Jesus Is All I Have But He Is More Than Enough
I don’t know about you, but I really thought before that worldly success can absolutely complete my life. I strive so hard to achieve the things that I thought would make my life more meaningful. I rely entirely on my own effort and understanding and focus on the temporary things that I thought would last for a lifetime. I believed that I will be happy the moment I receive the things that I desired in my heart, but then at the end of the day, I still end up alone and empty on the inside. When I encountered the great love of Jesus in my life, I realized that all…

God Knows You So Well
Do you doubt yourself right now? Do you think that nobody really understands what you truly feel inside? If you believe that no one else can love you genuinely, then you are wrong. God created you, and He knows you inside and out. He understands your heart, and He knows what’s going on inside. So instead of downgrading yourself, choose to listen to the voice of God. He alone knows your real identity. We all feel some bitterness in life. We sometimes hate ourselves because we entertained the negative voices that tell us that we are worthless. We condemn ourselves too much, and we can’t even accept our mistakes. That’s…

Have Your Way Lord, I Surrender To You All My Pain
I’m left with no choice Lord. I don’t know where to go, I don’t know what to do. Maybe I’m just so tired of carrying all these burdens all along. I need you in my life right now. With my hands lifted high, I surrender to you everything that I feel inside. Have your way, Lord. I know that your plans are better than what I have in mind. I thought that I can make it on my own. I tried to keep everything inside because I don’t believe that someone can help me. I’ve been dealing with this battle alone. But now, I can’t carry it anymore. It’s so…

Choose To Serve God, And You Will Receive Real Treasures
There are things in life that this world can never give to us. It’s something that we can’t see, and it’s one of the most valuable treasures one could ever receive. It’s the gift of joy and love that only God can give. And most of the time, we will receive it when we learn to offer what we have to serve the people around us. The more we serve others, the more we receive His great love for us. God wanted to teach us how to honor the people that He also loves. He wanted us to love one another as much as we love ourselves. When we learn…

It’s All Because Of God’s Grace
Everything I have right now is all because of God. All the blessings that I received come from Him. I know that I’m simply nothing without Him. I owe my life to God, and I can’t make it this far without His great love. He led me to the right path, and He never let me go, not even once. All my life, I’ve been striving hard just to achieve the things that I’ve been dreaming of. I thought that everything is all about my own effort and understanding. I need to work hard and persevere so that I will be successful in life. Later on, I realized that my…

I’ll Choose To Praise You Even If It Hurts
When the pain is just so deep inside, I know that singing hymn of praise is very challenging. When I am so down, and I wanted to cry out, I just lift up my hands and surrender to Him everything. I know that praising Him is not easy, especially when it hurts inside, but it is the best thing to do when I’m so empty and hopeless. I can’t think of any other solution but simply to lift His name even in brokenness. It reminds me of the great things that God can do in my life. It is a powerful act of faith that simply means that I trust…

Learn With God And You Will Grow Constantly
Learning has been taught in a four-cornered room ever since we were a child. Sometimes, we limit the word in a certain context of our lives as we proceed to another one. However, ‘learning’, appears to be in a present and continuous tense, which means it settles in a process and process mirrors with continuing development. As life takes us at the end of a cliff, taking a leap is hard to do when our heart is speaking to be still. As life poured its shadows in our path, our vision may seem to ignore the light as it sees the dark. We tend to focus on things that are…

God May Be So Quiet, But He Is Neither Deaf nor Blind
Don’t stop praying. You may feel like God is not answering you because it seems like He is so quiet in your life, but always remember that He is not blind. He sees your heart. And He knows what you are going through right now. God is also listening to you. He will never abandon you in this season. There are really moments in life when we feel like God doesn’t exist because we can’t feel His presence. Sometimes it happens in the most difficult seasons of our life. We tend to look for God, and we somehow fail to recognize His presence. We thought that God already leaves us…

The pain that you feel…
