Despite the season I'm currently in, the word of God is constantly giving me hope. I might be down but not for long.My setback is a setup for my comeback. This is my awakening. With God, the future is bright, very bright, so I decided to put down a few reasons why I shall smile again. So, here goes it;
I shall smile again; because my God is a just God. Psalms 33:5
I shall smile again; because He alone knows the plans that He has for me, plans to prosper me and not to harm me; plans to give me a hope and a future.Jer 29:11
I shall smile again; because the war has already been won to every battle that I fight. Deuteronomy 20:4
I shall smile again ; because my God is a restorer, He will restore unto me what the enemy has stolen. Joel 2:25-27
I shall smile again; because the path of the just is as a shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day.Proverbs 4:18.
I shall smile again; because he gives beauty for ashes and the oil of gladness for mourning. Isaiah 61:1-3
I shall smile again; because God shall wipe away every tear from my eyes. Rev 21:4, 17:7
I shall smile again ; because God is faithful. Deuteronomy 7:9, 2 Timothy 2:13, 1 Corinthians 1:9
I SHALL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH!!

Did I miss God?
The year hasn't began on a very good note for me. I had hopes, dreams that I couldn't wait to see come to pass. I had prayed,had night vigils, quoted scripture, fasted and received a dream from God, or so I thought.I prayed for confirmation so many times and time and time again I'd get dreams confirming it. All I had to do now was be confident in what I'd seen, so I quoted extensively from Hebrews 10:35-38 and Acts 4:20.All I was waiting for was for the vision to come to pass. So I wrote it down as it says in Habakkuk 2:2-3, I made the vision plain so that i could run with it as i read it. I waited for it patiently because the word says we should wait for the vision even though it tarries.All through, I kept on seeing signs( or was I seeing my own things) and I thought things were on track.
I had faith. A friend had shared with us during devotions one time that you can't have faith without having your hopes up.So my hopes were high up in the heavens with my faith, after all doesn't the Bible say that he who comes to Him must believe that He is, and He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. The just shall live by faith, that was my motto.
As the year began, the signs seemed to get stronger, this was it, I thought, the vision is finally coming to pass. Then one morning at the height of all this I got information to the contrary. My dream was not going to be. I remembered my faith, hopes and everything else that was high up there, they all came tumbling down crashing me to smittherens.
Did I see wrong?Did I hear my own things? What about the signs?
Now my days are full of tears and sleepless nights have become the norm not to mention my dwindling appetite.I keep on thinking , if I dint hear God on this then it means I've never heard Him, this was something I was so sure about more than the skin on my flesh.
I took a look at myself in the mirror yesterday and couldn't believe how haggard i look. Red puffy eyes, pale skin not to mention the overwhelming sadness. I tried to pray and before I got to the second word my cheeks were awash with torrents of tears. And the way I thought I'm not a crier.
What I'm going through is so painful. Some ask how I am feeling and to be honest I feel crushed, mortified, overwhelmed and so much more that words can't describe.
All I need is to find God. Where did I loose Him? God is faithful no matter what I go through, I keep reminding myself. So like Job I will trust in Him even though He slays me.Job 23 is becoming ever so real to me in this season.
Lord, you are faithful, do that which only you can do.
