So many times people gives us a smile, or an sms, or maybe an email or a facebook message and it really hits home. Sometimes it makes our day, sometimes it helps us through what we’re going through, sometimes it just makes life that little more bearable or even sometimes it helps us not make a stupid mistake. Have you ever gone through something like this?

Well,if you have, you are definately not the only one. Have you ever stopped to think that it could have been God stepping in through a friend to tell you what He wanted to tell you? Do you ever get those times were you just cry out to God to show you something and u feel that He just isn’t saying anything, as if He just won’t step in to save the day? But yet, somehow what you needed comes through? Well, God is there and He is stepping in.

God speaks to us in really mysterious ways and we don’t even realise its Him who is talking to us. Through our friends, maybe a song, a random phrase or even a picture. God uses everything and anything to get our attention, to get His word out to us. Maybe He doesn’t speak to you verbally but He speaks to us in other ways.

Try and stop to think about what people are saying to you, what your music is leading you to. Maybe God istrying to use you to bring out a message to your friend. Slow dow and smell the roses, if you go through life too fast you might just miss out on what God is trying to tell you.

I found this video and it really hits home to what I’m trying to portray here. It sums up everything basically.

Hope you enjoy it.
God bless.

Hope everyone’s fine and really getting into the spirit of Lent as we have entered the last week. I was thinking about the sadness of Lent and how it can really put us down, especially in the last week as we truly remember why Jesus died for us. Some of us may want to be close to God physically at this point as we are when a loved one is dying.

Basically, what I’m trying to put through is this. Personally, over the years, I’ve had those moments in my life were I’ve felt alone and just needed to be held and once something someone had told me just rang a bell. You see, Jesus is in each and every one of our Bibles. It’s God’s biography and there is a piece of Him in every one of them. So when we touch our Bibles, evidentally, we are touching God.

After I rememberd this, everytime I felt alone I would just hold my Bible tightly, close my eyes and be still. The protection of God just falls on you when you just let go and let God work and it is truly an amazing feeling. Recently, I was wondering to myself why we can’t keep our Bibles on us all the time. In a way we could buy a tiny Bible and wear it round our necks. But I came to realise that that is why we wear crosses.

I encourage you, if you are feeling lonely or lost or just want to hold Jesus during His time of death. Grab your Bible and just hold it and let God’s love and appreciation for you sink in. Also, if you’re feeling like me and just want that tangability on you at all times. I think its a good time to start wearing a cross round your neck.

If you don’t have a Bible yet, You’re in luck as Y4J have just started selling them after the weekly meetings.  Get close to God during this Lenten period, in all aspects of your life. Let God work through you. I’m sure you won’t regret it.
