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...

Why Should We Pray?

"O ur fearlessness towards Him consists in this, that if we ask anything in accordance with his will he hears us. And if we know that He listens to whatever we ask Him, we know that we already possess whatever we have asked of Him. " 1 John 5, 14-15. Praying is the way we could communicate with God, and it help us to bring us closer to Him. There is not something better than spend a one-on-one time with the our loved Father, who knows all our secrets and loves us no matter what. " He is close to all who call upon him, all who call on him from heart " - Psalms 145, 18. By praying we could have access to Divine help when we need it most. Every time we experience worries, anxieties and fear we could ask God's help having the certainty that He will always helps us. " Never worry about anything; but tell God all your desires of every kind in prayer and petition shot through gratitude, and the peace of god which is beyond our understanding will...

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.
