THE WAITING ROOM!

The most difficult place to be in the world is to be in the waiting room, where you are in hurry but God isn't.

when you are in the season of waiting in life, you encounter all kinds of negative thoughts; you feel anxious, worried, sad, tired, irritated, envious and the list of emotions goes on.

It appears as if your prayers are being ignored or maybe there is no God.

initially, you hope for the way out but gazing perilously at the chronometer pulls off the anticipated longing within you. But the actuality is God is backing you, He is isn't resting so that you can.

God has a timetable for everything that happens in our life, nothing occurs without his knowledge, Ecclesiastes 3;1 says,

To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven:” 

so there is time set for everything. God may give directions but he doesn't give details, with the intention that we humans never lose the desire to know the future. And the preeminent grounds for not announcing the timetable is because he wants us to trust him. we need to be cognizant of the fact-God is never in a hurry and is never late, but he is always on time.  

God's timing is not always convenient for us because when You least expect he shows up with surprises and sometimes the blessing has totally different packaging than what you've ordered, yet he guarantees the quality and satisfaction. 

In Isaiah 60: 22 God says those who wait on him shall never be ashamed and in his right time he will answer us quickly, And if God does things quickly then why we have delays in life? -the reason for this is :

•   God is testing your faith  or  He is trying to build your character, 

 and that's because the blessings are too much for you to handle at present. He is preparing the promise for you and at the same time preparing you for the promise while you wait on him. A DELAY IS NOT A DENIAL! When a child demands something but on hearing " not yet " from its parents loses its temper and starts wailing on the ground because of the immature understanding but as mature people we need to grasp the knowledge that God would never keep the best from us, He didn't even spare his only son for us then why would he keep us from having the best in life.

let's turn our focus from the clock to the one who schedules the movement of the universe.❤

 So the waiting room is not just a difficult place but a place of transformation that would build you into someone your mature self will be proud of. 

This advent season is waiting on God,  trusting in God who is with us, in a God who will emerge in our lives. We wait expecting God’s arrival. We do not know when God will show up. but surely  God will bring the good things we desire in his time. 

let us take whatever need we have, whatever good desire we have, whatever hope we have, and entrust it to God's care and believe He who is faithful will act upon our waiting in his perfect and good time.

as we wait in trust, that we who place our trust in God will not be disappointed!

 Knowing "yourself'' in HIM💗💗

ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO KNOW YOUR IDENTITY?

Knowing yourself is the key to know GOD!Until and unless you know your worth you cannot know who truly God is. And with the biblical and practical understanding of your self you will be better equipped to live your life to the glory of God.Most of us struggle in this area, as we grow up we look for validations from the world, we seek acceptance and in the process of matching the worldy standards we lose ourself.We often forget our true identity, as the lens of the world that we borrow to look from focuses more on the criterion validity set by the world. Know what bible says about you " But you are not like that, for you are chosen people.You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession.As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light."1peter2:9 wow! Thats an awakening verse isn't it?So all you need to do is return back the borrowed lances and put on God's magnificent glasses👀.

Watch out! The language of the world is contradictory to God. Even I have had lots of inferior complexities, and I struggled a lot to overcome it, and I would say this struggle is as real as any other struggle, and at times I felt I was not good enough and was of no use. I was bombarded with all such thoughts that made me overwhelmed with sadness, and it was all because of the choice I made as I grow up, the choice of making the world my mirror, and lately I realised the mirror that I picked was crooked. Although when I initiated making my creator my mirror, roles were reversed and since then, again and again I am being reminded by the holy spirit of my worth, that I was fearfully and wonderfully made(psalms13:14), God took handful of time to create me and I was created in his own image and likeness (gen-1:26), and this changed everything.

There is an episode in the bible where peter, one of the Jesus'disciples saw him walking on water and asked Jesus to let him walk along, and when Jesus said "come," He began walking on water. I always use to think what was this episode all about( matthew 14 :22-33).Why did Jesus walk on water?Okay, because He was God but why did peter walked? He was just a man like me and you, but then the revelation came to me that through this episode actually God wanted to show what humans can do, so there is absolutely nothing we cannot do. He has created us in such a powerfull design. He chose, ordained and called us before the creation of the world, the first thought that he had was you and me when he thought of creating the universe. And even when we felt short of his glory, he laid his life and redeemed us. That is how precious you are in his sight, he loved you at your darkest.You were chosen before you were created in your mothers' womb(Jeremiah 1:5) and you have been sent on earth with a divine purpose. You are not just here to make a change but to be a change, You are best ofwhat God created. The body that you carry is designed by God ,the soul that is in you is desired by God. So do not dwell on your short-comings and do not dwell on your faults. Why should you dwell on negativity and limitation when God doesn't mind your imperfections? Instead, dwell upon your innate perfection. Contemplate the part of you made in the image & likeness of God,and claim your bright-right. For when you know yourself as God's child you become empowered.With all you have inside so today make it your purpose to know yourself.For within you is hidden the treasure of treasures.💖

Your identity is in Christ!

What faith looks like ?

What faith looks like ? 

The first thing we need to know is what faith is, bible says faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it .

Are we rooted in faith today ?

 This is the question we should ask more often to ourselves, the answer would be yes but not always. bible ask us to rejoice always ,the verse goes like "Rejoice in the lord always ,i say again rejoice in the lord,phillipians 4:4" do we do that ?.. start practicing the Lord’s words in real life and stop setting  aside His words and  acting based on your will and personal likes.  
Anybody can trust God when things are good, learn trusting him when evrything falls apart .This is something God has taught me , there was a time in my life when nothing felt right ,i felt so worthless and all i could see was closed doors , dissapointments, betrayal and top of that loneliness was creating a void in me, the world was so good at making me feel how miserable was I . .... i started surrending all my burdens on the lord and got myself diving into his holy words and believing  God's promises  and... that was the moment that magic did happen, God spoke to me how precious i was to him and turned everything that the enemy meant for evil into good! ... He(God) started  demolishing the picture that the world was trying to paint on my heart, and showed me ..how my 
FAITH TOOK OVER DOUBT! 
God was pleased with Abraham's faith  ,even when he couldnt see  the promises taking place into reality ,He chose to trust on the Lord irrespective of the picture the world was trying to show him ..may be  back then he was flooded with lots of questions ,rather than seeking the answers he walked in faith ..in that way today we dont know what our future is holding but we know who's holding it . sometimes its not  important to know every detail of your circumstances and the answers of all your 'why's ,the only thing that matters is who is on our side .The one who (God ) is holding the entire universe in his hands cant be ignorant of you. Remember that!
trust your creator! He knows better how to protect his creation and make the best out of it.

FAITH WORKS.
