SPRINKLE A BIT OF FAITH

I was raised conservatively (and that’s an understatement believe me). I went to Christian schools from kindergarten to college. I could say that I grew up knowing God. It’s only when I was in my 20′s though when I got to know Him on a deeper, more personal level. I used to know Him only in theory, until life became a little dramatic and I felt and understood that theory. God is love, He is nearer when we are heartbroken, He provides our needs, His plans are far better than ours.

Society is brainwashing us into thinking that when we reach a certain age, we need to be married unless we want to be considered as outcasts/rejects/losers. What a silly idea. My faith keeps me from following such folly. My faith prevents me from becoming desperate and hastily jumping into wrong decisions. It teaches me to see my worth not the way the world sees me, but the way the One Who truly knows me does.

10 things about FAITH:

1. Faith allows me to celebrate my friends’ marriages and babies without envy, knowing that God is preparing the best for me.
2. Faith assures me that in my loneliness, in my pain, in my emptiness, God is enough for me.
3. Faith keeps my eyes on the reward and lets me ignore the obstacles along the way.
4. Faith keeps me strong when I’m about to give up and question God’s plans.
5. Faith lets me stand firm despite the discouragement and criticisms thrown at me.
6. Faith allows me to wear a smile on my face like nothing ever happened.
7. Faith also led me to other beautiful people who share the same beliefs and are with me in this journey.
8. Faith makes me whole. My faith completes me. My faith makes my life better, easier and more awesome.
9. Faith keeps me sane in this crazy world.
10. Faith gives me courage and boldness to take the path less traveled.

How much does my faith affect my relationships and relationship status? Big time! It’s not easy, but that’s okay. I’ve got power in my faith. I believe and I trust Him!

I'm going to sprinkle a bit of faith into my world and hope a little magic comes my way

“Faith it till you make it”. I don’t know who came up with that quote but I love it. Basically its saying to keep the faith until the manifestation of God is done. It’s hard to stay faithful when all in the natural feels so hopeless. Giving up is easy, real easy! Anything worth having sometimes requires a fight. Keeping the faith and waiting and allowing God to work things out takes more strength, but it is so worth it in the end. Keeping the faith sometimes means not knowing what the exact outcome will be but you are trusting that God’s will is greater than your own. But as human beings having our own freewill we want things when and how we want them and conforming to other’s will is hard. Which means surrendering to God can be hard too. It’s like, God can you just do it how and when I say do it? Why do I have to wait so long? Why don’t you do it this way and not that way? But thank God that “for my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD” (Isaiah 55:8). God knows what is best. Keep the faith regardless of how hopeless you feel the situation you’re facing may be God has it all worked out. “Faith it till you make it!”

Hebrews 11:1- Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

SOMEBODY'S ME

I feel sometimes I'm not loving God as much as I need to. I so wanno start loving Him all over again. God was showing me lil' bit of His love for me in this powerful passage. It was like He told me, "No matter how much you have messed up, I'll still have mercy on you". Especially the last line, "I'll say to Nobody, "You are my dear Somebody".

This was God's message from Hosea chapter 2:

14-15 “And now, here’s what I’m going to do:
I’m going to start all over again.
I’m taking her back out into the wilderness
where we had our first date, and I’ll court her.
I’ll give her bouquets of roses.
I’ll turn Heartbreak Valley into Acres of Hope.
She’ll respond like she did as a young girl,
those days when she was fresh out of Egypt.

16-20 “At that time”—this is God’s Message still—
“you’ll address me, ‘Dear husband! 'Never again will you address me,
‘My slave-master!’
I’ll wash your mouth out with soap,
get rid of all the dirty false-god names,
not so much as a whisper of those names again.
At the same time I’ll make a peace treaty between you
and wild animals and birds and reptiles,
And get rid of all weapons of war.
Think of it! Safe from beasts and bullies!
And then I’ll marry you for good—forever!
I’ll marry you true and proper, in love and tenderness.
Yes, I’ll marry you and neither leave you nor let you go.
You’ll know me, God, for who I really am.

21-23 “On the very same day, I’ll answer”—this is God’s Message—
“I’ll answer the sky, sky will answer earth,
Earth will answer grain and wine and olive oil,
and they’ll all answer Jezreel.
I’ll plant her in the good earth.
I’ll have mercy on No-Mercy.
I’ll say to Nobody, ‘You’re my dear Somebody,’
and he’ll say ‘You’re my God!’

Reminds me few lines from Enrique's song, "SOMEBODY'S ME". It's like God telling me these lines:
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody hopes that one day you will see
That somebody's ME
- GOD
