They may appear difficult at first, but the moment you overcome them, you’ll slowly realize your potential. When you arrive at your destination, you won’t just thank God because you finally received what you prayed for, but you will feel overwhelmed because He used your journey to transform you into a better…

For you to grow personally, do not go back to what God saved you from
Meditate and convince yourself not to plant what has been uprooted already. God save you from things that aren’t good for you, something that would lead you to situations that might hurt you more. He already planned things well for you. He wants you to realize the lessons that you can cultivate inside your heart. He wants you to recognize that you deserve good in things. He loves you more than you can fathom. It is hard to let go of things that have already made us happy and comfortable. It is difficult for us to cut some things, events, and even people in our lives that drove us to…

Don’t allow the Spirit of Entitlement to Consume you
Just because you exert an effort doesn’t mean you are already entitled to God’s blessings. Remember that it’s not about your skills or talents, but you live and enjoy this life because of His mercy and forgiveness. So don’t think highly of yourself. Yes, it’s good to be confident in the presence of God, but don’t allow that confidence to keep you away from the true source. The good things that you experienced are because of God’s grace. And it’s not something that you should own for yourself. God provided you with more than enough so that you’ll learn to share what you have with others. Remember that you won’t…

God gives you the chance to live and be Named with your Worth and Purpose
Our existence in this world varies in different stages. As humans of complex nature, we also have different needs and wants. We are accompanied by different beliefs and cultures. We are shaped by various environments, raised, and taken care of in different ways. But as we progress, we realize an internal need for purpose. As adults, we live life in a way we are called to. We want to be bound with purpose as a form of force that helps us to go on and live life. In doing things we need to do, we sometimes branch ourselves from a purpose that will help us be on the right track.…

Sometimes, God’s answers take Longer than you Expect
God doesn’t always move according to your plans. He doesn’t depend on your wisdom and understanding. He acknowledges your prayers, but there will be moments when you need to wait for His answers. And it’s not because He wants to punish you or make you feel abandoned. He wants you to trust Him more than you rely on your own timeline. There’s nothing wrong with making your own plans, but learn the habit of consulting God before you decide to do something. Treat Him as your King and ask for His approval. Pray for His guidance and wisdom. You can’t stop His plans. He moves according to His purpose. You…

God allows the Pruning Season because He wants you to Grow and Prosper
There were times in our lives wherein we set things our way. We create plans and make the most of our time. But, there were also times we lay low and took some rest before another battle started. Needless to say, our lives in this world revolve around things of ups and downs. We can be sad now and be happy later. We can be crying right now and then laugh later. We can be weakened right now and be more substantial later. But lives can be more than just two sides of a coin. There is everything in between. It is as if everything is set more like a…

I know that I am not Perfect that’s why I need God’s Guidance
There are days when I feel scared and anxious. When I experience unexpected circumstances, I tend to withdraw from the crowd and keep my emotions inside. Even when it hurts, I try to keep myself together so that I’ll appear strong and responsible. But then deep within, my heart is so broken. I am not perfect. People would look at me as if I’m a clean and very innocent person. But just like anyone else, I do have a lot of struggles in life. And because I tried to hide the real me, I find myself carrying the expectations of others. That’s when I realized that it’s better to appear…
