Acts 15:19, NIV
It is my judgement, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Acts 15: 19, NIV While the apostles discuss what they need to do for the Gentiles, James reminds them that they should not make it difficult for their fellow believers who are turning to God. They need to help them get closer to Him without putting on any burdens that all the Jews themselves are not even willing to carry. Let this verse remind us that God wants us to help each other. We are not here to impose rules and laws for the sake of glorifying ourselves, but we…

When the burden is too heavy, Come to God and Cry it out to Him
Sometimes, the best thing to do is just to cry. People may think that you are weak and so vulnerable, but your tears have the power to purify your soul. Pour them out to God and tell Him everything.

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.

What I Need Is Just Someone Who Will Listen
I don’t really expect you to answer all my problems. I just want you to be there. I’m not looking for someone who will give me everything I need. I just want to be heard. You may think that I’m too reserved, and I don’t really want to share what I truly feel inside. It’s just I can’t find someone who will genuinely listen to me, someone I can consider as a true friend. It feels like every word from my mouth will evolve into a powerful weapon that they will use against me one day. I don’t know if somebody truly cares for me, but I also wanted to…
