John 17:7, NIV
Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. John 17:7, NIV Jesus knew that everything that He received came from God. Sometimes, we tend to forget this truth, especially when we receive blessings after exerting effort and doing our best. We feel entitled to what He gave to the point that we can no longer share it with others. We find it hard to treat ourselves as vessels because we forget that what we have all come from God. So if you are surrounded by people who are in need, and you happen to have more than enough blessings, then remember that what you have comes…

The Lord can take away the Things or People that He freely Gave
God is sovereign. He created this world. He is powerful, and He can do all things. We must not forget who He truly is because if we don’t have any clue about what He did, we will have the tendency to own what He gave. You are living in a world where everything is borrowed, and that includes your life and the lives of the people you love. Please keep in mind that God determines what He will give to us, and He also decides when He will take them. Let’s not treat ourselves as if we deserve every blessing that He gave. Yes, we are His children, but we…

And even before you want to defend yourself in the presence of God, He is already fighting with you. Even before the very first drop of tears came out in your weary eyes, your loving Father is already doing some miracles behind the scene. He is sending His angels to comfort and…

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.
