And even before you want to defend yourself in the presence of God, He is already fighting with you. Even before the very first drop of tears came out in your weary eyes, your loving Father is already doing some miracles behind the scene. He is sending His angels to comfort and…

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…
