Before It Happens:

Whatever it is that you may be desiring for your life.

Whatever you believe is your ultimate dream or goal.

Whatever it is that keeps you up at night filled with scenarios of how it all might work out.

Whatever you get excited about just thinking about the ‘what if’ and the ‘how and the ‘when’ moment.

Whatever it is, believe it. Believe in it.

Before it even happens, see it.

Hold it, touch it, grab it, thank God for it.

Even though you don’t have it yet, believe that the promise God made to you is real.

This is not a prosperity gospel. This is not talking about getting something that you thought of on your own.

This is about that dream, desire or goal that God placed in your heart and you are waiting for it to manifest.

This is that business which you have been planning for years and you’ve tried but failed many times.

This is for the single person who is still in the mystery of who your future spouse could be.

This is for the person struggling emotionally and mentally.

This is for anyone with a dream that is so big that it can’t happen unless God intervenes.

Unless God himself makes this happens for you in some divine way that you had nothing to do with it.

Believe it before it happens.

Sing until your miracle comes.

Dance until your miracle comes.

Laugh and have fun until your miracle comes.

Then after the miracle comes,

continue to sing, dance, laugh, have fun.

Whatever it is that you are hoping for it just one small aspect of your life compared to your life’s entirety.

Before the cancer is healed, before the medical report comes back with good news, before your child is born, before you pass that test, before you graduate, before your marriage, before your dream job..Before it Happens.

Praise Him.

Praise Him like he has already died for your sins and gave you a way to Heaven.

Like he has already been good.

Like he has already blessed you with so much.

What you can’t see ahead of you is a great gift.

Go appreciate the things around you and enjoy every minute of your life.

Sure whatever “it” is hasn’t happened yet,

but so much already has.

 

We all long for things we don’t have.

God has good gifts for those who walk uprightly

but he never said how long we need to walk uprightly to receive those gifts.

We should follow God because we love God.

We serve, not to get something we want from God, but just out of our love for him.

Lay all your cares and worries down at the foot of the cross

because God has a specific purpose for you

and it is your job to complete it.

So release the burden of your heart and be free in Christ Jesus.

At the end of your life,

Be sure you can say,

That you did everything God asked you to do.

Make sure you have been obedient and that you did not give up.

Even when it didn’t make any sense, you endured.

You pushed through all the tough, heartbreaking times.

                                    You thanked him for all the joyous and happiest times.

So when you go to the end of your life,

And stand before God,

You can say that you did it all.

Even with some doubt and constant questioning,

You did it.

Well done, good and faithful servant.

You’ve prayed much.

You’ve cried much.

You didn’t understand why you were going through all that you were going through,

but it all was to make you stronger and wiser.

God was building you up and molding you.

He was removing all the things that needed to leave you and revealing to you areas in your life that needed growth and healing.

He was not punishing you.

He was not trying to make you miserable.

He was doing you a huge favor,

because you have the favor of God.

You are a follower of Jesus Christ and he is going to bless you for taking up your cross daily and living for him.

Constantly killing your flesh to follow Christ is not easy but you kept going.

You didn’t give up.

You pushed through when you couldn’t move anymore and God’s Spirit gave you the strength to do all things.

The God of miracles is about to bless you like crazy.

He is moving and things are being changed and arranged for your good.

See it, taste it, believe it.

It’s here.

Your time has come and the season of waiting is over.

Never forget the lessons you’ve learned.

Never forget the trials you’ve endured.

Never forget how God provided for you time and time again.

He did it all for you and He deserves all glory.

Never stop praising your heavenly father and never stop being overwhelmed and amazed at was He has done.

He’s done enough already at the cross and everything else is just extra.

Enjoy this.

Enjoy this breakthrough moment.

You made it here and deserve God’s joy.

Congrats my friend.

You will never be the same because you are forever changed by the power, majesty and wonder of God.

🙂

 

 

The things we find to be too hard to face are actually what we need to face in order to overcome those fears. Everything that I’ve been running from has only made me isolated and far from being healed. I’ve been on an incredible journey with God and his peace is a powerful force that exists. He gives peace that the world cannot give ( John 14:27). Even when I think I’ve surrendered all, I haven’t. I hold on close to what I don’t want to let go to God because of control. Not letting go just puts pressure on us. We think that we need to be in charge of what only God can handle.

At this point in life, I can say I’m tired of running. I’m tired of pushing everything and anything away and keeping myself from living of full life because of the lies and tricks of the enemy. The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10) and if he can’t steal your blessings or kill you, he’ll destroy you from living freely in surrender and obedience to God.Who wants to live their life in fear or be afraid to embrace the people sent into their life? Who wants to keep hiding and being in isolation due to their own choice? We’re not meant to isolate. We’re not meant to do life alone. It is not possible to live out a full life without others involved.

So look at where you are in life right now and choose to thank God for He has you where he wants you. Grasp every opportunity to live to the fullest. It’s not easy but it’s hard if you don’t let go.

Let go and release the control into God’s hands.

Dear Jesus,

my first love.

I’m thankful for you. Without you I wouldn’t be free. I wouldn’t even be able to understand freedom. I wouldn’t be able to see for my eyes have been unveiled because of you. Thank you.

Thank you Jesus.

There’s nothing in this world that I want desperately more than you.

You make me whole. You give me joy and peace beyond my understanding. I’m overwhelmed by your love for me so much that it brings me to tears.

Help me to continue to fall in love with you more and more each day.

I love you Jesus ❤

Sincerely,

your daughter
