God does not speak to us in the past and he does not speak to us in the future, he speaks to us in the present and it is there that we experience God.

So let’s take our minds off what has been and stop worrying about what is to come. Lets take time out and focus on encountering God in the present.

Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls (Matt 11:28,29)

If You haven’t found what you are looking for, Keep on Looking!

“What no eye has seen,

                                what no ear has heard,

                and what no human mind has conceived” —

                the things God has prepared for those who love him.
