You can still find refuge in His arms. Don’t focus on your situation. Instead, treat Him as the reason why you still want to move forward.

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…

John 11: 43-44, NIV
When he had said this, Jesus called is a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grace clothes and let him go.” John 11: 43-44, NIV Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave. He is powerful enough to give life to those who are dead. And He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. This may seem impossible, especially in our days where everything is already explained in science, but the Holy Spirit is doing miracles in the present and the future days to come. God…

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…

John 11:40, NIV
Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” John 11:40, NIV Jesus’ dear friend Lazarus was already dead and buried in the tomb for four days. When He asked the people to open his grave, Martha insisted and tried to stop Him. Upon hearing her, Jesus said that if she believed, she would see the glory of God. Just like Martha, we also have moments in life when we feel like the hope that we are holding on to is slowly fading away. We once prayed for things to be different, but when everything closes, and all you see…

John 11: 35, NIV
Jesus wept. John 11:35, NIV Jesus is also a human. He has emotions, and He also feels sad. When his dear friend Lazarus died, Jesus wept and poured out His sadness through His tears. You see, Jesus can absolutely relate to you. If by chance you lose someone you love, then may this shortest verse in the bible remind you that Jesus understands what’s in your heart. He felt the same thing when He lost His friend Lazarus. But the amazing part is, even though He knew that he would still rise from the dead, Jesus still allowed Himself to feel sad. This is a reminder for us that it’s…
