💙

Abundance of possessions may never guarantee a complete satisfaction.

Attachment to which is material may satisfy the wants of your body but could be detrimental to the needs of your soul. That which pleases the senses may, sometimes, become your priority to achieve, only to make you so attached to it. Never be deluded by the allure of what is temporary but seek that which is everlasting. Your body decomposes but never the life God has endowed you with. What is material has its end, what is with God will always be till the end. If he has blessed you with the abundance of comfort in life, then use them to attain the serenity that which your soul can be sanctified. The rule will always be simple: be detached from whatever belongs to this world and strive to be attached with what pertains to God. Let nothing disturb you, but allow God to take charge of you.

True happiness happens when nothing holds you within. (al)

The goodness of God will give you strength in the midst of your weakness.

The difficulties to solve impossible situations are only defined by your mind. The more you think about how hard it is, the more it becomes harder for your will to solve it. God gave your eyes to see the perspective of how to dwell with problems and to be able to look for ways to find the solutions. Just look and see, as only the blind are somehow deprived of this. God gave your ears to listen to advices and sound counsels of how you are to deal in solving entangled situations. Just hear and listen, as only the deaf are somehow deprived of this. God would never give you a cross that would be heavier than what you can carry. It's only a matter of accepting it and asking him to be on the other side for a lift. He closes some windows of your life to prepare you to enter a bigger door of confidence and of self-trust. It is only when your eyes are closed and your ears shut, that problems, indeed, are difficult to crack.

You can't heal what you are afraid to face. (al)

Every pain gives you a lesson, and every lesson changes you as a person.

Healing of the body presupposes healing of the soul. It is only when you succumb in total surrender to God, that his grace can pe*****te even the unfathomable recesses of your being. God works in mysterious ways beyond wonders of any medical discovery. The best healing you could ever have is when you feel at ease before his presence sans of any taunt of guilt. Nothing is impossible with him when he sees the humility of yourself in total submission to his will. Claim that he can heal you. Be happy to rely that he alone holds your life in the palm of his hands, as he knows what's best for you. There's nothing more you can ask than to be grateful for his overwhelming love that supplies everything you will have. Transform yourself into a soft ground where his seed of healing can always abound. Be not patches of rock that cater your doubts, but a kind of a rich soil where God's wonder can sprout.

God never allows pain without a purpose. (al)

🔥🔥🔥

Greatness is not found in being powerful, but could be discovered in being humble.

Being great doesn't have to be shown in a manner that gains praises and applause, otherwise, it becomes superficial. In its truest sense, greatness is always objective, as it is felt and seen by others in your most discreet way of doing something good. Let that greatness, then, be a channel of your compassion among others and not of being arrogant. It is in being great that you exceed among others and be capable of going down to the level of the least, than giving them the difficulty to go up to your state. God sees everything you do and you don't need other's eyes to complement your esteem. All it takes is humility to be able to understand how you can become significant in other's lives and not a contradiction. It is in being humble that you can value the choice to love and to share your life in the struggles and sufferings of others. To be great is to have the will of conquering yourself and be subservient to the call of harmony and peace to serve.

There's no need to show off when you know who you are. (al)
