Reminders

It's so refreshing when the cover of grey clouds is pierced with the blade of sunshine:) I love that view.
So often we are clouded with different hard questions which are not being answered, worries of life or our heart, difficulties and trials in our lives. I have to say it is not my favourite time of the season. I feel down, I miss sun, I miss light, I miss blue sky... When I look at it in these good times, it feels as if I can see my King and Saviour there walking around and smiling, and delighting in us. When I look at the grey sky with these big heavy clouds, it seems that gates of heaven are shut forever... But God established shifts between night and day, and we do not have dark periods for eternity. Praise the Lord for that! He always reminds us that He is the loving father, and just King. Today, finally, His love and might has got through the clouds of my life reminding me that I still am His beloved daughter, His redeemed child. He reminded me of what He told me 7 years ago when we had our first real conversation. When I suddenly heard His voice saying that only He is to be the foundation of my life because He is the same yesterday, today and forever, because His love for me never changes... That was the happiest day of my life, just I didn't understand at that time. And it is not that I didn't know about all this. It's just that sometimes knowing is not everything. Sometimes you just don't see how He works or the way He works is not the way you think things should go. This makes you feel as if He's somewhere thousands miles away, and doesn't care about you being in the pit of dispair, anxiety, etc. But He is always there, trying to tell you that He is right here, on your left or right, or even standing and looking at your face. We only have to lift up our eyes and look to the hills ... and hearts as well. I love God:) I love Holy Spirit:) It is really good at reminding the great works God did for you, blessings that were poured out, and promises that were given. It reminds us about God's faithfulness and love for everyone. EVERYONE. No one is excluded even the worst of all. And one big reminder is that Jesus did died on the cross and that the tomb is empty. It looks like this truth is penetrating my mind in this season of my life. My heart has already given up, but my mind is still in the battle field sometimes (I guess, there will always be a season for that). Anyway, I want to make a reminder in big letters and stick it on the walls of my house that everytime things will get on the edge of desperation, I would see it

Ponder no more. Just live the live you were given...
