Faith

“Don’t worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will bring it’s own worries” Matthew 6:34

I used to wonder how I am a good Christian if I read the bible and still did exactly the opposite of what it says! A good example would be that verse, for me I worry a lot, not only for tomorrow but the tomorrow after tomorrow too(if you get what I mean!) but today I reflected on that and everything I read and  the gospel songs I listened to, reminded me that God knows it all, that He sees me, that His plans are far better and bigger than what I pray for and that whatever happens faith should overcome it all, not fear.

That made me think of how I can actually put faith before my fears, how can it conquer my worries about tomorrow? The only thing I came up with is to remember everything that actually went well for me, to list all the good things in my life, to be grateful of the people in my life, to appreciate where I am and who I am today.

Today you might also be worried about something, and trust me that doesn’t make you a bad christian, we are human beings and worrying is in our nature but as christians let’s not allow our lives to be led by fear and anxiety, let’s put faith first, and for us to remain faithful we have to keep reminding ourselves of all the good things we had and have.

You might be exhausted, feeling like it’s the end but remember that when there is an end there is a beginning, you can’t go back to the beginning(how things were before) but you can create a new one. Just don’t give up! from that end create a new beginning filled with gratitude, trust me that gratitude will make your faith more firm and you’ll be suprised of how things ain’t actually that bad! You will start to worry less and believe more.

He sees you, be faithful and live.

Emotions

Ever thought about how your emotions impact those around you? A book I'm reading, What You Feel You Can Heal , compared emotional expression to the physics of a see-saw, and it got me thinking. When you suppress your feelings, someone close to you might unknowingly pick up on them and express those emotions instead. Picture it: you’re sitting on one end of the see-saw, holding down your feelings, and the person on the other end gets pulled up, reflecting what you’ve been trying to push down. I can’t help but remember how, as a child, I would worry(I guess I still do) when my mom seemed uneasy, even though she'd always say, "Everything's fine." The more I worried, the more she tried to calm me, which only made me feel more anxious. This is exactly the phenomenon the book describes: “The people close to you will act like mirrors, reflecting back to you a perfect image of yourself, including the parts of yourself you would rather not look at or deal with.” This isn’t...

Forgiveness

Image
It is said that forgiveness is the greatest gift you can give yourself, but again, isn't it the hardest thing to do? But who said we shouldn't do hard things? Why should it be more easier to forgive others than ourselves?  We tend to think that forgiving ourselves is excusing our mistakes or forgetting the past, but it's not! When we forgive ourselves, we are just embracing our imperfect journey, we are acknowledging that we are humans, that we will stumble, that our mistakes don't define us, and that however much we may fall short, we are still worth of compassion, still worth of love, and that we deserve a fresh start. Forgiving yourself is not running away from whatever you might have done. It's a brave act of letting go of the heavy burden of guilt, shame, and regrets that you always carry around. It is a quiet, rebellion against your inner voice that always whispers how you ain't good enough, how you're such a bad person beyond repair, how you're a ...

Firsts

We all tend to live by the saying “live every day as your last” I read in a book that we shouldn’t actually say that! that lasts are tragic and we should instead live every day as our first since firsts are exciting and I couldn’t agree more! Imagine being told that you only have few days left to live… would you really laugh genuinely, would you be able to go to places or talk to people with enthusiasm? Would you boldly say that’s it?! That you did it all? that you laughed your hardest, helped others, enjoyed life, and loved yourself and others fully in your time here?  Now think of how exciting it is to do something, be somewhere or meet someone for the first time. Think of how each day would be a celebration and an accomplishment, think of how at the end of the day you’d be happy to recall how exciting and satisfying the day was, and think of how if that day was to actually be the last you’d smile and say oh I’ve definitely lived!  Lasts are indeed tragic and sometimes full ...
