Treat your Family as your First Ministry
The people that you love may not be perfect, but God will never put them in your life without a purpose. Remember that He already determines who you will meet along the journey. There may be days when you can’t help but question His choices and will, but trust that God knows what He is doing. He gave you special and unique people that you can serve and love for the rest of your life. So when you can’t find the reasons why you need to stay with them, may this be your constant reminder. God wants you to love every family remember, regardless of the pain and brokenness that…

Don’t expect for a Relationship to last if you didn’t even invest enough time for it
Every relationship is a two-way process. It won’t work if only one will make time for it. It’s true in different kinds of relationships – family, friends, partners, and above all, with God. You need to invest enough time so that it will grow stronger. Remember that we all experience changes in life, we learn new things, and we go through different challenges. The situation that we face will transform our perspective and our character. So if we won’t do something with our relationships, then we will surely grow apart from the people we love. Remember that real treasures can’t be found in the material things you can acquire. They…

Serving others Require Sacrifices
Jesus called us to serve His people, and it’s not an easy thing to do. Sometimes, you need to fight against your selfish desires so that you can help others. It takes sacrifice and a lot of patience. There will be moments when you will feel tired and exhausted. Serving and loving imperfect people requires a selfless heart, but you can always do it through the help of the Holy Spirit. If you learn to consult Him first before you do anything, you will surely be guided, for He will give you the courage you need. Let Him remind you of God’s instructions and promises. So that when you feel…

Pray that God will give you these Kinds of Friends
A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that He had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and He preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to Him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get Him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Mark 2: 1-5, NIV…

You Can’t Change People, but you can Change the Way you see Them
No matter what you do, you can never change the difficult people around you. Transformation is a personal choice that they need to make. So stop blaming them for what happened in your life. It’s not about what people did to you, but it’s about how you see things. Yes, you can’t force someone to change their behavior, but you can absolutely change the way you see them. Ask God, and He will reveal to you how to love them. You need to open the eyes of your heart so that you will learn to value those people the way God did. It won’t be easy at first because you…

Be with Someone who will Respect you as a Child of God
A person who treats you like a child of God always knows how to respect and love you. They know how you should be treated because they already have a relationship with the Creator of this world. So never allow yourself to be with someone who doesn’t even know your loving Father. Remember that you are a child of a King, and you simply deserve to be treated with respect. Know your identity in the Lord. You are not an orphan. Your Father loves you so much that He gave His only begotten son to save you, and the right person knows that truth. You don’t have to prove yourself…

Treasure Those People Who Gave You The Chance To Make Things Right
We are not perfect, and we all commit mistakes. But sometimes, God will send people who will lead us to do the right thing. If you already meet someone who gave you another chance to start again, then please treasure them with all your heart. They are rare jewels. Those people are gifts from God. So do not waste the chance that they gave to you. Remember that it takes great courage to trust again. You may find it challenging to do the right thing, but let their goodness motivate you to become a better person. You can do it. God is with you, and He will be there to…

Genuine Friendships Are Intentional
If you wanted to keep your friends with you, then you need to be intentional. Genuine friendship doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time and effort. Yes, it’s a gift from God, but you also need to take good care of it. And just like any other relationship, it also takes commitment. If you desire to have good friends with you, then ask God to teach you how to become a true friend first. And only then will you realize that the road will never be easy, but everything will be worth it. There will be ups and downs along the way, but God will be there to help you. He…

When You Have Friends But You Have No One Else To Talk To
Have you ever experience that moment in your life when you are surrounded by a lot of people, but you feel so broken and lonely on the inside? Yes, you have friends, but you can’t seem to find someone who is willing to listen to you without judgment. If you feel this way right now, then know that you are not alone. We all have that season in life when we feel devastated inside, and we no longer have the courage to share it to the people who care for us. Most of the time, we are just scared. We don’t want to become vulnerable because we can’t simply trust…
