“Step into a new chapter on an unknown path and trust in miracles and in God’s power, where everything is possible.” — Serenity Huyen Nghiem Tinh
Life often presents us with unexpected turns and challenges, moments when we feel compelled to venture into unfamiliar territory. In these moments, it can feel like we’re being guided by something greater than ourselves—by God, the Creator of the universe, nudging us toward an unknown path. Initially, fear may arise, for this is not our planned path. Yet, when we lean into faith and trust God’s power, we open ourselves to the miraculous.
A Journey of Faith Begins
In July of 2024, I experienced such a calling. There was an inner pull, a voice urging me to travel to California for the Walmart Seller Summit in San Francisco. I followed this call with faith, but things did not go as I had expected. After the summit, I returned home without immediate plans for another trip. I had hoped for success but found disappointment instead. Yet, when I thought I’d pause, two interviews came my way, pushing me to return to California sooner than anticipated. However, once again, things did not unfold smoothly. My car, being shipped to California, caught fire. Many of my belongings were damaged or lost in the blaze. As I stood amidst the ashes of this unexpected disaster, I had a choice: to be consumed by fear and frustration or to trust in the process. Deep in my heart, I chose faith. I believed that God’s hand guided me even on this unknown path.
Faith in the Unknown
To embark on a new journey, particularly one where the path is not yet visible, requires extraordinary bravery. It’s the kind that comes from believing in something greater than yourself. The world teaches us to rely on what we can see and understand, but faith asks us to trust what we cannot yet see. It encourages us to surrender our fears and doubts, knowing there is a more excellent plan at work. Trusting in God’s power is about letting go of control and opening our hearts to the possibility that anything is possible, even the miraculous. It can be tempting to doubt when life throws challenges our way, but every obstacle is an opportunity for growth. No matter how uncertain, each step brings us closer to the understanding that we are never alone. God walks with us, blessing our journey, protecting our hearts, and guiding us toward our purpose.
Miracles Happen When You Trust
Miracles are not always grand, earth-shattering events. Sometimes, they are small, quiet moments where things simply fall into place. When we trust in life’s process and the divine’s power, we open ourselves up to receiving these miracles. A closed heart cannot see the beauty and wonder that life offers. But when we walk with faith, we become attuned to the daily miracles that surround us. Think of the countless stories in scripture where miracles unfolded when faith was present. Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding was a miracle born from trust and faith. Moses parting the Red Sea was an act of courage fueled by divine intervention. These miracles were not just about the events themselves but about the faith that made them possible. In our lives, we too can witness miracles—healing, transformation, moments of unexpected grace—if we only trust God’s power and believe that everything is possible.
Courage to Embrace the Journey
Courage is not the absence of fear but the ability to move forward despite it. As we step into a new chapter, it’s natural to feel apprehension. The unknown can stir up fear, but it also brings the promise of growth and new beginnings. With God by your side, you can face the unknown with courage. Remember that you are not just walking alone; you are being guided every step of the way. When you trust in God’s plan, you also trust yourself. You are trusting in the strength, wisdom, and resilience that you carry within. It takes bravery to face life’s challenges with integrity and grace and even more with compassion, forgiveness, and a kind heart.
The Power of Kindness and Forgiveness
Kindness and forgiveness are potent companions on this journey. When you trust in God’s power and the miracles around you, you begin to see the world through compassion. You understand that everyone you meet is on their own path, facing their battles. By choosing kindness, you uplift others and bring healing to yourself. Forgiveness is one of the highest forms of love for yourself and others. When you forgive, you release the burdens of the past, allowing yourself to move forward with a light heart. It takes courage to ignore, but it is through forgiveness that we find freedom.
Inner Peace and Happiness
An indescribable peace comes from trusting in God and in the miracles of life. This peace does not depend on external circumstances but comes from within. The calm allows you to face storms with a quiet heart, knowing that you are always held and protected. Happiness is not just about joy in the good moments but about finding contentment in the present.
