My TOP 15 Journey With God Posts For 2014

2014 Journey With God TOP 15 Posts

In life we need encouragements everyday. We need someone or even WORDS that would give us a lift or push perhaps and motivate us to move on with life. Life is a journey. It has a lot of good things to remember, to cherish, but life has a lot of pains too. But if we know that there is SOMEONE somewhere, looking at us with great LOVE, with great mercy and grace I think there is no need for us to worry a lot about what life may throw at us. The most comforting truth is that the feeling remains that GOD is on the journey too....

So here are my TOP 10 posts from my JOURNEY WITH GOD FB page... Check this out..God bless! (Some photos courtesy by Tumblr & Pinterest)

SO LET'S START! ! !


15.   ."have you experienced or experiencing deep lacerations of the heart?---invisible internal injuries no surgeon in the world could detect?.....or perhaps you are moaning and crying from the pain of being misunderstood, mistreated, stabbed by someone's tongue who's talking bad and untruthful things about you?...people might and will never know your pains, but you will...as you endure the piercing....you keep quite and silently bleed..that you your soul can even hear its dripping.......Or probably you are living with scars brought on by past sins and failures, and you can't seem to forget about it eventhough you've already forsaken it..it still lingers"...

BUT...
...those gaping wounds we never thought would close, are gradually being healed with grace and unfailing love...

..(Tucked away in a quite corner of every life are wounds and scars...if they were not there...we would need no PHYSICIAN...we would need no HEALER...we would need no COMFORTER....we would need no SAVIOUR....nor would we need one another---Charles Swindoll)

....from now on, don't let anyone trouble me with these things. For I bear on my body the scars that show I belong to Jesus... (Galatians 6:17)

..WHO HAS NO WOUND NOR SCAR? ? (Charles Swindoll Devotional)

14. .. It is Father's desire to let us know that our lives were not a mistake. In Psalm 139:15-16, it says our frame was not hidden from God in the secret place for He saw our unformed body. He cared enough for each one of us, that He took the time to write down each one of our days in His book. Your yesterday was written in God's book. Your today and tomorrow is also penned by the loving hand of your Heavenly Father. You are not just a number in His eyes, but one that is incredibly unique with a special purpose. You were not an accident, for someone is watching over you who loves you more than you could ever know. (http://www.fathersloveletter.com/Devotionals/10_FLLdevotional.html) 

13. ...Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised..(Proverbs 31:30)

Remember! A beautiful woman without character is like a gold jewel in a pig's nose (Pr 11:22). The beauty of the small jewel cannot make the pig attractive or take away the horrible odor (Pr 27:15-16)!....A wise man will require the fear of the Lord. He will check her love of God, her devotion to Christ, her esteem of Scripture, and her willingness to be taught. He will measure how she takes correction, responds to hard preaching, and makes personal changes to please her Creator. He will look for that extreme devotion to the LORD that will turn to be his greatest asset, when she will love and serve her husband in spite of any troubles at home. He will check her prayer life, not her tan, her spirituality, not her cooking. 

12. "Ground breaking and cultivating the hearts of 100+ children at doljo, to sow seeds of God's Souvereign Word. though we patiently wait for the harvest, one thing that brings all of us hope, that we will reap fruitfully by God's grace." said Evamy Miole Alaban..

11...GOD is righteous in everything He does. He is able and willing to give all the desires of our hearts....With a faithful and genuine heart pray and ask, and believe it will be given unto you....and WHEN YOU PRAY-----PRAY WITH WISDOM..

...Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. (Psalm 37:5-6 NLT)

(During CYCM's Wednesday Fellowship tonight) 

10. .....Have you ever felt God nudge you to do something that was beyond your ability, experience, or education but talked yourself out of it saying, “The Lord would never ask me to do that.” Very often, that’s exactly what He requires of us because He knows that challenges increase our faith (Heb. 11:6). When, despite our fears and inadequacies, we respond in obedience, God not only equips us for the task but also lifts us up to a new level of faith..

9. Sometimes we get too caught up in finding another human's love that we forget about the most important love we already and will always have, the unconditional one given by God.

"God said: “You don’t have to worry about love. As long as I’m existing, you will be loved.”

8.  "Running away from your problems is a race you'll never win"

....Do you have a problem?...You're smiling at me. "A problem? Would you believe several dozen problems?" ......If you listen to the voices around you , you'll search for a substitute---an escape route...You'll miss the fact that each one of those problems is a God-appointed instructor ready to stretch you and challenge you and deepen your walk with Him. Growth and wisdom await you at the solution of each one, the pain and mess notwithstanding...

7. ."I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is."-Albert Camus.

...God doesn't force himself on anyone. He stands at the door and knocks it is our choice to let Him in or not. Now the trusting is for our own good not His. We will never realize all that He has done for us if we make the choice not to open our hearts and minds to receive His blessings...

6. "There may be pain in the night, But joy comes in the morning."Psalms 30:5

....I know what it's like to suffer overwhelming, emotional, pain. I know what it's like to wake up from a nightmare to a bigger nightmare, unable to do anything about the situation. There have been many times in my life, when every second seemed like an hour, and every hour like a day, and every day like a never ending eternity. At those times, the only friend I had in the world was the Word of God....Only Jesus Christ can make everything right, when life seems so wrong....sooo cry all the pains out, stop storing them inside, let the pains all out, weep, cry--- but don't stay there----rejoice---there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.....

5. ...the world sees only WHAT YOU DO, God sees WHY YOU DO IT...

“God loves you. It doesn't make any difference who you are and what you did. You can't keep Him from loving you. Now you can get into a place where you won't experience the love of God, when you put up an umbrella of sin, the sunshine of God's love sure won't fall on you. But it's still there for you.” (Pastor J. Vernon McGee (1904-1988)) 

4.  When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'. "Erma Bombeck"

"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10"

HOW DO YOU USE YOURS? ?
You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you...

3. "The only One who can truly satisfy the human heart is the One who made it"...

The heart without God is an empty hole that longs to be filled, but only God can fill the vacuum that exists....Some will come to God through His Son Jesus and find rest, while most will continue their vain attempts to fill the vacuum and satisfy the wicked heart. However, it is never filled. It is never satisfied. It keeps longing for more, and each demand gets greater with time.

2. ....Pressure has a Purpose! ! !..... Some things can only be produced through pressure. A diamond can only be formed through pressure. Gold can only be refined by pressure. If you’re under pressure today, it’s not about what’s happening to you, it’s about what God has put in you and what he’s bringing out of you. 2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”-Rev. Richard C. Whitcomb

1.  When you use your gifts and talents to help other people you discover a greater sense of purpose in life....

HOPE YOU LOVE THE COUNT DOWN! !
