It's me, Yel Gragasin

Happy New Year, everyone!! ✨🤍

This is the last day before 2023 comes.
As I think that another year is about to end, I remembered a lot.

Those times that I was so happy.
Those times that I was challenged and motivated.
Those times where I have to adjust.
Those times I became silent.
Those times where I almost gave up.
Those times I cried.
Those deep sighs.
Those smiles I gave and received.
The people I met.
The people I've hurt and hurted me as well.
My failures and mistakes.
God's faithfulness and unfailing love.
The problems I faced.
The tests that became testimonies...

Those are just few from all the experiences I had this year 2022.

And I know, a lot of NEW things will come this upcoming year.
New learnings, opportunities and chances.
New challenges and trials.

But, I will not be afraid, for the Lord is with me. (Psalms 16:8)

I might had a broken and discouraged heart this year because of the storms I faced, but I'm gonna finish it with a strong heart and use it to become better, stronger and braver.

So....

Thank you, 2022!
And...
Hello to a BETTER, STRONGER AND BRAVER ME this 2023! 🤍✨

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. "(2 Timothy 4:7)
..and I'm gonna keep going and going by God's sufficient grace 🌱

"nak kamusta?"
"Im always praying for you nak"
"Kaya mo yan nak, kasama natin si Lord"
"Be strong, have faith nak"
"Tara sa discipleship nak!"
"Andito lang ako para sayo nak, praying for you"
"Tara kain tayo?"
"Pagpray mo mabuti nak"

Ilan lang yan sa linyahan ni mentor. 🥺
Mga linya na di sila nagsasawang sabihin sa mga disciple na pinagkatiwala ni Lord...

Kapag may problema ka, lagi silang handang makinig at magbigay ng payo. Lagi silang nandyan para damayan and maging sandalan mo.

Napaka-blessed mo sa mentor mo 🥺🥰
Siya/sila yung taong binigay ni Lord para mas lalo tayong mag-mature sa faith at journey mo kay Lord.

Minsan natatawag natin silang "KJ", "PAKIELAMERA" etc hehe
Pero kung iisipin, sila talaga instrument ni Lord para mai-correct ang heart at character natin, ma-stretch ang faith natin at mas mag-grow tayo in serving God.

Huwag ma-hurt sa rebukes at corrections nila, dahil para yan sa ikalalago mo at dahil mahal ka ng mentor mo. ❤️

Kaya tara, appreciate natin sila! ❤️❤️

Hindi lang sila ang magp-pray para satin, tayo din, ipagp-pray natin sila lagi! ✨

Salamat mentor. Salamat nay/tay. Salamat pastor. 🥺❤️❤️
Iloveyou po! 🥰

Way back 2013, I met God.
I experienced His love. Known His wonderful promises.
Glorious things happened.

And....now, Hello 2021!
It's been 8 years...and counting!
Whenever I think of it, I am amazed of how God made me strong and how He helped me to become who I am today.

I was able to share the gospel to people.
I was able to use my talents for His Glory.
I was able to form and establish disciples.
I was able to bring my family to church.
I was able to overcome huge problems through faith.

Nah, let me rephrase that..

In fact, I was really not able.
HE ENABLED ME.
It was all because of Him.

Serving God is never easy because it requires COMMITMENT.
Being committed is holding on even if it is hard, even if it hurts.
Many times I failed God. Many times I almost give up.

But knowing how God loved me despite of all my flaws? Despite of my past mistakes? Despite of everything I've done?

No matter how hard it was..and it is.
I always choose to COMMIT AGAIN. WITH ALL I AM.

Strongly believing the He is always faithful and just to forgive, accept and restore us.

It's never too late.
Come to God. Run to God

Commit your life again unto Him.
With all your heart.
With all you are.

This time, let us be committed more than ever before.

Pinatawad. Minahal. Tinanggap.

❤️✨

DIRECT YOUR HEART TO THE LORD
(1 Samuel 7:3)

Hanggat hindi si Lord ang direksyon ng puso mo, tiyak na ligaw ito.

Hanggat hindi si Lord ang tinitibok ng puso mo, tiyak na broken-hearted ka.

Ibalik mo kay Lord ang puso mo, magkakaroon ng tunay na saya ang buhay mo.

Desiring for miracles?

Kapatid, kailangan mo ang power ni Lord! 🔥

"I was 14 years old back then when I was first filled by the Holy Spirit, dun nagsimulang kumapal and mukha ko in sharing Christ to people."

-Yel Gragasin, 2021

Nahihiya? May doubts in sharing God's great love?
Kapatid, kailangan mo ang Holy Spirit.
Be filled.

Then you'll see yourself boldly saying, "I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, LORD"

Let me remind you how BIG and GREAT our God is!
He never lost a battle and He never will.

Keep trusting, dear.

Your faith MAKES DIFFERENCE.
Let your faith be beyond REASON but always be driven by God's CONVICTION!

🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

...and it was deeper than any love I know. It completed the empty space in my heart. His love became louder than any voice of this world.

The search is over, GOD'S LOVE is the ultimate ESSENTIAL you must have and encounter. ♥

📷🍉🍉

From "I HOPE" to "I BELIEVE".

Faith is believing that you have already received what you are praying for.
So don't just hope for it, have faith in it!

Then, you'll see yourself unlocking God's miracles upon your life, TODAY.

FAITH IS NOW! RECEIVE IT NOW!

To whom will you extend an invitation to know Jesus better?

Let's activate our faith! 🔓

Your mountains 🏔️? It may be your problems in family, relationships or financial aspect.

My dear, unlock the great faith inside of you.
Through that great faith, God will bring you to the top of the mountain. With God, there will be nothing you can't overcome 🔥

Who would have imagine that God can use someone who wasn't deserving and worthy?

Truly, God turns us from nothing into something.

Thank You for everything.

God says:

You are forgiven.
You are redeemed.
You have been set free.

Now claim it! 🙌🏻

2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"

Oh, how loved you are 🥺

Para sa mga taong laging nandyan para sakin.
Sa mga kaibigan, pamilya, mentor, disciples, churchmates...na isa sa mga dahilan bakit maligaya ang damdamin.

THANK YOU HA?
We may not chat or talk all the time, I know deep in my heart that you guys are always there for me, loving me, and praying for me..

Thank you sayo.
Thank You lalo kay Lord kasi nakilala ko kayo.

Have you thanked God for the people you have around you?
Have you thanked those people who loves and stays with you no matter what you are going through?

Isang pa-thank you naman dyan para sakanila. Mention mo na sila! 🤗🥰

Let His glory shine upon us!
🥰✨

...and You lead me to the Cross ✨💕
