Change won’t happen if you keep on Dwelling in the past
You can only see changes in the present or in the future. It’s not evident in the past. So if you are still hoping for your life to be better while you keep on dwelling on what happened, then expect things to be the same. You need to move forward and focus on what you can change in the present. What you experienced may be painful to the point that you no longer have the courage to take another step, but remember that you can never bring back your past. You need to learn how to let go. It may not be that easy, but it’s the only way for…

You won’t Always see things in the Right Way
There are times when your perspective doesn’t align with the principles of God. The things that you experience will lead you to create opinions that will direct your decisions in life. So instead of listening to your own voice, learn the habit of questioning your opinions. Try to ask questions to yourself that will lead you to discover the truth. Humbly admit that you don’t know everything. There are still things that you need to learn. So don’t immediately conclude about your situation. Just because you are in pain doesn’t mean you already have the right to believe in your own understanding. Yes, you need to acknowledge your emotions, but…

The Lord can take away the Things or People that He freely Gave
God is sovereign. He created this world. He is powerful, and He can do all things. We must not forget who He truly is because if we don’t have any clue about what He did, we will have the tendency to own what He gave. You are living in a world where everything is borrowed, and that includes your life and the lives of the people you love. Please keep in mind that God determines what He will give to us, and He also decides when He will take them. Let’s not treat ourselves as if we deserve every blessing that He gave. Yes, we are His children, but we…

The Imperfections of this World will help you Realize that you Badly need God’s Love
The struggles and the pain are like an eye-opener. They will give you a chance to see the real status of your heart. And it will help you realize the things that you truly need in life. So instead of asking God about the reason why you need to face the obstacles in front of you, just learn to look at your heart and figure out the things that are going on inside. Let the negative situations around you purify your soul and lead you to hunger more for God’s love and grace. The challenges will help you stay grounded.

Don’t treat your Emotions as your god
Your emotions exist not to control you but to give you a chance to discover the hidden things behind them. It’s not your god that you should always follow. Just because you feel bad doesn’t mean your life is over. You just have to figure out the reasons behind your emotions, and there you will discover the thoughts that you need to change. You can take charge of what you feel. God gave you the freedom to do it. Don’t be a victim of your own past and fears. You can rise up and manage them. Acknowledge God in your life, and don’t dwell on things that will just bring…

Growth Happens when you Reflect on the Consequences of your Decisions
There are events in your life that happened because of the decisions that you made. And unless you accept those situations as part of the outcome of your choices, then you won’t grow as a person. You need to acknowledge the results of your actions so that you will know the things that you can change in the future. The lessons may be hard to embrace, but if you keep on denying the things that you did wrong, then you won’t really see any transformation in your life. Be brave enough to admit the consequences of your decisions because that’s one of the best ways for you to be aware…

God allows Unexpected Circumstances to give you a chance to do the right thing
The unexpected moments in your life are sometimes God’s blessings. You may not feel it because they are not wrapped according to your expectations, but when you listen to God and ask for His wisdom, He will then open your eyes to the things that you fail to appreciate. So when you face circumstances you think you can’t overcome, come to God and ask for help. Maybe He is just giving you a chance to apply the lessons that you learned. It’s actually your opportunity to do the right thing. You can always look at the situation in your life in a different lens. You can treat them as either…

It takes Humility to Acknowledge that you can’t do it on your own
When we live this life just by following our own understanding and will, there’s a tendency that we will fail to overcome the uncontrollable circumstances that come our way. The knowledge that we gain from our experiences is not enough to conquer the battles that we will face in life. We don’t have the kind of wisdom that will save us from different problems. We badly need God. We need His plans and power. We need His love. And it takes humility to admit this truth. Sometimes, we choose to focus on what we know rather than consult Him about the best thing to do. We follow our understanding, not…

Seeking help is a Sign of Strength
Asking for help is a sign that you acknowledge your weaknesses and have the will and the heart to receive strength. You are not destined to do everything alone. You must acknowledge that you will need an extra hand in doing some things. You cannot heal yourself just by accepting what happened. You will drown if you do it alone. You need help, and God’s hands are always available. Some people could also offer you some support, so do not withdraw yourself from them. There are hearts out there that God used to be an instrument for you. Do not judge a person yet, but give them the benefit of…
