I have learned 2 things today. One of it is; God is with us all the time.
I know the fact He is omniscient and bla bla bla.. But do you know that He is with you because He chose and desire to be with you? Yes, YOU!! He identifies and treats his children individually not by groups, family, church or country.
In John 16:7, He said before departing to heaven; unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. Meaning, He died on the cross so that He can be with us all the time to fellowship with us.
Looking at the cross from another angle, He sacrifices His life to be with us all time! We always wish our boyfriend or husband would leave everything behind to spend time with us which determines his love for us.. But here God did even before we could ask Him. He let go his life to spend time with us.
He takes each of us personally. Each of us is given Holy Spirit to be the Counsellor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener and to standby ( to be with).
Nothing is closer to us than our thoughts. Therefore, if we fill our mind with the Lord, it will bring Him into our consciousness and we will begin to enjoy a fellowship with Him that will bring joy, peace, and victory to our everyday life. He is always with us as he promised! (Matt 28:20; Heb.13:5)(Joyce Meyer, Battlefield of the mind, pg 195)
I know sometimes when the real time pain/scenario knocks the door, faith is shaken. No matter what happens, we must always claim that He is in charge and surrender the problem/matter in His hands. We have to believe He will take care and whatever it takes; its the best for me. True enough God will only gives the best to His Children.
I have personally experienced His blessings in my life that makes me thank Him everyday!
So believe, claim, live a victorious life and be happy!!
God is with us... He is the alpha and omega !
P/s: the 2nd thing I've learned, il write it soon.

Easter - Selfless
Selfless means concerned more with the needs and
wishes of others than one's own or unselfish.
Disappointments
and hurt by the loved ones hurts more than any other. Have you experienced it?
Especially when loved ones did not choose to appreciate the sacrifices done for
the sake of love and did not try understand but rebels or fight against whatever
said and done, this hurts deeply. In every relationship its cycle that you will
come upon after all the hard works and sacrifices is not appreciated.
"No matter
how much I do; he/she is never satisfied", "So, why do I have to
continue?" I do have my own interest! I do have my own wishes and
needs!" These questions will start to raise.. From deep down, the heart
sigh all men/women are the same!! Maybe I shouldn't get myself into this at
all!!
When problem
arises, when heart is hurt and disappointment comes; do you realize you start
thinking selfishly? What about my feelings? What about my needs and wishes?
I pondered on
these and asked the Holy Spirit to teach me. The one thing came into my mind
and heart was Jesus on the cross.
Jesus loved us so
much that he healed the sick, He turned the water into wine, He opened the eyes
of the blinds, He raised a man from the dead, and He even kneeled and pleaded
to God for us.
Jesus did all
these for ONE reason; LOVE. But, Jesus was condemned by Romans, Peter; his
disciple denied knowing Him and Judas betrayed Him for money.. Does all these
sounds familiar? Always being condemned even when the best is given. Betrayal,
the trust just goes into the drain..
But, Jesus was
hurt, stoned, accused but beyond the pain He carried on the cross He did not
once got angry or disappointed. He did so much out of love for the people yet
He did not curse them but He said;
Father, forgive
them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23:34 (NIV). Praise the
Lord His mercy endures! How beautiful is His love for us?
You may ask what
do I get in the end for loving and doing good just pain? Earthly you may not
gain anything worth but more importantly you will gain in eternity, in heaven.
Remember
everything on earth is meaningless well said in Ecclesiastes.
LOVE means
SELFLESS!!
