Just like you.

You wake up some days amidst the circumstances that surround you and wonder if the impact of a car would hurt a little less. I know you feel like nothing’s going to work out, your faith is trembling. You feel like you’re crying out for help and no one seems to hear, even when they do, they wonder why you don’t feel as happy about life as they do. I know you’re drowning in your thoughts and praying for a way to stay afloat. I know the future frightens you and you’re not sure you want to keep considering your options because it seems to set you even farther back. You wish your loved ones could read your mind and help without having to ask you a million questions because the more you talk about how you feel, the more your soul cries. You’re not sure if you can go on because with every step you take, you watch your world crumble around you. You feel yourself losing grip while your life spirals out of control. You just want to get back to a place you used to know, feel a certain kind of peace you’re well accustomed to. I understand how you feel, I am just like you.

Inspiration.

“Things may never be completely convenient at anytime and your only option might just be to take a risk. Don’t allow the fear of failure to rob you of success. Don’t be counted among the cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Don’t allow the cowardly noise of discouragement around  you to silence the daring voice of bravery within you. Remember, a ship is always safe at the shore but that is not what it is built for. Step out by faith on the seas of life and you shall have uncommon results!”

Believe.

The moments we forget about our struggles are the happiest ones. Don’t let your problems cast a shadow over your life. The findings of yesterday might be the reason why today is so blurry. Should you also let tomorrow go by the same way? The change you make today automatically changes the outcome of tomorrow. Does your future have any significance to you? Do you think so much about it that you can’t even understand your thoughts anymore? Maybe you’ll end up along the line of your thoughts. Maybe not. You’ll never understand God’s plan for you until you actually let him take control. He’s the author and finisher of our faith so why not let him take control? He’ll make a way obviously. All you have to do is believe. Never try to plan or go ahead of God. You’ll always take the wrong turn when you rely on your own understanding.

 

Complicated.

I never give up, I never want to turn around once I embark on a journey. I just never want to feel like a failure. I’d rather struggle to stay afloat than admit I’m drowning. Maybe it has to do with my ego, principles or upbringing. I really don’t know. All I used to know was never quitting and in the end I’ll excel. It worked when life wasn’t so complicated even if at that point I thought life couldn’t get any worse. Apparently, it can. 

 
Everything’s crazy now. I’m so close to the end but I’m even closer to giving up. All I hear now is “you can do it, I have faith in you. You never fail”. Not really sure how much faith I have in myself anymore. I’m scared out of my mind and I don’t know how else to put it across. Not really sure if this kind of fear is healthy but I’m sure I don’t want to keep feeling this way. 
 
I’m about to have 10 crazy days but I’m putting all my faith in God ’cause I know He has never failed me and he won’t start now. I’ll make it through. 
 

He is Risen.

1 Corinthians 15

14- “And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty”
17- “And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!”
Matthew 28:6 “…For He is risen…”
He is risen! He is risen! He is risen!
Today, we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the confirmation of our salvation and the washing away of our sins.
Salvation was the most amazing gift to mankind. Jesus died and rose again so we can be whole, so we can be cleansed of sin and iniquity. Nothing should be comparable to the magnitude of our gratitude for this eternal gift.
I find it a little ridiculous when certain Christians don’t believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus, I feel it should be the foundation of our faith seeing all that Jesus went through, the cursing, the pain, the doubt and disbelief. He did it all for us. The son of God died so we might live.
It’s crazy to think about.
How many people can actually lay down their lives for humans drowning in sin? That’s a funny question actually cause we can’t even stop judging each other let alone love unconditionally. We judge people cause they sin differently from us. I’m not a saint but I think we all need to reevaluate our lives. We need to take a step back and actually try to see the bigger picture.
He is risen! There is no cause to doubt that.
Happy Easter!!
