I know there are days that you feel tired, overwhelmed and useless.
Just hang in there. Because of GOD's promise...

All throughout my life I've always relied on my own strength. I don't like relying to other people. I don't like asking for help even from friends. I made sure I am in control.
But eventually, I couldn't take it anymore.
I got tired. I burnt out. I didn't know what to do next.
And because of that God came to the rescue! So from now on I will heavily rely on HIM for everything. Why?
Because....

The scripture that struck me the most last night from our Bible Study...
Is there ever a time in your life that you feel that you are so far away from God and that HE is not there? There's a tiny feeling in our hearts that longs to hear His voice but we just can't hear HIM.
OR, there are prayers unanswered. Questions we couldn't find the answers to.
This is the time where we will just rely on the Bible and our faith. That in this stage of our lives, God has a plan for us. All we have to do is BELIVE.
There will come a time that you feel weak, abandoned, alone. This is the perfect time to call on God. Paul felt the same way, in, 2 Corinthians 12:7-8
"I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me."
Even the strongest, the most faithful of all felt inadequate and insecure. But the good news is, God assured him and told him that...
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
There are reasons why we are weak. Because God wants us to surrender our weaknesses. He wants us to handle us, our lives. God wants us to do the rest. God wants to show us how much He loves us through His plans for us.
Now, who wouldn't want that?!?

Matthew 6-19:21. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
This is by far my most favorite passage. When I feel like not giving, when I feel like not donating to those in need, God would somehow lead me to this particular passage...
Doesn't it make sense?
"Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Where do you give out your time, energy and your treasure?
What do you spend your money for?
What is your reason for living?
Are you living intentionally and not just going with the flow?
Are you living for yourself, for others, or for God?
Whatever answers you got for these questions, these are what is inside your heart. These are the things that you live for.
It's time to decide, folks.
May we go for the life that God wants us to live. The life where God is the center. The life where we will be proud of. But most especially the life that God has planned for us.
With all the events that happened during the first month of the year, you would think...
DO I HAVE AN ANCHOR WHERE I CAN LEAN ON?
With fears developing, insecurities of our lives and fear of "what will happen next?", we get to think, I have to have something or SOMEONE whom I can lean on, right?
That's the reason why yesterday's sermon, "FAITH TRULY HEALS." rang a bell to me. These are the times that I am glad that I have GOD by my side. Because having faith in HIM will move mountains, will bring security and love and yes, it would even HEAL.
Call on to God, today, folks.
GOD will lead to where you are supposed to be. And that feeling of security, warmth from HIS love and the assurance that you'll be alright? That is just a bonus. (*wink*)
