Don’t spend too much of your Time on Things that can’t save your soul
There are things in life that we think are important, but at the end of the day, it leads to destruction. Human as we are, we tend to focus on temporary treasures rather than nourish our souls. That’s why we sometimes end up devastated and lost because we spend most of our time entertaining ourselves rather than pleasing God. Never forget that we only have limited time here on earth. And everything you worked hard for will come to waste if you just do things to satisfy your selfish desires. Your spirit and soul also need nourishment. So focus on things that will take you to eternity. Grow in the…

You can Express your Anger without Hurting other People
Anger is part of your emotions, and you need to acknowledge it. A suppressed feeling will eventually reflect your behavior, so it’s better to express it in ways that will not hurt others. If you can’t help yourself but feel angry because if somebody’s behavior, then you are free to express it in ways that are aligned to God. Go to a place where you can be alone and talk to Him. Release what you feel, and He will listen to you. Submit your emotions to your Creator, and He will help you manage them. God can powerfully transform your heart as long as you are humble enough to ask…

Your Thoughts Don’t always Speak about the Truth
You are not your thoughts. Not everything that enters your mind reflects your true identity. So learn the habit of evaluating your judgments before you make any conclusions. Listen first and ask God if what you are thinking is aligned with His principles. Do not rely on your own understanding. It’s better to consult Him first than do things that you will regret in the end. Learn to confirm your ideas according to what’s written in the bible. Fill your mind with God’s words so that you’ll always be aligned and guided. Beware! Your thoughts will eventually shape your decisions and your life. So be more conscious and careful. Keep…

You can’t Receive the Best if you Keep Holding on to what’s Better
Sometimes, God will ask you to let go of something that is not necessarily bad for you. It’s just He wants you to receive the best thing that He prepared. And you will fail to experience more of Him if you keep on holding on to the good things you had. Maybe it’s hard for you to surrender because you think that those moments are too good to be true, but God prepared blessings that are beyond what you can comprehend. Choose to ask for strength so that you will learn to focus on what’s ahead. You can only appreciate what you have right now if you learn to…

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…

The Process of Letting Go
It’s hard to let go. Sometimes, it doesn’t happen in an instant. It takes a process and a lot of patience. There will be moments when you still want to hold on and stop going through the painful journey, but you need to learn how to understand and love yourself. Know that you are not alone. If God asks you to surrender certain things or people in your life, then it means He will walk with you, and He will be there to help you. He won’t convince you to do it not unless He has something better in mind. Just trust Him. Accept the truth that letting go is…

Embracing the journey will help you Appreciate your Victories
The destination would mean nothing if you weren’t able to enjoy the journey that God allowed you to take. There’s something in the process that makes your feel fulfilled on the inside. You may find yourself focusing on what you wanted to accomplish, but if you fail to see God in your daily routine and habits, then you will miss the point. This life is not just about arriving at the future that He prepared, but it’s all about embracing and enjoying His presence along the process. Every day, you will discover a different side of God, and you will fail to treasure it if you keep on thinking about…

Humble yourself, and you will be Honored
The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Matthew 23: 11-12, NIV This world treats those who have the authority to command and dictate others as powerful and influential. People tend to consider those who are in the higher rank or those who are rich enough as honorable and worthy of our respect. But in the eyes of God, He gives honor to those people who know how to humble themselves and serve others. He looks at the heart and not the physical appearance. He evaluates everybody’s motives. So if you want to be…

Do what’s Right and not what’s Popular
We live in a world where there are so many temptations and misleading information. That’s why we need to be careful of the things that we are following and watching, especially in the online world. Unfortunately, there’s this mindset that a person needs to conform to the standards of this world so that he will be accepted and loved by others. And sometimes, even if it disrespects the will of God, still people choose to follow those meaningless standards. Remember that the voice of the people is not necessarily the voice of God. You need to go back to the Bible and remind yourself of the things that are aligned…
