I’d rather take the Pain than live Life without Real Joy and Love within
I thought a happy life meant living without pain and problems. I thought it was about protecting yourself from potential heartaches. You see, wounds are scary. They can traumatize you and lead you to misery. It’s not good. Period. This was my mindset before, and because I was full of fear within, the pain became my number one enemy. I tried to live life protecting myself from the things that could possibly break me in the end. I was like a tiny house built on a very weak foundation. My roof was made of leaves, my windows were wide open because of the wounds, and I don’t have any doors…

God’s Blessings Flow Endlessly
God’s blessings will continue flowing in your life as long as you are still breathing. You are blessed the way He knows and loves you. Sometimes, your eyes are so focused on someone else’s life that you forget to take care of yourself. Rather than feeling envious of others, know they have been through a lot before they reached success. Don’t just see their victory but also learn from the process that they have been through. Learn how they built their courage beyond the uncertainties that they felt. Learn how they remain in their faith and hold on to God’s promises when they have all the reasons to break down.…

Live with those who will give you the Opportunity to Grow
Your life is a gift and you are meant to experience many great things in this journey. This is because you are the one who decides which path you will take. Sometimes, life is so gentle and generous, making every plan of your heart prosper according to your purpose. However, there are times when things won’t work out and fail.

Time won’t Help you Forget
No matter how long you need to wait, time itself can never help you to move forward. It takes a decision. You need to make a conscious effort so that you can let go of the past. If you remain passive with the things that you’ve been through, then time can’t help you in finding the freedom that you long to experience. It will only magnify the things that are going on inside. If you live with bitterness, then time will reveal to you the real issues of your heart. It won’t solve the root problem. So if you think that things will be better as time goes by without…

As long as God is with you, Enemies don’t have Power against you
Stay in God’s presence. This world has a lot to offer for your own entertainment and happiness, but not all of them will do you good in the long run. Enemies are not just those who can talk back at you; they looked harmless at first. They will not affect you directly. But they will accumulate and come back to you more assertively, making you defenseless if you are not careful enough. However, the one living in you is stronger than your enemies. That is, stay close to God. Consciously involve Him in everything that you do. Plan with Him and always ask for His wisdom. Fill your mind with…

God will not Rush you to Make Things Better Right Away
Blaming other people won’t make things easier. Putting someone responsible for matters in your life won’t give you peace. However, there is a possibility that your past may have influenced you to act like that. Pain and unhealed child experiences could also be a reason.
