May you have the Courage to Choose what Matters most in the End
This world will present to you so many aspects that you need to prioritize, and the challenge is, how will you be able to choose the right priorities? Your decision-making abilities will be tested along the way. You will encounter situations that will make you realize the things that you value in life. And when you are in the middle of the storm, God will slowly open your eyes to the things that you treated as important, but in reality, it will lead you to destruction. That’s why it takes a courageous heart to accept the truth that we sometimes choose the wrong priorities. It takes humility to acknowledge God’s…

It takes a Humble Heart to Ask for Help
Sometimes, we are so used to doing things on our own that we no longer consider other people’s opinions. Because we don’t want others to think bad about us, we tend to keep everything inside and try to solve our problems alone. We figure things out according to our own understanding, and we quit hoping that there are still genuine hearts who are willing to lend some help and support to us. Because we continuously received so many rejections in the past, we stopped depending on other people’s life. This is the reason why we can’t easily ask for help. We think that we no longer need others. It’s our…

Don’t just dwell on your own Understanding
It takes humility to accept the truth that you don’t know everything. It may seem like you’ve been through a lot of journeys in life, and you probably learned so many things, but that doesn’t give you the assurance that you will easily figure out the solutions to your next problems. You never really know what will happen next. You don’t know how this world works not until you ask the Creator Himself. So please don’t rely on your own understanding. Don’t focus on your own knowledge because God will prove to you that there is still so much more that you need to discover. Open your heart and allow…

You are Surrounded by People who have Different Perspectives
Not everyone loves to do what they want. Just because you badly wanted to achieve something doesn’t mean other people also want to do the same thing. Just because you prayed for something big doesn’t mean the person in front of you also has the same exact prayers. If you keep on labeling other people according to your perspective, you will tend to put them inside a box. You will limit their potential and how far they can go. You won’t be able to appreciate the journey that God wants them to take because you are trying to impose your own standards on them. This is the reason why you…

You encounter things that are out of your control, and you go through seasons when you feel so alone. Doubts try to consume your thoughts. Fear wanted to reign. You think that you can’t do it. But before you give up, please keep this in mind. God will never take you this far just to leave you. He didn’t bless you with more than what you could’ve asked for and then make you feel like you are abandoned. God is with you. He…

Serve one Person at a Time
This is not about the quantity, but it’s all about the quality of service that you give to the people around you. Do not focus on the number. Instead, choose to help one person at a time. Just give your all and let God do the rest. Listen to His instructions for He will be there to guide you and give you the wisdom you need. You don’t have to serve everyone. You just need to be faithful to those that God allowed you to serve. Open your heart and choose to share the goodness that God poured out into your life. Don’t focus on what you don’t have. Instead,…
