A Safe Place to Hide
We all need a place where we can freely expose our weaknesses – a place where we are free to cry and just be honest with ourselves. We need people who accept the worst stories of our past at the same time willing to walk with us. In this broken world we live in, it’s so rare to find a place we can call home. We may have a house or family and friends, but that doesn’t mean they are our safe zones. One way or another, there are times when we feel so alone when we are with them. The people who should’ve known everything about us failed to…

When Jesus said to Matthew “Follow Me”
After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus said to him, and Levi got up, left everything, and followed him. Luke 5:27-28 Levi, also named Matthew, was busy gathering the money of the people. He was a tax collector – known to be a sinner, ridiculed and rejected by his countrymen. He was there doing His usual task. Kept the money of the Jews and gave them to the Romans, which they treated as their enemy. He lived a life of abundance. He had the money that He wanted, yet Matthew was judged and condemned…

Dear God, Please comfort those who are Crying in Silence
I may not know their names Lord, but I pray that you will continue to touch their hearts. Make them more sensitive of your presence. Open their eyes and heart so that they can welcome your healing. Give them a humble heart to accept your ways. They may not understand what’s going on in their lives, but I pray that your grace will continue to sustain them until they overcome this season. People don’t see them, Lord. Only you know the real condition of their hearts. They may find it hard to describe the pain inside, but I pray that you will give them the assurance that they need. Please…

Give up your Selfish desires, and you will experience more of Jesus

This is the reason why it’s very important to align our hearts to God before we take any major steps in achieving our dreams. Try to ask yourself if what you have in mind is for the purpose of glorifying God or just for your own pleasure and entertainment. It’s very crucial to know the deeper reason why you do…

When Faith and Humility Collide
Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet. The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter. “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs…
