Shines In The Spot God Has Placed You

"You are light for the world. A city built on a hill-top cannot be hidden" - Matthew 5, 14


Being a light sounds great right? but what if shining illuminates our vulnerabilities and insecurities?  the true is that trying to shine on our own can be frustrating and exhausting. But when we remain closely connected to God, His Light pours forth though us in powerful and brilliant ways. If we believe in Jesus Christ, we are never truly alone, because His Light is living inside us.
Let God shines through you by: 
  • Glorifying Him: Remember your aim is to praise God, not man. "Great is the Lord, worthy of all praise, more awesome that any of the gods. Nothingness, all the gods of the nations. The Lord it was who made the heavens, in His presence are splendour and majesty, in his sanctuary strength and joy." - 1 Chronicles 16, 25-27.
  • Following His will: Trust that God will lead you in his ways. "Teach me, Lord, your ways, that I may rely on your faithfulness; let my heart's one aim be to fear your name." Psalms 86, 11.
  • Speaking truth: Speak in ways that are right, true, honorable and trustworthy. Speak the truth balanced with love. "If we live by the truth and in love, we shall grow completely into Christ, who is the head" - Ephesians 4, 15. 
  • Praying constantly: Throughout the Scriptures, God has revealed what pleases Him. "Always be joyful; pray constantly; and for all the things give thanks; this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5, 16-18.
Dear Lord, I welcome You into every part of  my heart.
Light up the darkness and restore my soul.
Help me to always put You first 
in everything I say and do. 
So that Your light will shine through 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

Forever Alone?

" Yes, I know what plans I have in mind for you, Yahweh declares, plans for peace, not for disaster, to give you future and hope. " - Jeremiah 29, 11.  Being single is something that could be hard I know that pretty well, because I have been single almost my entire life, during my early years I never felt concern about me being single, I spent my life mostly learning and sharing my life with my family and friends, and I was really happy. But as time goes by, seen loving relationships around sooner or later makes you ask, when will be my turn?  This long waiting makes me feel sad sometimes, I know that allow that my thoughts makes me felt ashamed of being single is not good I remember a book I read last year:   Beautiful Uncertainty  by  Mandy Hale . Specially the chapter " God's Heart for Single Women " made me realize that I shouldn't feel sad or ashamed, being single now is God's will. God wants that I wait a little more, and as  Mandy

Prayer Replaces Worry

"N ever worry about anything; but tell God all your desires of every kind in prayer and petition shot through with gratitude, and the peace of God which is beyond our understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. " - Philippians 4:6-7 I have been an over-thinker almost all my life, I think too much and thinking to much often leads me to being worried. And worry is damaging, it consumes our mind it divides our attention, it decreases our productivity and it actually negatively impacts our health. If you are an over-thinker like me, prayer is the most helpful thing you can do.  Over thinking can be detrimental to our performance, and lead to anxiety and depression. During the times I struggle the most a beautiful, a friend shared with me a beautiful Novena of Surrender to the Will of God that I would like to share with you today.  Novena of Surrender to the Will of God (Author: Father Don Dolindo Ruotolo 1882-1970) Day 1: Why do
