I fixed my eyes on you.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭21‬:‭2‬ WEB)

How many times do we have to make hard choices in our life? How many times are we trouble for the things that we must say or do to speak our truth and stand in the path that God have set before us? Many times in my life journey I have had to do things or say things that I had have to think about them and think about them and even after they are done I have wonder if they were “right” or “not”.

God did no say to me that my destiny will be easy, he said that he will be with me. God did not said that people will listen to what I have to say, he said that he will give me the words that I need to speak. He did no said that my actions will be like or approved by everyone else but that He will lead me and tell me when to act and when to wait. God did not said that everyone will be my friend, but that He will be my friend, the only love I need.

Fixed your eyes in God, in the one who gave you life and do not be trouble by the path He ask you to follow, for He is with you and me all the way. It doesn’t matters who agrees, who says yes or no, what matters is that you have set your heart on Him, that He is building out of you a great cathedral and He will get to live in it for His glory and Grace.

Rejoice! Beloved one

Faith.

“Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil. (‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭26-27‬ WEB)

Yesterday, I was talking with Bill, who had become a very close friend of mine. He is one my soulmates in this beautiful journey I call life. We were talking about Faith, which is not surprising to me, because lately we always end up talking about God and our journey with Him and through Him. Yesterday, he looked at me, and asked me If I have always have complete Faith and trust in God? and How did I achieve that?

I didn’t answer in this exacts words but I think that they will convey my answer not only to Bill, but to whomever might be seeking answer to these questions in their own life as well. So, how do we achieve complete Faith and trust in God? First, we have to be born into this world, then we grow up and we start making choices. Some of those choices made by us will seem right to some and wrong to others. We will make a left turn instead of a right turn or a right turn instead of left turn. Then we get our heart broken, those who we called friends once, will betrayed us, we will get hurt, we will fall and stand, we will fall again and will have to stand again.

Then one day, we cannot longer hold anymore pain, we cannot longer hold back the raging storms within ourselves and we fall to our knees and in anger, in despair, in fear, we ask the very being that we said did not exist, What have I done to you? What haven’t I give you yet? What else do you want from me? And as you cry, in the middle of finally letting go of all you have been holding on to, the pain, the fears, the world, your belongings, the people, the love, you hear the voice of God. You hear the voice of God coming from within your heart saying Now that you have asked the questions, Would you please let me answer?

You don’t know if you should be afraid now that the genie is out of the bottle. You don’t know if hell will break loose. But even if it does, something in your heart tells you, that there is someone greater than you and I and anything we may be going through who sustain us and who have been carrying us all the way. And with every step you take tours His/Her the stronger your Faith grows and your fears vanished.

Faith in God is not a magic wand, things will still go wrong every now and then, things will not go your way all the time, but they will be according to His will for you. Which as I have come to know, to understand, the good I want for myself and others is the good that God wants for us. I have lost my faith many times and I have gain it back and only God knows if I will ever loose it again, but I sure pray that if one day I loose my faith again that God stand by me and lead me to Him again.

Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭3‬ WEB)

From the moment I wake up in the morning till the moment I go down to sleep, I am in prayer. I give my very breath and every through of the day to God and I thank him for each and every single moment. I used to think that doing that would be hard, that dedicating every action, every word we say through the day to God will be something that will take a lot of energy and effort, specially if I have to choose my actions according to His liking. But I have discover that my every day action it is to His liking. God lives within me, within you and within everything there is. So, when I am brushing my teeth in the morning, taking a shower, getting ready for work, walking my dog, talking to my mom on the phone or writing this blog I am honoring Him, I am doing it for him. I don’ t need to change who I am to honor him, because who I am, who He created me to be already honors him as it is.

We are beings of love, of light and in that truth nothing that we do, think or say does not honor our Father in Heaven. So I give him my days, my weeks, my every worry, my every action, my every moment and He succeed for me, He delivers me.

I will wait upon the Lord.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh. (‭Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭14‬ WEB)

I used to worry a lot about things. I used to worry about how will I pay my next bill, I used to worry about whether I will have food or not. And today, I still worry sometimes, but my worries do not control me or my actions. Because I have put my compete trust and faith in God.

I get to do the things I love to do, thanks to Him. He created all that we see out of nothing, He created you and me, out of nothing and if He did that. I can assure you He can take care of all of all us as well. Lately, my life have become a leap of faith one after the other, and God has been there all the way, to provide not with what I ask for or thought I want, but to provide me, one of his sons with the things that will satisfy His purposes for my life.

I couldn’t be more blessed, thankful or at peace with this. Yes, they still are challenges, but they don’t own me, they don’t control me. I belong to God and on Him, standing still I will wait.

Always in your presence.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.” (‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭20‬ WEB)

Yet, another scripture that affirm to us who is with us every single step of the way. When it come to trusting God and knowing how to do that I always look at my dog. She live life, knowing that everything will be fine, knowing that God will always provide for her and me along the way. When I feel down, sad and lonely she always come to me, and I can see in her eyes the words of God saying I am here with you both.

God lend her to me, to care for her, to love her while here on earth. And every time, I am in my dog’s presence I know God is there with us. I know that every time I am in her presence, since God is always in her mind and she doesn’t know another way of living her beautiful four legged life, God is there where we are, God is there loving us and showing us the path.

A friend told me once, even if you were living under a bridge Gabby will be happy because she is with you, God gave you to her and she knows that her job is to lead you into the kingdom of heaven. She knows that when you are down, she needs to lift you up, she knows that when you doubt she needs to love you. She knows that when you forget who is King she needs to remind you of the truth in your soul. When I am with my dog I always feel in the presence of God, she is the closest family I have with me, everywhere I go. God make no mistake when He brought her into my life, he knew what he was doing and He knew that only her could remind me of His grace in my life.

Through you and in you I build my life.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. (‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ WEB)

I know this one for sure, for sure, for sure. And let me say it again for sure I know this one. From an early age I have always known that I am passing through this world, that I all things are possible for me in Christ. Many occasions I have said to people, do not worry about me because God will provide for me whatever I may need in this earthly life. These words have never let me down, this words have always stand still and have always proof me right. For even in moments in which I did not get that, which I thought I want it I always got what God knew I needed.

Sometimes life throw curve balls at us and rapidly we fall to our knees defeated instead of in prayer. Lately, I have learn to tell my problems that I have God, that Jesus live in me and that any problem I may think I have is nothing but an illusion. I cry but in my crying I call upon Jesus, I am joyous, and in my joy there is Jesus. Even in the moments I have lots my faith Jesus have always been there, has always understand why I lost my faith and have helped me stand and gain it again.

All things are possible in Christ, What does that leave out? All things are possible in Christ, who strengthens me , who give me life and peace. Whom or what shall I fear? I know who owns me, I know who loves me, I know who I truly belong to.

The blessing is ours.

“I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.” (‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭10‬ WEB)

I truly love this verse on Jeremiah 17. In this verse God says to us that He give to us according to what’s in heart, according to what’s on our mind. For those of us who consciously work with the law of attraction on a daily basis this is yet another confirmation of how we attract things, situations and people into our life.

Every single time, I meet someone who live in complete gratitude, love and forgiveness it doesn’t matter what’s happening around them, they are simply not move by the circumstances of this world. I am sure that same as me they go through trying times and moments that are difficult for them along with happy experiences. But they have so much love in their heart that peace reigns in their life.

I have never believe in a God that punishes. But if what’s in your heart is sadness and pain and regret your life will reflect exactly that. I have seen myself and others go through the exact same situations with the exact same opportunities available to us, but what have make the difference in how things turn out have been our attitude. Did I act from gratitude or from ego? Did I came from love or from hatred? Did I choose the path of light or the path of darkness?

God lives within us, and he will work in our life as much as we allow him to. He doesn’t force His grace and mercy on us, but He wants us to have it and enjoy it as our birthright. As it has been from the beginning of time.

Happy V Day…

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. (‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭13‬ WEB)

The kind of love I speak of and I believe you and I are capable of achieving is a love that conquers all. It’s love that wants you, me and all to be more. Not because there is anything that needs to be change within us but because we are more than a man, or child or a woman or a tree we are the Universe.

When I think of love, I see colors that no rainbow will ever have. I see the faces of angels in everyone I meet. I hear the voice of God saying My child, I love you, I trust you, I gave my life for you before and I give my life for you today again if I have to.

Love is that something, that it, empowers you, that looks at you and me and says, you are everything. Love is what give us the courage to defy gravity and fly so high that we could touch the stars.

Happy Valentine Day!

Angel

I trust.

Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up. (‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬ WEB)

It doesn’t matter how far we have walk on our journey we cannot get tired of living our life purpose. We cannot get tired of what we are call to do while here on earth. Giving up is not an option for anyone. So many times I see people give up right at the finished line. And even though I can see their life stories and understand why they have come to choose to give up, I cannot agree with it. And frankly, sometimes it makes me mad. Mad because they are not giving God a full chance, complete trust so He can work through them through each and every situation their are going through.

It’s very easy to give up, it’s very easy for us to point a finger, it’s very easy for us to complaint, it’s very easy for us to say let someone else do it. But the truth is that God call you to do it, God call me to do it, and He also said that He’ll be with us all the way.

With every morning that the sun rises I see a chance to do God works, to experience God power working in my life for me and for all of those I come in contact with. With every morning that rises I see an opportunity to speak light, to speak love and to trust in God’s promises for myself and others.

Don’t give up. Trust fully in God, trust that He is not leaving you alone, trust that He have you under His wings and that he is your refuge.

Stand still for I am your God…Psalm 46:10
