Your Life will Never Change if you will not do Something about it
You need to do something. If you feel so stagnant in life, then you need to decide. Do you want to stay like that forever? Or do you want to see changes happen? You see, life will throw so many circumstances and unexpected events, and those things may push you to move, but it will never give you the assurance that you will grow. It depends on how you apply the lessons that you learned. And you will only figure out the lessons the moment you learn to pause and reflect on what happened. You need to ponder on your actions and the way you see things. You need to…

Romans 12:9, NIV
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Romans 12: 9, NIV Do not choose to love just because God asks you to do it. Instead, be sincere. Serve other people, especially those who hurt and mistreat you. That’s what separates you from the world. Choose to do good even in moments when you are challenged and in pain. Hate what is evil. Follow God’s commandments, and let His instructions be your guide. Hold on to what is good. The enemy may tempt you to take the shortcut and focus on the temporary pleasures but remind yourself that seeking the Kingdom of God is always…

Romans 12:5, NIV
So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. Romans 12:5, NIV We are part of the body of Christ. We are one in His eyes.

You may think that no one understands the pain that you feel inside, but Jesus knows what it feels like. He also went through suffering. He was rejected and condemned.

But deep within, the temporary pleasures that you feel will eventually lead you to destruction. So before everything…

Surrender to God and let His Grace Surround you
God wants to move in your life. He wants you to receive what He prepared. And sometimes, He will give you the unexpected in the form of grace.

He will show you what it feels like to believe in His promises without trusting in your own efforts and strength. Maybe you haven’t received the miracles that you’ve been waiting for simply because you are still trying to control your situation. You are relying on your own strength, thinking that it will birth miracles. But God moves according…

Consider therefore the kindness and the sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.

One day, God will judge us according to what we have…
