1 Peter 3:3-4 

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment such as braided hair, and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the hi fading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit 

Today I reflected that this gentle and quiet spirit refers to a heart that fully trusts and rests in God. A mind that fully believes that God is good no matter what- that in the end ALL WILL BE WELL even in the pain. It is a heart that isn't restless and striving all the time- to fight for ourselves and to defend ourselves. It is a heart that allows yourself to be vulnerable , to lay down our arms and to just trust that God is fighting for us. 

Now I've realized that I've fallen short in saying yes to this beautiful promise. I always put my guard up. I always have to fight for myself. I always have to make sure I'm not vulnerable or don't seem vulnerable. I realized that in my striving to prove something and to stop people from hurting me, I've stopped losing faith and even sin in the process. 

Tonight I have made that decision. to know when I should fight for myself and to know when I should allow myself to vulnerable. 

Right now I'm hurting because I've been betrayed by several people. Their friendship mattered. it's supposed to hurt. And that is okay. I'm going to cry and let the tears flow. Let the wounds ache. I have complete faith that in my weakness he is strong. He is fighting for me. He is bringing me my beauty. 

Today I was overwhelmed by the love and support of my friends Marga Japs Bea Agus Ica and Josef.As well as my family. Now when you're surrounded by so much love in your life, the pain you feel gets drowned out. What more if I get an infinite source of love from my Father who is not only drowning out the pain so it will eventually disappear, but in the process making me stronger and bringing something beautiful in the end. 

God is always good.
