Because Of The Holy Spirit, We Will Experience Jesus In Unexpected Ways
But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” Acts 7:55 -56, NIV Stephen was accused and condemned before the Sanhedrin. People treated him as a threat. They felt furious the moment he finished explaining himself. He was in the middle of an interrogation, and when he was full of the Holy Spirit, he chose to look up to heaven. That’s when he saw the glory of God. In the midst of a difficult…

Try to Live this Life with an Eternal Perspective
You can’t stay in this world forever, but you can absolutely spend eternity with your Heavenly Father. So don’t treat this life as if it’s nothing. In everything that you do, always remember that there is an eternal consequence to it. Sin will lead you to suffer, but righteousness and love will bring you to heaven. You just need to choose the path that will give you rest. Now the thing is, you can’t always do what’s right on your own. You need Jesus to guide and lead you. You need His precious blood to cleanse and purify your soul. He is the only One who can take you to…

Allow God to Help you Deal with your Trust Issues
You won’t be able to fully embrace God’s blessing in a relationship if you are still dealing with a lot of trust issues in your heart. You can’t fully appreciate the people around you if you keep building walls that will stop them from coming inside. You won’t be able to experience what it means to truly love others if you do not open your heart. Trust may not be easy to give because of the pain that you experienced, but you will feel like you are in a cage if you always keep your heart hidden. Things in your life will be limited. Yes, you need to protect yourself…

Don’t waste your pain; use them for the Glory of God
Your wounds are too expensive. It takes so many tears just for you to face them. So don’t waste your pain. Know that God can turn things around if you will just allow Him.

Open your heart so that He can come in and transform you from the inside out. He can turn your pain into treasures that will take you to eternity. Just don’t face them on your own. Acknowledge His power and imagine that God is already moving behind the…

Choose to Love your Enemies
Yes, it’s not easy to do it. Especially when the wounds are still open and you can still feel the pain. But it’s a command that God wants us to do. We are called to love the people around us, including those who broke our hearts. It’s one of the things that set us apart from others. We choose to treat people with kindness not because we can do it by our own strength but simply because we trust that God will give us the courage to love them despite what they did. Be good to those people who fail to see your value. Be kind to those who mistreat…

Now I Know What “All Glory To God” Really Means
I really thought that it’s a simple expression that Christians use to say in church. But little did I know that the words, “All glory to God” means so much. It’s a powerful reminder that we live according to His grace, and God simply deserves all the glory. We are nothing without Him, and every blessing we receive comes from Him. God destined us to do great things that are beyond our natural ability. He wanted to show us what it means to live according to His love and grace. And that simply means that every gift that you have comes from Him. If you learn to steward it properly, you will…
