A New Beginning: My First Reflection To You


Hi, my name is Roy Jr Gavarra. You can call me Bro (Kuya) Roy. I’m 28 years old and from the islands of the Philippines.

I’ve decided to share some of my reflections here, along with how God’s Word speaks to me. I know not everyone may see it the same way I do, and that’s okay. I appreciate every comment and thought, even if it challenges me, because it helps me grow.

I want to inspire and share my faith, but I’m also someone still growing, learning to seek God through His Word with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

One verse that encourages me to start this journey is Joshua 1:8-9:

“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

This reminds me that even though I am not perfect, God calls me to be strong and courageous. He promises to guide me and be with me every step of the way.

No matter what anyone thinks, I will keep sharing the Word God has given me. I may not be perfect, and some may say I don’t qualify to share Scripture, but I trust God’s guidance and want to share it with you.

Yours truly,
Bro. Roy

The Secret Place: Not Just Somewhere You Go, But Somewhere You Live

There’s a place where peace speaks louder than noise… A place where the pressure fades, the striving stops, and your soul finally breathes. For a long time, I thought that place was something I had to “get back to” when life slowed down… when I had more time… when I felt more spiritual. But if I’m being honest— I’m 28, I have a wife and a son, life is full, and sometimes it’s just noisy. And even though I know how to pray… even though I’ve experienced God before… There are seasons where I realize—I haven’t really been in that secret place. Not deeply. I know I can go deeper… but somehow, I don’t. And I think a lot of us live there. Knowing… but not fully entering. What Is the “Secret Place”? When Jesus said in Matthew 6:6, “Go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen…” I used to think it was just about finding a quiet space. And yes, it matters. But now I’m starting to see—it’s more than that. The secret place isn’t just a physical place....

Is Eating 3 Meals a Day Biblical? History, Scripture, and Modern Eating Habits

Image
Photo by Spencer Davis on Unsplash Many people today grow up believing that eating three meals a day—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—is the natural way humans have always eaten . However, history tells a different story. The idea of eating three structured meals daily developed gradually through cultural changes, work schedules, and industrialization , not through biblical command or ancient tradition. Understanding where our eating habits come from can help us reflect more deeply on how we approach food today—physically, culturally, and spiritually . The History of Eating Meals Biblical Times: Usually One or Two Meals During the time of ancient Israel, people generally ate one main meal in the evening , sometimes accompanied by a lighter meal earlier in the day. Daily life was built around work, agriculture, and daylight , so the evening meal became the primary time for eating and gathering. Food was simple and practical. Bread, grains, olives, fish, and fruits formed the basis of many ...

When We Choose to Stay: A Reflection on Ruth and Orpah

Image
Photo by Kristaps Grundsteins on Unsplash Continuing from Yesterday’s Reflection In yesterday’s reflection, we looked at how Ruth’s story began not with triumph but with loss, pain, and uncertainty. We were reminded that privilege often hides behind hardship, and that many of us fail to see what God is doing because we become focused on our own struggles. Today, I want to reflect on a chapter of this narrative that points not only to God’s unfolding plan but also to the choices that shape how we respond to God’s purposes. In the beginning of the Book of Ruth, we see two women in the same situation. They both married Naomi’s sons, and they both experienced the same loss: their husbands died. Both women faced pain, uncertainty, and a future that seemed unclear. Yet, at the end of that chapter, they made two different decisions. The Bible does not explain why Orpah chose to return home, nor why Ruth chose to stay. What Scripture does tell us is how Ruth’s faithfulness brought her into ...
