God is never absent; on the contrary, he is constantly present. He will never let us down; it is our expectations of what God is and should do, as well as how God should act, that will let us down. There is no disappointment in God, according to Romans 5:5.
There are some times in life when you wonder, "Where are you God?" “How come I'm the only one here?” “What is causing these horrible things to happen?” “Lord, why me?” “Why now?” and so on.
If you believe you're the only one who has trouble answering these types of questions, know that you're not. People all around you, and even the Bible, are full of people who ask these and other types of questions. Read the stories of Job, Habakkuk, David, Ezekiel, and other biblical characters. You'll be surprised to learn that you're not the only one who has these kinds of thoughts and sensations. However, there is one thing that distinguishes those "heroes" from modern-day believers: they never conflate their personal lives with their relationship with God.
Hello
😊!!Welcome, back Dear reader! Hope You stay safe and feel
relaxed wherever you’re, glad to have you here again. In the last post, I wrote a LETTER TO MY DEAR SELF. if you’ve not read it, you
should. Today I
will be taking about THE DEEPEST TRUTH.
God's faithfulness is repeatedly affirmed in the Bible. In moments of desperation and grief, we must remember that from our current vantage point, we may not be perceiving God's good and merciful purpose.
Deepest truth I Discover from JANUARY TO JUNE
1.You must unconditionally love and accept yourself. -Unconditional self-love provides you the confidence to pursue your goals because you know that no matter what happens, you will always love yourself passionately.
2.The more hectic your life becomes, the more you require calm. -Take it easy. Take a deep breath in and out. Take a minute to do nothing. Consider meditating. When you tap into your inner stillness, everything you do will feel more peaceful, serene, and fluid.
3. Everyone is engaged in their own conflict. -It is a waste of time and energy to judge or criticize others. Show respect for their viewpoint, compassion for their plight, acceptance of who they are, and, most importantly, love.
4. Your dominating thoughts are reflected in the world. -It will be hostile if you believe the world is hostile. It will be if you feel the world is a pleasant, loving, and plentiful place.
5. Start before you feel ready -Don’t wait for the perfect moment – you have to jump and build your parachute on the way down. As the Zen proverb goes, “Leap and the net will appear.”
6. Your dominating thoughts are reflected in the world. -It will be hostile if you believe the world is hostile. It will be if you feel the world is a pleasant, loving, and plentiful place.
7. Life is overflowing with beauty and blessings -Unfortunately, we too often fail to see them, distracted by our circling thoughts or preoccupied with what we don’t have (instead of what we do).
8. Success does not bring happiness, happiness brings success -Decide to be happy now, and everything you desire will become easier to obtain.
9. Make time for your friends and loved ones - When life is busy, keeping in touch is often one of the first things we give up on. Yet as Buddha once said, friendships are not half, but all of the spiritual life.
10. We are all pieces of the one Universe -I am you; you are me, we are the ocean, we are the sky, the birds and the moon. It’s all made of the same energy. We should stop seeing ourselves as separate.
11.Enjoy the voyage because that is all there is to it. -While it's good to have dreams, we can only completely enjoy the present moment. So, although you're working toward your goals, totally embrace and enjoy today.
12. Your intention is what matters most - A heartfelt note or flower is worth more than a million-dollar gift given without any thought, love or best wishes.
13. The more you give thanks, the better things flow to you -Gratitude attracts wonderful energy, serendipity, and riches like a magnet. Giving thanks confirms that positive things exist in your life and signals to the Universe that you are ready for more.
14. You are inherently worthwhile -Your worth is not dependent on whether you have a career, partner, beautiful figure or home. You are a child of the Universe and your soul is inherently valuable.
15. Fear is the one-sided fence -If you have the courage to get through the situation you fear, you will look back and realize there was nothing to be afraid of – it was all an illusion
16. You need to replenish your soul -Take time to simply be. Lay in the grass. Watch the clouds move across the sky. Read a book. Play in the waves at the beach.
17. Worst of all, there is a waste of energy. -You're creating your own personal hell in an otherwise tranquil and beautiful present moment when you worry about what might go wrong.
18. When you want something, the Universe conspires on your behalf -Intentions and desires are powerful. Tell the Universe you’re ready, act as if the thing you want is already yours, and the Universe will arrange people, circumstances and opportunities to bring it to you.
19.Make sure you're not transferring your past into the present. -We react to situations today as a result of our past beliefs, especially those formed throughout childhood. Forgive yourself for the mistakes you've made in the past, and focus on what's going on right now.
20. Most people are capable of far greater things than they realize -We imprison ourselves with our self-limiting beliefs. Remember you are an infinite being for whom all things are possible.
21. So much can happen in a day -Wake up every morning excited about what might happen today. No two days are the same and life can change dramatically in a single moment.
22. When you follow your heart, life is effortless -When you live in alignment with your soul, everything feels easy. The right ideas and solutions come to you and everything flows.
23. Breathing deeply is undervalued. -Take a few deep breaths first thing in the morning and again throughout the day whenever you feel hurried or overwhelmed by unpleasant feelings.
24.Breathing deeply is undervalued. -Take a few deep breaths first thing in the morning and again throughout the day whenever you feel hurried or overwhelmed by unpleasant feelings.
25. Happiness is a choice -Your happiness is within your control. Understand this and it will transform your life.
JUNE OPENED MY EYES TO MANY THINGS ESPECIALLY HARD TIMES AND LOVE.
People who have been broken by heartbreak are likely to be the brightest, most loving, and well-rounded people you have ever known. Yes, life breaks the best humans in order to make the best humans. They can be fine-tuned and reassembled into a masterpiece after being shattered into fragments. True, it's the agonizing process of breaking apart and reuniting that fills their hearts and brains with a level of compassion, understanding, and profound loving wisdom that they couldn't have gotten any other way.
“Be grateful for every heartbreak . They come into your life to show you another side of yourself, and then they leave. Their goal is to shake you up, rip your ego apart a little, reveal your hurdles and addictions, break your heart open so that fresh light can enter, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have no choice but to change your life. And you are one of them.”
It wasn't until a long time after I first read it that I realized what had happened.
There isn't always a happy ending to love stories. You can fall in love with someone who doesn't answer your calls, dates your best friend, or simply doesn't share your feelings. Heartbreak won't keep you from moving on and finding new love. However, there's a chance you'll come across a few sad love stories along the way before you reach a beautiful fairy tale ending. Sorry for being so pessimistic, Dear read. However, this is correct.
Every happy love tale is certain to have some type of sadness at some point. Just keep in mind that you aren't alone in your suffering, and you aren't any less deserving of a good ending. The more painful your prior heartbreaks were, the more fulfilling genuine love may be when you discover it again.
A Reason for HARD TIME. It's truth that difficult experiences can both break and make a person.
Difficult times are like powerful storms that batter your body and psyche. It's not only that these storms keep you from going somewhere you may otherwise go. They also rip away all except the vital pieces of you that cannot be torn, allowing you to see yourself as you truly are in the present now, free of the unnecessary attachments and crutches you've been holding to.
You are here, in a genuine sense, to weather these storms, to risk your heart... to be damaged by life. And if you're injured, misled, or rejected, sit quietly with your eyes closed and recall all the happy experiences you've had, all the sweetness you've tasted, and everything you've learnt. Tell yourself how wonderful your journey has been, and then remind yourself that pain is an unavoidable part of it.
Dear Reader, In all seasons of life, your goal shouldn’t be to seek a perfect and pain-free existence, but to live an imperfect and sometimes painful one in radical amazement. To get up every morning and take a good look around in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is extraordinary in its own right. Every day is a gift. Never treat life casually. To be spiritual in any way is to be amazed in every way, even when things don’t go YOUR way.
Take Job, for instance; he was a good man. He was a trustworthy individual. Look at Chap 1:1, where he says he "fears God" and "turns away from wickedness." However, take a look at what has happened to him. Do you recall what Job said to his wife after his faith was tested, after each and every one of his children died, after he went through a severe financial crisis, after he was afflicted with boils from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head, when his wife advised him to "curse God and die"? “You speak as if you were one of the foolish women,” he replied.What? Will we receive good from God's hand, or will we not receive evil?” (Job 2:10; 2:20).
He had the ability to keep an everlasting viewpoint. Yes, he didn't have a complete understanding of the situation, but he was able to maintain his integrity and devotion to God. Despite everything, he continues to believe God. He wants to meet God and present his case to him, demonstrating how unjust everything is. He emphasizes his unwavering belief that, no matter what occurs, God will vindicate him.
Nothing will ever go wrong if we follow God, we think. Our difficulties are solved as long as we have Jesus in our lives. We believe we are capable of living in a worry-free and trouble-free environment. A Christian life, on the other hand, has no such thing as a "green zone." The unseen spiritual truth is constantly at war with our lives. Our ongoing struggle with the flesh, the devil, and the world is clearly stated in the Bible.
God never promised us a tranquil life, but he did promise us that he would never abandon us in our trials. He will always be there for us in the midst of life's trials and disappointments, guiding us through them rather than removing us from them. We live in a sinful world, and our lives are frequently impacted by the misdeeds and failures of others. Yes, it is a lifelong war, but we can rest secure that we have won the victory through Christ.Victory is unavoidable.
Finally,
We will suffer failure, adversity, and persecution on this planet, yet this life is not everything.
We are only here for a little time; we have an eternal promise of glory, where no more suffering will exist (Rev 21:3-4). And, because “we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose” (Rom 8:28), we must rely on God's promises: “Wait on the LORD; be strong in the LORD; Psalm 27:14 is a verse from the book of Psalms. He promises to be "our refuge and strength, an ever-present support in times of need."
A tough season may be used by the Lord as a stepping stone in our spiritual growth. In difficult times, we must trust in God's promises and believe that he knows what is best for us:
2 Samuel 7:28-Sovereign Lord, you are God! Your covenant is trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant.
1 Kings 8:56-"Praise be to the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses."
Psalm 33:4-For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
When you feel faithless, when you believe that God has left you, take refuge in the pages of the Bible. God's Word has stood the test of time. It has been refined in the fire; it is pure, flawless, enduring, eternal, true. Let it be your shield. Let it be your source of protection:
Proverbs 30:5-"Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him."
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE WEEK
Isaiah 40:8-"The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever."
Matthew 24:35-"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away."
QUOTE FOR THE WEEK
Don't give up hope. Face each day confidently with an awareness that the victorious Lord is on your side. Know with all assurance that God never fails. His good promises to you will come to pass.
