God is Kind
Did you ever wonder how God will respond every time you commit mistakes? How will He treat you every time you miss His instructions? Or how will He react when you are in pain? In 1 John 4:8, it was stated that God is love, and in 1 Corinthians 13, it says that one of the attributes of love is kindness. This means that our God is a kind God. Every time we sin, He will never respond with a condemning voice. He will never highlight our mistakes nor give us the punishment we deserve. God would respond with kindness. Every time we fail to notice His blessings and become…

You can never move Forward if you allow your Regrets to consume your Thoughts
Turn your regrets into lessons and then choose to move forward. Forgive yourself and remember that you are just a human. You are not perfect. It means that you will commit mistakes along the way. You will discover things that are painful, and you will go through so many adjustments in life. God will take you to different seasons. He will let you experience new things, and you will find yourself struggling. These are all part of the long journey. You are not meant to treat every detour as your destination. Sometimes, you need to look beyond what you experienced. You need to widen your perspective and focus on what…

Acts 5:12-15, NIV
The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon’s Colonnade. No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number. As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by. Acts 5: 12-15, NIV Jesus remained faithful to His disciples even after He resurrected. He sent the Holy Spirit to guide and give them…

God can Heal the Deepest Wound in your Heart
No one really knows what it feels like to carry that pain in your heart except God. He witnessed everything. He was there. He was with you when you first encountered that event that destroyed the way you look at life. He knows the back story and the outcome. God is aware of everything that you’ve been dealing with. And if, by chance, you are wondering why He allowed those things to happen, then remind yourself that we all have free will. God may want us to experience the fullness of this life, but He usually gives us the freedom to choose. God gave you a chance to make your…

John 19:15, NIV
But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!” “Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered. John 19:15, NIV People wanted to crucify Jesus, not knowing that He was the only One who could save them. He suffered and was tortured because they never recognized Him. Sometimes, we are also like these people in so many ways. We hurt God, not knowing that He is the One who can help us. We tend to blame Him for the bad things that happened and forget to recognize our mistakes. We caused Him pain by following our own desires and…

John 19: 2-3, NIV
The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they slapped him in the face. John 19:2-3, NIV Our Savior doesn’t deserve to experience this maltreatment. But He took this pain and carried every painful word that the soldiers said to Him. He is a perfect human. He never commits mistakes. Slapping Him on the face is just too much to bear. But Jesus chose to stay and never walked away. He patiently went through the process. He chose to face their accusations.…

John 18:25, NIV
Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself. So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?” He denied it, saying, “I am not.” John 18:25, NIV Simon Peter is a disciple of God. He followed our Savior and listened to His teachings. Jesus would take Him to different places. He walked on water, and He saw Jesus perform miracles. Peter went through a lot with Jesus, but those experiences were not enough for Him to feel secure when persecution happened. The moment Jesus was arrested, Simon Peter left His master. He even denied Him not once but three times. And the amazing part is…

3 things you can do when you experience Failures in Life
Failures are part of life. In fact, it is a healthy indication that you are constantly growing and learning.

Forgiveness is also a Process
It’s hard to forget the pain, especially when it comes from the people you dearly love and care for. This is the reason why you need to go through the process and learn to forgive. It’s not just a one-time, big-time decision that you need to make. It’s a constant declaration – an everyday decision. You need to face the impact of the mistakes that they made. Things won’t be easy but remember that real forgiveness is not about forgetting the pain but it’s about trusting that God will help you along the healing process. You forgive not just for the sake of the offender, but you do it to…
