God wants YOU to be happy. In the 1st place, He is a happy God. And the Bible says , “as he is so also are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). Therefore we are happy like Him. However, because He is a gentleman and He has given us free will, God will not force you to be happy. So, choose to be happy. Happiness is a choice. We make the choice to rejoice! Just as no one or nothing can make you happy, no one and nothing can make you UNhappy, either. We cannot say we are happy when we are with the ones we love. We actually CHOOSE to be happy in that moment. We can also CHOOSE to be unhappy in that moment. Philippians 4:4 says, “Rejoice in the Lord always.” Take delight. Make merry. It is a proactive action.

There’s a big difference between KNOWING ABOUT GOD and KNOWING GOD IN A PERSONAL WAY. We all long for intimacy or closeness. And we have this tendency to search for it in the wrong places. What we need most of all is to develop intimacy with the right person---God. Read more: https://www.facebook.com/notes/sfcc-champion/experience-god/10207147049626261

It’s not what you know; it’s who you know. Sometimes, this world does not honor educational attainment, career achievements, or social status. More often than not, it only recognizes who you are connected to. Connections pave the way to opportunities like scholarships, a slot in a particular job, and even a promotion. Yes, this seems unfair. But this world is not designed for fair. And come to think of it, when it comes to grace, we do not get what we really deserve. Psalm 103:10 says, “He does not treat us as our sins deserve, or pay us back for our wrongs.” Instead of punishment, He gives us mercy. Jesus, Who is grace personified, took the punishment for us instead. Therefore, it is good to get to know Jesus. Know that we have good connections with Him. From Him comes an endless supply of undeserved favor and blessings. 2 Pet. 3:18 says, ‘Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord.” That is the most important thing that He wants from us. He wants a relationship. Th

To remember means “to recapture the past”, “to come back to memories”, “to think about”, “to behold past events in the mind”. On the other hand, exploit means “a notable achievement, feat, or work”. Remembering is a mental activity. All that happens in life becomes part of the memory. It is a very simple task of the brain but it has a tremendous effect in the quality of your life. Never underestimate the power of remembering. What you frequently remember (keep on thinking about or focusing your mind on) affects the quality of your living. The quality of your thinking leads you to right living. The good news is that we can control our minds. God has given us free will – the POWER TO MAKE A CHOICE. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “… God has given us the spirit of power, love, and self-control.” We have a will to surrender our soul: our emotions, our will, and our minds (bad memories) to God, so we can become champ

Daniel was a good role model. He was a Jew and at that time, taken captive by the Babylonians. But despite his situation, Daniel still stood out and was still chosen as a scholar. This is due to the fact that despite his being a captive and being under the decrees of a different leadership, he never forgot his God. In everything he did, he acknowledged the One True God.

In Acts 9:5 Saul said, “Who are you, Lord?” Have you asked that same question yourself? This God is not a generic God. He is not common. He is the One True God. There are so many Bible scriptures that support that fact. John 17:3 says, “...the only true and real God.” Isaiah 43:10 says, “Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.” Isaiah 44:6 says, “I am at the beginning and will be at the end. There is no God except for Me.” Read more: https://www.facebook.com/notes/sfcc-champion/undefeatable-god/10206928050311415?utm_source=San+Fernando+Christian+Community&utm_campaign=a853b18ecf-SFCC_Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_2f32ef55eb-a853b18ecf-

Prov. 3:5,6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not. In all your ways be mindful of him and he will make straight your paths.” We all know that grace is the undeserved, unmerited favor of God. Other than that, grace is the power of God available to meet our needs without any cost to us. How do we avail of and enjoy the gift of grace? First, we must TRUST insted of trying.

I'm pretty sure everyone has thought about that question at one point. But looking closely, we realize that no one is good, except God. Romans 3:10 says, "There is no one who is good; not one." Still not convinced? How about Isaiah 64:6: "We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags." So maybe our question should be, "Why do good things happen to bad people (like me)?"
