A Very PRESENT Help

 

God is our refuge and strength, a very PRESENT help in trouble (Psalm 46:1)

LIFE is a succession of present moments. The past actually doesn’t exist and the future also doesn’t exist, the only thing that exists is the present. Life is lived in the present. The only thing we retain from the past is the memory of it, but holding on to the past is so bad as if you would refuse to go to the toilet to eliminate the waste food of yesterday.

What yesterday was a delicious meal that you enjoyed so much, today is a stinking and unpleasant waste that you need to eliminate from your system. If your system doesn’t eliminate correctly you get fat and sick. The same for our spirits. The past, whether good or bad is gone and holding on to it just causes your spirit to get sick and you lose happiness.

Even God, He is the great I AM, not the I was nor the I will be . He is a very Present help in trouble. He is, not was or will be. The only life we have to live is NOW. There are beautiful things happening right now in your life, in my life. Now, now, now! Jesus is present right now! Call on Him now if you are tempted to fear the future or hold on to the past. He IS your Saviour today, not tomorrow, not yesterday!

You are important

by Carlos Viana

But you don't feel like that! You think about all the people that are "more important" than you. People that have more favour with God and men because they are "good", they are "loving", they are "more blessed", and they don’t have all these weaknesses that you have.
In your eyes, somehow, they are way above out of your reach. You try not to get jealous, or bitter. You struggle with all these thoughts and feelings, and you feel such a mess.
