Day 455 – Luke 17:4
Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them. Luke 17:4, NIV Choose to forgive those people who hurt you. Remember how Jesus sacrificed His life just to show you that your sins are forgiven. So extend that grace to those who need it. Don’t keep what He gave just for yourself. Freely give what you freely receive from God. Do it also not for the sake of those people who hurt you, but treat it as a gift for yourself. When you forgive someone, it’s like you are also releasing yourself from the…

Don’t allow your Circumstances to Define you as a Person
The challenges around you can never define who you are. Just because you experienced rejection doesn’t mean you are not enough. Just because you commit mistakes doesn’t mean you are a failure. Let the circumstances you face shape your heart and mind, but don’t allow them to disturb your soul. You are God’s creation. And that means He alone determines your true identity. Don’t doubt yourself. Don’t judge your life according to the problems that God allowed you to face. The difficulties you encounter can never change your identity in the eyes of God. He will always look at you with love regardless of the circumstances in front of you.…

Day 454- Luke 17:3
So watch yourselves. “If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Luke 17:3 NIV If someone caused you some pain and sinned against you, then rebuke them. Share to them the wrong things that they did and do it a gentle way. And if they repent and ask for forgiveness, then give them the grace that they need. We live in an imperfect world, that’s why we need those people who will point out our sins and open our eyes to the things that we can improve. We must not treat them as our enemy. Instead, be grateful if you are surrounded…

Day 453 – Luke 16:13
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” Luke 16:13, NIV You can only serve one master at a time. If you are in the middle of a battle right now because you are worried about getting more money at the same time serving God, then let this remind you about the things that you need to focus on. Set your eyes on the One thing that can bring you through eternity. Serve God and put His kingdom first. Everything else will then…

Day 452 – Luke 15:10
Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. Luke 16: 10, NIV What are the small yet important things that God entrusted to you in this season? How did you steward them? Choose to be faithful to the little blessings that God gave you. Maximize what you have for His glory. You may think that they are not that relevant, but He is looking at your heart. He wants to see if you can be trusted with what He gave. Do not waste the small blessings that you received from Him. Make…

Day 451 – Luke 15:7
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. Luke 15:7, NIV At some point, we are also one of those sinners who need to repent. And heaven is rejoicing over us the moment we sincerely ask for God’s forgiveness. So if you are living a life of sin. Remember that God is just waiting for you to come to Him. Ask for His forgiveness. Change the way you think and choose to repent. And if you know people who are still struggling with their sins, then choose…

Day 450 – Luke 14:27
And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. Luke 14: 27, NIV Following Jesus is not easy. You need to carry your cross. There will be challenges along the way, and it feels like the world is against you. Many times, you will feel tired, but keep going. The journey may not be that smooth and simple, but it’s worth all the tears and effort. Being with Jesus is like a reward that is greater than the riches of this world. His love is like a priceless treasure that you can’t afford to lose. Doing His will may sometimes mean going through challenges, but…

Day 449 – Luke 14:13-14
But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous. Luke 14: 13-14, NIV Sometimes, we give so that we can receive something in return. But Jesus challenged us to give and serve those who cannot repay us. We need to always check our hearts. We should stop expecting something in return from the people that we serve. Let’s learn to give ourselves away out of the abundance of our hearts and not out of the longing we have inside. We are surrounded by people…

Day 448 – Luke 14:11
For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Luke 14:11,NIV Sometimes we badly want to put ourselves first because of our pride, but remember that God wanted us to stay humble. He sees our hearts. He knows our motives. So surrender your ego in the presence of God and allow Him to transform your heart. Don’t exalt yourself as if you are better than anyone else. At the end of the day, God uses a different standard. We may sometimes think that we deserve to experience something great in His presence, but God alone determines those who are worthy to receive…

Day 447 – Luke 13:24
Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Luke 13:24, NIV Someone asked Jesus if only a few people would be saved. And this is His response. You need to enter through a narrow door in order to be saved. People can’t easily get inside. It takes faith and perseverance. You can’t also enter through this door if you are carrying a lot of baggage. You need to walk without anything in your hands. It’s the kind of path where you really need to trust in God and not in your own strength. There…
