2021-07-14 16:01:50 "Im ashamed of the life I've lead until now.
I don't think that I can face You or seek Your presence.
I don't think that i have the right to ask You for anything because I've failed You over and over again. I've seen Your grace and love throughout my life but I still chose the wrong way; I still chose not to live my life with You"

I'm sure all of us had this thought, the thought of hopelessness and state of feeling that You are beyond repair
And feeling that You've failed God over and over again and He probably turned His back on You and tthat He's not gonna love You anymore.
He might have loved You through all your sins but You cant look at Him; I'm to ashamed I'm too broken you might say but I'm gonna tell You this, He wouldn't be the God who loved everyone if He counted all our sins and failures.
He wouldn't send His Son for those who are dead and living in sin if He hated a sinner.
He wouldn't get us through all our hardships if He gave up on us.

We might be ashamed of ourselves but His Son was never ashamed to carry the cross for Us or get humiliated for Us.
He was not tired of Us.
He was not sick of us backing away every time we felt hopeless.
He was not ashamed of us when we questioned His presence.
He was not ashamed of us when we mocked his power with others.

So all I'm gonna say is we've done a lot of terrible things to Him and to our selves but He still chose to forgive Us; so stop feeling sorry for Yourself and start the life that shows God's presence in Your life.

Start going through all Your weakness whether its addiction or impurity or whatever it is with His help.
Start reading the Bible.
Start walking with Him in every step You take.
Make Him Your priority.
Stop doing everything by Your self and start realizing we can be righteous and hopeful only through Him.

Ephesians 6:13
[13]Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].

When chaos subsides, I listen again
And after the earth shakes, You're calling me in
A voice in the quiet, a whisper within

When You speak, I am still
I believe You are near
Speak to me, draw me in
Where You are, I'll remain."

2021-07-12 09:08:54 At what times do we seek God?
When everything is going well or when everything seems bad?

There are people who engage in the former one and also others in the latter. But is God really a God of Conditions?
Please let us not fool ourselves. There isnt anything that will be added to the Glory of God if we go to him and be less when we dont; its all for our benefit. We are not doing God a favor but He is doing a favor for us waiting with arms stretched wide.

Look to the times when your first intimacy with Him was all you needed, when it was all that you craved but now time changed and you are too busy to even pray and read His word let alone have an alone time with Him.

We may have felt guilty about this a couple of times but then we find ourselves in that same spot where we are far from Him.
Guilt could be the first step but rather than staying in that let us take a step towards what changes our current situation into what God's will is even if its against our will.

Let our highest valleys be the place where we look upto God and our lowest where we sit besides His feet!

2021-07-11 20:29:33 Growing up we've always heard there is an Almighty and that there is God through which every single thing happens and during our early ages it doesn't matter if we were born in a spiritually strong or poor family but we've always asked this Almighty.
We grew up with a lot of things like keeping our parents safe or getting a good grade or not getting punished by our parents when we make a mistake and that age I don't think any of us knew the greatness of this Almighty. We always seem to beg and nag for tiniest or big things in our life, We always ask him for things but we never really thank Him as much as we should because we always complain to Him when things don't go our way and sometimes even question His existence but what I came to realize is that there is no word or a sentence in this whole world that we can use to describe how thankful we are to Him we sometimes we say "I'm the most unlucky person on this earth why wont anything go as I planned it? why wont I always get what I want" we're always counting things we couldnt get. we missed the most important gift that God gave us.

We always take for granted like waking up from a sleep or being healthy or what always seems insignificant ; that is being alive when a lot of people around us are dying in the most cruel way whether it's by a disease or an accident or a war and I dont think that we realized how precious our life is or that we are living a life that is paid for us by Jesus I don't think that we were ever grateful for all the tiny details in our life for all the things happening around us that we think are insignificant but I just I want You all to thank God at this moment for all the things You have and dont have cause i know that God knows about everything He is doing and I refuse to believe that this God who gave His only Son would do anything that would ruin my life or take things or person to hurt me.
I refuse to believe that this God dont want me to be happy cause i know that He's above and beyond all .

Give me perspective, give me Your rest
And I will take hold of all that You said
'Cause I'm not moving 'til You're moving
If I need healing, if I need hope
You are the breakthrough, You are the more
I will take hold of all that You said
'Cause I'm not moving 'til You're moving."

Culture ( Social Media) may try to convice us otherwise, but After all we've seen Him do, is He not worth the wait?"
