i decide!!!

Life is not an accident, it is a result of every decision that we make. Making a decision is as important as to what our decision is. If we think that we are losers, we really are because decided to be that way. On the other hand, if we believe that we can make it, surely we can...

Our relationship and intimacy with the Lord is a decision as well. It should never be according to our feelings or to our moods. Serving and loving the Lord must be our passion at all times even in the toughest and driest point of our life. Most of the times, we are so excited to pray, praise Him and share if we are happy and full of strength... but what if we are not? Could we ignore Him, and just dump Him for a moment while we are not okay and just get Him back if we are better? Sometimes, we miss out the truth that in good times and in bad times He remains to be our God who is worthy to be honored and praised. In the first, it is never about us, it is all about Him.

To grow and and to stay in love with the Lord is a very important decision that each of us should make. We should decide everyday to walk in His ways and to be intimate to Him. Few months ago, the Lord gave me a picture of what is marriage. On a wedding day, a couple commit themselves to love each other in sickness and in health, in richness and in poverty, and that only death can separate them... The Lord taught me to be committed to Him just like a couple should be committed to each other. He taught me to love and serve Him no matter what my situation is. There were times that I felt like giving up on Him, but He was so patient and understanding to me. He never failed to strengthen me so that I could keep my commitment to Him. God is so loving and sweet that He is not just after of our commitment but He is so willing to help us in keeping that commitment. All that we need to do is to decide to commit ourself to Him. And this is never a one day event, it must be a daily commitment. Our relationship with Him becomes sweeter as we renew our commitment to Him on a daily basis. It will be sweeter as the years go by.

Now, I decide to run after Him. To become more in love with Him. To do what He says...
