Faith, to trust what you say..

 

We've all been there. Gone through something that has left us hurt. If you're telling me that hasn't happened to you, I might be forced to assume you're lying.

Fast forward, so did I and one of them was about letting go of my favourite friend. The one who was around for the happy times and the sad times. The break from familiarity was and is scary and I was angry and sad about letting go. But I know deep down that this was for the best and maybe in due time, god will help me understand why.

There's so much I don't understand. So much I'm afraid of.. but this morning as I read my Bible, I read about how God told Abram,

" Do not be afraid. I am your shield and your exceedingly great reward"

Genesis 15:1

Abram had nothing,in fact he had to leave familiar territory too,but god pointed to the sky and told him that one day, his descendants will be as numerous as the the stars. The proof is visible for the whole world to see today. Our feelings might change,but my god never does. He always wants the best for his children and he always keeps his promises. I will choose to love him and trust him.

So despite whatever happens, I will choose to trust the maker of the galaxies, I will choose to trust Jesus,he died for me. I will choose to obey and listen and even if it's the hardest thing to do, I hope god will give me the mercy to make the right choice and if you're going through something similar, to help you make the right choice too.

I have faith that no matter comes my way, the good or the bad,my god is completely capable of leading me through it. He did it before and he will do it again,as long as I am in his will. So dear best friend of mine, I wish you the best forever and always. You'll always be close to my heart and I will always be grateful to God for you.

Here's taking one step back and asking God for help to help me trust and have faith. If I am where I am today, it's all about his grace and grace alone. 

I need you to soften my heart
And break me apart
I need you to open my eyes
To see that You're shaping my life
All I am, I surrender
Give me faith to trust what you say
That you're good and your love is great
I'm broken inside, I give you my life
- elevation worship.

How it all started..

Image
It all started when I was young. If you were expecting me to talk about the cliche way of saying it, you got it wrong. Every summer since I was barely able to walk, our family would spend time among the rural villages of Tamil Nadu in the initiative to spread the love of God. Being a little kid meant running around and telling people about how good loves them and he's good and he's the creator of the universe. I was mostly dismissed with a wave of a hand or told to go away sometimes. I would be disappointed and I would go back with a heavy heart. Fast forward, It was during one such summer when another family, consisting of doctors decided to come with us. I was older and was accustomed to the way these visits went, until one day. The family who had come with us decided to start a medical camp,free of cost for these villagers. To my utter disbelief, the same grandmas who had told me a myriad of reasons as to why they didn't have time to listen to me, lined up in...

The heart wants what it wants

I've come to realise that what I want is not what I need, especially when it comes to relationships and friendships.It's been one of the hardest realistions I've had to face because truth hurts. But I've realised the best things in life are in store for those who trust in the Lord.  Jeremiah 17:5-8 5.This is what the  Lord  says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man,who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the  Lord. 6.That person will be like a bush in the wastelands; they will not see prosperity when it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives. 7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the  Lord , whose confidence is in him. 8  They will be like a tree planted by the water that  sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes;   its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and  never fails t...
