How to UNCOVER God’s word.
ASK - God to connect with you here. In prayer, start by slowing down, inviting God to be present. Begin with focus and openness to see what God has for you.
READ - the selected section of Scripture slowly. Take note of the words and phrases that intrigue you, reading them a second time if necessary.
REFLECT - on what grabs you. What connections do you see at this point in your life? How might God be speaking to you through these words? Stop long enough to let this take root and thank God for engaging you.
RESPOND - to the Scripture. Speak directly to God about what’s on your mind and heart. Look for ways to live out what you’ve uncovered - individually and with your church. And look for ways to bring what you have discovered to others.
Just Me
Been doing a lot of soul searching and learning to love me which I do right now. I am in a good place, I love myself more; not just the outside but the inside as well. I have fixed most of my broken relationships be it family and friends or that annoying person at work. I can finally truely say for once in my life I am at peace with who I am and with everything happening in my life. For that I am forever graterful to the BigMan up there.
God’s Healing
In life, there are some things u never see coming! There are things that scare us such as Rape, Murder, AIDS, Cancer and all those things that we never recover from. Even if we get counselling and all that its just something that happens, has happened and we can’t take it back.
Even people who try to console u, until they have walked in your shoes they can never fully experience what u are/have gone through. They can only imagine n all but they can never fully know the feeling, the torture, the torment, the shame, guilt, anger, the whole emotional rollercoaster.
Only Jesus has been thurr, being sent on earth to die for us n all. Imagine having been blameless all your life and you are thrown down on earth among sinners to experience theri emotions, suffer for them, live as them, encourage the very people that despise u. None of these things compare to what it felt like 4 Him. Not even close.
But if Jesus could rise from that, even during those times He would pray, He would rejoice, teach ppl about His Father, like this is reason enough for all the people going through any of these to move on. To Live, celebrate, praise God that u still alive and ask for Healing if you haven’t been healed. God can do all this for you. If only u ask. He is the only 1 that understands your pain and suffering and is the only 1 that can take it away.
You just need to trust Him.
Talk to Him.
I believe that we make our own destiny. Not like literally but in a way we have control over what goes on in our lives through the choices we make.
God can only do so little to help us and push us in the right direction. But when you reject him and refuse to abide by his word you cannot expect miracles to happen.
When bad things come our way we blame God instead of backtracking our steps to see which point we went wrong. The moment you have conflicting interests that should be a warning sign. No one is saying go into the world and be a coward, but at the same time it doesn’t mean when your instinct tells you not to do something don’t listen.
We forget to thank God for the great things that happen in our lives and are quick to blame. When we don’t live a life of thanks giving we cannot expect to get results. No one wants to keep giving an ungrateful child toys and gifts..
Someone once told me this, talk to God like he is your diary or best friend. Yes he can see your thoughts even before u think them but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want you to tell him. Look at it this way, the same way you want your boyfriend/girlfriend to tell you how great you look every day and how much they love u even if they have said it before, the way it makes u smile every time you hear it is the same way God wants you to talk to him. Just coz he knows what’s in your head doesn’t mean he doesn’t want you to talk to him.
Today was such a long day for a friday until I got this had me ROTFLMAO!!!!
Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves, and of course, each other. If girls dressed for boys, they’d just walk around naked at all times.
Sometimes in life you feel like your problems are the greatest in the world. U don’t want to talk about them, you envy your smiling friends and wish you could be like them. You want to say something but at the same time don’t want to bring them down with yo, you don’t want the pity, sad looks, the how are you coping, the pity drinks and dinners, basically all things that make u re-live the pain.
What you don’t realise is behind your friends smiles, they are hurting as well and waiting for another friend to open the sharing door so they can open up and have a shoulder to cry on….
