With Mrs. Carla Bonifacio (during her 29th birthday)

She is known as Rica Peralejo to most people. She is Carla Bonifacio to us. Actress, singer, host, ADMU undergrad student (AB-Lit), happy vegetarian, proudly married to Joseph Bonifacio & ultimately a follower of Jesus! I copy pasted this from her Twitter. This is how she describes herself.

Many people have seen the radical change in her life. I have witnessed how she started living for God, how she grew in her love for Jesus and how she continues to honor God in all the areas of her life.

Whenever people talk about her, they just marvel at how she is glowing with the love of God and how she exudes happiness! Everyone, including myself have been inspired by her testimony.

Carla and I were catching up the other day. And our conversation has compelled me to write this particular blog. This is what I told her:

When you really love Jesus, and when you are really living for God, you do not need to prove that you do. You do not need to strive or to try hard to prove yourself. It just shows. People will notice. And they will know that it is real. And it will be undeniable.
And ultimately it will lead for them to see that your God (our God) is real.

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
John 15:4-5
