Sometimes, you can find the Answers in Moments of Silence and Peace
We all seek answers, especially in situations that we cannot understand. There will be moments in our lives when everything seems too much. There is too much noise whispering to us what we are supposed to be doing. There is also noise that could affect our situation. Such words only make our worries and doubts worse. However, answers are often found in places and moments where noise is absent. You need to put yourself in a place where you can think alone and listen intently to your thoughts. Things in your mind that are sometimes left unanswered will always wire themselves into something that will make things worse. That is…

And because you focus on yourself too much, you tend to forget the rest of the things that God entrusted to you. The unexpected twists turned out to be the reason why you always magnify your situation. There’s nothing wrong with dealing with your problems, but if you only focus on them, you won’t be able to appreciate the future that God prepared. Don’t…

Day 473 – Luke 24:2-3
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. Luke 24:2-3, NIV It was the first day of the week when the women went to Jesus’ tomb and took some spices with them. But as they approached the area, they noticed that the stone in His tomb was rolled away. When they entered, they did not see the body of our Savior.

Take things one at a time
Doubt kills more dreams than fear. That is because, even before we attempt to do something, our thoughts are already a mile away, creating things that never really happened. Of course, our minds will always create doubts, but that doesn’t mean you need to follow them. Sometimes, when you are given an opportunity, you can’t help but overthink until you reach the point of constantly doubting yourself. Doubt is not a bad thing, we all go through with it, but it is a matter of how you will handle it. When you listen to your doubts, it will shake your core. And it does not stop there. It will also…

Don’t let other people’s standards dictate your direction
Having someone happy can also make you feel the same. It feels great when you finally get validation and acceptance from the people you seek. However, although it feels great, it could also be a reason that you will forget yourself along the way. It’s part of our nature to feel loved and valued. However, because we are too hungry for it, we carelessly welcome every opportunity without deeply thinking about how it could affect us. Seeking validation is fine, but looking for it in the wrong places and people is not. You need to understand how to decipher good advice from expectations. Good advice will always give you room…

Day 471 – Luke 23:46
Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last. Luke 23:46, nIV These are the last words that Jesus said before He died on the cross. In His last breath, Jesus chose to commit His spirit to our Heavenly Father despite all the pain and suffering that He experienced. He didn’t resent the will of God. Jesus chose to humbly accept it. He didn’t feel bitter because God chose to save us rather than Him. He lived and died according to God’s purpose and timeline. His life is a very wonderful reminder for us to…

Sometimes, Losing means Gaining in the presence of God
Losing is not bad, but it is a matter of perspective. When you lose, you feel like a part of you has been torn apart or taken away from you. What’s worse is that you feel like what you have been working so hard for suddenly fades like nothing happened. Watching what you have worked hard for just taken for granted by the people who did not even know what you’ve experienced is painful. When your efforts and sacrifices depend on the standards of people who will not see your value, then whatever you do will never meet their expectations. That is why it is vital to put your measures…

You may ask why it hurts so much, but He holds the answer. If you think you can no longer handle the pain, then cry it out to God, and He will give you the comfort and assurance you need.
