You Still Matter

“I remember when I was so lost in life & believed that God didn’t want anything to do with me, because I kept failing Him. I believed the lies that God didn’t love me because I wasn’t “Christian enough” or my past kept me from having a solid relationship with God. I was ashamed & fed myself those lies as I let them manifest in my heart & mind. I actually started to believe that I wasn’t good enough to experience God’s love. I believed that God stopped listening to me because well I didn’t think He was answering my prayers “according to my timing”. I couldn’t hear His voice. I felt like this dry season of my life wouldn’t ever end. But it did. I continued to seek God even though I couldn’t hear nor feel Him. It was in that dry season, I learned to continue seeking after Him. I learned that the lies I believed were nothing but the enemy & my own insecurities. I allowed myself to throw a pity party. I beat myself up rather than speak life.

But believe it or not, God wanted me. Broken, beaten, weary, tired, hurting. He wanted all of me, not just when my life was going well. He wanted me to know I matter. He loved me. He wouldn’t fail me. He believed in me. He wanted to strengthen me. To give me courage. To feed my soul with things this earth couldn’t even come close to offer. He wanted give me rest. To comfort me. He wanted me to know I wasn’t alone. That He would always be there for me. He wanted me. Every piece of me. Broken and all. He wanted me because I mattered that much to Him.”

You Will Find Rest

What to say, when we don’t know what to say? What to do, when we don’t know what to do? Where to go, when it seems like there’s no way out?

noah-silliman-204992

I know things can get hard, I know life ain’t easy, sometimes things just won’t be the way we planned, but there’s a promise for us.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” – Matthew 11:28-30

You will find rest for your soul, in this life. Believe, this is possible. You can find peace, you will find a reason to live, to fight, a reason to have strength and face whatever.

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. – Isaiah 41:10

Don’t fear. Reach out to God, give Him a chance. Give Him a chance to take care of you. To take care of your problems, your dreams, your sadness – feelings in general… if you’re feeling weak, He can make you strong. Believe this.

Today I’m facing one of the saddest days in my life. I actually don’t know how I’m here writing this, but God’s words healed my life once, so I really thought I could help someone else, sharing this verses. My heart goes out to everyone in pain, to every single person battling depression or any mental illness.

Please don’t go, you matter, you’re worth more than anything, your soul is so precious. There’s a place you can go, there’s always someone to reach out. There’s always someone who cares and loves you, and even if you don’t feel that way, Your Heavenly Father cares, and He has a plan for you.

There’s a God, there’s so much more. There’s life beyond how you’re feeling right now, and your life is a gift.

May God comfort people who are going through the pain of a tragic loss. May God comfort your heart. Stay strong.

I wish I had more words to say.

Enjoy every second of life. Live well, sharing moments with those you love. Sharing the best you can, doing the best you can. Life is so fragile, it can go when we less expect. Live.

Don’t Allow It

What are certain types of emotions?

Evil always strikes at your emotions, you are always bombarded in this area. Evil attacks your heart, attacks your mind so you won’t accept what comes from God. Prevents what you can be, deceives you, makes you forget what God really thinks about you. Do not allow it.

Know that God is present, believe, this it is not a matter of feeling, it is not a matter of merit, but this is about knowing. Knowing that God wants your faith, nothing more, nothing less.

Learn: God exists. God exists and He is greater than all. I do not deny my reality, but there is a greater reality. God lives and that is enough, do not let yourself be overwhelmed by feelings (that will come, and there is no way to stop them).

But be the living word, do not let God stop the work that He began in you. Eternal truth guides you.

Emotions are not eternal, do not let yourself be guided by what is not eternal.

Wrong type of emotions stagnate, emotions are inconstant, it change all the time, please don’t depend on it. Let God operate in you, and you’ll see the difference.

Do you take yourself seriously?

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

There’s one thing I’ve always wanted to control in my life: the way people “looked at me”, what they thought, their opinion about me – then you tell me, “Deise, that’s impossible” because, yes, it is, I understand it today, but at that time, no one could convince me otherwise – I thought I could and it caused me a lot of pain and confusion.

I have a very proper way of being, I recognize this, and I know that my personal choices weren’t/aren’t easy, so I paid a very high price…

My heart didn’t want to believe that where I wanted to be, was no longer my place. That those people I lived with, didn’t love me enough, they didn’t care enough, or wanted me the way I deserved. That feeling had haunted me for a long time, influenced me in a lot of “bad decisions” during my journey, gave me “bad thoughts” about myself, but you know, I came to the conclusion that living like this was not worth it.

I could not, I can not, and I just won’t control others’ opinions about me!

I kept thinking for a long time that nobody took me seriously – then I thought “how much does that affect me?” “Do I take myself seriously”?

Just because someone does not value you, you should not think you’ve lost or diminished your value. It may sound cliché, but believe me, whoever needs to give you value and importance it is you!

Take yourself seriously: do what you love, don’t lose your voice, share your opinion, love who you are, try to be your best, discover your talents and develop them, change what you need to change, take your own time… LOVE YOURSELF, TREAT YOURSELF.

“Live your life, live your life, let the love inside
It’s your life, it’s your life, your beauty’s deep inside, inside you
Don’t let ‘em bring you down, no, the beauty is inside you
Don’t let ‘em bring you down, no.” – Chris Brown in his song, Beautiful People.

I believe in a God who loves me, who has better answers for me, who takes care of me, and that if I remain, the victory that He has for me will be great, WILL BE MINE! Don’t lose your life trying to please others, respect them, love them, but be yourself.
