Maybe it’s hard to understand what I’m going through
Maybe it’s hard to be happy when I’m in pain
Sometimes I see myself in the darkness
But I remembered the sacrifice You have done
When You gave Your life for me
You saved and showed me light
Lord, hear my prayer
I turn my heart to You
I call upon Your presence, oh God
You are all I ever need
You lifted me up
Now, I stand in Your presence
In Your glory, I will praise
In Your power, I will honor
In Your love, I will live
How do you want your coffee? I like mine creamier and sweeter. I am not really a coffee drinker but I do have specific taste in my morning brew. I never thought of comparing my life in a cup of coffee but after watching this video, I have realize that I am one of those people who see life according to it’s cup and riches and power may matter to some people but not to God because, God sees what’s more important and that is our relationship towards Him… It doesn’t matter if you are the most successful or richest man in this world, God sees you for you are, His wonderful creation and there is nothing you could do to make God love you more and there is nothing that you’ve done that can make God loves you less… God’s love is unconditional, way far too deep than what we can ever imagine…
Every morning before I start my day, I savor with my delicious healthy coffee while browsing to Facebook… and everyday I seek for God’s message for me. Today’s message was something that I badly needed, God truly knows how to speak to us…
Sure, there is time to invest yourself fully into work, but there is equally important time for joyful resting. And for you, this time is now. What is the absolutely most wonderful little treat you can give yourself? Do it today.
God has a way of uplifting your spirit in ways you cannot imagine. The past few days have been rough, as I was trying to somehow get on my feet again and start picking up the pieces of my broken life boom the lupus illness strikes again. Just when I thought I am finally getting well, here I am sick all over again. I was feeling down and sad. I am trying so hard to resist on asking God for I just want to trust that somehow there’s something good that’s about to happen but sometimes I am just not strong enough.
While I was in the verge of deep depression a pastor friend texted me this “I pray that you hold on to your faith, through your trials and difficulties, may you feel the sunshine that God is showering upon you. I know soon you will experience the fullness of joy, just hold and forever trust in Him” It was a simple message but somehow it brought me peace and comfort. Thank you Lord for always reminding me on how much you love me and I do believe that in Your own perfect time I will get healed.
This morning as I weigh myself I found out that I lost another three pounds, I don’t know if I really should be glad about losing weight because I feel more sick than ever now that I trimmed down. This is my dream and I used to try out a lot of weight losss supplements just to lose weight but with no luck. Now, that I finally have my dream it seems I’m not really happy about it.
Trust God where you cannot trace Him.
Do not try to penetrate the cloud over you, rather look to the rainbow that is on it.
The mystery is God’s, the promise is yours..
No matter how firm my faith is, sometimes I still find it difficult to trust God when I am experiencing great pain because of my Lupus illness. Doubts and worry still clouds my thoughts and I know, I shouldn’t but I just can’t help it.
I have to admit that there was a night in my hospital bed that I just broke down and cry to God. I just poured my heart out and told HIm that I am so tired already and begged Him to take my sickness away.
I often chase God, forcing Him to listen to my prayers but somehow I just knew I don’t need that. Everything happens for a reason and I can only trust Him that beyond the dark clous lies the colorful rainbow that will brighten up my life, soon!
Some thoughts to ponder…
Sometimes we must be…
HURT in order to GROW
FAIL in order to KNOW
LOSE in order to GAIN…
and sometimes we have to be BROKEN so we can be WHOLE again.
I do believe this is true. Many times God breaks our spirit so that He can have the chance to make us whole again. I’ve read from somewhere that God heals the broken-hearted but He has to have all the pieces and it may seem impossible to make a broken glass be whole again but remember there is NOTHING impossible with God.
Lately I’ve been winning battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I’m amazing
I’m strong beyond my years
But they don’t see inside of me
I’m hiding all the tears
Chorus:
They don’t know that I come running home when I fall down
They don’t know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
‘Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
(Aahhh)
Unafraid because His arrow is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I’m amazing
I never face retreat, oh no
But they don’t see the enemies
That lay me at His feet
Chorus:
They don’t know that I come running home when I fall down
They don’t know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
‘Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
(Aahhh)
They don’t know that I come running home when I fall down
They don’t know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
‘Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
(Aahhh)
I'm Emmyrose, a 30-something Born-Again Christian. A simple girl with big dreams of becoming a person that God wants me to be. My life used to be perfect, at least that's what I thought.. until I was struck by an invisible disease called Lupus & everything in my life changed. Life is never easy but I have always been blessed and life may be unfair but God is good.
Every morning before I start my day, I savor with my delicious healthy coffee while browsing to Facebook… and everyday I seek for God’s message for me. Today’s message was something that I badly needed, God truly knows how to speak to us…
