Happy easter day!

Happy easter Day!
After a long silence, I come back with a short post. I didn't forget you and I could pretend too much things and you would even believe me, but the truth is I lack of inspiration, even now. I decided to go ahead; I'll do it no matter how bad the result would be.
First I want to say: "Happy Easter day everybody!". It's a special day for many people, perhaps not for me...nor for you, but there still have people out there considering this day more specially than others, it's a choice. Don't get me wrong. I don't hate celebration, I am even very fond of festivity, party and those kinds of things, but it's just for fun, because I need time to break, to forget my own burdens, to live as if skies could only be blue...
Seriously, for those who celebrate it, it reminds them the end of death and the beginning of life. Isn't that nice? Jewish people used to celebrate, and are still celebrating something alike...It's called the Passover, they were slave in Egypt and God decided to free them because God heard their plight, He knew their pain and saw their tears and despite all God is faithful, no matter how far we may drift away from Him, when we call on His name, He will rush to rescue us because He is mighty to save. That's what He had done for humanity and He is still offering life to every one of us. He sent His son on earth, He let his son suffer so we may be saved, we are worth the sacrifice...I am important to the Lord, so are you!
There are some points I'd like to enlighten. I'm convinced that each day is the best day to forgive, but if you didn't forgive the one who hurt you, who betrayed you or people who did you wrong yet, now is the time to do so. We have hurt people, we have hurt the Lord, but still He forgives us, let’s act like our model, let's live, love and forgive...Don't give up, because God have never given you up.
And to finish this short post, I wish you could say the Lord's Prayer and remember how great our God is. Remember this part for today: "May we have forgiveness for our sins, as we make free all those who are in debt to us."
Once again, Happy Easter day!

The words of emotion

In one of my favorite songs, there's a quote I really like. It says: "You'll find it in the words of others, A simple line can make you laugh or cry." We can comfort each other in too many different ways, today I am not going to write long sentences, I am just going to share one song with you, a song that I really don't hate.

The very first time I heard her song, I was like: "wow, she is just awesome, I'd write like that if I had any talent". REally, she is great, God gave her the words, she is so inspired and I was falling in love with every single word she said, the way she spelled her word, the way she lived her song.Her lyrics are so simple but really deep and inspirational.
The song I'd like to share today is her "I will show you love".

Perhaps have we wandered so far away, roaming through the world, trying to find somebody to be real and true to us, we have knocked thousand doors, swim hundred oceans and climbed million hills, and yet, no answers, only hurt and disappointment. But have we taken time to listen to God calling us with his mighty and gentle voice, He called us with love and is still calling us to come back in his arms again. Sometimes, we only look at our suffering situations that we can't see the light, we only think of our fears so that we can't realize how gread God is and the way where HE wants to lead us, He just wants to lead us home. His promise is true and we can hol unto his world, he is not a man to lie,He had promised to never leave us alone, He will do it, He is by our side even if we can't see. Accept the love God want to show you, and remember when you call his name, he will answer, He will go the distance with you and back for more if you just say a word, so say the word, tell the Lord THAT you need him, tell him you won't live on your own anymore.
God was by your side when the world was made, just trust in Him andin his great pan for you.
We are one step to win, one step to fall in our father's arms open wide. Humble yourself and accept Jesus as your LOrd and Saviour, remember God is the only solution, He is mighty to save.

Loving God, thank you for your promises, thank you for being in my life. Help me to humble myself and accept the salvation you offer me through your son and my brother Jesus Christ. Let your Holy spirit rain and overflow our heart so we may go where you lead us with eyes closed. Where am I going to hide that you can't see. Forgive my permanent desobedience and forgive all my sins. In Jesus 'name I pray. Amen!

Ready to go...everywhere is home!

It has been such a long time, I didn't post anything, I was confused, I didn't understand sometimes why things happen. Perhaps now, you're just wondering where are you heading on, how would you feel in some other places, how does it feel to leave all things that had taken you too much time to build, a bit frustrating, isn't it? I felt so until today, God reminds me the most important things in this world, let's say, two of the most important things in this world.
First, He reminds me that I don't belong here, I am just a pilgrim, I have to go ahead, I don't have to put my heart in earthly thing, life isn't just here and now, life could last forever, we just have to want it...
And the second thing is that God would never leave us alone, He promised: "Have not I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." ( Joshua 1:9 (NIV)) Wherever I may go, God will be near, God is with me. Some people may leave us and we may feel bad, sad, alone and lonely...but we are not alone, everything changes, seasons pass, people may run away from us...BUT, God is the only constant.
Do not hesitate, go wherever you want to go, just remember God is with you, you will be protected and secure!

Daily ring

Last week, the messages I received each morning reminded me of the importance of love. Each day I was encouraged to feel compassion for other people and to try to love. I was like: "Well, this is probably due to the fact that on sunday, it will be the valentine's day". I believed so till few days ago. Then I realized God never act aimlessy, all things that happen are more than simple coincidence. I know it's sometimes really frustrating to figure out there are some people who know us more than we could ever know how, but there's a big difference, God has made us and He always wanted the best for us and still He gives us the choice, we will talk someday about this great paradox that I can't fully explain or even understand.
He had made room for me, no, not really for me, for the things that were going to happen in my life. Without all these messages I received I really believe that I would react differently. But I had a positive feelings towards him instead of anger or pain, God gave me his peace and at that very moment of my life, I felt peace, I was so sorry he couldn't, I was so sorry he didn't have same definition of love as I have at that time, I was patient and I felt God had made a great work in me, I was really happy when finally he apologized to me even if I refused to meet him at that moment.
I just want to share my impression, would you mind telling me if I'm wrong because all I want is that we could learn together so that we could understand the meaning of everything therefore we would learn to trust in God's plan.
We may receive the same (annoying) messages every day, we may end up in anger and we could even start blaming God for the monotony in our life, but today I hope we could learn from my experience to see beyond what we could really see, learn to see things through God's eyes. Yes we can, He promised us to send his spirit to guide us and to light our way, our mind and our heart. Now, I can understand what does this verse on 1 Cor 13 mean. Love is truly patient, it wants the best.
My prayer: "Loving God, thank you for your patience towards myself, thank you for your love. Help me love people just as you love me, teach me to be patient with others, may I be a comfort for those I love and those who love me, pour out your love in me so that I can love every people you created, teach me compassion. In Jesus' name the personification of love I pray. Amen!"

While I’m waiting for your call!

Have you ever felt like you want to do something to the Lord? You’re just waiting for Him to call you; you’re still waiting because you haven’t heard Him calling you yet.
Then, I’m just like you, when I look at people and see how blessed their life is, I wonder why I can’t be blessed as well, when I hear people telling me why am I still in the same place, doing same bad things, never get involved in God’s work, I wonder if they are just mocking me and when I realize they aren’t, I can’t help but wonder how could they hear God’s call and I don’t.
But today, I don’t want to pretend Jesus call me to do this, I am even sure He doesn’t need anything from me but my very soul. I decide to do things to Him for He has done too many things in my life, He has changed me even if it isn’t too much to be witnessed, He changed my life and this blog is all I can offer, if I can comfort people, share my doubts so that we can all be comforted in Christ our savior and king, then I can be satisfied. I don’t want to receive God’s blessing with crossed arms, I want to act, to share my convictions to live my faith day by day and step by step.
So day by day, hand in hand, we will walk until our savior and king come and make us home!

Welcome!

It has been such a long time; I wanted to do something for my God. He was faithful and still is, what I’ve done for Him, I know He wants nothing from me but my self offering, my devotion and my will to follow Him, no matter what may come on my way.
I welcome you on my blog, perhaps you are like what I used to be, we will learn together to trust in Christ, to grow in faith and to get ready when time will come He will withdraw us into His home. Everyday is fight but I’m sure He gives us the power to overcome, and we will overcome. Take my hand and let’s go together to the land where there’s no place for cry, heartbreak and sadness.
Help us Lord, help us love You, help us realize that You are all we need…Amen!
