Trust in you, oh Lord (Day 3)

On Monday, as I was driving to the gym I realized how God’s love teaches us to trust Him.  As I was driving  I thought about those whom I love, my mom, my sisters, my brothers, nephews, my boyfriend, my friends and something became clear to me. When any of the people that I love needs my help, not only do they trust that I will be there for them, but I also trust the love I feel for them will guide me in how to help them. God loves us unconditionally and since He has such love for us we can trust that He will always be there for us, that He will come trough in our time of need, the same way that are loves one trust us in their time on needs and we come through for them.

Personally, I cannot bear to see someone I love suffer, I cannot bear seeing a complete stranger in pain, I share their pain. I put myself in their shoes and want to do whatever is in my power to help them. Why? Because I’ve been there, I’ve been in pain, distress, sorrow, happy, joyous, content, etc. And through all of these experiences God has been there for me, whether I realized it then or not I know in my heart God has never leave my side and will never do so. God is willing to help me, if I let Him, God is willing to take me in His arms and carry me through anything and everything.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

Trust in you, Oh Lord.

So, this morning God whisper in my heart that He wants me to write this week about how to trust Him in all circumstances. About how to trust him when we are happy and in joy and how to trust Him when things don’t work out the way we want them to. I can honestly say, that trusting God in all areas of my life has been and sometimes still is something I struggle with. In my case, each day, God ask me to release an area of my life to Him and to fully trust that He will take care of it. Sometimes that’s not easy to hear to the part of me, who always wants to be in control, the part of me that think it can do better. Somedays, releasing to God something as simple as what should I eat for breakfast can be a struggle. Other days, somehow I find the courage to release my heart fully to Him and I get to experience God’s love, embrace and the power of His grace and favor in my life. Those days, that somehow, miraculously I am able to do this I re-learn how to be compassionate with myself and others, I learn how to see the world through a different set of eyes, I remember that I am loved beyond measure. I realized that I can relax and let God lead the way.

And on days, that I find hard to release the smallest part of me to Him, I find a loving  father, patiently waiting for me to be ready to do so, loving every part of who I am. I find a pair of eyes that look at me and say “I am here, I am not going anywhere, I faithfully love you and I understand you and what you are going through.”

In my life, I have trusted people and like many others been hurt, got my heart broken, held on to the pain and regret instead of forgiving and letting go. I have thought that I was trusting God but in reality I was trusting my idea of God, and idea that honestly couldn’t have been further away from the truth of who God is and what it means to fully trust Him. What I have come to understand, to know is that whether today I am ready to say God, here is my life take it and do with it as you please, or I can only say God, here is this tiny, tiny part of me that I am willing to give you today, use it for your glory. His love is never failing, He is faithful and day by day, minute by minute, moment to moment I find my heart opening more and more to a love, peace that I had completely forgotten about. To a love that I didn’t think I deserve, but somehow because God love me I do.

4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. 5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. 6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. Psalm 33 4-6

Be gentle with yourself.

This beautiful message was the message given to me by Archangel Michael this morning.  This message is very clear and to the point, but it can be a little hard to grasp for some of us is some areas of our life. For example, let think of those moments in which we want to know all the answers, those moments in which we want to take a leap of faith knowing exactly where we will land, we sometimes forget that faith is not  knowing what God’s plan is for us but trusting that He knows what’s best for us.

When I got this message this morning, I was thinking about relationships, asking whether things are going to work out between me and the other person in my life. I was feeling overwhelm by all the possible outcomes that we could choose to experience. Then I got this message, “Be gentle with yourself.”  A reminder of the importance of taking your time, seeing things through, feeling your way through the experience as well as using the wisdom we acquire through other experiences to stand in our own light. Not only for me, but for both of us, and for those who might be watching from the side lines.

So, today, I choose to be gentle with myself, to live one moment at a time, and no rush through it. The journey is as important as the final destination, if not more.

True Colors…

Sometimes it’s so easy to loose track of what’s important in life, of the things that really matter to us. Let’s say for example, relationships, we get lost so easy in them. We are always looking for relationships, a wife, a husband, a better relationship with our siblings, a better relationship with our friends, coworkers and so on. But at the end of the day the only relationship that matters and is important, is the relationship we have with ourselves. The only relationship you will always have.

If we focus on ourselves, in having a loving, caring and compassionate relationship with ourselves the rest of the relationship in our life will become loving, kind, caring and compassionate as well. It all comes back to us, in this immense, abundance and bountiful Universe only one being exist, and it is YOU.

This is where I am at, building a relationship with self that its empower by my choices. Building a relationship with self so strong and stable that nobody and nothing can affect me in anyway. I am building a relationship with self in which the responsibilities of my destiny falls on my lap and no one else’s. I am building a relationship with myself in which I make the rules as I go. There is a rainbow of choices out there and I am going to explore all of them and see which colors suite me better and keep those with me and leave rest of them for someone else. I want to share my beautiful colors with the world that surrounds me.
