godsradicaldaughter:

GOD STILL LOVES YOU, BELOVED. YOU ARE STILL PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT.

You may commit mistakes sometimes. You may stumble. You may sin. Believe me, though, YOU ARE NOT THE WORST. We are all beggars in need of a Savior, in need of a perfect love. Christ is that Savior. Christ is the love you need.

He will not forgive your again,because He has already FORGIVEN ALL YOUR SINS. All the punishment intended for us has been received by Jesus, so God won’t punish you anymore. He cannot do that. Jesus has done it all, received it all. That’s why you can come freely to the throne of God. You have the right to, because of what Jesus did on the cross. God will always accept you. He’ll never drive you away.

Yes, beautiful one. God still loves you. He will never stop. THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE. He will embrace you in the midst of everything you’ve done.

Offer your case to God. Always focus on Him, because His love is sufficient, His grace is all you need, and you don’t have to do that thing anymore, because you are secured already. He will never leave you. Although transformation is not instant, it will happen. You are a new creation.

You are being transformed into being like Christ from one degree to another. It may take long, but God will never leave you. He will never give up on you. He will always be there so that you won’t ever fall, or stumble again.

God never leaves HIS CHILDREN. He will never forsake you. He does not condemn you. Have a revelation on that.

HIS GRACE IS ENOUGH!! Once you’ve realized that, you will never be the same again. Your perspectives will change, because GOD IS NOT INTERESTED IN BEHAVIORAL MODIFICATION. WHAT HE WANTS IS LIFE TRANSFORMATION.

You know you are Catholic when… You feel bad to hear your friends talking about how they wished they had a boyfriend, when you are fully content with waiting for whoever the Lord has picked out, if you are called to married life.

Me: Why am I struggling? Why am I feeling this way? Why does it seem so hard to live this life? I thought you will protect me. I thought you will be my Prince of Peace. :(

God: My precious child, I love you so much. But did you forget that I didn't promise a life where you wouldn't fall. instead I promised that everytime you fall I will raise you up. I am true to my promises because I am not mere human. I never left you, all the time I was by your side but you keep on ignoring Me.

You don’t need to search for a girl or run after a girl. That’s not how you find her. All you gotta do is aim for God and start running. Soon, you’ll notice someone else running beside you, maybe even faster than you. That’s who you’ll want to go for.

One of the wisest things I’ve ever heard. This applies for girls too.

This is beautiful!

Am I not here, who is your Mother? Are you not under my protection? Am I not your health? Are you not happily within my fold? What else do you wish for? Do not grieve nor be disturbed by anything.

Happy feast day of the Virgin of Guadalupe!

Today the Church commemorates one of the most famous and loved of all Marian apparitions.

In December 1531 Mary appeared to the Indian St Juan Diego on the outskirts Mexico City. There she revealed herself to be the ‘Mother of the True God for whom we live, of the Creator of all things, Lord of heaven and the earth’ and left an effigy of herself for all to see and revere.

Today the basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of the most visited religious shrines of Christendom.

I haven't been using this blog lately... for several reasons. But I'm trying to get back here guys. I'm really going to try.

Bible Verses For Stress: 20 Helpful Scriptures

Stress: you know the feeling; everything is coming undone. You feel as though your whole world is crumbling before your eyes. Your “inward parts are in turmoil and never still”, just like Job (Job 30:27). You may call it affliction, anxiety or tension. You are possibly physically ill with that stress headache again. You would give anything for this stress to be replaced with comfort, happiness and peace.

Good news! The Bible has many helpful scriptures for dealing with stress. Here are just twenty that I hope will encourage you, even on your worse day.

Rest, Peace and Healing

Isaiah 40:30,31 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Malachi 4:2 But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Romans 8:6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

Romans 16:20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Philippians 4:6,7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 5:6,7 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Trust the Lord to Ease the Way

Psalms 37:5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.

Psalms 55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

Psalms 103:1-5 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Proverbs 16:3 Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.

Jeremiah 17:7,8 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”

Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

James 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Give Me Jesus; His Strength is All I Need

Isaiah 55:1-3 “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.

Habakkuk 3:17-19 Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places.

Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Luke 10:41-42 But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

John 12:32 (KJV) And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. (Jesus words)

1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
