A Faithful God

ANGELI PANGILINAN-VALENCIANO

“He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:24

My life in showbiz has been quite a journey. It marks my 44th year in the entertainment industry and I have found that without God and His Word, I would never have found my way back when I lost my way, making detours here and there.

Like many, the pandemic brought me to some form of depression, and I asked the Lord some tough questions. We have a holy & wise God & really, we don’t know what beautiful endings He has prepared for ashes-to-beauty situations. We only feel the ashes, the pain, the loss, and the sadness. But He is a faithful God & He sees the bigger picture, so we must always try to do the same.

Looking beyond the pain is a huge & great leap forward because oftentimes we wallow in the grief or swim in the mud. Standing up knowing God is faithful to His promises is not an easy thing. But He will provide a way out of the mess when we allow Him to do just that by simply trusting Him. Just do it.
