It's never easy

"Give up your rights and you will gain everything!", "Total surrender demands that we come with no agenda, no pre-set conditions - giving Him permission to bend us, break us and change us."

Sab: It won't make sense to the non-believers, weren't life supposed to be occupy by people ourselves? However, there are some circumstances that are way beyond our control. Take a look at the prayer content, it perfectly tells the difficulty that I'm dealing with my life this moment. What else can I do except waiting? No, nothing. No matter how badly I want to take the courses I've planned.
-

Lord, I am tired of trying to live life in my own power. Right now, I give up and surrender my life completely to You. I choose Your plan over mine. I give You permission to mold me and make me what You want me to be. I will wait before You and seek Your direction. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Inside out

God Himself supervised our formation. We were created in love - for love - with a specific and holy purpose in mind.

'Are you embracing the "you" God intended you to be or are you trying to be the woman you and others think you should be? You are uniquely gifted by God to serve God. Celebrate His perfect plan for your life!'

When our lives are broken, when the plan falls apart and everything seems to go wrong, we need to wait on God, knowing He created us, know us best and loves us most.


Sab: Even it's hard for me to admit, but inner beauty is much more important when i look at a person. Disgusted by the people thinks girls with HEAVY make up are pretty.

Devotion quotes begins

Sab: This blog is going to be my devotion blog. Sometimes I found some great quotes I have nowhere to save it. Definitely won't re-read the daily devotion emails, and I've been loving the design of this blog but never update like I always do in xanga, now I'm making good use of it.

“God gives us struggle, so we will cast our cares on God… [and] He wants to make us see our genuine faith in Him through trials and struggles”. - Kaywhy's blog

When our lives are broken, when the plan falls apart and everything seems to go wrong, we need to wait on God, knowing He created us, knows us best and loves us most.

God undoubtedly has plan for us, but we misunderstand the character and heart of God when we assume those plans serve as a punishment or penalty for not being good enough.
