"Do not let your hearts be troubled. TRUST in GOD; TRUST also in ME." -John 14:1
What causes a troubled heart ?
We always dream of a perfect life. We dream of having a happy and peaceful living.
But this life isn't perfect. This life, is a "roller coaster ride."
One day, we may wake up in a very comfortable and happy life. This makes our hearts be at peace. The other day, we may wake up with a life full of problems, full of struggles, full of challenges. This makes our hearts become troubled.
The reality that life offers two faces, the positives and negatives, is unescapable.
We are not destined to face the POSITIVITIES alone, we are meant to face the NEGATIVITIES also.
Our hearts may be troubled because of some financial struggles.
Our hearts may be troubled because of a broken relationship.
Our hearts may be troubled because of all the failures in school.
Our hearts may be troubled because of hurts and frustrations.
But let me ask you this,
Are these reasons the real reason why our hearts became troubled?
Probably not.
Our hearts are troubled because we let our hearts become troubled.
Yes, we don't have the ability to control life's circumstances. But, we can always control our selves.
JESUS said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled..."
It's our choice whether we let our hearts be troubled, or we let it not.
But Jesus reminded us to choose the positive one.
DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED.
We may ask , "How do we do this given all these circumstances ? "
The answer is,
Jesus added,
"TRUST GOD. TRUST ALSO IN ME. "
Trust.
Trust GOD that he will deliver you from whatever circumstances you are battling now. Know that wherever you are right now is not forever. Soon ,you will step out from that situation. And, as soon as you step out from that situation, you are not the 'YOU BEFORE' anymore.
You will be renewed!
Every challenges, every problem, every trial, has the power to change your whole life. It has the power to change YOU.
Believe that GOD let something to happen for a reason.
HE has the power to calm our troubled hearts.
Psalm 54:7 "For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes."
May your troubled hearts find its peace in the Lord.
