You don't have to be moved by your trials!!!

Hello everybody.


I had such an awesomely quiet weekend and it was so much needed.

I trust your weekend was filled with joy and love for others.

I'm sitting here and just thinking oF all the needs of other surrounding us. Yes, we pray for others but it seems like it's not enough.

When i think back and reflect on all the issues i had, i can only say thank you that i went through it. Some of you might think i'm crazy for saying thank you to my issues.

It really built my character. You learn to have peace with those issues cos you know who your strength is. He brought you through so many trials and He will carry you through this time.

If we can only remember and say thank you right now you will have so much peace.

God does not want us to be moved/shaken by the every day trials, He wants us to stand firm and give it to Him.

Psalm 125:1-2 says,

1 Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,

which cannot be shaken but endures forever.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

so the LORD surrounds his people

both now and forevermore.

So for you who's struggling to stand firm, meditate on this Psalm and just have faith.
