John 14: 1, NIV
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. John 14:1, NIV Jesus said these words after He shared to His disciples the things that will happen them.

When the burden is too heavy, Come to God and Cry it out to Him
Sometimes, the best thing to do is just to cry. People may think that you are weak and so vulnerable, but your tears have the power to purify your soul. Pour them out to God and tell Him everything. He knows the background story. You don’t even have to explain everything. He knows the reasons behind your tears. And even before you want to defend yourself in the presence of God, He is already fighting with you. Even before the very first drop of tears came out in your weary eyes, your loving Father is already doing some miracles behind the scene. He is sending His angels to comfort and…

For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Luke 14:11,NIV Sometimes we badly want to put ourselves first because of our pride, but remember that God wanted us to stay humble. He sees our hearts. He knows our motives.

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…

Day 426 – Luke 8:48
Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” Luke 8: 48, NIV Jesus healed a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. Her faith caused her to experience the miracle that she’s been waiting for. Our Savior didn’t notice her at first, but He felt the Holy Spirit moving, and it’s all because the woman believed with all her heart that Jesus could heal her. This is a great reminder for us to believe in the power of Jesus.
