Overcome Evil with Good
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21, NIV Overcome evil by kindness. This may sound crazy in the eyes of this world, but it’s how God wants us to live. Imagine the people who broke your heart. You may want to do something that would make them realize the wrong things that they did, but contrary to what you want to happen, Paul reminds you to be kind to them. Bad things can never defeat the enemy. In fact, it could possibly strengthen them. You know what would stop them? It’s goodness. A dark heart can never defeat evil. It’s God’s righteousness and love…

There is Power in your Tears
It’s hard to deal with things that you can’t see. I wish we had the right lens to magnify the real things inside. The wounds in our hearts. The past that we can’t forget. The traumas we’ve been through. The pain that we can’t let go. All those things are invisible. We can’t physically touch or see them, but they are real. Sometimes, they are more real than the victories you experienced in life. They are bigger than the excitement that you have for the future. The tears are more evident than the smile and laughter. But even if, most of the time, the reason for your tears is so…

Choose the one that will lead you to experience more of God’s love
When life throws so many options, and you find it hard to make the right decision, just choose the one that will lead you to experience more of God’s love. Set your eyes on Jesus. Only then will you be guided in the right direction. Sometimes, when we are overwhelmed by what’s happening around us, we tend to forget the One that matters most in the end. We focus on things that will pacify what we feel. We avoid the hard choices because it takes so much courage to do it. But when you face every situation with God, He will always lead you to love. Most of the time,…

There is no such thing as “Self-made” Christian
If you call yourself a Christian, then it means that you are no longer the god of your life. Instead, you treat Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. You abide in His ways and obey His commands. You depend on His love and not on your own strength. You no longer live according to your own understanding. Instead, you choose to rely on what God is saying. That’s what being a Christian is all about. It means that you are no longer on your own. You allow the Holy Spirit to guide and lead you along the journey. So if you think that you are who you are right…

What’s with God that He still loved us even if we already abused His goodness?
God remained faithful despite our immature response to His love. He continues to pour out His blessings even though we choose to complain over the things He didn’t give to us. He fulfilled His promises even if we were so impatient. He was so steadfast even if we fail to appreciate the things that He is doing behind the scenes. God remained good. He never changes. What’s with Him that He never gave up on us despite our bad response to His grace? Why is it that He never gets tired of loving us? We somehow abused His kindness by the way we handled His resources. We waste His blessings…

Jesus Reveals Himself to Sinners
If you think that Jesus won’t connect to you because of your sins and mistakes, then you are wrong. If you only read the bible, you will realize that Jesus loves to pursue the sinners. He wants to lead them to the Father. Jesus is pursuing imperfect and impure people, and that includes all of us. So stop hiding in His presence. Don’t act as if you can save yourself. Because the truth is only the precious blood of Jesus can redeem us from hell. He alone has the power to rescue us from the mess and the darkness that we are in. If you feel guilty because of your…
