In the middle of our struggles, we often pray so hard for something we believe is right for us. And even though it might not be, God sometimes still comforts us in certain ways—not because it’s what we need, but because He loves us and doesn’t want to hurt us. At the same time, He gently teaches us, shapes us, and helps us grow. Then, after some time, you find yourself praying for the complete opposite of what you once asked for. Then You fall to your knees and say: "Truly, Lord, now I understand Your wisdom. I didn’t realize I was this precious to You.🙏 «لَسْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنْتَ الآنَ مَا أَنَا أَصْنَعُ، وَلكِنَّكَ سَتَفْهَمُ فِيمَا بَعْدُ». شكرا يا رب 🙏.

God is good all the time. His view is like that of an eternal flame; a light that never dims. A light that carries His promises of the heart of Him that has endless reserves. No matter the trial, every correction comes about by His incomparable love for us. A good father teaches from love and faithfulness. It may hurt us at the time but the effective lesson is often birthed out of a trial. Study these scripture references: 1 Kings 8: 22-23 22 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and he spread out his hands toward heaven. 23 And he said, “Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping the covenant and showing faithfulness to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart Psalm 103:13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. 1 John 3:1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Hebrews 12:7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? Matthew 7:9-11 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! Deuteronomy 1:29-31 Then I said to you, ‘Do not be in dread or afraid of them. The Lord your God who goes before you will himself fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way that you went until you came to this place.’ Romans 5:8 But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 2 Corinthians 6:18And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.” John 14:2In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. John 14:21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

Sometimes, life feels like a long, exhausting battle. You try to fix things, control outcomes, and carry burdens that weren't meant for you to bear. But here's a beautiful reminder: God is fighting for you. In Exodus 14:14 it says that "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to win every fight. You don't have to carry every weight. The Lord Himself goes before you. He stands beside you. He is working for your victory, and your only role is to trust and be still. So today, exhale. Let go. Let Him do the fighting. He is faithful, and He will make a way. Tag someone who needs this reminder today. Let's uplift each other in faith. 🙏 #LoveGod

Picture this: You have faith as your wings, propelling you to aim for the heavens. You were never meant to settle for the mundane; you were created to soar above the earthly, reaching for the extraordinary heights that beckon to your spirit. It's like strapping on your faith wings and saying, "I'm destined for greatness, and I'm ready to take flight!" Now, let's flip open our trusty book of inspiration to Isaiah 40:31 (NIV), which tells us, "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." This vivid imagery reminds us that as we place our hope and trust in the Lord, our strength is renewed, and we are empowered to soar like eagles—unfettered by the weight of worldly concerns and limitations. So, my friend, as you stand on the threshold of your dreams, remember that faith is your wings, lifting you to breathtaking heights. Don't settle for the ordinary when the extraordinary awaits you. Embrace your unique journey and the limitless possibilities that unfold when you dare to take flight with unwavering faith. You were born to soar, not to stay tethered to the ordinary. So, spread your faith wings wide and aim for the heavens—victory and triumph await you in the boundless skies of God's grace! #TrustInHimBelieveInYou
