God may send you the Right People, but it Doesn’t mean you won’t Experience Pain with them
Life is not perfect. There will be pain along the way. If you wanted to align to God because you no longer wanted to encounter heartaches, then it’s time to accept the truth that as long as you are living here on earth, you will go through pain. And it’s not that people wanted to hurt you. It’s just they are imperfect humans who are also going through so much in life. They are also walking along the healing process, and you need to be patient with them. The right people still have the potential to disappoint and sometimes hurt you. But the good thing is, they will never lead…

God is Alive and Still Moving
Painful tragedies, sudden death, uncontrollable disasters, poverty, corruption, and many more. These are the things that pushed some of us to believe that maybe God is sleeping because He allowed these bad situations to happen. Maybe He is not there because people are still suffering. Maybe He doesn’t care because innocent human beings are still going through traumatic experiences. We find it so easy to conclude that God no longer cares. We base our faith in Him according to what we go through and what we see in our environment, but faith is not like that. It exists even if you can see bad things around you. In fact, you…

Since I started to treat you as my King, my life didn’t immediately change. I was faced with the hard reality that I needed to conquer the consequences of my wrong choices. It was not easy.
