Focus on Eternal Things
This world is broken. There will be times when we experience pain and problems, and there will be unfair situations along the way. This is why we need to set our eyes on eternal things. If we just focus on the situations of this world, we will easily lose hope and feel disappointed. The negative things around us will consume our souls, and living a fulfilled life will be impossible. When we also fix our eyes on the temporary things of this world, we will no longer consider the eternal consequences of our choices. We will live as if our life ends after death. We will try to do the…

God is Just
My whole being will exclaim, “Who is like you, Lord? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them.” Psalm 35:10, NIV God is moving even when you can’t see Him. Many times, we witness injustices around us. People tend to use their power to exploit certain resources for their own gain. They took the shortcut and eagerly received the things that they wanted. They forget the rights of other people and think of their selfish gains. If you experience unfavorable situations that make you feel like God is not there. Then, this verse will remind you what’s in His…

What If The Good Things That You Did Will Turn Into Treasures In Heaven?
“Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Matthew19:21, NIV Jesus gave this instruction to a rich man who wanted to receive eternal life. He simply taught him to gather treasures not here on earth but in heaven. After this, Jesus invited him to come and follow him. For this rich man, his wealth somehow gave him the temporary security that he wanted. But despite the earthly possessions that he gained, his heart is still longing for something that this world can never give. He is still looking for something…

When God Trusts you enough to testify His Goodness Despite your Circumstances
There are events in your life that will lead you to ask so many questions to God. If He healed others, then why can’t I receive my own miracle?

We can never satisfy our Spirit just by relying on our own Efforts and Strengths
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3, NIV Sometimes, when we are at the peak of our success, or when we feel that our life flows so smoothly, we think what we have is more than enough. We tend to rely on our strengths, thinking we can survive on our own. We focus on the riches that we have, and we live as if we are the ruler of our lives. But the sad truth is that life is not perfect. Whether we like it or not, we will go through seasons where we will realize how much we need God. The…

If you only learn to move forward and keep going despite the fears that you feel inside, then you will surely find it…

May Everything we do lead to God’s Glory
Our actions are a product of what we have within us. As water reflects a man’s image, so does our mouth reflect what’s in our hearts. That is why we need to be observant of our actions. Let us be careful not to act carelessly, or we might hurt other people in our lives. Careless acts could harm us and those that are innocent. Remember that our actions speak louder than our words. Therefore, we need to be as careful as possible and evaluate ourselves. Our selves could surprise us most of the time. We could get overwhelmed when we discover that there are things that we never thought we…
