When you believe right, you will live right. That is the message I got from Pastor Joseph Prince. That was the time I am seeking God with my inner most being.

Another video that influenced me is the motivational video of Steve Harvey. He said that his God forgives and his God’s way is to succeed and be victorious.
I was born in a conservative church where condemnation and guilt are always part of the sermon. It gives heaviness on my being as I grow and my life becomes lonely. I experienced worrisome thoughts, fear, and anxiety. Those negative emotion cripple to my being not to attain the excellence in my life.
Those teaching are totally different from what Jesus is imparting when He walked on this planet 2000 years ago.
Then I made a decision to walk my own path and read the Bible.
When I first read the Bible, thoughts and feeling of fear that God will punish me with all the mistakes, wrong doing, and wrong thinking arise. But I found out that was all the lies from the evil one.
I still pushed myself to read and get the inner core of the Bible. Then I am so amazed of what I found. Love is the highest, greatest, and most powerful emotion in the world. It forgives sins, it heals, it conquers everything and it uplifts spirit. That is who God is! And that is the revelation I got from God. He confirms to me in Psalm 121 NKJV that my help comes from Him.
Psalm 121
1I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.5 The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.7 The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
With the truth I found with God who created the heavens and the Earth, I know and I believe how good and loving God is. He uplifts me when I am down. His love towards me is unconditional. He is so gracious in which when I pray for a lemon, He will give me lemonade juice. He always exceeds what I need and wants. That really amazes me of who God is.
If you are in a stage of confusion about your belief in God, I think the best thing you do is to seek God. You can find Him and God will show you His majesty and amazing things you never know. God being always in truth will help you to live the best life you wanted to achieve.
Hope this article will give you the light you are seeking. As this article ends, I want to give you another Bible verse to meditate and uplift your spirit to achieve the life you wanted to reach.
3 John 1:2
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
