Most people do not accomplish everything they are capable of doing because they have not come to the end of themselves and the beginning of their God-ordained destiny.

Who are blessed?
I’ve often heard people saying “I’m truly blessed”, or “God blessed me.”
Does that mean other people weren’t blessed?
If God causes the sun to shine both on the good and the bad, will He withhold His blessings to some and give it only to a few?
Who are we to say that some people are less fortunate than us?
I believe that God pours His blessings upon us all… always.
And maybe, when we say that we are blessed, it is only like saying we have finally found the faith to receive what God is giving us. Finally, we have recognized God’s goodness, and for that, we say that we are blessed!

The Power of Surrender
Surrender is a mighty powerful word.
Sometimes we wonder why God had to wait until we’re tired and worn out, until we’ve finally given up before He gives us what we want.
And the answer is that we have made Him wait that long before we allowed Him to carry on His work and give us what it is we’ve been praying for.
Let us repent therefore.
Repent as in the word “metanoia” which means “a change of mind”.
From doing things our own way, let us trust and cooperate with the Spirit
so we may live the full life Jesus has promised us all!

The One Who Pursues Us
It is God who pursues us
who uplifts us
and protects us
and provides for everything we need
It is God who loved us first
who showers us with every good thing
we do not even know
All that is required of us
is the faith to believe
that He is there
that He is our Greatest Lover
the source of all that’s wonderful
there is in our lives
It is our part to be able to receive
such a love
to rejoice
because we have been called
because we have been found
because we learn
that despite the mundaneness of what we see
we are special
we are cherrised
we are in truth
God’s beloved ones.
One can test whether a thing is good or not in this way:
If it causes you to lose interest in life
and thereby wish to cease in existence,
such a thing is not good for you.
If it gives you interest and enthusiasm,
if it ignites in you the desire
to live your life as you have never lived before,
such thing is good.
Be not deceived however,
for there are things
we cling on to
not so much as to live life
but to have a means of escape from it,
to make us forget
how dead we really are within.
