Setting my heart right before God is the best thing that ever happened in my life. I know that God loves me but It was only a nice, intellectual concept for me. I have never let that sink in my heart but when I decided to really grasp this lovely fact it opens me up to be fully human and fully alive.
I had to let go of a relationship that did not start right with God. It felt like a mini-death, complete with a grieving process. But I had to make a choice.
A relationship is not just about "you & him" or "you & her". It's all about God being glorified in your relationship. You should not be your boyfriend's first love or the other way around. Your actions must be always pleasing and acceptable to GOD. GOD should always be the first love of your life.
When we truly embrace God’s unconditional love we are forever changed. Nothing looks the same anymore.
When we are secure in God’s love we are secure in being ourselves. Because we’ve been created and claimed by God Almighty!
..And now I am starting my journey of faith with God.. I decided to take a leap of faith and trust God with all my heart and not lean on my own understanding.
I had been there.. I was good in "pretending to be happy" but on the inside I was dying..
I once felt like I was a "hollow block". Strong, firm, and rigid on the outside but empty on the inside. And I felt like it was forever. I thought I was beyond all hope.
..but the Lord rescued me. He stood by me and strengthened me.
If It had not been for the Lord on my side where would I be..
"I am not what I ought to be. I am not what I want to be. I am not what I hope to be. But still, I am not what I used to be. And by the grace of God, I am what I am."
..And one thing I believe ..When I'm ready for the responsibility of commitment the man preserved by GOD for me will find me..
..I believe that GOD has wonderful plans for me and HE will give me the best if I remain in HIM. GOD IS AWESOME!
What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we’re called children of God! That’s who we really are. But that’s also why the world doesn’t recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he’s up to. But friends, that’s exactly who we are: children of God. And that’s only the beginning. Who knows how we’ll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we’ll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. All of us who look forward to his Coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus’ life as a model for our own. (1 John 1: 2-3, MSG)
