You have to realize that your situation is a product of your actions. He gave you the time and freedom to choose it for yourself. When something undesirable happens, it is not to punish you but to make you realize that there are things that…

Day 391 – Luke 5:18-19
Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. Luke 5:18-19, NIV These men didn’t leave their paralyzed friend on their own. They chose to carry the man to Jesus despite the crowd. They looked for ways how to help him. They didn’t leave him alone. Many times we also meet people who are broken…

Day 330 – Mark 14: 50
Then everyone deserted him and fled. Mark 14: 50, NIV Jesus was abandoned by His disciples in the most heart-breaking moment of His life. Instead of staying with their master, they fled away and left Him. It must have been so painful for Jesus to see His disciples leave. It was not an easy thing to do. He needs to abide in the Father’s will on His own. If Jesus, who is perfect and pure, experienced this kind of pain, then we who are sinners are not also exempted from this. We will also go through brokenness. But just like what Jesus did, may we also learn to abide in…
