"Quiet strength" (2026)

How strong are you? Have you ever been asked about this?

It's quite hard to answer because how can you really tell?

Especially now that everything is uncertain, and life in reality is really challenging and hard to navigate.

Can you still handle it on your own strength? If yes, that's something admirable! You are built to be strong and courageous!

But if no, you are not alone.

Because if you'll ask me? Yes, I was weak and soft-hearted.
I tried to look strong before — pretending until I was close to the end of myself.

Until I discovered something important and everything changed...

I don't need to pretend or try to please others.
I've learned to be genuinely strong. Because...

Let me share with you: Yes, we need to be strong and resilient to survive, to grow, and to live life.

But you know what's the beautiful truth?

Real strength doesn't come from us. The true source of strength is from God. Yes! He is the source!

We are limited - and that's okay. Because we have a limitless GOD!
As you believe, surrender, and trust Him with everything in you,
He’s got you!

You don't have to stand alone on the battlefield.
You don't have to cry alone in private.
You don't have to pretend that everything's okay.
You don't have to be strong always.

You don't have to.

Because God is here! He is alive! You are no longer alone!

"The Bible is filled with assurances that true strength and endurance do not come from our own human limits, but from relying on God." (ctto)

These are a few great verses to remind you of who God is and how powerful His promises are.

Read :
Isaiah 40:29-31: "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak... those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Psalm 28:7: "The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him."

Isaiah 41:10: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

I love you with the love of the Lord 🤍🤍🤍

"Finding."

Background:

Have you tried to find the kind of love that fulfills your soul?

To all the people you've met along the way
To all the people who are close to you
To all the people you thought would always be there,

And lastly...To all the guys you loved before

Did you find it with them?

That's an interesting story.

Let me tell you my thing

I searched high and low but failed.
I gave it my part, but it wasn't the right fit.
I lost my way searching for something that wasn't for me.

I've come to realize that no matter what I do,
I just can't find it from anyone.

That kind of love can only be found in Him.
Jesus Christ.

I've found my true love in Him.

The perfect love that was destined for me.

My dear Lord Jesus
Muchas Gracias

"Rainbow: A Life Together"

Diary:

At first, I had a different plan, but things got messy haha. It turns out to be abstract. Then I remembered it shouldn't stay like that; I need to go back to the plan, and it works.

It’s a beautiful illustration of love growing stronger through challenges, trusting that God is guiding and writing their story with purpose.

"Love built on prayer lasts longer." —Dorotea

"The rainbow belongs to God, reminding both God and humanity of His unconditional promise."

"A date night with Him."

Diary:

How romantic and sweet it is to imagine a night with the love of your life? This view seems like a daydream to me as a former hopeless romantic. It's like you're in the magical place with your special someone. It's a teenage dream! Who will agree?!

But in the deeper sense, this painting shows peaceful, priceless moments and a safe space to experience.

"A date night with Him" was created from the assurance and love I experience from the Lord. I was not deserving or worthy to be in that place. But that's the beauty of being with God. You are loved. You are accepted. You are welcome in His arms.

Descriptions & meaning:

The night (the dark blue sky) where the place is empty and silence is all you can hear. - That's a perfect time for you to experience His presence.

The stars (yellow strikes) symbolize the promises of God.

The sea (the colorful water) means the blessings and provision from Him. (It looks like there are fishes and other sea creatures.)

The small boat (battle/ situation/ position/ circumstances) in that place you are not alone.

The girl (focusing on Him) shows complete trust and dependence.

And Him. 🤍 (No words can describe how beautiful He is.)

My prayer:

"Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long."
- Psalm 25:4-5

And if you see this post. I want to ask you.

"Do you also want to experience this kind of love?"

A love that brings you peace and assurance?
A love that teaches you to trust and believe in greater things?
A love that saves you from pain and heartaches?
A love that is sure and perfect?
And a love that accepts you and forgives you for every wrong/shameful thing you've done.

And when you accept His great love for you, When you accept Him in your life?(The first or second/third or fourth time, whatever it is)

You don't need to be holy, perfect, or blameless to be loved.
In Jesus Christ, love comes first.

Just come as you are and everything will follows. (Change lives/transformation/ healing, etc.)

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16

"For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The Lord bestows grace and favor and honor;
No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly."

"O Lord of hosts, How blessed and greatly favored is the man who trusts in You [believing in You, relying on You, and committing himself to You with confident hope and expectation]."

- Psalm 84:11-12 (AMP)

"Aiming."

Background:

What do you aim for?

Once in a while, people dream of fancy and extravagant things.
Some individuals aim for something bigger and better to happen in their lives.

There are those who work hard to reach the top.
Some use their minds to lift themselves up.
Others try their luck and succeed.
A few give up on their dreams.

Did you ever wonder…
What reason do they have?
What motivates them to go further?
What drives them to keep going?

Interesting? Yes.

How about you? What do you aim for?

The world often says:

Get it, girl!
Dream high!
Keep soaring!
Follow your heart!
Choose your dream!

And then, you find yourself succeed?

But what if, after success—after beauty, fame, riches, and glory—Everything ends or slowly fades away?

Where do you see yourself then?
What have you gained?
Do you still find yourself happy?

I myself am guilty of this, I was young and idealistic.

I thought all the things in this world would make my heart feel fulfilled.
I thought having it all would heal the broken pieces of me.
I thought achieving these fancy things was the most essential part of life.
I thought pleasing people would make them love me.
I thought the world revolves around me.

I'm funny! I know - Maybe I watched too much fantasy movies.

I realized that the most beautiful and important thing is

"Having a relationship with God."

"Having a personal connection with Him is what we truly need."

"The world may blind you - but Jesus will open your eyes to the truth."

There is nothing wrong with aiming for these things.
But you must know the purpose behind why you are doing them.

Let Jesus be with you.
Open your heart to Him and receive His love and teachings.

As you navigate this life with Him,
He will guide and protect you.

"He was there."

Diary:

Do you feel lonely right now? Or are you used to it like it's a normal thing because of this and that? I understand.

"Loneliness is a feeling of sadness due to a perceived lack of companionship, friendship, or any social bond or relationship. Sometimes people have friends, but still feel lonely—most often because they don't feel fully seen or understood."

This painting was inspired from personal experience.
I know a lot of people are experiencing loneliness or much worse.
I see you. Hugs! 🤍

And to tell you the truth: He sees you.

And I pray to God that He will heal all those parts of you that no one knows or understands. Come and ask God for help. Believe and trust that God is with you. You are not alone.

Come to Jesus. 🤍

Descriptions/meaning:

The mountains: Boundaries and walls to keep oneself from others. Her protection from the world.
The colorful fields: the thoughts of a person. Her inner thoughts/world.
The woman: her facial expression (surprise that "He was there")
The grass but looks like a sea: where she was slowly drowning herself from her suffering but she's safe now. Thank God 🤍
The beautiful sky: Read Jeremiah 29:11✨

notes:
I suffered for years... I always wondered why God never gave me "One" person whom I can call whenever I need them the most.

One person who will wipe my tears, hug me to ease the sadness, and be with me when I can't do it on my own. I asked God before, "Why am I alone?"

I pitied myself, I questioned my worth, I hated myself sometimes for the things I lack. I sometimes forget to appreciate what I have. And a lot of times I used to expect that I will have someone whenever I get close to a few people, but in the end... I got disappointed because I dreamed too much and was sad for a while.

Until I accepted that it's my reality. I chose to be alone. I chose to enjoy my own company. I love that I am strong enough to not depend on anyone else. People wonder why I'm like that, but I never tried to explain. I'm normal. hahaha!

I was the "comfort person" for the few people I'm close with. I care for them deeply and sincerely. I was okay with that. I thought I was completely healed, but the truth is, I still desire it — it’s gripping my heart. And He knows it.

God knows what's happening in me. (even the deepest thoughts.)

Until one morning came, (quite time)

He made me realize that I was never alone.
And the truth is: that "One person" I needed, desired to be with, and longed for years to have was Him.

All along I didn't realize that it was Him. I cried so hard and I experienced overflowing joy in my heart. I am healed.

Whenever I come to God, He doesn't reject me — He embraces me. He restores, heals, and saves me.

So I encourage you, if you're reading this: Please know that you're not alone.
"I am with you." — God.

Come to Jesus. 🤍🤍🤍

"Why, my soul, are you downcast? ...Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him". - Psalm 42:11

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- Romans 8:38-39

I love you with the Love of the Lord. 🤍

"Dream again."

There are dreams we hope will happen. I personally have dreams too — a lot of them!

But I've learned that some dreams aren't meant to happen. It was sad and a bit painful, especially when you really enjoy it and look forward to it happening in the future.

But every failure, mistake, and pain has a purpose. To teach us? Maybe for our own good? Maybe because you were created for something better? Or maybe because you were meant for a greater purpose. No matter why it turned out different from what you expected, it will be okay.

Dream again! But this time, dream with the Lord — because when you surrender your dreams to Him, expect that God will be with you. Doors will open for you. New people will help you. Greater opportunities will chase you. And the peace of God will overflow in your heart.

Read Jeremiah 29:11-13

I love you with the love of the Lord! 🤍❤️‍🩹
