Don't Cut the String

Could it be better without the string?

Well-respected Filipino preacher and author  Bo Sanchez once mentioned in his article that we, humans  are like that kite whereas God is the boy flying the kite. The string represents our relationship with Him. There were times we feel that the string is holding us back and so we want the string be cut off so that we can live our lives on our own terms. For a time, perhaps it feels good.  We  can soar higher because we’re free. However, in due time we will come crashing down destroying ourselves.

The message: Don’t let the string be cut. Remain in our relationship with God. In other words, we have to allow Him to love us. Like the boy flying the kite. God has vision for our lives: to be able to soar higher  - as high as we can possibly be.

I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly.  ~John 10:10

When God gives you a 'No,' give Him a 'Thank you.' He was protecting you from less than His best. ~ author unknown

Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. ~John 15:5

Waiting For You

This is how I felt  the past few days.  

And just like anybody, I need a reminder!

Faith... is the art of holding on to things your reason once accepted, despite your changing moods. ~C.S. Lewis

To succeed you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you. ~Tony Dorsett

The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you. ~author unknown

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. ~John 14:18

In His Time

We're in a hurry to achieve our  goals, our dreams. 
 But everything happens in due time, in God's time.

Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on Him who has all things safely in His hands. ~Elisabeth Elliott 

No one can look at a pine tree in winter without knowing that spring will come again in due time. ~Frank Bolles 

Remember all in due time. What God has for you is for you and no one else. Stop looking over at what the next person has. That person has walked their own path to get to where they are. You will get to your destination all in due time. ~Tamara Grant

He has made everything beautiful in its time …

for there shall be a time there for every purpose 

and for every work. ~Ecclesiastes 3:11,17

Believe in Yourself

"Your works are non-sense and you really don't matter at all"  I've heard the lady telling the boy. What a cruel  remarks! And guess what?  Many times, we meet people like her. Don't listen to them. Don't  believe in them because God knows our worth and  we do matter to Him!

Believe in yourself when others don't...

because GOD believes in You!

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. ~Norman Vincent Peale 

Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.~ Eleanor Roosevelt

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"

~Philippians 4:13
