You and God are Partners
God gave you the freedom to choose. That’s why your relationship with Him will not work if you fail to follow His ways. Remember that you and God are partners.

Treating Him as your partner means that you will not make plans without His guidance. It means that you will consider His will in everything that you do, not just in moments when things are already falling apart. You need to…

You’ll never know what other People Truly Feel
Nobody really knows what you truly feel inside except God. And the same goes for the people around you, even if you think you know what they are going through, but you are not wearing their shoes. You never experienced the exact pain that they are trying to deal with because you didn’t see everything that’s going on in their lives. This is the reason why you shouldn’t judge other people. Instead of telling them to immediately get up and move on, try your best to listen to them first. Be patient because we also have different ways of dealing with our pain. Some can easily recover, but others need…

Sometimes, your Increase comes after the mess
Where no oxen are, the manger is clean, but much revenue comes by the strength of the ox. Proverbs 14:4, NIV In the past years, farmers used oxen to help them yield a bountiful harvest. But before they receive great revenue, they still need to take good care of them and put them in the manger. And when the oxen are inside the manger, farmers are expected to see a mess and a dirty place that they need to clean from time to time. But despite this messy place, the farmers expect the oxen to do the work in their field. Their strength is really a great help for them.…

Sometimes, God purposely allows delays so that He can Display His miracles
When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” John 11:4, NIV Mary and Martha sent a word to Jesus and told Him that their brother Lazarus was sick. And when Jesus knew about this, He didn’t rush and immediately went back to Bethany, the place of Lazarus, but He said that His sickness would not end in death because it would glorify God in the end. Two days after, Jesus decided to visit His friends. On His arrival, Jesus found out that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for…
