Count it All Joy?!

My children moved out of the house a month ago. They felt disturbed. My relatives have forgot about me, they don't want to hear a thing. My friends left me and no one wants to hang out with me anymore. To top it all, i have lost the love of my life- my husband. Today my boss fired me saying that my faith is disturbing him. How can i count it all joy?

My pillow never gets dry of my tears and my eyes are always sore of crying. I have no reason to smile or laugh with anyone about anything.

I then remembered that i am being persecuted because of the God that i serve and because of the righteous change i have become. Now, what?
I took the bible and paged through trying to find something that will give me more reason to hate and to be frustrated.

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience" (James 1:2-3). Whoa! Exactly what i got and what i did not understand. " Am i crazy to do that?" That was my reply to counting all joy when i am losing all i ever wanted and had. It is impossible for me to rejoice in that situation because that's where i had my 'joy'.

Maybe you are in that situation or similar or even worse than hers and you are asking yourself: " how can i count it all joy when i am persecuted for good by people around me?" yes that is true, it is impossible to be happy when your soul and your heart is being beaten up and chiseled.  But this is what apostle James and our Lord Jesus commanded us to do. Jesus said, "Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven". (Matthew 5:10)

Only if the reason is for God's sake, you can count it all joy. Why? Because the fire that you are going through at that time is just to refine you, to make you be a better person than what you were and what you thought you were. You were actually weak poor and you had no quality. But count it all joy for it has come- the time for you to be perfected and made the stronger person you really were created to be.

After the fire is the kingdom of heaven and patience. That is more than you have ever asked for, isn't it?

Stay Blessed.

The foundation...what's that?

Once upon a time there was a man who was so tall and he was having big features of his body. This man always led a huge crowd of people to follow him and he was respected a lot. Each time he would call someone to his chamber they would be troubled and only think of heavy missions they will be given or face death. He was most of all know of his evilness.

There was something that made the people to fear him the most, his eyes. He had red, dark, evil eyes that when he was not pleased with you they would tell everything. looking in his eyes you would see rage, murder and nothing good. He was far from purity. His big body features were not as cruel as his eyes. He was so scary. He had everyone he wanted as wife and as slave. He always brought out the worst out of people and never saw or acknowledged good in people. Everything was either his way or no way. He did not need to say anything to tell how hard a man he was. Cruel, isin't?

All of us know this man i am talking about, he is the only one- Satan. In him there is the most respected and fearful feature, his eyes. Maybe we don't know that we are his descendants through having an evil eye. We are just as simple as we know we are but our eye is like the devil's.

Maybe at your work place you are always a negative person and never saw the best out of others. That is a little thing but it identifies your father.

The foundation of growth is when we have good eyes towards everything and don't allow our eyes to absorb sin into our body.

 See things positively and know that how you see thing is what they will turn out to be. That's the foundation of growth.

Stay blessed.





Getting to Grow

Growing up can be categorised into many ways of growth.
We firs have life, in this life we have to grow to be beter people in the end. Inside of life, we have the areas of our lives: Financial, Love life, Health, Spiritual and Family. These also need a certain attention for it to grow as well.

Most of the people mix nor rather confuse the growth of the areas of their lives, they do what they are supposed to do but in the wrong area of their live and that completely leads to total chaos. Lives end up not being the way that God has made them to be but what we have chosen or turned it to be. Painful, isin't?
This is just because of lacking one simple thing, Growing up.

As we will be talking about this topic you will understand the growth mistake that people normaly make in their lives for them to end up in total chaos.

For now i would like to leave all in your hands to think about how nhas your growth been and what have you been doing to show that you want to grow.

God bless.
