2 Corinthians 5:7, NIV
For we live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7, NIV Paul wrote this verse after he said that as long as we are in this earthly tent, we groan and are burdened (2 Corinthians 5:4). Then, he encouraged them to activate their faith and not allow the circumstances around them to destroy their relationship with God. Indeed, there are seasons in life wherein we will be challenged to keep our faith. It usually happens when we go through challenges or pain. It somehow gives us a taste of how it feels like to be away from God. It takes faith to believe that good things will still happen…

1 Corinthians 1:25, NIV
For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. 1 Corinthians 1:25, NIV No one can ever fathom the wisdom of God.

Humbly accept His corrections because He knows what’s best for you. Aside from that, rely on His strength because He will sustain you. Do not anchor yourself on a weak foundation. Go to God, and He will help you stand. He will give you the grace to overcome your problems. His…

1 Corinthians 1:18, NIV
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18, NIV The cross doesn’t always make sense to others. They can’t seem to understand the reason behind what Jesus is doing. They are not even aware of its power. But for us who are saved by grace, we know that the cross is more than just a symbol. It’s a representation of God’s love. The pain that Jesus experienced on the cross should’ve been our punishment. But God wanted to save us from the eternal consequences of our sins. That’s how…

1 Corinthians 1:9, NIV
God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:9, NIV Remember this verse if you are going through so many struggles in life and you feel like there’s no hope left.

Know that your God is faithful, and His promises will remain. His grace will be there to sustain you. He will give you everything that you need, including those things that you never asked for.

Romans 15:7, NIV
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. Romans 15:7, NIV Remember how Christ accepted you despite all your mistakes and sins. He never condemned you nor recalled what led you to experience brokenness. Jesus chose to love the sinners. He hates the sins, but He cares for the sinners. So, when someone commits a mistake that greatly affects you, then just remember the way Jesus held you when you were drowning in the darkness. Show compassion. Love others. Extend His grace. Accept the person as who He is. When you do that, you will bring honor to the name of God.…

Romans 14:10, NIV
You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. Romans 14:10, NIV Don’t quickly judge the people around you. Don’t focus on the negative things that they did. Give them the space to grow and become a better person. Find a way to live in peace with others. Treat them just like how God treated you. Let His kindness lead you to love and serve others. Remember that one day, we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. We will give an account of the things that we did to our brothers and…

Romans 14:7, NIV
For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. Romans 14:7, NIV Keep in mind that Jesus is your Lord and King. So don’t act as if you live and die for yourself. Treat Him as the source of your strength. Live for Him. Sometimes, it means allowing our selfish desires to die and let the Holy Spirit reign. It won’t always be easy because you will feel that there’s an unseen battle within. But never do things on your own. Rely on God. Have faith in Him. Live to seek His face and magnify His name. Only then will you realize that…

Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh. Romans 13:14, NIV Focus on following Jesus. Remember His ways, and never forget those moments when He gave you life-changing lessons. Do His will despite the negative things that are going on deep within. When you do this, the desires of your flesh will no longer control you. The enemy won’t be able to tempt you to follow the principles of this world. If you put Jesus at the center of your life, you will always be guided. So connect to Him every single day. Thirst for more of…

The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Romans 13:12, NIV Put on the armor of light. Choose to love the people around you. Abide in God’s instructions. Let Him direct you. The night is nearly over. Jesus will reign. His Kingdom will manifest on earth as it is in heaven. Hope is here. So don’t allow the darkness to reign. Let go of your sins, surrender your selfish desires, and let God be the author of your life. Put aside the deeds of the darkness. Don’t allow the lies of the…

Romans 13:8, NIV
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8, NIV Love fulfills the law. When you choose to share God’s love with the people around you, then it means that you won’t do anything that could possibly harm or destroy them. If you only knew how much God loves His people, then you will also learn to respect and serve them the way God loves and respects you. Do not allow your selfish desires to reign. Because when you do, there’s a tendency that you will compromise your relationship with other people. The temporary fleshly desires…
