John 15:13, NIV
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13, nIV Giving up our own desires for the sake of the people we love is not easy. It takes a humble and patient heart to surrender the things that we want. We need supernatural strength to do it. This is the reason why we need Jesus. His sacrifice on the cross will remind us not to think of our own desires but to honor the will of God. And it’s His desire to see us extending His love to others – even to those difficult people around us. So, when you are asked…

John 15:4, NIV
Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. John 15:4, NIV You can’t bear fruit without Jesus. Remember that He is the vine. He is the source of life. You need His grace and salvation. You need His love. So don’t just live this life on your own. Maybe you think that you can independently do things outside His presence, but He alone can help you maximize the blessings that He gave. Acknowledge His sovereignty in your life, and be in a serious relationship with Him.…

John 15:2, NIV

Then it’s time to take your walk with God seriously. Ask Him what you need to do so that you will experience and receive the blessings that He prepared. Look at your life and humbly surrender the things that…

You create your Life’s Meaning
Please don’t allow other people to dictate your life. Remember that they can easily change their minds, and it will make no sense to chase their expectations.

Your life is not only a journey of finding meaning because God already planted your purpose inside your heart. You are not to find meaning, but you are to create it. Do not pressure yourself to write a perfect one. Remember, reality is not always perfect, and it will never be. You are meant to make mistakes because you are learning and…

You can empower yourself by starting with how you view things in life. It is like your soul’s eyes. That is why, how you see things will reflect your actions and words. But along the journey, God will help you. Remember, nothing is wrong with you. There are just things that you need to change for your own good. He loves you so much that He wants you to see more treasures in this life. Sometimes, God will expose us to things we cannot understand.…

Something in your Life will Always be more Significant Than your own Desires
To experience absolute freedom in this life, you must acknowledge the reality that there will always be something and someone more significant than you. Doing your best based on being recognized is fine, but to be the best of the best in one thing will only bring you a distraction. Being on the top will give you an ecstatic feeling that is very addicting but know that that place is replaceable. You will never be satisfied if you just have yourself on your life’s journey. If you only rely on happiness for things that you will achieve, you will not experience genuine peace and absolute joy. Real success and victory…
