You will not Plant the Seed and Eat the Fruit on the Same Day
We all have the tendency to desire for things to happen in an instant. Sometimes, we forget to appreciate the waiting season and the process because we are too focused on the specific blessings we wanted. We forget that we can’t plant the seed and eat the fruit on the same day. It takes time to grow and nourish so that it will bear healthy fruits. So learn to wait and be patient. Mother nature already speaks to us about the necessary process that we need to go through before we experience the harvest season. Please don’t rush. Allow God to take good care of the seeds that you planted.…

Overthinking about your Future will Ruin your Present
Everything is going to be okay. That’s why stop overthinking about what will happen next. Remember that God promised in His words that He will never leave you nor forsake you. When you keep on worrying about your future, you will miss the great blessings that He gave to you in the present. You will fail to treasure every opportunity that comes your way because instead of being grateful for what you have, you keep on thinking about what you wanted to happen next. Look at the blessings in front of you and know that God will continue to provide for your needs. You don’t have to worry because God…

Most of the time, your Feelings Don’t Necessarily Reflect God’s Truth
Yes, your feelings are valid, but never solely rely on what you feel inside. Sometimes, it’s deceiving. Consult God first so that you will know the truth behind your situation. There are so many things that you need to learn first. That’s why you need to change your perspective in life so that you will know how to handle your emotions. You may feel happy or sad, but that doesn’t mean you are living in the truth that God wants you to realize. Sometimes, how you see things matter on what you feel inside. Check your heart first and ask God to teach you how to properly handle your emotions.…

Your Actions Are Louder than the Words that you Preach
If you wanted to share Jesus with other people, then always remember that they see your actions first before they hear the words that you preach. Do not just release the words that you think they should know. Let the people around you see who God is through your character and how you deal with them. Let them feel that you care for them so that they will lend some ears and listen. Show to them who Jesus is by your actions and the words that you speak. If you think that there are things that you need to develop in your character or behavior, then come to God first…

Do not Rely on your Own Desires because Sometimes, it’s Selfish
There are certain desires in our lives that we follow, but then, it ends in destruction. So check your heart first. What are the things that you wanted to achieve? What urges you to reach your dreams? What’s the reason behind all your actions? You need to ask yourself first before you make decisions because you might regret things in the end. Consult God and ask Him what to do. Never rely on your own desires. Remember that humans are not perfect. We sometimes think of our own interests. Try to look at the possible consequences of your decisions. Think before you act. Remember that you can never turn back…

You Will Value Other People When You Fully Grasp Your Worth In God’s Eyes
You can’t give what you don’t have. It will be very challenging for you to appreciate other people if you don’t know your identity in the Lord. How you see yourself will reflect in the way you treat others. If you find it hard to see the worth of other people, then try to check your heart because there’s a possibility that you also fail to recognize who you truly are in the eyes of your loving Father. So if you wanted to be a better person, then get to know yourself first according to how God sees you, and only then will you learn to extend His love to…

Do your Best and let God Take Good Care of the Rest
Just do what you can do and let God bless the works of your hands. Sometimes, when we think that what we are doing is not enough, we will feel pressured and stressed because we tend to conclude that there’s no hope left. But the moment you choose to depend on God and not on your own knowledge and abilities, then you will receive His peace. Remember that He is powerful enough to do the impossible things. Just do your part. Be faithful with the resources that God provided for you, and He will give you the favor and opportunity that you need. He is not blind. He will take…

You Don’t have to Go Through Pain just for you to Learn
People say that experience is the best teacher, but you don’t have to go through all the pain so that you can learn. You can always listen to others and learn from their experiences. What you need is just a heart that is humble enough to listen and follow. Sometimes, God already provided us with people who will guide us in the right direction. But then, sad to say, we fail to honor their advice because we think we know what’s best for us. We choose to rely on our own understanding and forget to listen to those people who already went through the season that we are in. And…

Stop Forcing Someone that God Meant for you to Let Go
There are some parts of letting go that are hard to accept. Sometimes, it’s heartbreaking and painful, and you can’t help but force the person to stay with you. But then, what if it’s God’s will for you to let the person go? What if He wanted you to experience greater things in life? Will you still do it? It’s really difficult to comprehend the plans of God. But He knows what’s ahead, and He sees things that you can’t appreciate. That’s why the best thing to do is just to trust Him. You may not understand everything for now, but one day, God will slowly reveal to you the…

You don’t have to Prove Yourself to Anyone
People who love you will never ask you to prove yourself. They know who you are, and you don’t have to do anything just for you to receive their love and care. Remember that you are a child of God. You don’t even have to prove yourself to your loving Father because He knows every detail of your life. He sees your heart and the things that are going on in your mind. That’s why stop pleasing those people who never really cared for you. Focus on those who love you from the inside out because they are the ones who will support you no matter what happens. They will…
