You know how I value myself?<\/p>\n
I’ll talk about myself … the moment I valued myself.
\n<\/p>\n
It happened when I gave up everything to serve God.<\/p>\n
Even within the work of God, apparently serving Him, I never rejected to go where God sent me…but sometimes, deep inside, I let my flesh stay in control.<\/p>\n
That’s when, independently and by my own faith, I started to fight to become the kind of woman the Word of God teaches. I started to sacrifice, on the altar, everything that I discovered to be wrong in me.<\/p>\n
I found flaws…quite a few actually. I started emptying myself. I did everything I could to prove to God that I was truly determined to give myself to Him, wholly and not just verbally.<\/p>\n
I got rid of everything that I discovered to be wrong. All of my selfishness. This was until I discovered the root of all my problems. I was amazed at how many years had passed and still I hadn’t seen it! A trauma.<\/strong><\/p>\n Let me tell you, friend …. I cried for days. But it wasn’t out of sadness, but rather, because I felt so loved. I saw God Himself reveal to me who I was. I was ashamed of everything I had been and done because of it…but at the same time, I was grateful. Grateful because it only revealed how unconditional His love truly was.<\/p>\n I saw who I really was and the reason why I had had so many problems. I had provoked them!<\/p>\n The revelation is: value yourself. From that point onwards, you will understand everything else. Before I understood this revelation … I had to \u201chunt\u201d my flaws down.<\/p>\n Because I “hunted” … I was constantly in a watchful state. Problems are not synonymous with an \u201cend\u201d, actually, they are a great opportunity to use your faith to learn and to achieve the good that comes from it.<\/p>\n In other words …. The true value one gives to themself, requires:<\/p>\n Denying your flesh. The load that holds you back will be lifted; That’s why:<\/p>\n The truth is what you should yearn for, because it sets you free. And so…everything becomes lighter and simpler, so you can glorify Him without the burden of a religion, by becoming a \u201cdoer\u201d of the Word of God.<\/p>\n Gratitude and fear are always present inside me, because I saw my sin and God’s unconditional love. I can never be the same again or allow my faith to \u201cpark\u201d, because I’ve seen, with my own eyes, the truth of His Word through His Power and Love.<\/p>\n My dear friend … I’ll never stop, because I saw and see how much I truly need to depend on Him. My faults and errors strengthen me to proceed onwards in true<\/strong> faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ll talk about myself … the moment I valued

\nWe are only able to have this revelation, when we seek, incessantly, to “be” and not just \u201cdo\u201d for God.<\/p>\n
\nAnd because I was on watch, I analised all of my actions.
\nAnd because I analised…I was also willing to uncover the truth.
\nNo matter how much it would hurt, the truth was the only way out!
\nAnd because I was looking for the way out…I was looking for Jesus, who is the Owner of all Truth.<\/p>\n
\nSacrificing. It irradicates your selfishness;
\nHunting your flaws down. Why? Because it keeps you in spirit. This is what it means to \u201cwatch\u201d.
\nWatching. Why? Because you’re waiting for your Lord.<\/p>\n
\nLearning is a necessity. It shouldn’t offend, but rather, renew your mind.
\nWillingness to serve. It is not a burden, but a privilege to be able to “fly” to where God wants you to.<\/p>\n
