When you Pour out what you Feel to the Right Person
We all have baggage that we need to surrender. We are not meant to carry them alone. Sometimes, God will ask us to lay down those things in His presence, and there are also moments when He will send the right people to minister and comfort us. When that happens, we will feel so blessed and loved because their presence will remind us of the goodness and faithfulness of God. So when you go through challenges in life, it’s very important that you are surrounded by people who know how to help you. Remember that “no man is an island.” God purposely allowed you to be part of a community…

Just Teach me how to Wipe my own Tears
I know that life is difficult, and just like me, you are also struggling with things you can’t see. I understand that you are going through problems. That’s why, I’m not asking you to carry me on your back because I know that it’s not an easy thing to do. You don’t have to be superhuman and do the impossible things.

To the One who chose to walk with me in my Darkest Days
The word “thank you” is not enough for me to express how grateful I am for the things you did in my life. In moments when I couldn’t understand, you chose to stay and walked with me along the journey. When I blamed myself, you were always there to remind me of God’s great mercy. I never thought that I could make it through. It was a heart-breaking season, and I even told God that I wanted to give up. But despite what I felt, you persistently held my hands and chose to stay with me during those days. Thank you for your life. Thank you for allowing God to…

Choose your Inner Circle
You can’t treat everyone as your true friend. You need to choose your inner circle. They will help you grow in the Lord, and you also spend most of your time with them.

Knowing The Heart Of A Person Is More Than A Treasure
Not all people have the courage to share their hearts. Some of us are just too scared to expose the things that are going on inside. So if someone is trying to reveal her heart to you, treat her like a priceless treasure. It takes courage to be transparent and vulnerable. It is something that only brave people can do. So take time to appreciate those kinds of people. They may not realize their value, but the truth is, they are so precious. A genuine heart is more valuable than the treasures that you will gain here on earth. They may share their deepest pain, but what they are doing…

A Friend Who Prays With You Is Better Than Someone Who Gives You advice
There’s nothing wrong with giving pieces of advice. If you think that you experience something that can help your friends, then you can absolutely share those lessons with them. But sometimes, no one can really understand what our friends genuinely feel inside and what they need is not someone who will give them some tips and advice but a friend who will lead them to prayer. The kind of friend who will remind them that God still exists and that nothing is impossible for Him. Acknowledging God in your friendship is a very important thing. Prayers are so powerful that it does not only change your heart, but God’s presence…
