At some point in life; you realize what truly matters and what doesn’t. How people were brought into your life for a reason and don’t stay for as long as you want them to. You start to see a purpose and why you’re placed exactly where you are in life today. There will be times where everything may seem unclear but with time, it will all make sense to you. A verse that my late sis-inlove quoted to me all the time.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path”
Proverbs 3:4-5
Is the verse that I’ve always loved growing up but never truly understood it until my sis Cilla would always talk to me about it when I share my life experiences with her; so this verse has stood with me for a while, many times I found myself not agreeing to circumstances I faced in life; so many signs to let go of things or people, that I didn’t agree to and refused to accept.. I’ve been a person that always leaned on my own understanding when ever I didn’t agree to things that life threw upon me. Trying to force relationships to last, force a job to be a career when clearly it truly wasn’t, try to force a friendship when clearly it failed many times. If not forced I gave it many chances only for it to fail all over again. God has shown me so many signs in life that I refused to accept and at the end of it all, I always found myself fallen to my feet or curled up in tears crying out to God for his healing over my pain.
I always wondered how God would speak to people when they would share such stories of them hearing Gods calling; or them knowing that it was all Gods doings; I always found that so hard to comprehend.. up until one day I’ve chosen to completely surrender to Him and trust in Him. To finally not lean on my own understanding but to trust in Gods plans for me. It was then where I realized and discovered that what would have ripped me apart and have me fall into a deep depression? No longer had that control over me. I found a new sense of happiness; a happiness I never realized I’ve been longing for. A happiness I never really understood. The happiness of Gods everlasting Love♥️ For me and everyone! Slowly but surely everything I wished to have had slowly fell into place as I continued to accept His plans for me; some parts weren’t easy to accept for myself but was a blessing for others; and some parts were more than a blessing and more than I could ever ask for. Gods timing seemed perfect in so many ways through this experience that who am I to even question what happens next? I don’t even care to lean on my own understanding for the most part because I know it will just crumble and fail lol and leave me broken. Today I stand here with career ahead of me, a roof over my head, clothing on my back, food on the table, a huge family for support, a much stronger relationship with God; and most of all, Gods unconditional love that covers me every day of my life.
I am only human and prone to the sinful ways of this world, but I hope to become stronger in my faith and walk with God as time goes by. With that being said … As my late sis inlaw Cilla would say .. Choose Love Always 💚 Fly High My Sis thank you for being a vessel to Gods love and a great example to us all! This one’s for you!
