Great Is The Love Of God
I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Dear God, Why Is It Hard To Receive Your Perfect Love?
I never really know what it means to receive perfect love. It seems like it doesn’t exist. How could someone love me unconditionally? I can’t fathom the idea that someone is willing to surrender his life just for me to experience healing and find freedom. It’s hard to believe someone wanted to give me everything I needed without expecting anything in return. This world somehow treats this idea as foolish. People will treat me as stupid or unwise if I do such a thing. This is why it’s hard to believe in your perfect love. Part of me is wondering if it is real or not. The more I focus…

The Gifts of Pain
Nobody wants to experience pain in life. Most of us want to protect our hearts from it. But even though it’s not easy to deal with it, there are beautiful gifts behind every wound. 1. Pain will teach us important lessons in life. Sometimes, we need to experience it so that our eyes will be opened to the things we ignore. Perhaps God had already given us warnings all along the way, but then we chose to follow our own understanding. That’s why, we end up hurting. At some point, we need to humbly receive the consequences of our decisions so that we will learn. 2. Pain will keep us…

Before you judge someone, never forget that you are also a Forgiven Sinner
Never forget those moments when God poured out His grace in your life. Just like all His precious children, you are also one of those sinners that He chose to forgive. Keep that in mind because it is one of the important forces that will help you stay humble when you notice other people’s mistakes and sins. Let His grace reminds you to stay compassionate despite the pain that you experience. Never forget who you were before God picked you up. You may have a different identity right now, but that doesn’t mean you already have the right to judge others as if you are always blameless and pure. It’s…

Even Jesus took some time to Pray to our Heavenly Father
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Mark 1:35, NIV We don’t have any excuse, we may think that we are too busy, but it’s not a good reason for us to skip our prayer time. Even Jesus, who is the Son of God, chose to humble Himself and prayed to our Heavenly Father while He was still here on earth. Who are we to rely on our own strength? We all need God’s love and power. We need His mercy and grace every single day. So don’t just call upon…

We are called to serve others
Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” -Matthew 20: 25-28 Jesus came here on earth to show us what it means to serve. Yes, He is the Son of God, but still, He demonstrated to us how to truly love…

Never depend your happiness and fulfillment on other people or the things that you want to have. It’s a choice that you need to make. Choose to be happy…
