I found this awakening, inspiring and touching post published by " Deidra on her blog http://www.deidramanning.com/. And I couldn't help it but to ask her permission, which she granted to share this wonderful post to my followers here.
It really touched my heart, so I hope it will do to you too!
Pictures though is mine!
What
would happen if I started giving in spite of what I need?
What
would happen if I stop making everything about me and consider
others?
What
would happen if I started praying for those who hurt or annoy me
instead of rehearsing every offense for days after it’s done?
What
would happen if I took a break from things that overwhelm or distract
me and replaced them with quiet time with Him?
What
would happen if I began to focus on only the positive things in my
life?
What
would happen if I stopped begging God and started trusting Him to
handle it in His time, His way?
What
would happen if I had the courage to stop dreaming and start doing?
What
would happen if I let go of my fear of others’ opinions and did
what God’s put in my heart?
What
would happen if I took God’s promises and directives personally,
like they were written specifically for me?
What
would happen if I made it my mission to be the best person I can be
every single day, to reflect Christ’s attitudes and actions and
compassion no matter what that day holds?
What
would happen if I was willing to let go of my excess for those who
are truly in need?
Grace
would be given.
Love
would be shown.
Peace
would prevail.
Faith
would be lived.
Change
would be realized.
Needs
would be met.
Jesus
would be pleased.
And
yet I live as if I don’t know the answers to these questions.
God,
forgive me.
God,
help me.

ReplyDelete---ito yung tanong ko ngayon sa buhay ko. marami tayong pagsubok pero theres always a bright side naman sa lahat ng bagay.
What would happen if I let go of my fear of others’ opinions and did what God’s put in my heart?
