I can honestly tell you. This Spiritual Journey has been an adventure. I have loved every single season, and every stage. Why, because I have discovered they were all necessary! My attitude has always been the following: If it is necessary to move to the next level, bring it on! I KNOW, I’m convinced with no doubt that my God is faithful and not only that, he will not let me be tempted beyond what I can bear. See, this is all about trusting in whom you have believed! Therefore, I can surely rest in His peace, that only He can grant, and that peace that surpasses all understanding.

You wouldn’t believe me if I told you, I have learned to enjoy the trial of my faith and the afflictions, right?

That sounds fake and UN human like, and I totally understand no one will ever understand such thing, UNTIL they experience the mystery themselves. This is truly hard to believe! But it is the truth! See in God, every day you learn something new and lovely, that’s why I call it an adventure. Those are the things that melt me and keep me so passionate. There is deliciousness in God’s word. I love it! It surely gives me joy every morning and comforts me at night. Life has a different taste when He takes a hold of your life and you fully and completely surrender to Him and His purpose! Only then, you become an instrument of Justice for the glory of HIS NAME.

And I will conclude this thought with 2 scriptures that are the reference of my thoughts.

1 Peter 1:7-

“7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:”

2 Corinthians 4:17-

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,”
