Romans 4:13, NIV
It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

Never Rely on your own Thoughts

You need to learn how to weigh things first, and the Holy Spirit can absolutely help you. Seek His wisdom and before you fully believe in your thoughts, filter them first according to God’s principles; only then will you be guided. This is very important simply because your thoughts will affect your…

Take a Rest so that you will Gain the Strength to Fight again
If you are too tired and exhausted, then all you need to do is take some rest. Pause for a while and allow your body, heart, and mind to recover.

You need to carefully evaluate your life…
