Romans 8 : 28
'If God is for us, who can be against us?'
Sometimes, God gives us a vision. He calls us out, He sets us apart to do His will. We may think that it is too difficult, and that we will never be able to achieve what He has in mind for us. Romans 8:28 says that when God wants us to do something, He will make the way. Or maybe we are in the midst of completing it, but we meet stumbling blocks along the way. Then we ask ourselves, 'is this really what God wants me to do?'
Let me tell you this, if it is God's will for you to do something, it will come with affirmation. Sometimes, you may not even notice the affirmation. You may think that it is just you talking to yourself. However, sometimes, it is really God speaking to you. You need to recognize His voice.
Remember, Philippians 4:13 says 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' When you are met with setbacks, remember this verse, and Romans 8:28. It will definitely give you encouragement, just like it does to me.

Psalm 139:14
'I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made ; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.'
You know, sometimes, we feel as if we have no identity. We feel like we don't belong, or we feel that we shouldn't even be here in the first place. Maybe your life isn't good, or maybe you just don't feel that you are here with a purpose. Sometimes, you may think you are fat, ugly, or whatever negative things. However, Psalm 139:14 says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. God did not make a mistake in making you. You were planned. Before the world began, you were already on His mind.
God also gave me another revelation with this verse. It says 'your works are wonderful, I know that full well.' God works are wonderful. Here, 'works' means us, and all mankind. Sometimes we judge others by their looks. If they don't look good enough for you, you think they are inferior. Sometimes, we look down on them. However, here, it says that everything God made is wonderful. So, how can a person made by God be lousy? I hope you get my point. Me myself am also trying to achieve this. And here, I am sharing it with you. I am not condemning here. Please understand.
So next time, don't think that you are inferior to anyone else! Or don't think that other people are inferior to you!

John 16 : 28
'I came from the Father and entered the world, now I am leaving the world and going back to my Father.'
this verse is actually supposed to speak about Jesus going back to heaven after being crucified. but God has given me a new revelation of it.
this verse spoke to me. it told me that well, since we came from God, someday we will still have to go back to him. and that's why we shouldn't take death so badly. you know, when someone dies, it's not the end. in fact, it's the start. that's the real start of your life in heaven. an everlasting life. your death anniversary on earth is your birthday in heaven. on earth, people mourn over the one that dies, but in heaven, it's a time of celebration. this earthly tent of ours will fail us one day, and we will go back to the Father.
that's how i manage to still be happy when someone dies. not that i rejoice, but i comfort myself with this verse. someday, we will also be going back to heaven as long as we believe in Christ. there, we will reunite with all our loved ones that have passed away. that's why i want to share this with you. (:
