LIVING IN THE PRESENT


If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present. – This is the quote I’ve read in my google plus lately.

For the past years, I have allowed myself being depressed and anxious. And all along, I’ve became the person I hated most.  I worry a lot and eventually hurt the people I love.  And since this is not the life I imagined to be, I made a move three weeks ago. I have consecrated before the Lord and asked Him to remove all the things that hinder me in knowing Him. Eventually, one by one, He emptied my cup and took away all unnecessary things in my life until nothing is left. After which, He had poured Himself into my cup that all the things I can see, hear, and sense is only Him.

That no matter how painful it is; it is Him who comforts.

That no matter how much darkness surrounds me; all I can see is His light.

That no matter how many battles I am going through; it is Him who is fighting.

Regardless of the circumstances I am facing, all I have right now is peace because I put my trust in the Lord. I know that I will live a victorious life as long as I put my faith in Him.

So, in order for us to live in the present, we have to put our trust to the only one who can be trusted, our Lord Jesus Christ.
