Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. (John 14:1)

Life can be full of troubles, but may not necessary to have our heart be troubled. Life is full of troubles; financial crisis from the United States of America has hit the European countries hard and coming over to Asia very soon, our jobs can be in troubles. Life is full of troubles; tainted dairy products from China are affecting wide across the world, babies are dying, and we are in troubles. Life is full of troubles; foreign workers are in living next to the rich at Serangoon Garden, no matter what the government tries to do, it does not seem to be able to appease these landed property owners, I can sense troubles stirring up; not by the foreign workers, but the residents of Serangoon Garden. Life is full of troubles; isn’t it?

But let not our hearts be troubled; let not our hearts be overwhelmed by what is happening around us; let our hearts continue to believe in God and in Jesus. Sometime, when I look at the amount of work I have and the amount of time I have, my heart can be troubled. How on earth can I ever complete them? Keep believing in God, and keep believing in Jesus. When your health is giving you problems, your heart can be troubled; but keep believing in God and in Jesus. When your career and future is uncertain and unclear, your heart can be troubled; but keep believing in God and in Jesus. When your marriage and some other significant relationships in your life are straining, your heart can be troubled; but keep believing in God and in Jesus.

By believing in God and in Jesus does not mean that your troubles will disappear miraculously. By believing in God and in Jesus does not mean that I will have more time and my work load will vanish into the thin air, but I can have the right focus and trust that God will be still pleased with me even though I cannot deliver my work. By believing in God and in Jesus does not mean that you will receive healing immediately, but you will know that God still loves you very much as you fix your eyes on Him. By believing in God and in Jesus does not mean that you will know for sure of your future and career path, but you know that God will guide you and lead you as you draw yourself closer to Him day after day. By believing in God and in Jesus does not mean that your marriage will be excellent, neither does it mean that your relationship with other significant individuals in your life will improve tremendously, but you will know that God is molding your characters through these relationships.

Let not your heart be troubled; believed in God and in Jesus. Let not your heart be trouble; read the love letter from God to you everyday to be reminded of His love for you. Let not your heart be in trouble; spend time dwelling in God’s presence every morning or evening, allowing Him to refresh you spiritually, emotionally and also physically. Let not your heart be trouble; meet up with fellow believers who also believe in God and in Jesus for encouragement and accountability. Let not your heart be in troubled; start sharing with others (including pre-believers) how is your journey with God and with Jesus. Only when you have a relationship with Jesus, then you can believe in Him. You cannot believe in God and in Jesus if you do not have a relationship with Him, then your heart will be troubled.

Let not your heart be troubled.
