When Trials Come

When trials and hardships become obstacles in your path to God

When you feel the pangs of your limitations

When your strength is compromised

When your willpower to live slowly fades

When your heart condemns you

When you are blinded by your despair

When you are in the moment of frustration

When you do not want to live anymore

Take a deep breath

Then pray to pour out all the angst in your heart to God

Don’t engage to have temptations become actions

Just simply confess to God

You can’t- no matter how you’ve tried

And know that He can and is greater than what is in your heart

And entrust in Him and allow yourself to begin to love God even more

Our God is not necessarily looking into our responses to His Love

But He, rather, wants to reveal His Love to us

That in this world that suffers, we are made whole in Love

-Cor Et Oculos Christi

After Suffering

Fill your mind with the renewal and the spirit of God.

Ask Him to cleanse and purge out of you any doubts and fears.

He will pour out and annoint you with His Spirit.

And direct you into the path destined for you to take.

He will transform you and bring comfort to your heart.

Because you know how you have suffered… For you have felt the pangs of the cross.

Rest assured you are in His hands now.

And nothing else matters.

Open your eyes again for you have been blinded for all of this time

From the suffering

For God has given you and restored unto you a heart, a mind, and eyes, ears, and a mouth to profess

His glory.

Take comfort in His plan for He knows the desires of your heart and knows the path for which you must take to get there.

For in this, surrender it all.

You have suffered.. now let the love of God pour out all over your bruised body

You are healed.

Following The Path of Life

To live in following God is a blessed sacrifice holding many beautiful promises as opposed to living a life straying from Him, opening ourselves to consequences like that of a slave of circumstance. Yet with the good gifts that He gives, also comes the work needed to continually strengthen our faith in Him. Work is important as to prove or show to God we are willing to do His Will, though it may be out of our perceived limitations of capability, after doing so there are rewards and blessings multiplied. The deepening and the growing of our faiths builds in love a holy character that we may be pleasing in His Sight and to humanity.

His Infinite Mercy

Excerpt from “Pathway to GOD”  on God’s Infinite Mercy

“So great is His infinite love and pity that He allows man insolently to deny Him, wrangle about Him, and cut the throats of his fellowmen. How can we measure the greatness of God, who is so forgiving, so divine? 

He allows us freedom and yet His compassion commands obedience to His Will. But if anyone of us disdains to bow to His Will, He says: “So be it.” “My sun will shine no less for thee, My clouds will rain no less for thee. I need not force thee to accept My Sway.” Of such a God let the ignorant dispute the existence. I am one of the millions of wise men who believe in Him and am never tired of bowing to Him and singing His glory. 

God is the hardest task-master, I have known on earth. He tries you through and through. And when you find your faith is failing, or your body is failing you, and you are sinking, He comes to your assistance somehow or other and proves to you that you must not lose your faith and that He is always at your beck and call, but on His terms. So I have found. I cannot recall a single instance when at the eleventh hour, He has forsaken me. “

-M.K. Gandhi

The Beginning of Wisdom

Proverbs 9:10

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁰ “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

-Photograph by Lea M. Rivera, Visual Artist

To begin to receive wisdom, which bears the fruit to deeper understanding of all that is around us, is to let go of our own ego and let God infuse All that He is in us. It is the lack of understanding that is the root to confusion, turmoil, and the aimless suffering within us. The simple act of opening ourselves in humility to greater wisdom of understanding-as God is the Source of Truth- can change our lives for the better.  Yet, it is the judgment of the little  mind that limits this blessing.

Jude 1:2

New King James Version (NKJV):  ² Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
