Day 468 – Luke 22:42
“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:42, nIV This was Jesus’ prayer the night before He was arrested and crucified. It wasn’t an easy thing for Him to do. Imagine He will shed His blood and carry the wrath of the Father so that we will have the chance to experience eternity with Him. This moment is so heartbreaking. Jesus even asked God to take the cup from Him. He knows that what He is about to experience is so excruciating. But despite what He felt, He chose to acknowledge the will of the Father. He humbly…

When God shows you just a Small Piece of the Whole Puzzle
God’s ways are always mysterious. Most of the time, He will just show you the next step instead of the whole staircase. And it’s up to you if you will continue to walk or not. God’s plans are too great that we can’t simply comprehend them in one setting. That’s why He needs to take us to the process so that we can fully embrace the purpose that He planted in our hearts. If you are still trying to figure out the things that you want to do for Him, then keep this in mind – obey Him even if He only showed you just a small piece of the…

God’s Blessings Flow Endlessly
God’s blessings will continue flowing in your life as long as you are still breathing. You are blessed the way He knows and loves you.

Learn how they built their courage beyond the uncertainties that they felt. Learn how they remain in their faith and hold on to God’s promises when they have all the reasons to break down.…

Something in your Life will Always be more Significant Than your own Desires
To experience absolute freedom in this life, you must acknowledge the reality that there will always be something and someone more significant than you. Doing your best based on being recognized is fine, but to be the best of the best in one thing will only bring you a distraction. Being on the top will give you an ecstatic feeling that is very addicting but know that that place is replaceable. You will never be satisfied if you just have yourself on your life’s journey. If you only rely on happiness for things that you will achieve, you will not experience genuine peace and absolute joy. Real success and victory…

Allow God to Help you Deal with your Trust Issues
You won’t be able to fully embrace God’s blessing in a relationship if you are still dealing with a lot of trust issues in your heart. You can’t fully appreciate the people around you if you keep building walls that will stop them from coming inside. You won’t be able to experience what it means to truly love others if you do not open your heart. Trust may not be easy to give because of the pain that you experienced, but you will feel like you are in a cage if you always keep your heart hidden. Things in your life will be limited. Yes, you need to protect yourself…

Day 465 – Luke 22:40
On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” Luke 22:40, NIV After the last supper, Jesus and His disciples went to mount olives. There, He reminded them to keep praying. Let’s also do the same thing. Remember that temptations are all around us. The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy. He would tempt us to do things that would keep us away from God. And the best way for us to fight those negative thoughts is to pray. Let’s surrender our lives to God and allow Him to reign in our lives. Let’s ask for His guidance and remember that only…

Your Worries can never Lift you Up
If you want to survive, then look for things that will push you to keep going. Your worries can never do that for you. Things will remain complicated if you will keep on thinking about your unanswered prayers. You will never value the blessings around you if you focus on what you don’t have. Your worries can never solve your problems. In fact, they will just lead you to the dark path. And the sad thing is, what you are worrying about never really exists. They are just mere imaginations that seem to appear so real in your head. Choose to live in the present. Wake up and look at…
