PERFECT WORDS FOR TODAY 🙏 - MARTIN LUTHER KING -

Recovery is a process of growth.

Behold! says the LORD.

Week have passed after we broke up. Up to this day, I’m still hurt and in so much regret because of the most immature decision I have made in my life, calling off the wedding because of nonsense fight. But even I’m in so much despair right now, nothing will change. He became tired understanding me. If I can turn back time, If only I can go back on that night, I would not sent message and call off the wedding. If only! But i can’t anymore. HE IS GONE! He started to cancel our wedding suppliers while ignoring all my calls and text. He was badly hurt. He us totally in anger that no one can change his mind right now. ONLY GOD CAN! In this season of darkness, I don’t have ways to but to rely on GOD alone, begging in prayer to turn things to the way I wanted to be, but His word is this  “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord” (Isaiah 55:8). Though I did everything I could and l have called all our accountable persons, but nothing happened. This makes me realized all my ungodly character that I have shown to him, the impulsive decisions and immature actions. As I am thinking all of the days were together or away and giving him hard to, not asking if he was okay and focus on all of my needs and myself, - I CANNOT FORGIVE MYSELF.  But then again GOD is so compassionate that even He knew all the details of the story He wanted you to tell it by your mouth, confess it, repent and He will forgive you. 

 Rather you have burdened Me with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.25 “I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake,And I will not remember your sins - Isaiah 43:24-25 NASB

How comforting is to be ONE OF HIS. I praise GOD his faithfulness that even I am not, He remains the same. My situation now is still the same but, I AM INCREASING MY FAITH -- that God works all things together for good of those who loved him. I am also a firm believer of If it God’s will it will happen, if it’s not His will, he has a better plan. Holding on to this promise of God -- Behold, the former things have come to pass, Now I declare new things, before spring forth I will tell you of them- Isaiah 42:9, I am the Lord your God who teaches you for your benefit, who leads you to the way you should go, and for these promises and word of God I am fully confident of the assurance that God has for me.

A gentle reminder that you did well this year. You met new people, learned new things and felt new feelings—appreciation and comfort. You did so many things that made you scared. You picked yourself up off the floor after feeling completely defeated or heartbroken. There were some really tough nights but you survived them all. You made people happy just by existing.

When you were in the midst of the hurting season, you thought you wouldn’t make it. A hundred times you told yourself you couldn’t make it. But you did. You found beauty and purpose in it. And there’s Someone working behind the scenes for Your good. You have more wisdom and strength now, because of the never-ending grace He gives & Jesus has never left your side, not even once. I pray that you remain rooted in God’s love for you, I pray we use the grace given to us to glorify our Maker. :)

And don’t think so lowly of yourself because Jesus paid the price so that you would recognize yourself as His beloved, don’t sell yourself short for someone when God can give you the best that He has in store for you. Gotta trust His proper timing for everything. :)

“ TRUST GOD ” …..

[godlywoman]

During your test of faith, how you respond in a crisis will display to the world what you believe about God.

“Sacred Wandering” Dana Arcuri (via godlywoman)

[faithful-forever]

TO THE WOMAN OF GOD:

Be an ESTHER, bold and courageous enough to stand for the truth, to voice your opinion and fight for the good of others, even when it means to sacrifice yourself. If God has put you in a position, it is for a purpose. Never be afraid to heed that inner voice.

Be a RUTH, loyal in all your relationships, walk the extra mile and don’t quit when things get tough. Someday, you’ll see why it was all worth the effort.

Be a LYDIA, let your homes be open, let your hands be generous, let your hearts be big enough to help anyone in need. Joy is greatest when shared.

Be a HANNAH, never cease to pray. It will never be in vain.

Be a MARY, humble and submissive. You don’t have to be great for God to use you, you just need to obey.

Be a DORCAS, use your talents, however small it may seem to bring a smile on someone’s face. You’ll never know how much it can mean to someone.

Be an ABIGAIL, remember how each decision can turn your life around for good or bad. Be wise.

Be an ELIZABETH, never doubt what God can do. He is the God of many miracles.

Be a MARY MAGDALENE, never let your mistakes and judgments of other people stop you from experiencing the joy of Jehovah.

Be a REBEKAH, never forget that true beauty lies within. Draw all your loved ones closer to God through your Christ-like character.

Lastly be a SARAH, age doesn’t matter. Trust & believe that all things are possible with God according to His time.

“She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” - Proverbs 31:25

The beauty of testing is to know where you need help.

When we fail, we always beat ourselves in the thoughts of not being good enough and worthy to be called His child, and sometimes the lies of the evil one can destroy the faith of a limping child.

I do get discouraged when i fail at some areas in my life, i'm always asking "Am i really a Christian?" but the fact that i'm questioning myself instead of soothing my conscience really helps me a lot to fix the root of my failure.

Testing is not meant to destroy you, but to show you the things you need to see. To show you what is wrong, to show you where you are heading. It's to take off the mask that is blinding you and open your eyes to the realities of who you are.

Testing is simply done to show if your house can withstand any storm, for you to know what to fix and to make you even better than before.

And when it is done, you can now head to the next chapter that God wants you to take.

Turning Point...

I got engaged 2 months ago. And being an engaged woman there’s a lot of things to prepare, not only wedding preparation but the preparation on Marriage as well. As wedding will happen only for a day but marriage is forever. My fiance and I are in LDR situation. Since we started our relationship, we used to have this set up, feels like we will stay in this situation forever. If you longs for that person it’s really hard to do and accept things. We come to our huge fight ever, anger escalate on both side, until I call off the wedding, left in group chat for wedding preps and told him I am breaking up with him.  How immature my ways to resolve the issue. I am so convicted and ashamed for what I did. Say sorry to him and He immediate forgive me, ( as He is a Man of following everything in the bible) but all the filthy words I have thrown to him, i cannot revert it anymore. I was so sorry but I cannot revert everything I have said. 

This is the turning point of our relationship and how I treat my fiance. He told me that our fight gave him revelation, I am so terrify that he will cancelled the wedding, because of the hurt that I gave to him, the bad character I’ve showed to him, but instead of doing that, He carried me going back to Jesus, of how God loves and His ways of showing it. 1 Corin 10:13 MSG version, I was so embarrassed,but I am being reminded for what I did, We have a good God, I have a good husband to be. Before I wasn’t really understand why He should control our relationship, why I need to wait on his decision if we have to decide on certain thing,why he is superior than me in our relationship. But He told, that is How GOD designed the marriage, and Now I understand that, Women (specifically me) has a high emotional tendencies than men, that we women usually decide based on how we feel or our emotion, we get easily offended if it comes to equality ( I understand most of us our grown independent). Disclaimer, not saying all of women, but this is the reality and truth. I remember one pastor said, Submission to you husband is never about you,or how you feel about it, IT IS ABOUT GOD! if God tells you to do so, you don’t need to question you just need to obey. Same in any relationship, IT IS ALL ABOUT GOD. Not the two of you.

Now, my fiance sent message to me to give him time to digest everything that happened, but he told me nothing will change. I will still marry you, and I mean it! He said; I cried and repent to God. Surrender all my uncertainties and allowing God to fill the void (shame and guilt) on what I have did to my fiance.
