LIVE A POSITIVE LIFE. INFLUENCE OTHERS.

*** I’m sharing one of my favorite songs “I’m in love with You” by Kari Jobe in the sincere hope that you would be reminded of God’s presence and love. We all go through sadness, hopelessness, uncertainty and fear. But let us not forget that God is not watching high above the heavens, He is actually where you are – beside you - helping you live the life that He gave you. It may be easy to become discouraged but the flipside of that emotion is hope.

In the book “The 5 Dreams of Every Woman” author Sharon Jaynes explains how every little girl dreams of walking down the aisle as a lovely bride.

Citing results of her nationwide (US) survey, the list of women’s childhood dreams include becoming a gymnast, an astronaut, a teacher, a nurse, a nun, a career woman, Barbara Walters, TV anchor and so on.

“But when the questions left the surface and dove deep into the women’s hearts, the five most common dreams were the same as mine: to have a daddy who loves me, to be a bride, to be a mommy, to be beautiful, and to have a best friend,” Jaynes said.

“Little girls (and big girls) love to dream about becoming a bride. And I’ve noticed that women reading bridal magazines are not necessarily engaged. Yes, most little girls dream of one day wearing the long, white-satin-and-pearl-studded dress with a lacy trailing veil and walking down the aisle to meet the man of her dreams,” Jaynes says further.

If only every little girl’s dream to become a bride could come true…

In reality, some women find their marriages prison-like while others never find their lifetime partners.

But the author and Bible teacher explains that God has a plan…a beautiful plan…

“Our hearts are made for romance. But does “and they lived happily ever after” exist only in fairy tales? Surely not. Many women’s hearts have grown cold, and their dreams lie in a broken forgotten heap, but the reality of a prince who longs to make you His bride is a certain reality…”

“… for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be married. As a young man marries a maiden, so will your sons marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you.” Isaiah 62:4-5

 Pin your hopes on God. Place your fears and uncertainties on His hand. Most of all spend regular quiet time with Him.

Speak to God and He will converse with you.   

 I am reminded that God is omniscient and omnipresent. He knows where we are and He knows how we feel. We may not understand everything that is happening but He always knows what is best for us.
