This very moment I'm in the middle of asking so many questions about my life. I'm so confused, sad and depressed and I needed someone to talk to. I needed a friend but it seems nobody cares to just even listen to me.
But despite of all this, I'm still looking to the brighter side of life. I know God is always with me. I know He loves me.
As I am being emotional today, I browsed all my compilations of inspirational articles and stories to at least lift up my spirit. Here are some of the old articles from People's Tonight's column 'Silver Linings' by Gilbert Luis R. Centina III, OSA.
JOURNEY TO GOD
Journey to God starts with one small step at a time. He doesn't expect you to run a mile-- but HE promises to give you strength to go the distance.
I can love you but God can love you deeper. I can be friend but God can be your best friend. I can hug you but God can envelope you. You can cry to me but God can dry your tears. I can hold your hand but God can carry you.
When God puts a tear in your eye, it's because He wants to put a rainbow in your heart.
God often uses small matches to light up great torches and no matter how small you feel in this world, He has something in store for you.
Life is good when somebody remembers. Life is uplifting when someone is there. Life is great when someone would protect you.
Cherish life because Someone always cares.
Search for truth and you shall find beauty. Search for beauty and you shall find love. Search for love and you shall find God. Search for God and you shall find them all.
In God's eyes, love is never absent. In God's heart, forgiveness is never impossible. In God's embrace, is never alone or forgotten. God Bless!
God never closes a door without opening a window. He always gives us something better when He takes something away.
Walk with the Lord when your heart needs company. Take His hand when you feel all alone. Turn to Him when you need someone to lean on. He's the only one you can always rely on.
God made you a promise that you won't have to face life alone. For when you grow weak in your struggles, His strength will prevail and not your own.
God can reach each falling tear. He sees the heart that need a cheer. He knows the path that's hard and clear. Don't ever give up because He is near.
Step by step, the journey goes on. Little by little it may seem so long. The things we learn will keep us on. With faith in God he'll keep us strong.
Falling in love with the Lord is the greatest romance; searching Him, the greatest adventure; finding Him; the greatest achievement; and being with Him, the greatest source of happiness.
God said don't look around because you'll be impressed. Don't look down you'll be depressed. Just look to me all the time and you'll be blessed.
The Lord is waiting above to give you His grace and send you His love. Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, God always sends a rainbow after the rain.
If you have a problem, don't say "Hey I have a problem." Rather say, "Hey problem, I have a great God.
When God closes a door, He opens a window...but at times He shuts both. Worry not for He would tear down the roof...so His blessings could overflow, God Bless!
When God drops needles and pins along your path in your life, don't avoid them.Pick them up and collect them. They were designed to teach you to be stronger.
God did not promise days without pain; laughter without sorrow; sun without rain. But He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears; and light for our way.
Just sleep tight and thank God for the wonderful things He has blessed you. Be grateful and thank Him, because He will give you more important things.
God will never leave you empty. He will replace everything you lost. If He asks you to put something down, it's because He wants you to pick up something greater.
God is truly wise. He made sadness so we'd know joy, pain so we'd have pleasure, war so we'd seek peace, hate so we can love and morning so we can face a new day.
A word of love give spice to life. A word from a friend gives pleasure and happiness to the heart. And the word of God gives light and meaning to our lives.
If you keep God inside your heart, there is nothing that will come into your life that you won't be able to handle.
Sometimes God pushes us to our LIMITS...He tests us beyond our ENDURANCE, because He has greater FAITH in us than we have in ourselves.
God makes us brave when we're afraid, makes strong when we are weak, but most of all, he teaches us to hold on to Him when things keep falling.
Trusting God won't make the mountains smaller but it will make climbing easier. Hope you will be able to climb all your mountains today and everyday.
Don't let little things get you down. You've got many big reasons to look up to God. and say thanks. it's going to be a great day.
God sees you just exactly as you are. He sees you perfectly and more truly than people can, and He loves you more than you can never imagine.
When things are not working as we expect them to be, take it as God's subtle way of touching us to grow. The process may be difficult but it will surely bring the best out of you.
Little trials without God will break you. Big trials with God will make you great. May you always find strength in God's love and faithfulness.
No one has traveled the road of success without even crossing the street of failures. God never promised us an easy journey in life, only safe arrival.
In the ocean of life, God is our bouyant force. No matter how strong the wind and how gigantic the waves are, we will not sink because we are anchored by HIM.
