Day 478 – John 1:48
“How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.” John 1: 48, NIV Nathanael wondered why Jesus knew him, and that’s when he realized that His Savior saw Him even before they met. You see, many times we think that nobody knows us. People try to throw so many judgments about who we are, yet they don’t have any clue about the things that we are facing. They act as if they know us by heart. But the truth is, only Jesus knew and saw everything that happened in our lives. He is aware of…

God will teach you how to redirect your perspectives
Your perspective is as essential as it is with breathing. Your soul breathes through it and how you will lead your life depends on it. You can empower yourself by starting with how you view things in life. It is like your soul’s eyes. That is why, how you see things will reflect your actions and words. But along the journey, God will help you. Remember, nothing is wrong with you. There are just things that you need to change for your own good. He loves you so much that He wants you to see more treasures in this life. Sometimes, God will expose us to things we cannot understand.…

I’d rather take the Pain than live Life without Real Joy and Love within
I thought a happy life meant living without pain and problems. I thought it was about protecting yourself from potential heartaches. You see, wounds are scary. They can traumatize you and lead you to misery. It’s not good. Period. This was my mindset before, and because I was full of fear within, the pain became my number one enemy. I tried to live life protecting myself from the things that could possibly break me in the end. I was like a tiny house built on a very weak foundation. My roof was made of leaves, my windows were wide open because of the wounds, and I don’t have any doors…

Day 477 – John 1: 46
“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip. John 1: 46, NIV Philip extended the good news to Nathanael and told Him that the One Moses wrote about was here, Jesus from Nazareth. And Nathanael wondered if this was true. He didn’t expect that good thing could still happen in Nazareth. Yes, it’s just a small town, and people in the days of Jesus didn’t really expect that God would choose this town as the place where the Messiah would grow. Like Nathanael, we also have this tendency where we tend to underestimate the small things in our lives, thinking that God will no…

Surrender the Things you Badly Wanted to Control
God knows you better than you know yourself. You may badly desire something to happen in your life, and you can’t help but always think about it, but if you want to receive the best, then choose to surrender. You may have your own timeline, but God knows what you truly need. Surrender the desire to control the things that you long to experience and let the creator of this world take good care of you. He knows what’s ahead. Surrender the pen to Him, and let Him lead you to the path that He orchestrated. You can’t simply rely on your own understanding. There are still things that you…

Day 475 – John 1:43
The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.” John 1:43, nIV Jesus didn’t look for His disciples in places He just accidentally discovered. He knew who they were even before He called them. He knew their backstory, their weaknesses, and the things that were going on in their hearts. Jesus intentionally looked for them, just like what He did to Philip. He knew that He wouldn’t find His next disciple in Galilee. That’s why He purposely left there and found Philip. And just like what He did to Philip, Jesus is also intentional in asking you to follow Him. If you…
