Remember that we all have Different Love Languages
There are moments when you feel like the people around you don’t love you, not because they didn’t express it to you, but it’s because they speak a different love language. They just don’t show their love the way you want them to. So if you wanted to improve your relationships, you need to know the person’s love language so that you will be able to communicate your love to them in a way that they will understand you. It takes an intentional decision to do it. Sometimes, it takes hard work and patience. But if you will let God lead you, then He will teach you how to love…

Someday, you will have the Courage to Dance in the Rain
Just let your tears flow. Surrender everything to God, and acknowledge the truth that you are in pain. You may feel like the rain won’t stop falling in your life, but someday, you will learn to value the things you experienced. You will have the courage to dance even in the middle of the rain. It’s not going to happen in an instant. It takes a long process, and you will still discover so many things along the way. But know that God will teach you how to value the season you are in as long as you open your heart for His love. He will guide you. So stop…

Value your Peace and Freedom more than your Earthly Wealth
If you think that you no longer experience peace and freedom along the process of pursuing earthly wealth, then it’s time for you to pause for a while and reflect on what matters most in your life. Because at the end of the day, what you acquire in this world is nothing if you can’t even do the things that you love. You can’t find peace because you are too scared to lose the things you’ve been working hard for. You feel so trapped with your own goals and plans. And the most heartbreaking part is that you already achieved what you want, but your heart is still looking for…

Making other People Suffer from Pain will Never Set you Free
If someone broke your heart and they tried to ask for your forgiveness, then may you learn to give them the grace that they need. Yes, it’s not easy. Maybe you think that it’s impossible to do it because you still feel the pain inside. But making other people suffer from the mistakes that they did can never set you free. You may want to make them feel the same pain you experienced, but life doesn’t work that way. You will never be healed by taking revenge. Only forgiveness can give you the freedom that you need. So do it not just for the sake of those people who broke…

Do not Judge the Person According to the Mistakes they Committed
Do not do to others what you don’t want to experience. Nobody wants to be judged according to their mistakes. If it happens to your life, you probably wanted to make other people realize what you are going through and make them stop judging you. So do not put conclusions according to the wrong things that others did. You need to discover their stories first. You never know who they truly are not unless you find time to listen to them. Remember that our mistakes can never dictate our destiny. Choose to love and accept others like what God did to your life. It’s one way of encouraging them to…

Short-lived Pleasures can Never make you Whole
Only the everlasting love of God can complete you. The entertainment of this world, the riches that you acquire, and all your wealth, those things can never fill in the empty spaces in your heart. Yes, you will feel happy and entertained for a while, but it will never last. You need something that will take you to eternity. You need God in your life. The short-lived pleasures in your life can’t heal the wounds in your heart. His power alone can make you feel so fulfilled within. So come to Him and focus on building your faith. When you choose to put Him at the center, your life will…

Sometimes, you will never know other People’s Value until they Start to Leave
Learn to be present and try to appreciate the people around you. Remember that our time here on earth is limited, so make the most of what you have right now, and use them to bless and serve the people around you. Don’t wait for them to leave before you learn to treasure their existence in your life. Be grateful for their lives, they may not be perfect, but God allowed you to meet them for a greater purpose. And sometimes, you will realize that purpose when you learn to recognize their value in your life. You will never be who you are right now if not because of those…

To the Person who’s making Progress that no one Recognizes
Keep going, and do not stop. People may not appreciate your little victories, but know that God sees everything that you are doing, and He admires you for your effort and for staying in His presence. Take courage! Because the one who knows you from the inside out recognizes your heart. And He will reward you in His perfect timing. Do not rely on what the people around you are doing. Sometimes, we long for their affirmation, and we feel disappointed every time we don’t receive the words that we wanted to hear from the people we love. But what’s important is that God appreciates all the things that you…

Stop Holding on to Something Familiar
This life is full of uncertainties. That’s why people tend to hold on to something familiar to avoid pain and heartaches. But then the truth is, instead of avoiding pain, we unconsciously draw closer to it because that’s what seems to be familiar to us. We think that we already know the road that we are taking, and we remain at the place where we can predict what will happen. This is the danger of holding on to something familiar. God wants us to experience breakthroughs, but because we are afraid of change. We would rather remain where we are just to avoid the uncertainties in life. But sadly, change…

To those who Always Receive Painful words from the People they Love
I may not know the status of your heart right now. You may feel in pain because of the things that you experienced. But always remember that only God knows your true identity. The people around you don’t have any idea about the things that you are going through. They may release painful words that truly break your heart, but remember that nobody can destroy you as long as you choose to listen to God. You are His child, and He knows you from the inside out. So focus on Him and just surrender what you feel in His presence. He will heal your heart and give you the courage…
