Reality vs Truth

Reality vs Truth

The reality shows and tells us that true love never happens. Marriage will always be broken. Divorce is normal. Pre marital sex is okay. Waiting is vain. Sex for Christians is ugly. Pursue happiness. Follow your heart. Loving God above any relationships, above any person closest to us, above our own desires and dreams is lame.

The reality has made us believe that beautiful things never last, and that we should grab every opportunity to be happy while it is there. Reality has taught us not to sacrifice for it will be our loss. It tells us that patience will cause us to miss wonderful things in life.

I believed this reality because this is the reality. I pursued happiness my own way. I didnt wait, grabbed happiness that came along my way as I didnt want to miss good things. Such a beautiful lie that had become a truth… until this led me to be broken. In pursuit of finding true love my way- to be wounded, be healed, be hurt again had been a cycle. 

Then, I allowed Jesus to finally rescue me. Things have never been the same. In Jesus, I have learned the truth. Everyday, new things are revealed. Beyond the reality is the truth. The truth is I am a child of God. True love exists as what GOD did and is doing. John 3:16 tells us how God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit conspired to show me what true love is. While I was sinning, Christ died for me (Romans 5:8). Jesus came to give me life and have it to the full (John 10:10), and that authentic happiness can be eternal (only with Him and in Him). I learned to sacrifice, to say NO to temporary happiness for sufferings at the present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed (Romans 8:18). Waiting is never vain for I choose what is good on the long run. Greater things are always ahead. To be impatient is missing God’s best. If God didnt spare His own Son for me, how much more such things I desire that are too little. 

My heart is precious that I should have my mind lead, guard and protect it. My heart should be set apart for Jesus first, and second to the man I am to give it at the right time.

It is God that has put the desires in my heart, and it is He who will fulfill my desires. 

Above all, putting God first, will make every other things in my life beautiful (Ecc. 3:11). 

Now, I believe Truth is stronger than reality. God is Truth. God is greater than reality. He is great and capable enough that He even conquered death which is real for all of us. He can do all things for nothing is impossible for Him. 

If nothing is impossible with Him, then I believe He will bring me the man I desire which He, too desires for me. I believe in marriage, in true love and love that lasts forever for it is my God who created these and He, Himself is Love and He is Eternal.

No circumstance is bigger than my God. Nothing is too great for Him to handle.

Reality is so real… but the Truth, God’s Word will always remain, it will never fade (Matthew 24:35).

Why is that we think:

Of all the things God has no clue about it’s ROMANCE. That it’s either He would grant you Singleness OR! Even worse! By placing forever on your side A BEAST.

It’s easy for us to entrust our salvation, finances, career, and health to God but when it comes to choosing a mate we doubt His choice for us. We’d rather take this matter on our hand rather than waiting on God to bring the right person He stored for us.

It’s because we didn’t truly know the character of God. The TRUTH is… GOD is LOVE. God is the Author of Romance. He is the Greatest Lover of All. He is the Perfect Match-Maker. It is He who designed marriage.

Women are always tempted to be iniators, robbing men of their qualities. We may think this is just an issue of this generation but this started on the time of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Remember the mess that was made when Eve took the initiative by offering Adam the forbidden fruit, and Adam, instead of standing as her protector, responded and sinned along with her. It was chaotic ever since. We always want to get hold of things and control them. 

Some may say, “It was worth the risk” or “We’re both glad it worked out that way.”

Ladies, you don’t want to go to war unprotected as men are. Let us not rob men of their qualities to initiate, pursue and lead. Those are important to them. Do not take things on your hand, but walk by faith. God is not limited by our circumstances or surroundings. He is capable of bringing a man into your life in the most unlikely way, in the most unlikely place, and He doesn’t need your help (Pslam 57:2).

Men, save your heart as well. You don’t want to get it crushed over and over. Say “I love you” when you are ready to follow it with “Will you marry me?” This is to avert from pain and confusion.

We would be amazed to see you displaying the character of Christ. And as Christ woos the heart of His Bride the Church, we also desire to see you rise to the challenge of winning the heart of the women you love over time. We hope to see you become the heroic protector you are created to be.

Reflect on the design of the Designer. There is a pleasure in doing things in the proper order. God’s intention is not to harm you but to spare you from things He doesn’t want you to experience.

Trust your heart to God. Give Him the pen of your Love story. If He beautifully scripted your Salvation, He would do well the same with your love life. 

When God is at the center of your life, everything else will fall into place.

Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer)
said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.







 


 







 








In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.








 








Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.







 


 







 








Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.







 


 







 








‘Jesus’







 


 







 








PS: If it was a joke, you would have sent it to everyone.
So are you going to have courage to send this?.







 








I have done my part, Jesus said

I will also be embarrassed about you before my father.’







 








You are my 8 in 8 seconds. I am not breaking this. No way!







 








I’M TOLD THIS WORKS!!!!! Bishop T.D. Jakes ‘8 Second Prayer.’ Just repeat this prayer and see how God moves!!







 








‘Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus’ name. Amen.’

Being single at this moment of my life is a chance that I can just walk in the rainy night alone with You, Jesus. Feeling the coldness of the breeze and just enjoying the rain with You there is nothing more to ask for.
Others may think I’m boring, to some I’m loner. But I say, this moment deserves more than the ten gold stars, more than the most expensive stone. They don’t know how much fun of being with You alone they have already missed.
I want to get wet of the tears of love You have for me. I want to dance with You in the rainy night. I’m savouring this intimate moment. With You alone, I am satisfied, I am complete.
Jesus, I love You more than just this rainy night. I love You more than just this sweet-intimate moment. I love You because right now I just love You.

Dear God!    

You just exactly know the desires of my heart. Thank you for creating the oceans, mountains, seas, water, sand, fish, air and everything. I am so delighted of your creation. The truth that you made them for me makes me feel really special.  

 God, I have a wish..;-) And that is to go to Dubai and enjoy in Burj al Arab hotel. It is so beautiful. Now, I want to be an interior designer, or an architect or an engineer. Or be all of them…  If I were a billionare and if I had enough time for all of these, I’m gonna try these all.    

I want to eat in a restaurant there where I can see school of fish. I want to dress just like one of the executives (so as not to be left out with the people there! ambitious sakon Lord? hehehe). I want to scuba dive and swim with the fish (but I think I have to learn how to dive first…the real diving). I want to see the sunset from the 27th floor of the hotel… Hmmm, what about a wedding?  My wedding…(too big for me, yet too chicken for You! ). Knock my feet, Lord, Cmon…(just kidding… but halfly I meant that!).   

 Lord, will I be able to go there? Well, I pray. I really want to see its atrium,the escalator, and every details of it. It gives me an idea of what would my home look like one day, with honeycomb as its concrete. Everything in it drives me to really work. So as to enjoy there with my family.   

So much to ask, yet so much to be thankful for. 

Lord, continue to bless my family and friends especially those closest to my heart who really need it the most at the moment. Give strength to those who are weak, endurance to those who feel like giving up, good health to those who are sick or who feels sick, and every help for their every needs. Bless them because I love them. Let them feel you amazing and unfailing love.

He has been there from the beginning, and He won’t let me go.
He has brought me so far and there’s no turning back.

Hope you spare a moment of your time watching this. It’ll be worth it. :)

 I have seen this like twenty times. Still it pierces my heart again and again.

I have seen what He can do

I have seen Him make miracles and hopeless dreams come true

He made the Heavens and the stars

And everything

Come on how hard could it be for Him to make my wishes be real?

What I desire is nothing compared to what He did on the Cross.
