Protect Our ‘Heart’

Don’t let discouragement steal your faith.

Faith itself is tough and I personally find it the hardest to sustain, especially when discouragement comes collapsing onto us. In life, there is always a particular someone that tells you how wrong you are, constantly hurling and suppressing you with discouragement.

Sometimes I wonder… how can some people like myself be discouraged so easily and admire those with faces as thick as castle walls or is it simply because they have artificial faith?

With God, we see things differently! That’s why we’re special, we are not shaken and be able to stand on solid ground. Challenges and circumstances are just part of growth, it inflict us only to let us learn new ways of life – to increase our faith.

Don’t let disappointment steal your hope 

All of us have different hopes and necessities in life. I believe when there’s a need, most of will have our fingers cross, praying desperately and sincerely to God. However, there are times when praying alone is not sufficient and thus… we got disappointed and began to put the blame on Him.

Actually, God listens to our prayers, in fact I believe He still insists to listen to them despite the millions of prayers that buzzes in His mind. So what if our prayers are not answered immediately? Continue praying… and praying… and never loose hope!

Always know that it takes more than simple prayer for things to happen, and when you realise that… miracles will come flowing in your life that you feel scared that all our needs are answered all the time!

Don’t let hurt steal you love 

Love is passion. It is a nice feeling to love someone and be loved in our lives. Doesn’t matter its a love shared between family members, friends or a special someone. God encourages all to love.

Sad to say that there are moments when you love is not appreciated or not answered the way we wanted it to be, and so we felt hurt and despair. Everything changes dragging along the people and their feelings in it, for the best or for the worst.

But always remember, love is not about making ourselves happy… It is about making the person we care for happy. When you’re happy, I’m happy - that is true love.

Love is not hurting, it’s when we fall out of love that is hurtful.

Don’t let un-forgiveness steal your destiny

Eliminate and demolish all feelings of hate, loathe, selfishness for they are the keys to open the chambers of un-forgiveness. Why is un-forgiveness related to our destiny? When we close up our hearts and keep grudge and hate towards certain things, we are not able to move forward, in fact all we can do is standing statically or even move backwards.

When it takes over, we not only loose focus but we loose faith! How can we keep on our faith if un-forgiveness and hatred stops us from possessing it?

What’s the point of hating, it only destroys us from within. God tells us to love, even our enemies!
