Dear God, Thank you for teaching me what Humility is through the pain that I encountered

John 12:50, NIV
I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.” John 12:50, NIV Jesus chose to follow the commands of our Heavenly Father because He knew that it leads to eternal life.

Do not Rely on your Own Desires because Sometimes, it’s Selfish
There are certain desires in our lives that we follow, but then, it ends in destruction. So check your heart first. What are the things that you wanted to achieve? What urges you to reach your dreams? What’s the reason behind all your actions? You need to ask yourself first before you make decisions because you might regret things in the end. Consult God and ask Him what to do. Never rely on your own desires. Remember that humans are not perfect. We sometimes think of our own interests. Try to look at the possible consequences of your decisions. Think before you act. Remember that you can never turn back…
