. It is His desire to be with us for eternity, but that eternal life begins here. He wants to communicate with us through His Word, through His still small voice in our minds, through circumstances, through other people. He is a jealous God and does not want anything before Him. We are to use our gifts that He has given us here for His glory, but that is not His first priority. We are to witness to others to show them that God wants the same relationship with them.
