Romans 8:5, NIV
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. Romans 8:5, NIV What are the things that you focus on? What are your concerns in life? Is it about the desires of your flesh? Or the important things that your spirit needs? You see, this world will somehow tempt you to focus on what you can see, taste and hear. There will be days when the desires of your flesh are stronger than the desires of your spirit. When that happens, always remember what the…

It’s all because of God’s grace. You may not see His hands but try to look back and reminisce about the good things that happened in your life.

Roman 6:23, NIV
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23, NIV We will end up in grave because of the sins that we committed. Sometimes, this is not about physical death, but the moment we sin in the eyes of God, our souls are also dying. Sin is like a great wall that hinders us from connecting to God. It separates us from His presence. But the good news is, God gave us an expensive gift that saved us from eternal condemnation. And it is through our Lord, Jesus Christ. Through His sacrifice on the cross, we are…

Romans 6:11,NIV
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6: 11, NIV If you believe that Jesus died and rose in the grave to save you, then you ought to live a new life with Him. You are already dead to sin, just as Jesus died on the cross. Stop living in the darkness. Instead, choose to follow the ways of God. Jesus will lead you to experience the fullness of this life. Stay in His presence and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit so that you will always be guided. Let the grace that Jesus poured out on the…

Your Fears will lead you to Build Big Walls around your Heart
The pain that you experienced in the past will create fear in your heart. If you don’t properly go through the healing process, you will always build walls to protect yourself. This is the reason why you need to face your fears. It’s not an easy thing to do because it’s heartbreaking, but you will only experience true freedom the moment your wounds are healed. You won’t be able to receive love if you keep on trying to remember the pain. Instead of enjoying what God prepared for you, the fears that you are carrying will negatively affect the way you look at God’s blessings. Not only that but your…

Romans 5:19, NIV
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19, NIV We are made sinners because of Adam’s disobedience. He chose to follow his own will. Because of this one man, sin is now flowing through our blood. This is the reason why nobody is perfect. No matter how much we try to do good things, we still can’t help but embrace our identity as a sinner. Because of this, God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ. And through His obedience, we are made righteous. It’s His blood…

Romans 5:8, NIV
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8, NIV Jesus didn’t die to save the righteous. He offered His life even when we were still sinners. He didn’t wait for us to change for Him to sacrifice Himself. This is how big His love is. He accepted us not because of our deeds and own efforts but because He treasures us for who we are. Jesus Christ already died for you even before you were born. You are already loved even before you realize what love is. So if you feel like nobody wants to be with…
