Gentle Steps...

i took another glance at the mirror, not really looking at myself. There were so many thoughts that keeps crowding my mind... i just couldn't focus. Till that point. I closed my eyes, and it just pour, the hot fresh tears.

how many a times do we carry all our burdens, our worries, our thoughts... sometimes so much of it till when someone calls out your name.. it takes you a few seconds more to register?

Didn't He says in 1 peter 5:6-7 "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because He cares for you"

Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and i will give you rest"

Phillipians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus"

Psalm 42:5 "Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God."

Simple verses, but it speaks volumes.

Take time to chew on them. And there you will find God's peace surrounding you. God's word is always the best remedy =)

May God's hand be upon all of you who are in this situation. Remember...
as Jesus said, "Take heart, i have overcomed the world!" with Jesus, you can overcome!

Romans 12:3 "For by grace given me I say to everyone of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think yourself with sober judgement, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you."

A very important verse to take heed of everytime. Sometimes its so easy to look at someone else's flaws but hmm.. to pause and think do we/i have even bigger flaws in us/me?

Living this life of ours, its so very important to keep ourselves in check always... are we right with God, is our words, and conducts edifying others?

Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen"

our christian life isn't just a one shot credit to heaven, it is more than that! in fact in Philipians 2:12 it says, "Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed - not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence - continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose."

taking this chance, lets continue to spur each other in faith, till the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ!

As the new week unfold, May God's blessings and favour surrounds all of you as with a shield!

Oh that you will bless me indeed, and that you will enlarge my territory, and that you will keep me from harm, that i might be free from pain! Let this be our prayer! =)

Loving all of you dearly,
-joyce-
