βHe is clothed with strength and dignity; he smiles at the future.β P31:25
Hello, my dears, today I want to tell you how radiant I am with joy, and my smile is so wide that many people are unable to understand why I am so happy, even though I am going through some trials. But what He always reminds me is that HE is the reason for my joy, so if He is with me at all times, there is no reason to be sadβ¦
Today I have already jumped, danced and sang with Him and for Himβ¦
And I was reflecting on my journey⦠I have been in this beautiful ministry for 9 years, and looking at my life now and seeing exactly where He has taken me, I confess that I feel like I am on the highest peak of a mountain, looking down from above and contemplating everything that was left behind. Oh my dears, there were so many burdens that were released, things that I needed to let go of so that the climb would be lighter, things that I also needed to pick up to carry, because He told me to do so⦠And I remember exactly when I arrived at RMI, I was so broken, so hopeless⦠but I want to focus on the wonderful blessings, because they were and have been many!!!
I know that the pain was necessary, but today there is no pain at all, the journey was long and often arduous, but it was worth it to get to where He has brought me now, and I just want to say to you, dear friend, who has just reached the starting line of this journey, that you do not give up, because if you hold on to His hands and let Him guide you, and enjoy the journey with Him, I guarantee that along the way, everything will become light. You may be imagining that the long journey is heavy and tiring, but I have to tell you, my dear friend, it is not. Quite the opposite. With Him, it is light and wonderful. I can also tell you that I am living a true romance with Him. I am in love, I am sick with love. I can feel butterflies in my stomach, and my heart warms even more when I have the opportunity to sing beautiful love songs to Him and with Him. Oh, how my moments with Him have grown stronger every day, because every morning when I wake up, I reserve the first few minutes of my day to connect with Him. Every morning, it is just Him and me, because I take my daughter to school very early, and then I make sure that I am completely alone with Him and free from any distractions. I close my eyes and feel like the woman in Proverbs 31:25, βshe smiles at the future.β And, of course, I can also imagine our Beloved laughing back at me (laughs). And literally in those first minutes of the day I am this woman who smiles at the future, I focus on the deepest feeling of love that He has for me and I start to smile, and for a few minutes I simply allow myself to smile. It is amazing how after doing this, I feel joy overflowing in my heart, this really works for me, it is so powerful how He comes and lifts my spirits and gives me strength to continue my day in a light way with Him.
Dear friend, always remember to look to Him, to listen only to His soft and sweet voice guiding you, if He calls you to climb any mountain, believe that when you reach the top, you will find everything that our Husband promised you, because guided by Him, everything will always make our journey lighter and smoother.
Be encouraged!
Thank you dear Marta, and I join you in encouraging other Brides to continue, even if you are in pain and see the storm, walking with Our Beloved gives us new life, makes us raise our hands in adoration, and praise Him for all that He gives us, because we begin the Journey defeated, but He takes care of easing and healing our path, so that we love Him more each day and see the future smiling.
It’s true, dear Liza, it’s so wonderful to be reminded every day that we have Someone who is by our side all the time! He never takes His eyes off us and is attentive to everything that concerns our lives!

Dear Marta, our Beloved Lord is so amazing. This weekend I was also reflecting on my journey; where I started and where I am now. I can’t believe the amazing work He did in my, pulling me out of my despair and placing me on a mountain, full of joy and peace that is indescribable. No, the journey wasn’t always easy, BUT it was so worth it, and I will not exchange it for anything!
Thank you, dear Adina, for sharing with us how our Beloved has also guided you on this beautiful journey. I am so grateful to God for being able to share so much love that He bestows upon my life! His greatness in all things is incomparable! He is truly always so gentlemanly and full of affection, inviting us to be in His arms! π©·

Thank you precious Marta for this beautiful praise report. It is really so wonderful that we can smile at the future, because He has our future in His hands. And I agree the journey wasn’t always easy, but so worth it when I look back. And I am so grateful He walks this journey with me, because with Him everything is worth it.
Dear Janine, thank you for your comment, and I also agree with you “with Him everything is worth it” because He uses all circumstances to transform us into brides we never imagined we would be! He is perfect, isn’t he!! π
