Seeds Need To Be Buried So That One Day, It Will Bear Fruit
“Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” John 12: 24, NIV Jesus reminded His disciples what it means to give up their lives for the sake of glorifying God. He used the imagery of a kernel being planted on the ground. It needs to die so that it may grow and produce more seeds. The same goes with our lives; there are times when we feel like we are buried on the ground, so dark, and it seems like there’s no hope left. It’s a hard season…

When the Situation requires you to Keep going while your Heart is Breaking
You will make it. You may find it hard to comprehend the things that God allowed you to experience, but take this moment as your chance to grow. Sometimes, life feels so harsh.

The Breaking Season will somehow Strengthen your Heart
There are truths in life that are so easy to understand but hard to accept. How can a painful situation strengthen our hearts when it causes us to shrink and walk in the darkness? How will things fall in the right places when your heart is already shattered in pieces? It doesn’t make sense. Why do people always talk about strength in moments when we feel weak? Is it because they are just insensitive? How come it’s so difficult to accept the truth that good things will still happen? Maybe you also have these questions in your head. It’s not that pain is not real. You ought to acknowledge it.…

Growth Happens when you Reflect on the Consequences of your Decisions
There are events in your life that happened because of the decisions that you made. And unless you accept those situations as part of the outcome of your choices, then you won’t grow as a person. You need to acknowledge the results of your actions so that you will know the things that you can change in the future. The lessons may be hard to embrace, but if you keep on denying the things that you did wrong, then you won’t really see any transformation in your life. Be brave enough to admit the consequences of your decisions because that’s one of the best ways for you to be aware…

You can’t Hide your Wounds Forever
You can silently cry in the darkness, keep the pain inside and try to appear whole and healed, but you can’t always hide your wounds forever. You may have a lot of ways how to temporarily set aside what you truly feel, but life will throw so many circumstances that bring out what you’ve been hiding. Sooner or later, the wounds will manifest in ways you never expect. You will try to express them through anger, bitterness, or fear. When you ignore the pain you feel, it will turn into negative emotions you can’t easily control. So before it bursts in the open, come to God and deal with the…
