THE IMPORTANCE OF THE LITTLE THINGS IN OUR LIVES



Our happiness is not so much a product of the big things that occur in our lives, as it is the little things, as long as we let them make us happy. Unfortunately, there are those among us who desperately seek only for the "great pieces," who ignore the importance the little things play in their lives or take them for granted because they seem small or insignificant. But nothing could be further from the truth. 

We do not have to wait for something big to happen before we can be happy; our lives are already filled with an endless supply of positive things, if only we would take full advantage of them. And often times all it takes is a slight change in our perspectives- a shifting of our focus towards recognizing the positive little things and accepting them as a remarkable part of our lives- to do just that. 

 When that song I really enjoy listening to comes on, or my drive home is safe and pleasant. When the hurts of yesterday have subsided and I wake up feeling refreshed, renewed, and excited for the day. When I receive a compliment from a complete stranger, or run into a friend who shares with me a moment of their day. It is there, in these little advantages, that we discover the "human felicity" that is ever present within us.

Waiting is painful. The pain is excruciating. Waiting makes you look stupid as though na only you waka come. But, keep feeding your faith during the painful season of waiting! Romans 10:17. Something I've learnt; seasons of waiting are not seasons of inactivity. A lot is going on! GOD is working; orchestrating events. Happy New Month. 😇

WORD FOR THE DAY

If someone talks rudely to a person, it is important to remain calm and not react with hostility.

GUARD YOUR HEART AND SPACE!

The enemy has one goal; for you to change the way you're talking. The tongue is a creative force!  A few years ago, I literally was magneting good things, especially people of like minds, money, material things. Everyday favour was my lifestyle. I had a stubborn faith, it annoyed a lot of people, because they felt I was not being realistic, yet everyday brought even better favours. I got a job I didn't apply for;  a very good one!  B ut you see, when your faith is not being sharpened, even though you think you're standing, you'll wake up one day and realise you've hit the rock bottom! Guard your heart and space with all diligence! No matter who the person is, if they are not speaking your faith language, do not make room for them to feel comfortable with their faithless opinions and ideologies. If the church you attend doesn't stir your faith or belief, LEAVE!  Protect your faith journey by living daily on GODS' word and NEVER budge! THE WORD OF GOD WORKS! #
