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…

God knows why it Hurts
Your tears are meaningful to God simply because He knows the stories behind them. So if you think that nobody cares for you, then remember your Heavenly Father. He knows what you are going through. He is aware of the exact reasons behind your deepest wounds. You are not alone. God understands you. In fact, He knows you better than you know yourself. 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. Stay in His arms and let His…

God’s got your back
The stronger the enemy attacks you, the greater the value will be. The enemy mostly attacks what is important to you. He strikes your relationships. He surrounds you with temptations and options, slowly destroying your treasure. Yes, you have the drive and the choice to make in your life, but that doesn’t excuse you from what the enemy wants from you. He will shower you with things that are very convincing yet very soul-destructive choices. He will convince you that you are only doing what’s best or maybe try to make you feel better from guilt by convincing you that it is what other people are doing. He could also…

There are days when you can’t find your way out. The future is so blurry, and it feels like you are surrounded by darkness.

Let God Change You
Change is vital in our lives. Like how the world evolves so fast, people also make haste to get along. We are all surrounded by things that affect our lives and make us continually experience changes. There are times when changes happen in your favor. You worked hard and made sacrifices. You willingly learn and humble yourself along the way and just focus on the things that will help you to be where you are right now. Because of your faith and hard work, you achieved victory and success. God may have blessed you with what you earnestly prayed for after waiting patiently and courageously overcoming difficult seasons in your…

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. Sometimes, your eyes are so focused on someone else’s life that you forget to take care of yourself. Rather than feeling envious of others, know they have been through a lot before they reached success. Don’t just see their victory but also learn from the process that they have been through. 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…

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…
