Words of encouragement

As I stand near the threshold of a new beginning, I have been hearing a lot of positive and encouraging words lately. And I need them very much.
In today's gospel, these words reverberated in my mind: "God never lets His people down" and went on citing examples of God's faithfulness to His people.
Yesterday's gospel talked about Hannah's granted prayer, to have a child (Note: I am not praying for that, but in olden times, children were seen as a blessing. And so when I said Hannah's prayer for a child was answered, it meant in generalization of God's different forms of blessings.) God works in mysterious ways, and He never abandons His people. May they believe or not, He continues to provide. People do not feel this because they believe that God is non existent. It's rather sad... on my part, I cannot judge the people who do not believe. It's the way they were able to see their situations, and there's nothing I can do about it.

I on the other hand, cannot go on living in the belief that God never existed. He was with me during those trying times. I have seen the miracles that manifested in my life, that is why, everyday, there's a reason for me to be excited, always on the lookout at what God has in store for me. :)

That's why, time and again, since it's my Creator who got my back, I can safely say: "SMILE, LIFE IS FULL OF PLEASANT SURPRISES!"

Looking back, my years in this world is really full of blessings. I could only smile and be thankful. True, I do not have the best things in life, but I have the BEST source of inspiration... my God, my Creator, my #1 fan! May all my dreams come true,... the dreams that God instilled in me... :)

Your ways, O LORD, make known to me; teach me your paths, 5 guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior. (R) 8 Good and upright is the LORD; thus he shows sinners the way. 9 He guides the humble to justice, he teaches the humble his way. (R) 10 All the paths of the LORD are kindness and constancy toward those who keep his covenant and his decrees. 14 The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him, and his covenant, for their instruction.
