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...

When Your World is Turned Upside Down

"None of the trials which have come upon you is more than a human can stand" -1 Corinthians 10, 13a Sometimes all what we thought would be permanent just vanish, suddenly we find out that our "perfect world" is turned upside down. I was recently experienced one of that moments and then I received a text from an old best friend: "You can trust that God will not let you be put to the test beyond your strength, but with any trial will also provide a way out by enabling you to put up with it"- 1 Corinthians 10, 13b.  Maybe my friend did not even know how much I needed that words, I just think that it was God who actually sent that message as a reminder to keep trusting Him, I was experiencing a lot of pain and sadness the last days because almost my entire life was turned upside down and that morning I felt overwhelmed and then just two words bring me the peace I so desperately need: TRUST GOD.  Dear God,  I don't have to fully understand...

Finding My Purpose

"Do not model your behavior on the contemporary world, but let the renewing of your minds transform you, so that you may discern for yourselves what is the will of God  -- what is good and acceptable and mature." - Romans 12, 2. At the beginning of this year I experienced a beautiful period of happiness, joy and excitement. I used to wake up every morning with a big smile with a sense of joy that filled my days, yes,  I was in love. And it felt so good. But as all the things of this world that season ended, it was certainly unexpected, it was hurtful, suddenly I realized a lack of joy and excitement in my life who was turned gray, I felt stuck, frustrated, trapped, my life had no direction that is when I saw how much I needed a change.  I became conscious that I needed to start walking according to God's purpose more than ever. That is  when I recognized that I don't have a clear idea abut God's purpose for me, I was certainly not completely lost I be...
