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. Don’t focus on your own knowledge because God will prove to you that there is still so much more that you need to discover. Open your heart and allow…

When things are Overwhelming, God is there to Hold your Hands

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. He loves us so much that He gave us instructions and guidelines about how to live this life according to His will. He alone knows what’s ahead. He is aware of the things that are waiting for us. God knows what we need to prepare for us to victoriously fight the battles in the future. There are just times when we can’t understand the reason behind all His commands. In our eyes, it seems so meaningless. We would often ask Him why we need to go through certain pain. We sometimes…

Sometimes, God will ask you to do Things that you Think you Hate
Our journey with God won’t always be smooth and perfect. Sometimes, we need to go through the seasons that we badly hate. We need to do things that we don’t want to do. But for the sake of God, we will be pushed to take steps outside our comfort zone. It takes faith and humility to finish the journey. And it’s not that God wants to punish us. There are just things in life that we can only learn in the wilderness.
