My Heart's Cry for Love

There are life circumstances that might overwhelm us--- leaving us bitter, confused, and disappointed. But this is the right time I need to trust God... There are things that I need to end and let go, knowing that it's not meant for you... If God will take a look of my heart, it's marred with wounds and scars. Only the alchemy of grace and love can heal this and stop it from hurting.

I felt neglected and rejected... I felt I am not accepted for who I am...Yeah I am badly broken but this hurt reminds me that I should learn how to put love into practice... Paul stresses in 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 the characteristics of love. And if I fail in some aspects, my love is not yet fully developed. I realize that nothing harder to do than to show my love in times of my brokenness. I need to show my love to other people by showing I care for them. I need to forgive those people who don't care to hurt me. I need to accept them in their weaknesses.

Maybe I badly need some love. But no!  I need to show my love to other people. God showed His genuine love for me. How come I can't show it? It's not only about me, me, and me... It's about others. But I don't think I can make it without God's healing embrace. His grace is enough for me to love others in spite of my down moments...

God-size Dreams Inside Me

Many times I prayed to God to make me productive and fruitful in His vineyard. But I realized that it takes to step on my faith everyday to make my dreams come to pass everyday. God has promised everything in His word. All I need to do is to believe and claim His promises. Most of the time, I was hindered by my doubt and fear, thinking of my weaknesses and inadequacies. Deep inside I felt so insecure-- neglecting that the Spirit of God is living in me.

God promised me His word

1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith

.... Claiming God's word is more than just believing it.. I have to boldly climb on my faith.. I have to act now make God's dreams a reality. I need to press forward and refuse to be defeated by my fear and doubts. I believe that God has stored the promise of victory in me. I need to keep believing, keep pressing on, keep hoping, and keep holding on to His word.
