Only God Knows

They questioned Jesus, why do you always dine with dirty commoners and beggars? God doesn’t go to people because of who they are, He comes to us because of who He is to change the way we are.

The righteousness of God isn’t looking for righteous people, it searches for people dwelling in dirt to make them righteous.

The strength of God isn’t looking for the strong, it searches for the weak to make them strong.
The healing of God isn’t searching for the healthy, it searches for the sick to make them well.

When you’re lost in the field of life or backslide in faith due to irresistible challenges, many quickly call you a sinner, they judge and condemn you without a chance.

But you see my dear God is God , He doesn’t judge like man, and He hasn’t condemned you like the world already did, for He knows the real you, He knows you are precious to Him more than those judging and condemning you.

They condemned the thief and put him on the Cross, what did God do? He forgave him and welcomed him into Paradise.

It doesn’t matter how lost one is or what dark things one has done, the love of God encircles the world, so He will find you, and love you, everything damaged in your life, the time you were lost, He will recreate and remake all things new again.

Your parent gave birth to you and raised you, but they don’t know the real you, you grew up and find yourself in the midst of other humans from your parent, which are your siblings, do they know the real you? Not at all.

You moved around and made friends, they may know your type of dress, what your dislike or like, do they know the real you? No.

Later on you got married, your wife doesn’t understand you because she doesn’t know the real you, and your husband even if you explain to him from now till when the sky will fall won’t understand, because he doesn’t know the real you.

Only God understands the real you, “seul Dieu le sait” only Him knows what you’ve been through and what you’re going through.

There are times, we reply, “that’s not what I meant to say” when we are talking to people, it often results when there’s lack of communication and understanding, because no one can see the heart.

Only God can pierce to the dividing of the heart and discern all thoughts(Hebrew 4), whether we say the right things or not, God understands, for only Him knows the real us.

Only He who sees the heart knows us completely, apart from God, no one else knows the real us.
There are things no one else can understand about us no matter the explanation, but God understands it, only Him knows the real us, before you talk to people, talk to the One who knows the real you.

Why not talk to Him?
Goodbye the past, welcome the future.
The past kills the present, it kills the future, there is no way you can be happy in the present or in the future in the midst of the past.

We all have a past, what makes the difference is leaving it all behind and moving on like it never happened.

We do ourselves a great injustice if we at all times resent of actions, words or deeds of the past.
There is no life in the past, the life you have now is what you can call yours, you can’t undo past pain, past heartbreak and betrayals, but in this present you have a continued opportunity.

The past offers one chance to live better in the future, cease the lessons your past offered you and learn to become a better person in the future.

The past can’t destroy you, rather it teaches you, often it’s a mirror for a better future; a future where there will be less mistakes.

Ruth had a serious past, we know her story, it was a pathetic one, but she didn’t let the past control her destiny, from a widow she transcended to the wife of the most honourable man in the land, she was the great-grandmother of Jesus, through her past the Messiah came.

I speak to remind you that something good will rise from your past, and in this future, let all your past become a beautiful story.

When people look at you, they only have bad stories to tell from your past, but the Lord shall do a beautiful thing that shall replace all past stories, let every Ruth become a Queen mother and let every Jephthah become the honourable one.
