By: Gabriela Yareliz In the Bible, we see men and women presented with all of their flaws and beauty; in their darkest moments and in their highest points. Why so? “But seeing where they struggled and fell, where they took heart again and conquered through the grace of God, we are encouraged and led toContinue reading “Despite the Flaws”

2014
So I won’t give up; No, I won’t break down; Sooner than it seems life turns around. And I will be strong, Even if it all goes wrong; When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe; Someone’s watching over me. By: Gabriela Yareliz 2014 was a rollercoaster year. For some, it came with bigContinue reading “2014”
Monday Inspiration: December 1, 2014
[Edited after spotting typos that gave me a mini heart attack] By: Gabriela Yareliz HAPPY MONDAY! HAPPY DECEMBER! It’s the last month of 2014. Let’s make it special and different from the rest.

Pure Religion
“Pure and undefiled religion speaks for itself. It transforms the characters of all who receive it, improving their usefulness and beautifying all with which it is brought in contact…. A man’s worth is not measured by the position of responsibility that he occupies but by the Christlike spirit that he reveals. When the Saviour abidesContinue reading “Pure Religion”
The Gardens at St. Luke in the Fields, Hudson Street
By: Gabriela Yareliz One of Manhattan’s loveliest places is tucked away at 487 Hudson St. I have spent many evenings at the Gardens at St. Luke; sometimes they are empty, sometimes they are full of children playing, while the mothers and nannies sit in a circle on the grass surrounded by strollers. The guardians occasionallyContinue reading “The Gardens at St. Luke in the Fields, Hudson Street”
Not At Our Own Convenience
From Ellen G. White’s Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3 “Knowledge is not all that we need; we must follow the light. We are not left to choose for ourselves and to obey that which is agreeable to us and to disobey when it best suits our convenience. Obedience is better than sacrifice.” – {3TContinue reading “Not At Our Own Convenience”
Hold on
Because faith is not a feeling… From Ellen G. White “After Praying, Continue to Claim the Promise—After the prayer is made, if the answer is not realized immediately, do not weary of waiting and become unstable. Waver not. Cling to the promise, ‘Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.’ Like theContinue reading “Hold on”
This Month’s Picks: April 2014
By: Gabriela Yareliz April is done. The tension at school is palpable. Exams are looming in the forecast like heavy dark clouds. This month was filled with fun, laughter, some beautiful days and flowers. YouTube finally decided to do an ad campaign with its ever famous and now ubiquitous makeup artists; trees turned pink andContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: April 2014”
The fight
By: Gabriela Yareliz I have had this on my mind recently: What is life really about, if not being a reflection of God’s love, character and image? Life is a battlefield (no, not a Pat Benatar reference). As we grow in our characters with God’s power and help, we must fight our own natures andContinue reading “The fight”
Expression of Justice & Mercy
Taken from The Desire of Ages, chapter 79: “God’s love has been expressed in His justice no less than in His mercy. Justice is the foundation of His throne, and the fruit of His love. It had been Satan’s purpose to divorce mercy from truth and justice. He sought to prove that the righteousness ofContinue reading “Expression of Justice & Mercy”
