Remind yourself that God gave all of us the Freedom to Choose
God is not controlling. In fact, He gave all of us the freedom to choose. He may allow certain situations to happen in your life, but you can always manage your thoughts and reactions. You are not a robot. You are not programmed to do limited things. God already presented you with the resources that you need. And it’s your choice if you will use them or not. God has the power to transform your life, but He can’t do it if you won’t allow Him. He will never force you to do something you don’t want. His plans for you may be great, but you won’t experience them if…

Acts 22:14, NIV
“Then he said: ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know His will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth. Acts 22:14, NIV God chose Paul to know His will. Jesus selected Him among many people. And this is not because of the things that Paul did to God. In fact, he is one of those who persecuted Him, but despite His cruel acts, Jesus appointed Him to spread the gospel. You never really know whom God will use for the expansion of His Kingdom. He can choose anyone regardless of their past and sins. He is powerful enough to influence someone…

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…

Acts 22:10, NIV
“‘What shall I do, Lord? I asked. ‘Get up,’ the Lord said, ‘and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.’ Acts 22: 10, NIV When Paul supernaturally encountered Jesus, he realized who he truly was. And that’s when he learned to submit to our Savior. He humbly asked Him about the things that He needed to do, and that’s when He was instructed to go to Damascus. There, he will know the purpose that Jesus had already orchestrated for him. You see, Paul used to persecute the followers of Jesus, but that doesn’t stop our Savior from using him for the…

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…

Acts 22:7, NIV
I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ Acts 22:7, NIV This is what Jesus said to Saul (also known as Paul) when he supernaturally encountered Him in a place near Damascus. Before he was saved, Saul used to persecute the Christians in his days. He is one of those who arrested the men and women who were Jesus’ followers. This is the reason why Jesus asked Him this question, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ It was an overwhelming encounter for Paul because that’s when he realized who Jesus was. And the amazing part is even though…

You can’t Change the Fact that you are Loved by God

This truth may appear impossible to you, but whether you believe it or not, God’s love will be there for you. As long as you are still breathing, God is still doing something great behind the scenes. You may think that nobody cares for you because the people around you tend to leave when things get tough, but not God. You may not always feel His presence, but He is always there.

Acts 21: 35-36, NIV
When Paul reached the steps, the violence of the mob was so great he had to be carried by the soldiers. The crowd that followed kept shouting, “Get rid of him!” Acts 21: 35-36, NIV This is what happened to Paul when He reached Jerusalem. The people persecuted Him and treated Him as if He was a sinner who did things against God’s will. He received harsh words. The crowd followed and kept shouting at him. Soldiers are carrying Him, and He has already experienced violence. Paul’s suffering is not easy. And the amazing thing about this is He knew all about these things. The Holy Spirit already informed Him…

Acts 21:13, NIV
Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” Acts 21:13, NIV People were weeping when they heard that Paul would go back to Jerusalem. But even if they don’t want Paul to go, he is so decided to proceed to His plans. In fact, He is willing to die in the name of our Lord Jesus. He is willing to sacrifice His life just to glorify our Savior. Paul already knew that following Him was not easy, but He took the risk and let go of…
