Day 12 – 1 John 2:9
Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. 1 John 2:9. NIV If you still feel bitter because of what other people did in your life, then it means that you are still living in the darkness. You haven’t fully forgiven them, and the pain you feel inside will hinder you from living in God’s light. So choose to receive God’s grace, and only then will you learn to release mercy to others. Do not dwell on the pain or the negative emotions that you feel. Set yourself free from the chains of the past and allow God to…

A Note to those who can’t Forgive Themselves

Maybe you can’t help it, that’s why you hate yourself because of the wrong things you did especially to those people you love the most, but if you always think about your failures and mistakes, then you will remain so stagnant because of what happened. You will never grow because you choose to hold on to the bitterness and not the lessons that you learned. You…

Day 301 – May 28
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Colossians 3:20,NIV Honor your parents while they are still with you.
