𝑱𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒂𝒉 29:11- For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Minsan sa buhay ng kabataan, parang ang daming tanong.
“Ano ba talaga ang plano ko?”
“Tama ba yung course ko?”
“May patutunguhan ba ’tong pinagdadaanan ko?”
May pressure sa school, expectations ng pamilya, inggit kapag nakikita mo sa social media na parang lahat sila successful na, habang ikaw parang stuck pa rin.

Sa Jeremiah 29:11, sinasabi ng Diyos na 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐬𝐢𝐲𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐬𝐚’𝐲𝐨. Hindi random ang buhay mo. Kahit feeling mo magulo ngayon bagsak sa exam, rejected sa application, heartbroken, o lost sa direction hindi ibig sabihin nun wala nang pag-asa. God sees the bigger picture. Yung akala mong delay, minsan preparation pala.

Tulad ng isang student na gustong grumaduate agad, pero kailangan munang pagdaanan ang exams at failures, ganun din sa buhay. Hindi palaging madali, pero may purpose. God’s plan is not to harm you. Kahit may sakit at hirap, hindi ka Niya iniiwan. He is shaping your character, your faith, at yung magiging future mo.

Para sa kabataan ngayon na mabilis ma-discourage at ma-compare ang sarili sa iba, tandaan mo ito: 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊 𝒎𝒐 𝒌𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒂 𝒔𝒂 𝒍𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒕, 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒈𝒂 𝒂𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒔𝒂 𝒕𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒌𝒔𝒚𝒐𝒏 𝒌𝒂 𝒌𝒂𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒂 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒊𝒚𝒐𝒔. Ang plano Niya ay puno ng hope hindi lang para bukas, kundi para sa buong buhay mo.

REMEMBER: When life feels uncertain, remember: God is sure about His plans for you.

As young people, this opportunity meant so much to us. It was not just an event we attended, but a journey that helped us grow in our faith, deepen our relationship with God, and discover our purpose as youth. Your support became a bridge that allowed us to learn, reflect, and be strengthened spiritually.

Thank you for being instruments of God’s love in our lives. Your kindness reminded us that we are supported, valued, and never alone in our journey. Because of you, we are encouraged to continue serving, loving, and living out what we have learned.

We pray that the Lord bless you abundantly in your families, your work, and every area of your lives. Thank you for being part of our story and for investing in the lives of young people like us.

We joyfully celebrated the 1st Church Building Anniversary of Balayan UMC, a true testimony of God’s grace, faithfulness, and unending provision. From the foundation of this sanctuary to the ministry it now holds, the Lord guided and blessed us every step of the way.

As we gather with humble and grateful hearts as we celebrate our Communion Service, a sacred moment where we remember Christ’s sacrifice, love, and unending grace. As one body in Christ, we come to His table to reflect, renew, and realign our hearts with His calling.
