Why is it Hard to Let Go?
There’s this quote that made me realize why, somehow, it’s hard for people to let go of certain things in their lives. It says, “Empty hearts cannot let go.” This is a very deep revelation for me. Now, I realize why there are times when it seems so hard to let go of the things that are no longer helping me. It’s because all this time, my heart is empty. Part of me is scared of what might happen next. What if I will no longer receive the same opportunity? What if things will get worst? What if I will feel alone along the way? My mind is bombarded with…

Sometimes, you Unknowingly Neglect the important Blessings because you want Something Else
Focus on the things that matter most in the end. When your mind is bombarded with the standards of this world, there’s a tendency that you will miss the great blessings around you. Because you want something else, you unknowingly neglect the things that you truly need. The spirit of familiarity was already there that you think everything that you have right now will stay forever.

The Lord can take away the Things or People that He freely Gave
God is sovereign. He created this world. He is powerful, and He can do all things. We must not forget who He truly is because if we don’t have any clue about what He did, we will have the tendency to own what He gave. You are living in a world where everything is borrowed, and that includes your life and the lives of the people you love. Please keep in mind that God determines what He will give to us, and He also decides when He will take them. Let’s not treat ourselves as if we deserve every blessing that He gave. Yes, we are His children, but we…
