John 15:17, NIV
This is my command: Love each other. John 15:17, NIV Love is not that easy to give, especially when your heart is breaking. It takes a lot of effort, and you need to let go of what you feel for you to fully give yourself away. You need to gain some strength so that you can open your heart and try to love again. It’s challenging, but you can do it with the help of God. You can only accept other people the moment you realize that God poured out undeserving grace in your life. Through His precious son Jesus, He showed you what it means to sacrifice for the…

Forgiveness is also a Process
It’s hard to forget the pain, especially when it comes from the people you dearly love and care for. This is the reason why you need to go through the process and learn to forgive. It’s not just a one-time, big-time decision that you need to make. It’s a constant declaration – an everyday decision. You need to face the impact of the mistakes that they made. Things won’t be easy but remember that real forgiveness is not about forgetting the pain but it’s about trusting that God will help you along the healing process. You forgive not just for the sake of the offender, but you do it to…

The Lord can take away the Things or People that He freely Gave
God is sovereign. He created this world. He is powerful, and He can do all things. We must not forget who He truly is because if we don’t have any clue about what He did, we will have the tendency to own what He gave. You are living in a world where everything is borrowed, and that includes your life and the lives of the people you love. Please keep in mind that God determines what He will give to us, and He also decides when He will take them. Let’s not treat ourselves as if we deserve every blessing that He gave. Yes, we are His children, but we…

Day 455 – Luke 17:4
Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them. Luke 17:4, NIV Choose to forgive those people who hurt you. Remember how Jesus sacrificed His life just to show you that your sins are forgiven. So extend that grace to those who need it. Don’t keep what He gave just for yourself. Freely give what you freely receive from God. Do it also not for the sake of those people who hurt you, but treat it as a gift for yourself. When you forgive someone, it’s like you are also releasing yourself from the…

Your Prayer is more about What you See than what you Say
Prayers are not just asking God to do what we want but more about believing in God’s grace and glory. It is about believing in His immeasurable power and wisdom. Our prayers are powerful. They hold our connection with the Father. However, it is not just a one-way dialogue. It is a communication wherein you need to listen. Prayers are not just for provisions. It is more than that. It is about how we grow in the presence of the Father and how we will obey Him. He listens to us genuinely. He understands why we utter the words that we did, what is living in our hearts, and what…
