Sharing is caring…

How many times you are about to say encouraging words to a friend or to a stranger and you stop yourself? How many times are you ready to start a journey that could lead you into all the happiness you wish to attain and you freeze and let go of the idea without hesitating? How many time are you going to denied yourself what makes you happy, joyful, what makes you feel alive?

Jesus said: I have come so you may life and have it in abundance. 

What does that leave out? Absolutely nothing! We were not created to suffer, or to lack, or to go through trials and tribulations with our head down and ashamed or afraid of looking up.  We were not created to live in guilt, to live in pain or to live a life feeling less than something or someone else. They are moments in my life, situations in which thinking loving thoughts, uplifting thoughts tours me or others have been somewhat difficult. I think we all have those moments, it’s part of being human, I supposed. But I also know of the far greater moments in which I have live my life trusting God and His word, trusting God’s love for me, knowing that God love me right now as much as He is ever going to love me and it is enough, actually it is more than enough.

I tell my boyfriend every now and then, that I am the disciple whom Jesus love. And honestly, I know that to be truth and I do my best to live my life knowing, that, this statement is true to me. But I also know that you, who is reading this simple words right now, are the disciple whom Jesus love as well. I believe that you as well as me have as much grace, power, favor and love from God flowing through you for  you and tours you every single moment of your life. God is love and love is sharing, every time you feel like hugging someone, every time you feel the need to say something, to stand for your beliefs. Every time your heart is leading you to go in a certain direction that is God asking you to share all that you have been giving by Him.

When I get to see God face to face, I want my accounts of grace, talents, gifts given to me to be in the negative balance. Because I used up, share, gave all that I was given and even more. To me that is a life well lived. To me that is a life worth speaking of, that is a legacy worth leaving behind for everyone to share and benefit from.

Rejoice! Beloved one

You are my refuge.

But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice, Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you. For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield. (‭Psalms‬ ‭5‬:‭11-12‬ WEB)

What a beautiful scripture this is. Let those who take refuge in you shout for joy, let them be joyful. For your blessing will be with them always. To me this scripture is asking us to trust God. This scripture says to me that it doesn’t matter what you are going through right now or what you will be going on through in the future, if you call His name, if you declare with your heart that Jesus is your Savior, Nothing will keep him from getting to you.

There have been many times that I am sure all of us have said Why is this happening to me? That we have tell
whatever problem we have, you are too big for me, I am not strong enough for this. Instead of getting on our knees and asking for God’s help. God will always show you that you are stronger than you think you are. Because in Him you are as strong as He is. In God we are all capable of overcoming as Jesus overcame for us.

God does not do halfway jobs. He take clay and makes a masterpiece out of it. God is not done with you or me yet. And if when we have a problem we remember this, we will also feel His strength, His clarity, His love. We will
Know that we are all in Him and that He is all in us.

7 Characteristics to achieve success in your life -Part 2

A new chapter…

I moved to this beautiful city a couple of weeks ago, and day after day, minute after minute I’ve learned to live in complete gratitude. Everywhere I go, I find smiles, advice, love, joy, hope. Everywhere I look, I see beauty, I see the world within me expanding. I see it clearly now, I would lie if I said that I have not cried or feel fear trying to take my joy, but just saying your name, just saying Jesus, have been enough to carry me through.

All that God wanted, all the Love wanted was my complete trust, and now that I have giving it to Him, nothing seems wrong. The fears that once control me, can’t reach me now. I saw the tower falling, I saw the flames eat me alive and when I thought that I was over, I came back from the ashes of the steps that once I call mistakes. I can hear the rain falling and it feels so good. I feel so loved, so complete but still discovering who I am with every step I give.

Oh Father, I love you and recognized how much you love me, even if I were the last man standing in the middle of pains, fears and sorrows I will still call your name, for you have call me to speak of your love, to be the light that I was born to be.

Thank you!

A testimony to God’s Power…

People sometimes make fun of you when you say things like ” God has a plan or He will deliver me”. In my experience people have even make fun of God  by being cynical or sarcastic when they say to me “Well, miracles always happen, you say, you  should have continue in the same path you were,  you probably be in a much better position now”  I heard that one recently from someone who call himself my friend.  But lucky me, I heard my pastor when he said God, do not dwell in the past, God dwells in the now, in what it is. For so long, I have been taking “leaps of faith” knowing that  there was ground below me, that there was a hand to hold and my world collapsed even more than I thought it could. Today, I am taking those same leaps of faith and even greater ones knowing that there is no hand to hold or ground below me, and still the voices of fear have not yet change their old  eight tracks. Don’t get me wrong, I am not judging anyone here, or pointing fingers, I am simply speaking the truth, at least my own truth and experience.  

It has also been my experience that does who have no dreams will try to crush yours, and trust me when I say, they will stop at nothing to try to succeed at it. Which  has encouraged me all my life to work harder at making my dreams come true. It’s in adversity that find my faith to become stronger and I am moved to  trust more on the statement “God has a plan for me”.  Since an early age God was training me for these moments, God was training my family for these moments before I was born,  God knew before you  and I knew, or  anyone else knew and He has not forsaken any of us. For He has a plan for you and me. Perhaps the path I wanted to follow isn’t big enough for me, but He has one that is not only big enough for me, it allows room for growth.  Now, I ask; What are we going to do when God shows off  with His Miraculous, Marvelous Plans crowning His kings and Queens? What are we going to do when  God shows up?  Many  will run for the hills, others will fall to their knees and He will say sons, daughters, I love you, all. And  I accept you as you are, and you are welcome home, whenever you are ready.

The Taste of Second Chances…

Second chances have a hidden lesson in them. You not only learn to value more what you almost lose but you also learned that you do not like life without that, which you almost lost. Whether is a person or a job, a friend or a lover you realized how much they mean to you. I learned that recently and the most beautiful thing is that the amazing and wonderful man that I almost lost may have given me a second chance, but still every moment we are together in a way I have to work for it. We both have work for it. I’ve learned that commitment to our ourselves, our beliefs and to the people we love and want in our life is something you work on a daily basis. They are not excuses big enough that could explain how or why a commitment or a promise to someone was broken. Nothing is bigger than love and love is a commitment you have with everyone and everything in your life. If you love it, love him or her you honor that. It doesn’t get any easier than that. The spark that ignited  friendships and lovers needs the two of us to be present. The spark that give life to our journey together needs us to be there 100% for each other, for ourselves and for the journey itself. THANK YOU!! Every day of my life near or far, wherever it lead us you’ll know this is true….
