God's Grace is Enough

"But He has answered me, 'My grace is enough for you: for power is at full stretch in weakness.' It is, then, about my weaknesses that I am happiest of all to boast, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me;" - 2 Corinthians 12, 9


There are times when the one thing we want is the one thing we never get. When we want something so deeply we usually pray and wait but we don't receive an answer, or at least no the answer that we expect it. What if God says no? What if our request is denied?

When God says no to us is maybe because that thing that we want so deeply is not according God's plan for us and it is when we really need to trust Him more that ever: "Yes, I know what plans I have in mind for you, Yahweh declares, plans for peace, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope" - Jeremiah 29, 11. When we don't receive exactly what we want, we could remember that: "A human heart makes the plans, Yahweh gives the answer" - Proverbs 16, 1.

Sometimes He is just trying to tell us "My grace is enough for you". Today ask God to release your grip on all the things you are holding on to, and that prevent you from returning to His passionate embrace. Give up on your fears about others walking away and taking their love with them because God's love is eternal and He always be with you: "Yahweh has appeared to me from afar; I have loved you with and everlasting love and so I still maintain my faithful love for you." - Jeremiah 31, 3.



Dear God, do not allow that nothing hold me but You.
help me to always give You all my faith, 
all my hope, and all my love
because Your grace is enough for me. 
Amen.

Be Satisfied

 "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart . " - PSalm 37:4. I was single for a long time, I remember how much I struggled at that time, because my soul was not satisfied, something was missing, after years and years of praying, the Lord finally gave me an amazing husband the sweetest and kindest man. But before that happened God helped me to be satisfied, fulfilled and content by being loved only by Him.  Today I found a beautiful prayer by St. Anthony of Padua, and I could not avoid to share it.  "Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, To have a deep soul relationship with another, To be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But to a Christian, God says, "No, not until you are satisfied, Fulfilled and content with being loved by Me alone, With giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me. With having an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone. Discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to b...

Increase my Thankfulness

"Give thanks in all circumstances; this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5, 18. Dear Lord, please increase my thankfulness. Help me to open my heart to You so I could seek You in the midst of my circumstances. Open my eyes to see the signs of Your unseen presence in my life. Allow me to find You in myriad tiny details  as well as in the big picture of my life.  Grant me to notice all my blessings - small and large -  and to always thank You for them.  Thank You so much for Your unfailing Love.  Amen.

God Works While We Wait

"W ait for the Lord, be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord. " - Psalm 27, 14 Being honest, we all hate to wait. That is because most of us consider waiting like wasting time. But it's not so with our God, we just need to remember that good things are worth waiting and God only wants good things for us: " If you, then, evil as you are, know how to give your children what is good, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him! " - Matthew 7, 11. God uses waiting to change us, He wants us to learn how to follow Him and put down all our doubts, worries and fear. While we wait we need to relinquish the control to Him in order to experience His love and peace, and remember that even when we are unable to see what He is doing, God is always working on the events to accomplish His purposes for our lives. We only need to trust in His unfailing love for us, knowing that waiting is never wasted when we...
