What It Means To Have True Wealth
One person pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth. Proverbs 13:7, NIV How do you define wealth? Is it something that you can buy, touch, or see? Or is it something that you can feel and take with you even through eternity? Sometimes, we think that we are not rich enough because of the material things that we can’t possess or buy. We thought that the only way for us to feel comfortable and happy was for us to have more money. It’s not that money is bad, it’s just sometimes, we already put our trust and security on the temporary…

Those Who Are In The Realm Of The Flesh Cannot Please God
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:6-8, NIV Since we live in this world, we are sometimes governed by standards and desires that will only satisfy our flesh. We seek temporary riches instead of focusing on Heavenly things. When the flesh governs our mind, it means that the worries and desires of this world occupy it. It’s okay to dream of a…

It takes a Humble Heart to Ask for Help
Sometimes, we are so used to doing things on our own that we no longer consider other people’s opinions. Because we don’t want others to think bad about us, we tend to keep everything inside and try to solve our problems alone. We figure things out according to our own understanding, and we quit hoping that there are still genuine hearts who are willing to lend some help and support to us. Because we continuously received so many rejections in the past, we stopped depending on other people’s life. This is the reason why we can’t easily ask for help. We think that we no longer need others. It’s our…

Accepting the Pain Doesn’t Always mean Feeling Better about it
Sometimes, pain’s message and purpose are louder than the pain itself. When you get a bruise or physical wound, automatically, you will respond by remedying it. However, when your heart and soul get wounded, its cause is not always clear. You need to go to your deeper state and have to be willing to be involved in the process of diving in. But know that, you will not dive on it alone. Do not worry, for no matter how deep it might be, God can always pull you up to the surface. He just wants you to see the reasons for yourself. He wants you to know how the pain…

Desire The Giver More Than The Blessing
We tend to forget the giver, especially when we are too caught up with the things that we receive in life. Sometimes, we focus on the blessings more than the love of God. Our prayer contents no longer speak about our desire for God, but it’s more about asking blessings from Him. Please remember that God is not a genie. Please don’t just believe in Him because of the things that He can do in your life, but more importantly, you desire for His love more than the blessings that you could ever receive here on earth. God deserves to be honored and loved. May you remember Him not just…
