As a Filipino American (2nd generation), one of the issues that was BIG in my life (I believe many others too-not just Filipino only!) was my self-identity. Why? I was teased becuase of my differences (culturally, socially, economically, etc..) compared to the dominant majority American race. However, I began to appreciate my cultural identity when I found my identity in Christ when I gave my life to Him-saved/born again (Romans 10:9). I was set free by the "truth"-God's Word/Bible when I found out where were the different races (Geneis 11) came from. I want to encourage you to seek God on any questions, doubts, or anything that is troubling you. I believe if God did this for me, He can do it for you!
Pagtitipon sa Panginoon-Youth on Fire!
