`*.¸.*✻ღϠ₡ღ "The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, does not matter. The possibility is always there." ¸.♥ ~Monica Baldwin~ |
Happiness/contentment doesn't come from getting something we don't have,
but by recognising and appreciating what we do have.
When we end the struggle to make everything around us perfect,
life settles into an enjoyable state of rest, gratitude and content.

Regardless of whatever you are going through,
have faith; make hope your sanctuary.
Nothing will last forever and at the end,
whatever happens to us is small stuff.
What we are experiencing
is part of what we need in order to die to this life, in order to be released into the life beyond.
There is no other way to grow or learn to let Jesus live in us
but by experiencing loss, so we will want what is lasting... Remember... ✫¸¸.·´¯`✫

God's ways are so above ours. He sees the whole parade, from beginning to end,
while we can only see one small portion.
There are many things that we will never know or understand while on this earth,
so we must have faith in who He is and take Him at His word
and trust Him for the things we don't yet understand.

"The main danger of misplaced dependence is that it can border on idolatry/worship.
If you let your basic well-being depend on another person's behavior,
you elevate that one to a position that only I should occupy.
This is destructive- because people are imperfect and unpredictable,
your life may come to resemble a roller-coaster ride: subject to the whims and moods of another person.
Even worse, your intimacy with Me will be hindered by your preoccupation with someone else.
I deserve first place in your heart."

~Gigi Galluzzo~✿´´¯`•.¸⁀°♡
What do we see when in the dark? Nothing. That's why it feels so very dark.
So what eyes can we use?
The only eyes we have in the dark are the ones God can grant us..
so then we will see how He would want us to see,
That's why He will allow us to be in a dark place, so we will HAVE to find His eyes,
so we find Him and His heaven.
#What light then will begin to shine, -- only God's light,
because His light, is the only light that can shine in the dark.

I look behind me and You’re there, then up ahead and You’re there, too--
Your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful. I can’t take it all in!
Is there any-place I can go to avoid Your Spirit, to be out of your sight?
If I climb to the sky, You’re there! If I go underground, You’re there!
If I flew on morning’s wings to the far western horizon,
You’d find me in a minute— You’re already there waiting!
Then I said to myself, “Oh, He even sees me in the dark!
At night I’m immersed in the light!” It’s a fact: darkness isn't dark to you;
night and day, darkness and light, they’re all the same to you.-Psalm 139:6-12 —

A man turned to his doctor, as he was leaving the room after paying a visit, and said,
"Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.”
Very quietly the doctor said, "I don't know."
"You don't know?" the man said. "You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"
The doctor was holding the handle of the door,
on the other side of which came a sound of scratching and whining.
As he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with
an eager show of gladness. Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog?
He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside.
He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear."
"I know little of what is on the other side of death," the doctor continued,
"but I do know one thing: I know my Master is there, and that is enough.
And when the door opens, I shall pass through with no fear, but with gladness.”

THIS TOO SHALL PASS
♥ If I can endure for this minute Whatever is happening to me, No matter how heavy my heart is Or how dark the moment may be If I can remain calm and quiet With all the world crashing about me, Secure in the knowledge God loves me When everyone else seems to doubt me If I can but keep on believing What I know in my heart to be true, That darkness will fade with the morning And that this will pass away, too- Then nothing in life can defeat me For as long as this knowledge remains I can suffer whatever is happening For I know God will break all of the chains That are binding me tight in the darkness And trying to fill me with fear- For there is no night without dawning And I know that my morning is near. ~Helen Steiner Rice~ |

PRIDE -what is it?
A man's pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor. Proverbs 29:23
Pride is the great enemy. Pride is an overly high opinion of self.
It motivates us to do things that we may not realise at first,
but it hinders us from doing what brings glory to God.
Pride influenced Adam and Eve to try to become like God (Gen. 3:5).
Pride motivated Cain to murder his brother (Gen. 4:5).
Pride provoked Joseph’s brothers to sell him into slavery (Gen. 37:8).
Pride caused King Saul to resent David so deeply that he tried to murder him (1 Sam. 18:8).
Pride led King Hezekiah to foolishly reveal his nation’s wealth to his enemies (Isa. 39:2).
Pride was at the root of the Pharisees’ anger toward Jesus.
Pride was the reason the disciples argued over rank in the kingdom (Luke 9:46).
Pride is our relentless enemy. If we succumb to its influence, there will be consequences.
We may know that we have offended someone, but pride holds us back from asking forgiveness.
We may realize we need to reconcile a broken relationship, but pride will lead us to deny that need.
The Spirit may convict us re a sin, but pride will discourage our admitting it.
Pride will convince us that we deserve better treatment.
Pride will impede our serving others. Instead, pride will have us striving for places of prominence.
Pride will have us listen to flatterers and ignore honest counsellors.
Pride will lead us to isolate ourself so that we are not accountable to others.
Humility, on the other hand, is pleasing to God and places our life in a position where God will honor us.
When pride has crept into some areas of our life,
we admit it and ask God for victory over it before it robs us of God’s will for our life.

Life will bring us questions without answers;
To live is to encounter silent seasons of the soul,
When every prayer will seem to go unanswered -
As we face events beyond our understanding or control.
Yet in the quiet darkness, Christ is working.
His silence in the shadows doesn't mean he doesn't care.
A part of faith is trusting without reason...
Believing, when he can't be seen or heard, that he's still there...
So when answers fail to come, don't be discouraged.
Keep leaning on his steadfast love and trusting in his will,
For knowing "why" won't really make a difference -
But growing close and knowing Jesus will.

One of the most difficult challenges
in life is learning not to take things to heart
and hold on.

"Happiness is to be found along the way,
not at the end of the road,
for then the journey is over and it is too late.
Today, this hour, this minute is the day,
the hour, the minute for each of us to sense
the fact that life is good,
with all of its trials and troubles,
and perhaps more interesting because of them."✫¸¸.·´¯`♥

The one choice I made that changed everything is to finally accept what God had allowed,
release my plans and ways, and embrace Christ and His truth totally.
The one choice has made my life full of passion and hope-

When you suffer and lose, that does not mean you are being disobedient to God.
In fact, it might mean you're right in the centre of His will.
The path of obedience is often marked by times of suffering and loss.

God loves each of us as if there were only one of us. ~ Augustine
and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead,
and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father--
to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
Revelation 1:5-6

for He has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Luke 12:15
"And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness,

People often ask me why it seems like God isn't moving in the West like
He is elsewhere. Jesus said He is the Bread of Life, but in order to eat
the Bread, you first have to be hungry. I think too many of us leave the
Bread on the table because we're full on everything else the world has
to offer. It's not that we don't have the Bread, it's just that we don't
eat it because we're not hungry!
