God’s Ways Are Different
I may have my own plans, but God’s will must prevail. His ways may sometimes be unpredictable, but his plans are better than my plans, and He sees things differently. These are the truths that I need to slowly accept, especially when I encounter situations that are out of my control. This may be hard to fathom, but what helped me the most was simply reminding myself about who God is. He moves in ways I can’t always see. His hands are there, but they’re not always visible. That’s why I need to constantly remind myself that God is doing miracles behind the scenes despite the troubles and challenges I…

Don’t just dwell on your own Understanding
It takes humility to accept the truth that you don’t know everything. It may seem like you’ve been through a lot of journeys in life, and you probably learned so many things, but that doesn’t give you the assurance that you will easily figure out the solutions to your next problems. You never really know what will happen next. You don’t know how this world works not until you ask the Creator Himself. So please don’t rely on your own understanding.

Obeying the commands of God is like telling “I Love You Too” to Him
God gave us certain commands because He wants to protect and lead us to the future that He prepared.
