Our sorrow, is turning into joy...

 Jeremiah 31:25

"For I have given rest to the weary and joy to the sorrowing."

God is so merciful, He allows us to go through painful and unpleasant experiences, to strengthen us, equip and prepare us for what He has for us in the future. The beauty about it, is that the seasons do change. When He deems us ready, He allows us to go into a new season, where He refreshes us, give us our strength back and turn our mourning into dancing/ joy. Psalm 30:11 says: "You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,". In life, we go through difficult situations but there is always hope at the end of the tunnel. It so happen that someone very dear to me that I've recently lost, happened to be their birthday today and that brough some emotions. But this verse is encouraging me that God, my Comforter is going to turn the rough season I'm going through into joy. He will turn the sorrow I feel into joy. 

This is why we need to hold on to Him, things happen that we don't agree with or would want to experience, but because He is so merciful, He stands right beside us and feel our pain, and wipe away those tears. Luke 7:13 shows us the heart of God, this verse says: "...When Jesus saw the funeral procession and heard the mother sobbing, He was moved with compassion. “His heart went out to her” This shows us that when we go through difficult times, Jesus sees and it does touch Him, He becomes compassionate towards us and it is no wonder that what will follow thereafter, will be His comfort, in whichever way He sees fit.

Hence, let us run to Him with our broken hearts, tears and sorrowful hearts; He is always there to receive and comfort us. He is our Father and cares so deeply for us.

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
