Inspirational Nugget; Shibby de Guzman, 14
De Guzman, who shot to prominence after she was photographed protesting the lionization of late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos. She carried a megaphone and wore a cardboard sign similar to those sometimes strewn over the bodies of drug-war victims. Then, in a widely shared social-media post, she shut down critics who alleged that her fellow protesters were “brainwashed”: “We completely know and understand the injustice we are protesting against.” Now in the ninth grade, de Guzman hopes to rally even more young people to take action in the Philippines. “It’s so important that [they] know their own rights and when authorities abuse them,” she says.

Perfecting of the Saints
Ephesians 4:12, King James Version (KJV) – For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
There is a place called the place of perfection in Christ. In this realm, everything is whole, holy and righteous. Jesus said the prince of this world comes but finds nothing in Him – John 14:30
Okay, this is Jesus talking, what of you and I? We also should never forget that, as He is so are we in this life also – 1 John 4:17
This is the standard for the believer. Do we realize that what someone in the world would do that might be a normal thing, if a believer of a church goes to do the same, it becomes news, you know why?
It is because our standard is perfection which is in Christ Jesus.
Prayer
Of a truth, I know there is a realm in God I need to perfect, Holy Spirit, in the precious Name of Jesus, help me reach this realm, amen!
