The past hurts, but God will help you move on...

Hi guys, Let's just Say, i went back to school last friday to give my credentials to the Internship office.

After doing what I had to do... I went around the school and simply remembered how bad my past life was...
All the hurt...I never knew any better that time when it came to friendships and all, and I realized that I was hurting people and I knew that i am at the wrong even after just all that... I regret doing things to people in the past like that.

Note: Don't ask who the guys mentioned are...they're simply there for emotional reasons and maybe a laugh if you're one of the few mentioned reading this...


I know how it feels to lose people in life due to misunderstandings and power struggles. I didn't want this either.. but we can't change the hands of time and we can't wish everything to be pristine clear again either...

But I guess that's sometimes how circumstances in life puts things like that...Life is a balance of emotions from Happiness to Sadness...from Anger to Comfort, and all there is to it.

But no matter how bad the past was in our lives, God never gave up on us and He loves to help us to guide us through life forward...

Trust Jesus in your circumstances, even in those most delicate moments in your life where you are hurt and vulnerable...

Isaiah 43:19
"See, I am doing a new thing! ..."

And as you decide to move on and trust God in your life, He'll encourage you to strive for better thing and to move forwards in life.

Philippians 3:14
"I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

That He will do something new in your life and He will help you move on slowly but surely as you also decide to move on forwards in life and trust in Him wholeheartedly.

Trust God always in your life...

God bless you and to Christ Jesus be the glory always.

Devotional for the day: Staying in God's Presence

And now shall my hands be lifted up above my
enemies round about me; in His tent I will offer
sacrifices and showing of joy: I will sing yes.
I will sing praises to the Lord.
Psalm 27:6

The psalmist David said that the thing he
wanted most was to be with God and to
dwell in His presence all the days of his life (see
Psalm 27:4). David loved God for who He is, not
just for what He did for him.
The Word says that if we abide in the presence
of God, He will defeat our enemies, and hide us in
the day of trouble (see v. 5). God's attention is on us,
but we must keep our attention on Him to enjoy the
fullness of His presence in our lives. We must invite
God to be involved in everything we do, and then
remember to praise Him for His goodness.

Oswald Chambers- My Utmost for His Highest: That My Joy might remain in you...

That My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. John 15:11

What was the joy that Jesus had? It is an insult to use the word happiness in connection with Jesus Christ. The joy of Jesus was the absolute self-surrender and self-sacrifice of Himself to His Father, the joy of doing that which the Father sent Him to do. "I delight to do thy will." Jesus prayed that our joy might go on fulfilling itself until it was the same joy as His. Have I allowed Jesus Christ to introduce His joy to me? The full flood of my life is not in bodily health, not in external happenings, not seeing God's work succeed, but in the perfect understanding of God, and in the communion with Him that Jesus Himself had. The first thing that will hinder this joy is the captious irritation of thinking our circumstances. The cares of this world, said Jesus, will choke God's word. Before we know where we are, we are caught up in the shows of things. All that God has done for us is the mere threshold; He wants to get us to the place where we will be His witnesses and proclaim Who Jesus is. Be rightly related to God, find your joy there, and out of you will flow rivers of living water. Be a centre for Jesus Christ to pour living water through. Stop being self-conscious, stop being sanctified prig, and live the life hid with Christ. The life that is rightly related to God is as natural breathing wherever it goes. The lives that have been of most blessing to you are those who were unconscious of it.
