Surrender the Things you Badly Wanted to Control

You may badly desire something to happen in your life, and you can’t help but always think about it, but if you want to receive the best, then choose to surrender.

Day 475 – John 1:43
The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.” John 1:43, nIV Jesus didn’t look for His disciples in places He just accidentally discovered. He knew who they were even before He called them. He knew their backstory, their weaknesses, and the things that were going on in their hearts. Jesus intentionally looked for them, just like what He did to Philip. He knew that He wouldn’t find His next disciple in Galilee. That’s why He purposely left there and found Philip. And just like what He did to Philip, Jesus is also intentional in asking you to follow Him. If you…

There is too much noise whispering to us what we are supposed to be doing. There is also noise that could affect our situation. Such words only make our worries and doubts worse. However, answers are often found in places and moments where noise is absent. You need to put yourself in a place where you can think alone and listen intently to your thoughts. Things in your mind that are sometimes left unanswered will always wire themselves into something that will make things worse. That is…

Take things one at a time
Doubt kills more dreams than fear. That is because, even before we attempt to do something, our thoughts are already a mile away, creating things that never really happened. Of course, our minds will always create doubts, but that doesn’t mean you need to follow them. Sometimes, when you are given an opportunity, you can’t help but overthink until you reach the point of constantly doubting yourself. Doubt is not a bad thing, we all go through with it, but it is a matter of how you will handle it. When you listen to your doubts, it will shake your core. And it does not stop there. It will also…
