Bitterness is a habit that can seriously hinder our spiritual journey. When life becomes difficult, when it doesn't seem as if God is providing for our needs, when we're not getting what we want when we want it, we have a decision to make.
We can hold onto our faith and trust that God has an answer in mind, or we can gripe and moan and complain and let our souls become embittered.
Expecting an oasis, but finding a bitter stream? Don't lose sight of the grace of God.Just cling to Him and He will see you through. Instead Commit your way to Him, trust in Him & He will act (Psalm 37:5 - Holy Bible).
Are you living your life to the fullest? Today,so many people have lost that enthusiasm they were once excited about., their future, their dream, all because somewhere along the way, they hit some road blocks. Things didn't work out and so they quit.They lost their purpose. Don't let that be you! You are Unique,Talented and Capable of doing great things in your life. This blog will challenge your thoughts and motivate you,inspire and help you rise up and move on in Life.

God will never Abandon us
{This is a short reflection based on the gospel of Mathew Chp 6:24-34}
We are all simple human beings.It is natural for all of us to worry and be anxious about our future.At the time of Jesus,the apostles also looked at their future and were afraid.Jesus knew their fears and today He also knows our fears and consoles us with words such as these:
Do you think that God will leave you alone-a God who cares for the birds of the sky and the flowers of the field? Will He cease to care for you, who is so precious in His eyes?
Do not worry about being a "success" in my service. I have not called you to a career. I have called you to a way of life-the life of bringing God to the world you face each day.If you do that, I will take even your failures and make them successes.
Don't worry about the future. Stay with me in your every today and let the next tomorrow take care of itself.If today you are with me, I will take care of your future.
Jesus knows that inspite of all His promises and assurances, we will still worry and so He adds this line: Can any of you add a day to your life by worrying about it? (Mt 6:27)
True my dear friends, Jesus wants us to be free, not of concerns but of all worries,in order to serve Him.
Seek the kingdom of God first and all things shall be added unto you.....Mt 6:33.
God bless+

Stay Positive in times of crisis
Just as songs are as happy or sad as the listener, a moment is as happy or sad as the person living it. What you hear, what you see, and what you think depends a great deal on how you feel when you hear, see or experience something. Your truth is in your mind.
As Oscar Wilde once said, “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” The key is to remain positive even when times are less than ideal. Look for the silver lining, and walk the line, step by step, until you get your mind out of the gutter. As you gradually begin to feel better and better, the things happening around you will seem better and better as well.

Troubled Times Push You Forward
Times of great difficulty are times of great opportunity. These times may not seem ideal at first, but they usually provide keen insight into ideas of great value. When you are surrounded by problems, you are simultaneously given an opportunity to provide valuable solutions.
When times are good and everything is comfortably in order, it’s easy to become complacent and forget how skillful and resourceful you are capable of being. Troubled times are necessary evils that push you forward, because they eventually end, and the lessons and strengths you gain from them last a lifetime.

Stop complaining and feeling sorry for yourself.
Life’s curveballs are thrown for a reason – to shift your path in a direction that is meant for you. You may not see or understand everything the moment it happens, and it may be tough. But reflect back on those negative curveballs thrown at you in the past. You’ll often see that eventually they led you to a better place, person, state of mind, or situation. So smile! Let everyone know that today you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday, and you will be.

FREEING YOURSELF
Sometimes we pay too much of attention into trying to control every tiny aspect of our lives.We must learn to let go, relax and ride the path that life takes us to. Trying something new, taking a chance, but above all, smiling and enjoying the scenery.
Freeing yourself from trying to control the insignificant things lets you experience more of the good things around you. The greatest joys in life are often the unexpected surprises that arrive when you are flexible and open to life’s twists and turns.

Difficuties make you grow stronger
After each difficulty you faced in the past was overcome, you became stronger and more able to meet the ones you face today. Likewise, the difficulties you face today are preparing you for the challenges of tomorrow. As this process of growth takes place remember that there are no mistakes.
The events you bring upon yourself as you journey forward, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary steps in order to learn what you need to know to reach the places you’ve chosen to go.
