The Word of God
Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Proverbs 30: 5, NIV If you are in the middle of a very dark season, and you can’t seem to find the light, come to God and take refuge in His word. You are not alone. God is speaking to you. Open your Bible and let His word penetrate your soul. His word is pure, and it has no error. So, if you think that what God is saying is not true in your life, then keep your faith and believe that His promises will come to pass. Whatever happens, the flawless word…

Seek the Word of God and Meditate on it
But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Matthew 13:23, NIV We are so blessed because the word of God is always available for us. Unlike other countries, they are restricted from reading the scriptures. That’s why we should not take this privilege for granted. Just like good soil, let’s put God’s word in our hearts and let it produce crops that will glorify His name. Let the seed sown in your heart bear fruit that will last even through eternity. You will…

Rest is a Necessity
You need rest. Your body, mind, and soul need to be restored. If you don’t stop and take a pause, you will reap painful consequences in the end. This is the reason why rest is a necessity. God created it to be part of our lives. He proved it as very essential even in the very beginning. In the book of Genesis, you will read that God rested from all the work He had done on the seventh day. This is a powerful reminder for us to also do the same thing. Rest is not just about taking a break from work, but it’s deeper than that. For our bodies,…

Moments When I Forget About His Love
Honestly, I’m still learning how to treat Jesus as my everything. Even though I already treated Him as my personal Savior and tried to connect to Him every single day, there were still instances when I chose to follow my selfish desires. There are still moments when I forget about His love. And it’s those days when I’m in pain and struggling. When problems try to consume my mind, that’s when I usually forget about His goodness in my life. That’s why, up until now, I’m still wondering what it truly feels like to genuinely follow Him. When I read the Bible, I learned about those people who chose to…

The People That Jesus Treated As Family Are Those Who Obey God’s Word
He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.” Luke 8: 21, NIV Jesus said these words when His mother, Mary and His brothers came to see him. Someone told him that his earthly family was there waiting for him, but then Jesus said that those He considered as family are the ones who hear God’s word and put it into practice. Many of us would think that Jesus would give special privileges for His earthly family but in His eyes, the people that He treated as family are those who would obey God’s word. Being close to God isn’t just about…

Romans 1: 17, NIV
For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” Romans 1: 17, NIV Faith is what’s visible in the lives of every righteous person. It is not just about their deeds or words, but it’s about their faith in Jesus that leads them to live righteous life. This is the reason why you must not focus on things that this world tried to impose on you. Instead, you need to live according to what Jesus instructed us. What pleases Him are those who choose to believe in His words…

Don’t just dwell on your own Understanding
It takes humility to accept the truth that you don’t know everything. It may seem like you’ve been through a lot of journeys in life, and you probably learned so many things, but that doesn’t give you the assurance that you will easily figure out the solutions to your next problems. You never really know what will happen next. You don’t know how this world works not until you ask the Creator Himself. So please don’t rely on your own understanding. Don’t focus on your own knowledge because God will prove to you that there is still so much more that you need to discover. Open your heart and allow…

John 20: 30-31, NIV
Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:30- 31, NIV John wrote the gospel according to his own version so that He may introduce the Messiah to us. Jesus performed so many signs in the presence of His disciples, and not all of them are recorded in the Bible. But even though we don’t know everything that happened in the past, still what’s written in the scripture is more than…

John 10:4, NIV
When He has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. John 10:4, NIV The sheep follow the shepherd simply because they know His voice. How about you? Are you familiar with the voice of your shepherd? You will hear so many noises in your head, but you will be able to do the right thing the moment you choose to listen to the voice of God. If you want to know how He usually speaks, then open up your bible and be familiar with His words. The Bible will help you discover the voice of your…

To those who are Still Doubting their True Worth
Open your bible, and you will realize who you are in the eyes of God. This world will impose very high standards so that you can prove your worth to others, but if you are only aware of the things that God is saying, then you will receive the strength that you need to overcome the negative things that you hear from others. You need to listen to your Creator, for He alone knows who you truly are. He determines your purpose and your worth. He recognizes the things that you can offer for His kingdom. So don’t be discouraged when others think that you are worthless. They just don’t…
