Sometimes, What We Need Is A Humble Heart To Accept What God Allowed To Happen
Life is unpredictable. Even though there will be instances when we need to face the consequences of our choices, there will still be moments when God allows certain things to happen. And it’s not that He wants to punish or condemn us; it’s just that His ways are higher than our ways. This is the reason why we badly need to have a humble heart to accept the things that God allows us to experience. Acceptance is not easy, especially when you have a different expectation in mind. It takes a heart willing to trust in God’s plans. It takes faith to believe that even though what’s happening is the…

It takes a Humble Heart to Ask for Help
Sometimes, we are so used to doing things on our own that we no longer consider other people’s opinions. Because we don’t want others to think bad about us, we tend to keep everything inside and try to solve our problems alone. We figure things out according to our own understanding, and we quit hoping that there are still genuine hearts who are willing to lend some help and support to us. Because we continuously received so many rejections in the past, we stopped depending on other people’s life. This is the reason why we can’t easily ask for help. We think that we no longer need others. It’s our…

Day 400 – Luke 6:12
One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. Luke 6:12, NIV Jesus went to the mountainside to pray despite His busy schedule. He is already perfect and Holy, but He demonstrated to us how to abide in God’s will. He still has that humble heart to consult our heavenly Father about the best thing to do. He submitted to His commands, and He didn’t rely on His own will. Sometimes, the activities that we have will lead us to forget our prayer time. But may we always remind ourselves to do what is right in the eyes of God,…

Day 292 – Proverbs 18:2
Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions. Proverbs 18:2, NIV Sometimes, when we are too caught up with our own emotions or ego, we tend to express our opinions without considering other people’s feelings. We think that what we have in mind is absolutely right and others should accept them. We feel entitled to our opinions, thinking that it’s what’s best for us and for everyone. But we must seek to understand and not just release what we think. It’s important to pause for a while before we speak. Choose to listen to others first before we share our own opinions. Only then will…

Humble yourself, and you will be Honored
The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Matthew 23: 11-12, NIV This world treats those who have the authority to command and dictate others as powerful and influential. People tend to consider those who are in the higher rank or those who are rich enough as honorable and worthy of our respect. But in the eyes of God, He gives honor to those people who know how to humble themselves and serve others. He looks at the heart and not the physical appearance. He evaluates everybody’s motives. So if you want to be…

Day 174 – Psalm 119:66
Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands. Psalm 119:66 Do not rely on your own understanding. Sometimes, when we go through challenges, we immediately take action based on our own knowledge and skills. But before you do anything, come to God and pray first. Talk to Him and ask for His wisdom that He may teach you the best solution to your problem. Let Him give you good judgment. We may think that we are old enough to handle the circumstances that come our way, but remember that you don’t know everything. You still need to learn so many things. Let God teach you what to…

You will know what Grace is when you finally receive God’s Forgiveness
It takes humility to receive the forgiveness of God. It’s not something that you earn, but all you need to do is open your heart and allow His love to come in. That’s how His grace works. He freely gives it to everyone without asking anything in return. It’s so powerful that it can change the way you see things and the way you love other people. Whether you believe it or not, what Jesus did on the cross is not just an act of love, but it’s how He released forgiveness. He gave us the chance to reconnect to the Father despite everything that we did. And that is…
