Good Morning America

Good Morning America!

What a windy day!  The wind is whipping across the lake, whistling and feels like it’s about to take anything out of its way.  I feel the wind is the change coming across America today.  God is sweeping through America with His grace and mercy that triumphs over judgment.  America, be at peace and know that God has not forgotten you and He is bringing change in America.  May you feel His love, peace, mercy and compassion.  Most of all, His protection is sweeping across your land and people and marking His borders and say “America, you are mine”.  Thank you, God for what you are doing in America in Jesus name, amen.

As The Lord commanded, I bless Israel and pray for peace in Jerusalem and Middle East.

Have a blessed day 🙂

Change of Heart

When love grows cold, the heart changes – Susy Pujiro

I was talking to my friend about her situation two weeks ago. They are currently separated after 15 years of marriage. They haven’t made up their mind yet about what they want to do. I suggested that she works on the relationship if she is not sure about divorce. She said she could work on making the marriage work but it was not going to be the same, because her heart has changed.

I could not help but think about our conversation for the last two weeks. What she said that day was very profound to me. I realize that love also depends on the condition of the heart. I am going to use our hand as the illustration of a heart. When we love someone, we open our heart towards that person like the palm of our hand. When we choose not to love that person, or think the relationship is not working as we think it should be, we turn the heart towards us again and the back of our hand is facing that person. When we cannot make up our mind which way we should go in the relationship, our heart is turned sideways. Depends on which way the heart turns, will be the outcome of your relationship. If the heart turns open like the palm of hand towards the person, then the relationship is restored and as always, both parties have to cooperate and willing to go through the restoration.

In my own experience, when the heart is in the crossroad of the decision, the result has been the back of the hand. The result is not what we want to face, but it happens in 9 out of 10 relationships. Even if you decide to stay in the relationship when you heart has changed, because of kids, money, social status, or the right thing to do. It will not last long because the heart has changed and love is not the same. You are only co-existing and prolonging the situation. Soon or later, you will come to that crossroad again, and you have to make the decision. Just like my friend said, it will not be the same, because her heart changed.

I looked back at my own situation and I could see it clearly now. No matter how much I wanted my marriage to work, it would not work because one of us had a change of heart. The day you think about divorce, the idea has been conceived in the heart. That means, you have had a change of heart about your love and relationship. I believe with all my heart, when a couple is happily married, the thought of divorce will never enter their mind. Because they are in love with each other and their mind is consumed of love towards one another.

Whether, it is the perfect couple with perfect marriage, or the rocky marriage that the writing is all over the wall about divorce, or the odd couple that you wonder why in the first place they get married. All comes to two things, the issue of a heart and love. I always say, no one knows what’s going on behind the closed door 🙂

TRUST….

Trust is fragile thing, easy to break, easy to lose, and one of the hardest thing to ever get back – Anonymous.

Yes… trust is something that we take lightly but yet something that carries so much weight in life, whether it’s in business, relationship, friendship, or even in our daily life. We trust the cook when we go to restaurants that our food is good. We trust auto mechanics to fix our car, and make sure our car is safe to drive. We trust the banks where we deposit our money, that our money will be in our accounts. We trust our loved ones that they will love us forever. Everything we do daily is based on trust whether we realize it or not.

Trust in relationship and friendship, are the hardest to gain back once it’s broken. Because broken trust, creates doubt in the heart and mind of the persons being cheated or taken advantage of. Once trust is broken, you are always on guard, looking for any clues if you are ever going to be cheated again. Broken trust can make one’s mind going crazy and will eat you alive in doubt and fear.

when trust is broken, a person has to work very hard to prove that he/she is trustworthy again. This process can take a long time, or will never be achieved. I learn trust is also about one’s integrity 🙂

So, whenever someone trusts you with their valuable asset, make sure you guard it with your integrity and life because that person trusts you wholeheartedly. Whenever someone gives you their heart and loves you, you are blessed and trusted with the most valuable possession on the earth. So, please treat their heart as it’s your only possession on earth.  Hold the heart in your hands gently and treat it with tender loving care.  If you break the heart, you break the trust 🙂

Women Are Like…..

“Women are like apples on the trees, and the best ones are at the top of the trees” – Anonymous

Most men don’t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.  Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren’t as good, but are easy.  So, the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they are amazing.  They just have to wait for the right man to come along.  The one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree – Anonymous

I came across this saying while browsing through the net.  I didn’t want to post it but after a few days of stewing on it, I decided to post the saying because there are truths in it and also it can go both ways for women and men.

Because we are at the top of the trees, we have our standards that seem to be ridiculous and yet it’s the things that make us special.  So, instead of waiting for the right one to come along.  We settle for the one who is okay, we lower our standards and settle for less because we think we are not worth more than what is presented in front of us, we make excuses and even we try to fit ourselves to their mold.

The saying above made me think about myself, the way I think and I feel about certain things in life as it is not pertained only to love but choices of career and what we tolerate in our lives.  There is a reason why the best apples are on top of the trees, there is a reason why roses have thorns, there is a reason why God made you the way you are – so special and there is none like you – He sets you apart from others.

With that, I am not going to settle for less and I will wait for the right man to come along who will see the beauty and the gem in me and makes the decision that it’s worth the falling and getting hurt to climb the tree and pick me up 🙂
