Moments with my First Love [UNDER REVISION]

MOMENT 7: Great Encourager

How are you today? :)

Is something that keeps on bothering you?
Is there something within your heart that makes you feel sad?
Are you feeling down and discouraged because something happened?

You maybe fighting a serious battle at this very moment.
You maybe crying out to God for so long to bring you out from an impossible situation.
You maybe so tired to remain optimistic that one day, you'll see the rainbow after the rain.
It is indeed difficult to see good out of your trials. It seems unending.

But I want you to know this Good News:
God is a God of Encouragement!

Isaiah 51:2 I am the LORD, the one who encourages you. Why are you afraid of mere humans? They dry uo and die like grass.

In your doubt moments, draining moments, weak moments-God is your Encourager!

Whenever you think yourself too little, He reminds you that He sees you as Highly Favored. His beloved. His dear child.

Daniel 9:23 says "God thinks highly of you..."

Remember: There's a difference between being humble and belittling yourself.

Humble people are those who are overcomer but they give all the credit to Jesus and never for themselves. They acknowledge that everything they have and what they had is from and for God alone.

People who belittles themselves are those who think of themselves so small. Remember that when you belittle yourself, you also belittle God!
It is like saying that God cannot make something great in your life. That He cannot make you victorious.

You must think of yourself about how God thinks of you! God says that He should be the one that we should fear. He is the one who controls everything. He is the one who created the world. He is the one in charge of every single thing, of every circumstance, of every detail.

You see? We have a greater world outside this planet, yet you are the most precious creation of the Lord! He cares for you the most!

Our eyes can only focus on one thing. When we fix our eyes on humans, we cannot see God but if we fix our eyes on God, we cannot see humans.

Don't be afraid of humans who critizes you, who judges you, who laughs on you, who throws you insults, who see and finds wrongs in you because by doing so, you will begin to please them.

Fear makes you fall. Pleasing other people is one key to FAILURE.

Remember this formula:
Human = Human
God > Human

Today, God is encoraging you to remain steadfast through all this challenges. Keep holding on His promise that He will always be with you through the fire, through the storms or even to a place where it seems dead end. Don't give up!

He knows your situation and He already has a way out for you. You are an overcomer! You can do all through through Christ who gives you strength!

Trust Him! And remember what He said in Hebrews 13:5 I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Let's Pray? :)

Dear Lord,
You are my Great Encourager. You are my Deliverer. Thank You for caring about my feelings and every detail of my life.
I pray that may You continue to hold me and make me trust you all the more as I am going through this situation I am in. Help me to trust you more that you are doing this for a purpose and for my own good and for You glory. I pray that my eyes will aleays see your goodness even at the midst of bad situations
Thank You Lord. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Shalom!
To God be all the Glory! :)
