You are Beautiful

You were never created to live depressed, defeated, 

guilty, condemned, ashamed or unworthy.

You were created to be victorious!

Darling,

Open your eyes, 

you are not made up of those words that hurt you, 

or that number on the scale, 

or the expectations that you feel you will never meet, 

you are made up of nothing more than you, 

simply, beautifully, wonderfully, uniquely you. 

You are a lovely & complex soul, 

an individually fascinating combination of thoughts, 

ideas, feelings, emotions, 

no other is as beautiful as you. 

Look past the mirror, look at your soul, 

only then you will see yourself 

as you truly are - B - E - A - U - T - I - F - U - L. 

So smile & don't forget to love yourself.

No beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart.

"A happy heart makes the face cheerful" - Proverbs 15:13

Never give up cause great things take time!

Being COOL vs. Seeking what really matters

So often we get caught up in the futility of life, thinking and acting like everyone else & seeking what doesn't really matter in life just because everyone is pursuing a status - a life that impresses only themselves and brings self-satisfaction - and then we feel like we are really chasing the wind!

What really matters to you?

"Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognise what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you." Romans 12:2

For me, what really matters is seeking Jesus with all my heart, having my relationship with Him getting closer and closer every day - nothing in this world will ever completely satisfy me if it's not His presence - the emptiness & futility of this world don't attract me but make me want to be closer to him.

Don't strive to fit into a certain group of people but be yourself and I'm 100% sure that you will draw the best people around you because you will pour out love into their lives and this is what really matters - His love being poured out into people's hearts! JESUS is what really matters! Do you love Him enough to say - take the world but give me Jesus? take everything that would take His place so that I can have Him more real in my life.. Would you say that?

SEEK what really matters!
and you'll find Him so ready to take your relationship with him to a whole nother level!

The more you know who He is - the more you know who you are.
Know your identity and stop chasing the wind!

#BringBackOurGirls

More than 200 girls were kidnapped in Nigeria while they were relaxing in their dorms at the Government Girls Secondary School by the terrorists which after having shot the guards, and setting fire to houses, drove off into the woods with nearly 300 of the girls.

We can't do everything but we MUST do something and here are some things that you can help with:

1- Prayers

2- Signing up the petition

3- Writing a letter of support and encouragement to the families of the girls that have been abducted.

Open Doors

SHUT UP the voice of injustice! #BringBackOurGirls Let's be a voice to the voiceless! We can fight & pray together!!

Trust HIM

Trust God from the bottom of your heart;

    don’t try to figure out everything on your own.

Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;

    he’s the one who will keep you on track.

Don’t assume that you know it all.

    Run to God! Run from evil!

Your body will glow with health,

    your very bones will vibrate with life!

- Proverbs 5-8 MSG -

Just TRUST HIM & learn to be content NOT 'when' but in all times - every circumstances
Even in your hardest time learn to have a grateful heart ready to bring praises to Him because He is working in the unseen for YOU - you DON'T need to worry! He's the one who will keep you on track - rely on Him because He is definitely with YOU! Don't fear - He's got your back :) Just smile & be content!

                                   Cities - Lights - People - & Wandering hearts

What if instead of receiving we started giving - giving love - words - attention...
Sometimes we get so full every Sunday but we forget to pour out into people's lives.

You can do small things and it will still be significant!
It doesn't take too much to show people around you the road that leads them home.

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly" - Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)

Bring HIS rest to people's hearts!! Be a light into the World!!
Open up your mouth and start speaking words that will bless others - show them the same love that God has shown you.

Let's go public with this ✞=♥
Spread HIS love - spread HIS message!

"...How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?" - Romans 10:14

#CrossEqualsLove

Keep walking, Babe!

Sometimes when things get hard we forget to see the big picture and get caught up on the present and its sufferings. There will be things that you won't understand why they happened the way it did but the truth is sometimes we are not meant to understand we are meant to TRUST with our eyes closed and a gentle whisper in our hearts saying 'keep going son, I'm with you'.
I'm not going to say that it's easy because it's not but the journey with Jesus is so worthy and so pleasurable because the secret is - we have to choose not getting stuck in our present situation but aiming to a brighter future with him. We have this promise that He will never leave or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6) and this is enough to keep pressing on with no fear. HE IS WITH YOU just keep going!! You don't need to understand - you need to TRUST HIM!

Because if you stop for a moment to think - we serve Jesus not because of what is happening right now in our lives but because of what has already happened, we love him because he first loved us, because He laid down His life for us. His grace is sufficient for me and for you!
