Real Strength comes from the Inside

If you want to have the strength that you need in order to face the challenges of this world, then you must work on the inside first. Build your faith and character because they will serve as your foundation. Do not rely on what is happening around you or on other people. Know that you can’t control them. What you can do is focus on your inner strength because when you are strong within, then the things on the outside can never break you into pieces.

Be more intentional in developing yourself and your faith. Grow in God’s presence, and He will rest in your heart. He will move when you need Him. Put Him at the center, and you will have enough strength. You will overcome everything as long as you have Him inside.

Don’t just follow God, but put Him inside your heart. When you follow Him, it means that you are looking at Him from a distance, but when you treat Him as the center of your life, it means that you allow Him to live through you. God doesn’t just speak to your ears, but He is knocking inside your heart. He wants to mend your wounds and make you whole again.

Let His light shine from the inside, and you will never be destroyed by the problems and challenges that you face. Live according to His principles and values. Allow Him to change the way you think. Let His love give you peace and rest. Let your motivation come from the inside so that when you hear the lies of the enemy, you will not be tempted to give up and quit.

Do not rely on other people to strengthen you. They can’t always give you the comfort that you need. Remember that just like you, they are also going through pain and heartaches. That’s why they can’t always give you the attention that you expect, instead of putting your trust in them. Choose to set your eyes on God. Focus on His love and remember His great power. Depend on Him, and you will be able to overcome the obstacles in your life victoriously.

He is perfect. He will never fail you. He can do all things, so stop asking other people to become your source of strength. Treat God as the reason for your everything, and He will perform miracles in your life. He will never run dry. He can always give you enough grace to help you keep moving.

It’s okay to work on your outside appearance but see to it that you put first the things that matter most in the end. What’s on the outside can never save you from greater pain. God can’t only be seen in your surroundings. But He is inside your heart. If you want to seek Him, then you need to dig deep inside your heart. He is found in the deepest part of your soul.

Take some time to connect to Him, and you will be strengthened. At the end of the day, the things that you’ve been working on will either make you feel weak or become stronger. It matters on your priorities. May you choose to put your relationship with God first. And He will restore what’s broken from within. And when the inside is whole and complete, it will then manifest to your surroundings.
