Serving God in Silence
It’s humbling to know that there are people willing to give their best without expecting anything in return. They are those who serve others in secret. They are those who gladly offer happy sacrifices without any complaints or bitterness, without counting the efforts that they made. Those people are humbly serving God in silence. They are willing to give their life just for others to feel accepted and loved. And no one applauded them in public, but in the Heavenly realms, angels were celebrating, and God Himself was pleased. In the present day, we can’t easily determine who are those who truly serve God with all their hearts. We never…

God Hears Your Cry

The Hardest Part Of Being Honest
Honesty is like a beautiful gift that you can give to yourself. It will give you peace and relief. It’s like a treasure that is sometimes hard to find. It’s a very valuable thing that is hard to give to anyone. It takes time, experience, and sometimes, tears for us to receive it. Honesty and truth are two things that people wanted but never really appreciated. We are living in a world where being honest means taking a risk. Maybe because people no longer value the truth as it is. Perhaps they already find temporary comfort from the lies in their head. And instead of giving an honest heart with…

When You Choose to Love Because of Jesus, Death Will Never Be the End But It’s the Beginning
Jesus says in John 13:35, “By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples if you have loved one another.” LOVE. This is one of Jesus’s most important words. He wanted us to take good care of our brothers and sisters. He encouraged us to serve those who are in need and broken.

Whether we like it or not, we will meet someone along the way who will challenge our faith. They are those who carry…
