You are Surrounded by People who have Different Perspectives
Not everyone loves to do what they want. Just because you badly wanted to achieve something doesn’t mean other people also want to do the same thing. Just because you prayed for something big doesn’t mean the person in front of you also has the same exact prayers. If you keep on labeling other people according to your perspective, you will tend to put them inside a box. You will limit their potential and how far they can go. You won’t be able to appreciate the journey that God wants them to take because you are trying to impose your own standards on them. This is the reason why you…

This gift will take you to eternity. But the sad truth is not everyone is willing to receive this precious gift. Some would hesitate. Maybe because they are scared that it might fail them in the end.

Serve one Person at a Time
This is not about the quantity, but it’s all about the quality of service that you give to the people around you. Do not focus on the number. Instead, choose to help one person at a time.
