Hello “realistic” world? How are you today? Feeling that life has been pretty tough on you lately huh?
Have you been telling yourself how difficult and impossible everything is? Well, let me ask you this… DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO YOUR FATHER IS? Do you really?! Ok, if you do so, why have you been living your life so afraid of the circumstances? Is it because you can’t see what’s ahead, or it’s because you’re so afraid of losing control of what everyone so call “reality”?
Let me ask you this as well, do you think that our Father in Heaven is a realistic being? HAHAHAHAHA… OH NOOOOO HE IS NOT! Are you crazy Cristina???!!! You are probably wondering. And… no, I am not! Do you read the scriptures? Haven’t you seen all the most amazing evidences there? (Holy cow! I am having a crazy thing for question marks today). LOL :0P
Alright, let’s get back.
So, as I was saying, the scriptures are full of the most awesome evidences that our Father in Heaven is everything but realistic. Let’s just look at Mary the mother of Jesus for example, how realistic was her amazing pregnancy when she was expecting baby Jesus? Can any of you tell me that huh? In today’s world, everyone would say “what the heck! That’s unreal. She got pregnant from the Holy Ghost? He’s not even a real a man!” Did you see what I mean? And yet, it happened. She gave birth to the greatest miracle on earth… our beloved Savior, born out of the most amazing unrealistic experience ever to be recorded in the history of the world. Come on, Cristina! You’re talking about Mary, the most strong, righteous, dedicate, humble, loving, pure and strong faith woman that have ever lived! Now, you are being very realistic about that, and true, she was all that. Guess what? She was just like you. Remember when the angel approached her with the news that she was the chosen one to give birth to the son of God, and what her response was? “Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?” (Luke 1:34) Her response to the angel’s announcement was in a very realistic way. How could she have a baby if she was not married or have give herself to any man? How could that pregnancy happen in any other way? Now remember what the angel told her “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” (Luke 1:37).
The world today is full of people who have been spreading this lie about a “realistic” world like a horrible disease. Everyone lives in great fear of the worst. When something unfortunate happens, they quickly quit on their dreams, and they say "that happened because God don't want me to this". Is like everyone’s mind is set in autopilot, expecting to God to do all the unrealistic part for them. And when He does, there’s still the doubt that comes right after to hunt them in think “that’s just a coincidence”
Now think of some unrealistic experience that has happen in your own life. Don’t you dare give me that crap saying that you never had one because that’s just being ultra pessimistic! God does not love me more than you, and of course he has give you the taste of His awesome power. How do you know that the air we breathe is real? Can you see it? Can you touch it? No, right? But yet, you know is keeping you alive at this very moment. Just because you don’t understand how air works, that does not mean that you are going to stop breathing just because you don’t get it. You just keep breathing, knowing that if keep doing that (breathing), you’ll live. That’s how our Father in Heaven wants us to be about his whole nature, to just trust him 100% like we are so sure about the air we breathe will keep us alive. You know you’re doing what you are supposed to do, why would think He’ll abandoned you? Why do YOU keep tell you self “this is so hard and so impossible” over and over again when this whole time He is not the one saying that at all… remember HE IS THE GOD OF THE IMPOSSIBLE, HE CAN DO ALL THINGS, NO MATTER WHAT THE HECK THAT THING IS! HE’LL DO IT! Now, is up to you to go to Him and ask and allow Him to work his miracle.
I’ll just tell you this, I am so in love with my Father in Heaven. And to allowed my self to become the most unrealistic person that I am now is the best thing ever! He has showed me so many things already and I can’t wait to see what else He has in store for me.
I know that many of you think that is so crazy and unrealistic what my husband and I are doing in leaving everything behind to go to Brazil like this. But you know what is the best part is? Is what I KNOW TO BE TRUE AND WHAT HE HAS ALREADY SHOWED ME. The gift of knowing God for yourself is greatest gift of all, to be sure with all your heart when he has spoken to you, to you alone, to your heart… is priceless.
I am so thankful for God’s amazing mercy and love.
I am not different from you, and don't even say “I want to be more like Cristina” you are YOU, the only thing that needs change is the way you think about yourself and about God. And nobody else wil do that for you. He loves you! But if you are not sure about that, go to him, seek for that prove that you need, tell him! Do like the brother of Jared, remember? The brother of Jared told the Savior how he could help him to have light. I challenge you to go unto the Savior with your own “stones” and tell him how would you like Him to have them shine for you. I did that, and I tell you this, it was a heck of an unrealistic experience. =)
