Have You Said Your 'I DOs' to God Yet?

Earlier this week, while I was praying, a series of words came out of my mouth that I hadn't really planned:

 God, I'm committed to you. God, I'm committed to this relationship.

 I know there have been - and will be - ups and downs, but I am committed to walking this journey of life with you.

 God, this is a marriage.

 All of a sudden, I paused, opening my eyes, to really think about those words. My next set of thoughts were: How had I never thought about my relationship with God like this?

 Because that's exactly what we are (or supposed to be) in with God: A marriage.

 For the first time in my life, in that moment of solitude and communion, I recognised that my relationship with God was totally a 'for better, for worse' situation. It was an epiphany point.

 Billions and billions of us have either said those words or will say those at some point - whether or not we realise the gravity of it at the time - in our lifetime.

 And if we can say those words to another human being, how much more God, with whom our relationship is truly eternal?

 Have you said your 'I DOs' to God yet?

 It might not have been in my own exact words, but have you expressed your dedication and commitment to Him yet?

 Yes, God knows exactly what's in your heart; He knows every word you'll ever utter before you even think it. But that doesn't mean He still doesn't want to hear it from you.

 Believe it or not, God has feelings too! 

 Most of us want to feel loved, cherished and know that our Significant Other is committed to us and our relationship - non-excluding God.

 He is your Significant Other - and you are His. 

 So, take out a moment today, walk up to your altar, and marry your God.
Love,

The Simple, Practical Solution To Reading More of Your Bible

At the beginning of the year, I decided I wanted to read the entire Bible - for the second time - in a year. (I also started using these amazing reading plans on my even more amazing Bible app, YouVersion. It's awesome; check it out! )  My aim is to get more of God's word into my head, mind and heart, and as a result, get to know Him better, as... "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was  God." (John 1:1) Simple, yeah? If God and His Word are one, then by getting to know one more, I get to know the other, right? But to achieve my goal, I obviously had to carve out more time to read God's Word.  Now, truth be told, I often find reading the Bible a little bit tedious (I'll have you know God appreciates my honesty), ESPECIALLY when it gets to certain, not-so-Jesus-loves-you-you-can-do-no-wrong-everything-is-all-GOOD chapters like Numbers, Leviticus and a few others (let's cut them some slack, shall we?). But I rea...

Let's Talk About Time: Where is Yours Going?

I've come to a stage in my life where one of the top 3 things I am most passionate about is how I'm spending my time. Why? It's one of the greatest gift God has given us - and a lot of the time, truth be told, we squander it. How you spend your time is a reflection of what you really care about. When you find that hours on hours are lost on online shopping, scrolling through Instagram, watching your favourite series, complaining about everything that's wrong in your life, it shows that's where you're truly most invested. It's where your heart and your mind are. Aside from chasing our passions and 'living our best life', how often do we remember that we are called to much more? That our lives are not just for chasing pleasures and being comfy? That we were created neither to just pay the bills or make loads of money? What are you doing with your time? It's a question I now ask myself everyday. It's so important to me not to go thro...

What Does it Really Mean to Have an 'Anointing'?

Isn't 'anointing' just one of those Christian words that tends to be used a lot but we generally don't really understand? I listened to a fantastic podcast by Joyce Meyer (Ministries) today, Don't Be Led By Your Head . Along with several amazing lessons I picked up from JM (who I looove ), she said something I believe everyone should know: an anointing is simply God's power and enablement in your life to do something. We all heard this word so much from our pastors, preachers and reverends growing up and it just seemed so fancy, no?! You think of 'the anointing' as this precious, fragile thing that only 'God's special people' (like those mentioned above) have access to... something so far from your reach. But do you know every Christian has the anointing of God in different ways and different things? Let me just clear something up: this doesn't have to be singing in church or being a home fellowship leader . You could have an anoint...
