John 8:24, NIV
I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.” John 8:24, NIV Jesus is the Messiah. He is the one who can rescue us from eternal condemnation. We need to remember that we are all sinners, and we can never save ourselves. God is holy, and He is just. Every sin requires punishment, and Jesus took that cup so that we would be saved. Those who believe in Him will receive His undeserving grace. He will call them His people, and He will reign in their lives. So don’t rely on your own…

Accepting the Pain Doesn’t Always mean Feeling Better about it
Sometimes, pain’s message and purpose are louder than the pain itself. When you get a bruise or physical wound, automatically, you will respond by remedying it. However, when your heart and soul get wounded, its cause is not always clear. You need to go to your deeper state and have to be willing to be involved in the process of diving in. But know that, you will not dive on it alone. Do not worry, for no matter how deep it might be, God can always pull you up to the surface. He just wants you to see the reasons for yourself. He wants you to know how the pain…

John 8: 12, NIV
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12, NIV If you feel like you are walking in the darkness right now, then call upon Jesus. He is the light of this world. People tend to focus on other things and somehow treat temporary treasures as their source of hope. But always keep this in mind; Jesus is the light that we are looking for. He alone can lead us to better days. So instead of relying on your own understanding and on the wealth of…

Sometimes, what Hurts you Affects what you do
A simple act that happens even in a concise amount of time can affect how you think and behave about things or people. It will last for a while or even a lifetime if left unhealed. It does not mean that the past will stay in the past. Because what happened in the past will always find its way to appear in the future. Such things caused you so much pain and trouble. The event may have occurred already, but how you now respond to things has changed. You may deny it and say it’s done already, but be careful because it may leave you with an unhealed wound. Some…

Surrender all your Regrets to God
You will fail to see the present blessings if you keep on carrying all the regrets of the past. You won’t be able to treasure the precious moments God gave you because you chose to live with pain. Please be kind to yourself. You are still learning. Forgive and let go. The best way for you to do it is to surrender to God all the regrets that you are still hiding. Expose them in His presence, and He will help you turn that guilt into a lesson that you can never forget. You need to slowly accept that you can’t turn back time and change your decisions. It’s already…

Luke 19 :1-4, NIV
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he [Zacchaeus] ran ahead and climbed a sycamore- fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. Luke 19: 1-4, NIV Zacchaeus was viewed as a terrible sinner during his time. His work as a chief tax collector is almost equivalent to a corrupt politician in our days. People despised his ways, and he was treated as an outcast because of that. Despite his wealth…

Failure is a step that will lead you to win.
Without failures, you will not know how winning would work. The absence of failing will not complete the meaning of winning. Failures are typical; they happen many times and in different forms in your life. Some happen through events and people, while some linger within the heart and mind. It takes work to accept them. It may seem so easy to think that it happens to everyone, but it will feel so uncomfortable and heavy when it happens in our lives. Sometimes, it will lead you to isolate yourself and make you doubt yourself even more. You may start to regret and think of what more you could have done…

Failures will Teach you what Genuine Humility Is
The mistakes that you committed in the past can potentially open your eyes to the real status of your heart. How you react to them and the way you handle them will give you some ideas about how you see yourself. Sometimes, when we experience victories in life, we tend to put confidence in ourselves, thinking that we absolutely deserve the credit. And because of that mindset, we make decisions out of our own will and understanding. We fail to consider the desires of God and just do things that will satisfy our hearts. And the moment we experience the consequences of our choices, that’s when we realize that we…
