He Chose To Pray And Kept His Faith Despite What He Experienced

Acts 17: 26-27, NIV
From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. John 17: 26-27, NIV God wants His people to reach for Him and find Him. He may not be far from us, but sin pushed us away from Him. Sometimes, we think that God doesn’t want us because we can’t feel His presence, but little do we know that His heart seeks…

God may send you the Right People, but it Doesn’t mean you won’t Experience Pain with them

If you wanted to align to God because you no longer wanted to encounter heartaches, then it’s time to accept the truth that as long as you are living here on earth, you will go through pain. And it’s not that people wanted to hurt you. It’s just they are imperfect humans who are also going through so much in life. They are also walking along the healing process, and you need to be patient with them. The right people still have the potential to disappoint and sometimes hurt you. But the good thing is, they will never lead…

God allows Unexpected Circumstances to give you a chance to do the right thing

Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.

There is so much more in your life that God wants you to experience
God prepared so much for you. So continue beyond where you are right now. Do not get too disappointed just because your plans did not happen or because you are defeated after fighting so hard.
