My dear friends,
it is one thing for me to say 'Don't mess with me or my Heavenly Father will deal with you.' Now, it is something else when my Lord and God stands & shows me clearly that He's got my back... Where am I going with this? heart emoticon
Few days ago (March 30), upon returning late from school, my mother sat and said that a dear Sister In Christ called for me. She shared that she had prayed all day long because she woke up with a dream about me: "In the dream, there were girls attempting to set me up with a guy. Our good Lord showed her these young ladies were not devoted to the Lord, and she saw clearly that the young man seemed Christlike, but he did not have a heart for God. So our good Lord was not in approval..." Ha! Ayayayayaya!!! smile emoticon
You see my friends, I could not doubt her because my Sister has true dreams. When God gives you a spiritual gift, it is not you who will say 'I have this...', and it is not for you, but the people of God. He'll hint you, but the people of God will testify.
So when my mother gave me the message, I could not doubt a bit. First, I knew the Lord had been shielding me so much from attempts not pleasing to him especially lately, and at times, I would notice later. Next, I believed that our good Lord was probably warning me through her and asking more than ever vigilance since yesterday in the morning, the same thing arose while making my way to school with another Sister in Christ of mine and my classmate. This was twice in the same day! Ha! My friends, give thanks to the Lord who affirms again and again that He is in charge of our future, and who protect us until victory be given to Him His way. So today, I thought I'd invite you to pray with me...
Dear Lord,
I do not know what surrounds me. I do not see what you see, but I thank you for the guardian angel you've assigned to me who follows closely your instructions. I thank you for the Holy men and women you've set on my path who are constantly interceding for me, and are challenging me to WAIT on you, who are BELIEVING with me. Lord, you know my sister's gift and how it has blessed us and her family. You know it is not parable, so I offer whomever, girls or anyone who has fallen in the traps of manipulation when it comes to their relationship with you. Restore them in your heart and in your Mercy that they may experience your true Love and comprehend that Trust in you is what unlocks your heart, not manipulation. Restore their relationship with you that they fall in Love with you. Grant them to learn to simply present you with their hearts' desire, and trust that if it be your will it will come to pass your way, but not their way.
Lord, we have become people who forget what it is like to trust in you. Waiting has become something that causes discomfort rather than a blessed journey. O Lord, teach whomever these girls are or these people that to come to you seeking after our desires is to worship our desires rather than worshiping you. And to that young man or any man, deliver him from such trap. Detach him and cause him to seek after your heart, Lord. Lead him to other godly brothers who will challenge him to be what you will first. That image you gave my sisters is the image is the reflection of many young men today. O Lord, many young men in my generation have forgotten what it truly is to long for you for who you are rather than for what you will give them. History has proven time and time again that those who use you Lord to fulfill their desires undeniably get hurt; Forgive us Lord for having become worshipers of our desires, for turning our desires into idols. Dear Lord,
you've been clear when asking us to '... seek first (Your) kingdom and (Your) righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself." -Mt 6:33. Lord, I do not understand the depths of this dream, so I present it back to seeing what we've been through, and believing in where you are wanting us to go. May you keep hiding me in our Lady's mantle as she crushes the head of every plot and instill stillness. May our Lady, the Undoer of knots, destroys today the knots of human tradition so that only my Catholic Tradition be given glory. May she destroys the knots of manipulation, maneuvering, pressure thus transforming hearts and minds during this Easter Season with a renewed focus on you. My Lord God, I offer you every struggle for every Single who has succumbed to the ways of the world. Renew their hope and their strength in you that they may walk secure in your ways. For those who are resisting human traditions, remind each and every one of us that You are indeed the Author of Our Love Story. May those of us you've blessed with a prolonged season of Singleness praise you and seek from you daily: "Lord, how can I bring your glory about today?" Grant me the grace to resist temptations till the day you affirm your will in my heart and through those coaching me to walk in your ways. We were born to know you, love you and serve you. Heavenly Father, I claim this day again that you are the AUTHOR of MY LOVEheart emoticon STORY. I claim this through our Lord Jesus Christ who is the Way, Truth and Life. I claim this by the power of the Holy Spirit. Yes, my Lord, You are Victorious...
