I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. John 17: 9, NIV Jesus prayed for His disciples. He knows that His prayer is so important. That’s why don’t stop praying for the people you love. You may not instantly receive the answers to your prayers, but keep in mind that God is listening.

John 17:7, NIV
Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. John 17:7, NIV Jesus knew that everything that He received came from God. Sometimes, we tend to forget this truth, especially when we receive blessings after exerting effort and doing our best. We feel entitled to what He gave to the point that we can no longer share it with others. We find it hard to treat ourselves as vessels because we forget that what we have all come from God. So if you are surrounded by people who are in need, and you happen to have more than enough blessings, then remember that what you have comes…

Just because you are in Pain doesn’t mean you are Defeated.
Those who choose to love will somehow experience pain in life. Every relationship that involves human beings will go through tests or hardships. It’s because we are all imperfect. We live in a broken world that longs for healing and grace. And as long as you are still breathing and still surrounded by people, then expect certain days when you will feel frustrated and in pain because of the mistakes that your loved ones committed. And this doesn’t mean that you should stop loving others. You can never live a fulfilled life without love. It’s one of the most essential ingredients that will help you stay motivated. All you need…

John 16:33, NIV
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33, NIV Jesus didn’t promise us a comfortable life. In fact, He said to His disciples that they would face tribulations. They will go through pain and suffering. They will experience problems and persecution, but despite these things, Jesus gives them the courage to keep going. He has overcome this world. Meaning to say, the enemy no longer has the power to trap us in His schemes as long as we have Jesus in our hearts. He is the One…

The Lies that you Believe in will Hinder you from experiencing God’s Peace
You will carry overwhelming guilt the moment you choose to live a life that’s full of lies. You won’t be able to appreciate the things that God is doing because you listen to the voice of the enemy. Maybe you unknowingly committed so many mistakes because all this time, you can’t face the truths in your life. It may appear so heartbreaking, but please don’t live in the darkness. You can never experience love if you keep on doing the things that will kill your conscience. Pause for a while, listen to the still, small voice inside your heart, and do the right thing. That’s the only way for you…

John 15:20, NIV
Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. John 15:20, NIV If you believe that you are a follower of Christ, then expect persecution to happen. If Jesus received so many judgments and accusations while He was on earth, then as His servant, you will also go through what your master experienced. It won’t be easy. As you walk along the journey with Him, you will discover that following Him is not about living a life that is free from pain, but it’s about obeying Him…

John 15:17, NIV
This is my command: Love each other. John 15:17, NIV Love is not that easy to give, especially when your heart is breaking. It takes a lot of effort, and you need to let go of what you feel for you to fully give yourself away. You need to gain some strength so that you can open your heart and try to love again. It’s challenging, but you can do it with the help of God. You can only accept other people the moment you realize that God poured out undeserving grace in your life. Through His precious son Jesus, He showed you what it means to sacrifice for the…

John 15:14, NIV
You are my friends if you do what I command. John 15:14, NIV Jesus treats those who obey Him as friends. It means that they can gain access and connections that mere servants can’t receive. They can’t experience great things that a simple follower can’t experience. Having a friend like Jesus is always amazing. Imagine, the Creator and Savior of this world shared some revelations that others can’t receive. And that will only happen if you will obey. It’s challenging, especially when He asks you to do things that don’t make sense at first. But if you only follow His commands, you will realize at the end that God wants…

Luke 24:6-7, NIV
He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” Luke 24: 6-7, NIV Jesus has risen! He didn’t stay in the tomb. He didn’t dwell in the darkness. He is alive. It means that He already conquered death. He overcame the principalities of this world. And because of that, everyone who believes in Him has the right to experience freedom and victory. So take heart, weary soul! There is still hope. The Savior of this…

John 15:15, NIV
I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. John 15: 15, NIV Jesus calls us friends. It means that He gave us the opportunity to discover a lot of things in His Kingdom. Having a friend like Jesus is like gaining a priceless treasure. Remember that He treats us not as a servant who is just waiting for His master’s instructions but He is a friend who can connect to our hearts. He can reveal to us the wonders of His love through…
