You are Valued and Deemed Worthy beyond your Outer Form
Our physical state determines people’s first impression. We don’t walk on this planet with placards in our heads. Our outer form is the tangible part of us. When we say part, it only contributes to the entirety and not the whole itself. But the totality of you is greater than the sum of its parts. You are more significant than all of the things or qualities. Your value is more important than what you have and what you can achieve. You are beyond your outer form. You are beyond what you see in yourself and what other people see in you. On a cosmic scale, people’s impression of you touches…

The Difficult Roads make the Journey more Meaningful
If you want a fulfilled life, then don’t wish for things to be easy. Instead, allow yourself to experience the hard roads because that’s where you will discover more of life. Growth happens when you go through challenges. When you meet circumstances that are out of your control, that’s when you will learn how to manage your emotions. They may appear difficult at first, but the moment you overcome them, you’ll slowly realize your potential. When you arrive at your destination, you won’t just thank God because you finally received what you prayed for, but you will feel overwhelmed because He used your journey to transform you into a better…

For you to grow personally, do not go back to what God saved you from
Meditate and convince yourself not to plant what has been uprooted already. God save you from things that aren’t good for you, something that would lead you to situations that might hurt you more. He already planned things well for you. He wants you to realize the lessons that you can cultivate inside your heart. He wants you to recognize that you deserve good in things. He loves you more than you can fathom. It is hard to let go of things that have already made us happy and comfortable. It is difficult for us to cut some things, events, and even people in our lives that drove us to…

Don’t allow the Spirit of Entitlement to Consume you
Just because you exert an effort doesn’t mean you are already entitled to God’s blessings. Remember that it’s not about your skills or talents, but you live and enjoy this life because of His mercy and forgiveness. So don’t think highly of yourself. Yes, it’s good to be confident in the presence of God, but don’t allow that confidence to keep you away from the true source. The good things that you experienced are because of God’s grace. And it’s not something that you should own for yourself. God provided you with more than enough so that you’ll learn to share what you have with others. Remember that you won’t…

God allows the Pruning Season because He wants you to Grow and Prosper
There were times in our lives wherein we set things our way. We create plans and make the most of our time. But, there were also times we lay low and took some rest before another battle started. Needless to say, our lives in this world revolve around things of ups and downs. We can be sad now and be happy later. We can be crying right now and then laugh later. We can be weakened right now and be more substantial later. But lives can be more than just two sides of a coin. There is everything in between. It is as if everything is set more like a…

You can be yourself in the eyes of GOD –vulnerable and broken
Laughter and sadness come in a package in our lives. Our everyday living comprises both sides of the story, happiness and despair. In times of joy, we rejoice and laugh. In times of sadness, we weep and cry, but this umbrella is our very core of being a human. Being vulnerable is something not all of us are willing to show to others. We protect our weak side from being exposed to people and situations that we deem harmful and may disturb our peace. But please do remember, there’s one thing that you have to see. One thing is that you should open your eyes and know that you can…

God can Turn Your Fear Into an Instrument for Your Breakthrough
There were times in your life wherein you fought so hard for something or someone. The battle between you and what surrounds you became an everyday struggle to contest what you believe to what really is happening. There were events in your life where you were ready to sit down and bait for all you’ve got, just thinking about the present and sacrificing all your strength. But when matters turn out to be what we were not so confident to be, we lose our motivation to go on and move on. Sometimes, it is easy to say that life is full of ups and downs, but when matters are where…

Allow God to let you Grow in Places He’ll Put You
Don’t stuff yourself in a place that is too small for you. Don’t force yourself to fit into a position too tight. It would delay your growth. Sometimes, God allows us to choose to let go of things that aren’t for us anymore. It may be because He knows that you’ve grown there already, and you are to be plotted once again in places that will help you develop more. So let God uproot you and allow yourself also to let go. When we are so used to one thing, we sometimes see ourselves settling in as we find comfort there. But if we want to grow, the journey itself…

Difficult seasons are Necessary for your Growth
There will be moments when we can’t understand the ways of God. We go through seasons that are so difficult and challenging. We experience pain and heartaches that changes our perspective. Nobody is exempted. There will be problems and struggles so that we will learn to do the right thing. So if you are going through struggles right now, then keep in mind that God will never allow it to happen unless He has a purpose. Behind your tears and hardships are opportunities for you to become a better person. He is giving you the chance to purify your heart. It will hurt, and the process won’t be easy. Sometimes,…

Declare it often, even when you don’t know what’s happening
We can undeniably tell how unpredictable things are. We visualize our visions, plan great things, and even sort our own future. The itineraries of how our tomorrow would turn out to how we carve by our own self-written destiny. We work hard, make a sacrifice, cry and break until we build ourselves again. Of course, these things are easier said than done. But their in-betweens are our image of how we fail and are shattered from something that brought us more profound than our tears. Humans as we are, we tremble in our own knees when things don’t happen the way we planned them to be. But please do remember…
