The Painful Situations In Your Life Will Someday Make You Stronger
Facing the challenges and difficulties in life won’t be easy. It’s like a mental battle and, sometimes, a daily struggle. When the world somehow shows you its negative side, part of you would wish that life would’ve been different. You would probably hope to go to a place where no one knows you. You just simply wanted to disappear. But that is the reality, whether you like it or not, you can’t help but experience difficult situations. It’s part of the whole package. This is the reason why it’s helpful to focus not on the things that are happening around you, but on what’s going on inside. If you start…

Romans 12:5, NIV
So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. Romans 12:5, NIV We are part of the body of Christ. We are one in His eyes. We may have different functions, and God may assign us to a specific task, but each member belongs to all the others. Meaning to say, what you do may affect your fellow believers. So don’t just act according to your own will. Ask God and seek His guidance. Stay united with your fellow brothers and sisters. Do not focus on the differences. Instead, look at the bigger picture and align your thoughts to God’s will. Set…

Choose the one that will lead you to experience more of God’s love
When life throws so many options, and you find it hard to make the right decision, just choose the one that will lead you to experience more of God’s love. Set your eyes on Jesus. Only then will you be guided in the right direction. Sometimes, when we are overwhelmed by what’s happening around us, we tend to forget the One that matters most in the end. We focus on things that will pacify what we feel. We avoid the hard choices because it takes so much courage to do it. But when you face every situation with God, He will always lead you to love. Most of the time,…

Romans 8:5, NIV
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. Romans 8:5, NIV What are the things that you focus on? What are your concerns in life? Is it about the desires of your flesh? Or the important things that your spirit needs? You see, this world will somehow tempt you to focus on what you can see, taste and hear. There will be days when the desires of your flesh are stronger than the desires of your spirit. When that happens, always remember what the…

Your Values are more important than your Outer Beauty
God sees things differently. The world will tell you that beauty is more important than your character and values, but God will always remind you to focus on what’s going on inside. The world will tempt you to improve the things the people can see, but God’s love will compel you to work on things that will bring you to eternity. There are things that we consider important, but in the eyes of God, its value can’t even equate to what he already put in our hearts. This is the reason why you need to stop following the standards of this world. You will just feel broken and empty if…

God’s love is Real, and He can Absolutely change your Life
It’s hard to believe that perfect love exists simply because we are not used to it. We are living in this broken world where pain is so common. We used to live a life where things were changing, and nothing remained the same. This is the reason why it’s hard to comprehend that we still have the chance to experience true love. But even if it’s hard, it is so possible. God’s love is real. It’s not tangible, but you can feel it. It’s not visible, but you can absolutely receive it. If you only let go of your own understanding and allow Him to reign, He will slowly open…

John 14:27, NIV
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27, NIV You may go through unexpected events in life, but don’t let your hearts be troubled. Jesus already gave you the peace that you need. You just have to open your heart and receive it. You can take charge of your situation no matter how difficult it is. You can’t focus on God and allow His to take over. Do not be afraid. Your problems may appear big, but God is more powerful. Keep your faith…

Focus on Who you are Walking with
We tend to focus on our journey and sometimes forget who we are walking with. Life is sometimes too overwhelming to notice other than what is in front of us. That is why we can’t see that we trade our quality time for something that would have mattered more than what we actually chose. We keep on being busy rather than spending time with people we love. We won’t notice that our priorities slowly alter as we invite new responsibilities in life. Although each of us has different preferences, it is sad that we would only know the worth of one thing when it begins to fade and be gone…

Day 315 – Romans 8:25
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. Romans 8:25, NIV Wait, and do not be pressured by your own timeline. God has His own perfect timing. Trust Him because He knows what’s ahead. Do not worry if you experience so many delays in life. There is a purpose why God allowed you to wait. So instead of looking at the things that you don’t have, focus on His blessings and power. Patiently wait for His hands to move, and keep in mind that everything that He is doing is for your own good. He will never withhold the blessings that He…

Day 312 – Matthew 17:20
He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20, NIV Have faith. You may face so many challenges in life but believe in the power of God. Nothing is impossible if you put your trust in Him. When you go through challenges and heartbreaks, choose to focus on His promises. When the pain is too deep, remember His words and the bright future that He prepared. Let your faith be greater than your fears.…
