CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: HE NEVER LEAVES

 

Matthew 28:18–20 KJV


«"[18] And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me

 in heaven and in earth. [19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing

 them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20]

 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo,

 I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."»




When I was on campus, I used to worry a lot. And the only one who could

 make me worry's the Lord. Then He'd tell me,


"Never worry, never fret, never doubt. No matter what you do, or how far you

 go, I will never leave nor forsake you, Pearl. In every circumstance, I am right

 there."



This love brought out the best in me. It made me protective over my

 relationship with God. I felt inadequate, incapable, but He was my anchor.

 Now I have a lion's heart.



People say, "Nothing is permanent, nothing lasts forever... People come and

 go."

Oh, how beautiful it is to have that one confidant you can trust—someone you

 can lean on and be completely unashamed in their presence. Someone who

 never leaves.


Do not abuse such a privilege. The Lord is long-suffering, not eternal-suffering.


Humbling circumstances may happen—just like the case of Job.


Circumstances that make you the talk of the town. Instead of sympathy, one

 may meet mockery. The Lord is right there. In your failing marriage, He's at

 the center. In the loss of your loved one, He's right beside you. He's your

 comfort and your peace. He's your strength and joy. He understands you...




Even if you feel like He's mad at you, He isn't. He wants you to know He's

 waiting right beside you, for you to get up and dust your knees. He's offering

 you a tender, warm embrace.




He has come to minister greater strength to you, and in His right hand, He's

 got a crown. He's holding a crown just for you, as if to say, "Thank you for all

 you've done so far." But this is not the end... There's more.


Say this:


"The Lord is my Shepherd; I am continually led by the Lord."


"I am set on a course that I must follow; I am steadfast."


"The Lord is with me: right ahead, right beside me... Right in front of me; He is

 in me, working excellence and perfection in me. Glory to God."



A Prayer For You:

May you be found of the Lord in your desolation. May He shine His face upon

 you, and may He cause you to light up your world continuously. Amen.

Affirmations

Image
  I am enough . I am worthy of love . I am capable of being whatever I want to be. I am confident . I am intelligent. I am potent. I am successful. I am enlightened. I am tough. I am wise. I am everything. Sometimes, we are filled with fear—fear of not being good enough to handle something, fear of being rejected, fear of not being accepted. But grounding yourself in the reality of your sufficiency is “ I am .” Dependable, trustworthy, faithful, powerful, and competent—yes, you are. I believe in you, that you have what it takes to become everything you are meant to be. I believe in your potential. I believe in your future. You are. Release your fears. Close your eyes and see yourself letting go of every fear. I forgive myself. Sometimes in life, we are full of regret and guilt. This disrupts our inner peace and confidence. There’s that one time we have all made wrong choices. Whether moments later or many years ahead, we tend to revisit those scenarios and wish we ha...

QUOTES (PHASE 2)

  Vulnerability is a demonstration of Quiet Strength .  It is withholding the power to flee, to hide, to question, to doubt, to judge, to condemn— and allowing oneself to bleed. To bleed fear, to bleed the looming threat of rejection,  failure, and scorn. Vulnerability is where faith thrives. We all know faith is a mustard seed, right? This art inspires the idea that some doors—so imposing, so invincible, so inconceivable,  so fortified—require a soft touch, a gentle penetration, a fragile ego… and then comes  the creaking, even the unlocking of that door. We grow in life as we move from one stage to another. And as we grow, we must  discard certain sandals. It takes vulnerability to let go of the old in search of the new,  knowing fully well that one’s bare feet may be exposed to danger. It takes vulnerability to hope, and to trust the process. It takes vulnerability to wait for  certain seasons to pass so that others may be embraced. It takes vu...
