Is it okay for Christians to cry?

It's been an overwhelming week & my initial game plan was to just 'suck it up' and get through the week without crying, which actually worked for a while until something happened & I ended crying like a baby 😭. Well... that wasn't part of the plan at all. This made me realise a few things: ▪️ It's okay to cry. This is something that I'm still coming to terms with and what comforted me was the fact that even Jesus wept (John 11:35). Crying does not mean that you're weak. ▪️ If you don't deal with your emotions, then your emotions will deal with you. If I had dealt with those overwhelming emotions earlier on during the week then I wouldn't have broken down. ▪️ I am human & not a robot, which means that there will be things that make me sad at times; things that are sometimes beyond my control and even then my trust must be in Jesus. ▪️There is nothing that I cannot overcome.

Your faith is needed ...

Ever felt like your life was dry and that you are not where you should be in life? Well, that was me yesterday. I felt as if I'm behind in life and that nothing major was happening for me, but moments later these questions came to mind: "Are you full of faith?" "Do you believe that God is able? ". That's the same thing that I'm asking you. Those two questions reminded me of the simple fact that God works with our faith (Hebrews 11). We need to continue to believe that God is able to do the impossible because it is through those miracles that God will draw people to Himself. People are watching our lives & our faith is needed to produce testimonies. I wanna challenge you to dream big & believe that God is able to do the impossible. - K 💕

One moment you're thinking about how far you have come, the next is about the amount of work you still need to catch-up on, or what you will be having for lunch.The truth is that I have been guilty of doing this quite often. I have been guilty of letting my mind wander which has also had an impact on my emotions. What exactly does it mean to "let your mind wander?" According to Phrase Finder, it means to let whatever thought come into your mind without you directing those thoughts. This explanation makes something clear to us: we have to control our thought-life. How do we do that? Lets find out from the scriptures.  2 Corinthians 10:5 says "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."   "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought...
