"God is good all the time, all the time God is good"

"God is good all the time, all the time God is good"

Being a believer of any religion stems from having faith. It is faith that gives us hope to hold on, and to believe that problems will pass and that in the end everything will be alright. There are people who are like Thomas, who do not believe until he himself saw Jesus, and there are those who are not. It is faith that makes us believe in Him even though we haven't seen Him. Maybe it's because He has answered A LOT of our prayers. Maybe it's because He is always by our sides at all times, whether it is sorrow or happiness. Or maybe because our friends or relatives have shared their testimonies on Jesus' works. Still, it is faith. 

I myself have experienced His powerful works and I believe they are blessings. There are a lot of times that I pray and He answers me back. Prayers should always be praise, thank then ask. We should give praise to Him first and thank Him for everything He has given and done for us. Then, that is when we can ask Him for our intentions. 

Having another day to live by is one of the blessings I receive and to be thankful for. We are blessed to have our eyes opened again to another bright sunny morning and continue our lives with the ones we love. We should be thankful, we can see the sun and feel the wind, because there are those who cannot anymore. For hearing the traffic noises or the birds singing, we are blessed. For having the ability to say and do what we feel and know is right, we are blessed. For having everything we have now, we are truly blessed. Let's start to count every blessing we receive and I am sure we'll all be amazed on how rich we are. Let's start today. Be grateful to everything. Be good to everyone. Then God will do the rest. You'll be rewarded and you'll feel that you have the fulfillment of your soul. There is no harm is trying not to recognize the negative things that happened or is happening. It's part of life. It is just how we are going to handle everything. Through God, everything is possible. Let's be positive and believing. Have faith and be blessed. Have a good day!

i just realized. . .

Everything is making sense now. I just realized that that turning point in my life is really God's will. It's like everything is unfolding now. I believe that He gave me challenges I can overcome. That He has better plans for me. Maybe he was thinking that life with these people i'm with now is better than before. I trust His judgment. And I think He's right. As I assess myself, for the past 3 years i've been here, I feel happier. I feel safer. I feel a better person. That feeling of confidence and belief to myself, I think, is important for every person. For us to be able to face every challenge waiting ahead of us. And for us to grow in every aspect of a person. Good feeling inside will reflect on how we interact with others. That is also one thing. It is important for us to be socially inclined somehow. We cannot live alone, for no man is an island. Treating yourself well means you know how to treat others right as well. A good principle, indeed.

Pray a lot

It's hardly a week when I started feeling so paranoid. Then I thought, maybe I was forgetting something. And yes, I am. I forgot I have God with me all the time. It was just today that I realized that I really need to talk to Him. Talk to Him to ask for guidance and to ease my pains. Then, I prayed. The light mystery. I told Him everything. I told Him what I felt. Afterwards, after leaving the church I just felt that feeling of lightness. That feeling of lightness seemed to be my answered prayer. I've told Him everything that has been bothering me for the past few days. I believe that through that, I am letting Him control my life. That I am entrusting my life with Him. And I am happy with that. I've proven it again. Proven that prayer really is the best cure for everything. You might not be answered quickly but you'll see the results. You'll feel it. Before I went there, I was really confused. Even during my prayers, I was distracted. I hate myself for that. But I can say that I managed to collect myself. That I was able to regain my confidence because of the Lord. He is really the Light of the World. And I love Him for being that Light to everyone else. I trust Him. I trust Him that He won't let anything happen to me. That He has given me challenges, which He know I can handle. He is good all the time. So, in our everyday lives, don't forget to acknowledge our creator. He might have been hard sometimes, but just trust him. You'll be fine. We'll be fine. :)
