You can’t Hide your Wounds Forever
You can silently cry in the darkness, keep the pain inside and try to appear whole and healed, but you can’t always hide your wounds forever. You may have a lot of ways how to temporarily set aside what you truly feel, but life will throw so many circumstances that bring out what you’ve been hiding. Sooner or later, the wounds will manifest in ways you never expect. You will try to express them through anger, bitterness, or fear. When you ignore the pain you feel, it will turn into negative emotions you can’t easily control. So before it bursts in the open, come to God and deal with the…

Time won’t Help you Forget
No matter how long you need to wait, time itself can never help you to move forward. It takes a decision. You need to make a conscious effort so that you can let go of the past. If you remain passive with the things that you’ve been through, then time can’t help you in finding the freedom that you long to experience. It will only magnify the things that are going on inside. If you live with bitterness, then time will reveal to you the real issues of your heart. It won’t solve the root problem. So if you think that things will be better as time goes by without…

God will help you Accept Changes within Yourself
Change is constant. It happens when we least expect it. The events in our lives continue to happen very naturally. As moments pass, we see that they mold our lives and make us the present version of ourselves. We learned a lot of things and took up this lesson to work within ourselves. But our changes sometimes differ from some people in our lives. Our differences are only sometimes smiled upon. Sometimes, it needs an explanation and a couple of considerations to understand. Maybe it is our nature to change and just be a part of something rather than stay in one place forever. It is not only the events…

When you feel like God is not There
There is a certain season in life when you just can’t help but feel like you are alone. You can’t see the blessings around you, and it seems like God doesn’t exist. When you experience that moment, always put this gentle reminder in your heart: God is there, and He never leaves your side. You can’t see and feel His hands because your senses are focused on other things. Maybe your heart is too occupied by your fears, or perhaps, you are always thinking about your problems. Just be patient with the season that you are in, and don’t treat it as your enemy. Sometimes, you will go through moments…

God has no limit to how He can bless your life
God will bless you. He can reveal things in your life that can change how you look and handle yourself and others. You may ask Him about the things that you want and the things that your heart hungers. What you deeply desire is what will be given. He will show you favor in every journey of your life. But not all that He is doing will make sense at first. Sometimes, He will not wrap gifts in fancy papers but in the form of problems and sadness. Not all gifts can be seen because natural treasures are hidden and nourished within you. So, do not just limit your perspective…

Jesus wants us to Carry our Cross and Follow Him
It’s not going to be that easy. Many people think that when you receive Jesus as your king and savior, your life will be full of happy memories. You will no longer face problems, and you will experience joy every single day. Yes, this may be true when we go to heaven, but as long as we are living here on earth, we will still experience moments of brokenness and pain. There will be times when we need to carry our cross. It means that we will face burdens that are heavy for us to handle. Things won’t be that smooth because Jesus knows that following Him is like going…

The Only One who Witnessed the Whole Process
We sometimes strive to make things perfect for the sake of those people who never really care for us. We change the way we dress, aim for greater goals and work hard to earn more so that we can make others proud of us. But at the end of the day, pleasing them can never make us truly happy. That’s because we are not wired to please everybody. We are created to glorify the only audience who witnessed the whole process. From the time you are born and up to this moment, God is there watching over you. He is the only One that you should adore and not those…

As long as God is with you, Enemies don’t have Power against you
Stay in God’s presence. This world has a lot to offer for your own entertainment and happiness, but not all of them will do you good in the long run. Enemies are not just those who can talk back at you; they looked harmless at first. They will not affect you directly. But they will accumulate and come back to you more assertively, making you defenseless if you are not careful enough. However, the one living in you is stronger than your enemies. That is, stay close to God. Consciously involve Him in everything that you do. Plan with Him and always ask for His wisdom. Fill your mind with…

Sometimes, God will ask you to do Things that you Think you Hate
Our journey with God won’t always be smooth and perfect. Sometimes, we need to go through the seasons that we badly hate. We need to do things that we don’t want to do. But for the sake of God, we will be pushed to take steps outside our comfort zone. It takes faith and humility to finish the journey. And it’s not that God wants to punish us. There are just things in life that we can only learn in the wilderness. So if you think that God is pushing you to your limits, then it simply means that He prepared a growth journey that will surely take you to…
