Believe in the Goodness of God
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Psalms 27:13, NKJV One thing that greatly helped David, especially in seasons of difficulties, was to believe in God’s goodness. He would have lost heart, but he kept reminding himself that God was good despite everything he was going through. Many times, we also go through seasons when we want to give up. We experience moments of loss or pain, and we can’t help but think that God doesn’t care. In this verse, we are reminded that one of the things that would help us hold…

2 Corinthians 5:7, NIV
For we live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7, NIV Paul wrote this verse after he said that as long as we are in this earthly tent, we groan and are burdened (2 Corinthians 5:4). Then, he encouraged them to activate their faith and not allow the circumstances around them to destroy their relationship with God. Indeed, there are seasons in life wherein we will be challenged to keep our faith. It usually happens when we go through challenges or pain. It somehow gives us a taste of how it feels like to be away from God. It takes faith to believe that good things will still happen…

Let this Pain Lord lead me to Receive Your Love
I once thought walking with You would save me from troubles and pain. I wanted to follow You so that I will no longer experience unexpected tragedies that will break me in the end. I thought that being with You meant living a life without pain. But little did I know that what I believed was only a half-truth principle.

There will be days when I just wanted to quit and do my own…

Every season brings different lessons. But sometimes, we fail to learn the important lessons simply because we can’t manage to embrace the season that we are in.

Our perspectives hinder us from appreciating the different moments we experienced. So instead of relying on your own understanding. Try to open your heart and allow God to teach you about the purpose behind the season that you are in. Acknowledge that you don’t know everything. Don’t just simply jump into conclusion without…
