Here are some lessons we can take from the inspiring story of Pastor Jasper Ivan Iturriaga :
1. "If the law of God feels like prison, sometimes sin feels like freedom. But I realized growing up that when you love God, duty becomes a delight and sacrifice is a pleasure."
2. "There's this author, one of my favourite authors said, 'Grace is an attribute given to undeserving human beings. We do not seek for grace, but grace was sent in search for us.'"
3. "The enemy of best is good. Sometimes the devil gives you good things so you avoid the best things in life."
4. "I realized peace is not a geographical location. It's not a place. Peace is doing what God wants you to do."
5. "If you're confused with your calling, just ask yourself a question. Ask yourself what breaks your heart, because usually what breaks your heart is what God has called you to do."
6. "I think we're always waiting for a time where if it's comfortable, but if God called you to do something and if you wait for the most convenient time, the most convenient time will never come. You just have to do it."
7. "Don't find happiness. Find purpose."
8. "I realized that instead of cursing the darkness, we should light the candle. And I want to empower young people - your talent, you can use it to better the community around you."
9. "There will come a time in your life or you will reach a certain point in your life where you will question everything that you know, everything that was taught to you, everything that you're influenced with. Is this really me? Or is it just because these information were passed on to me? And then you will find out the truth for yourself."
