After this, Jesus invited him to come and follow him. For this rich man, his wealth somehow gave him the temporary security that he wanted. But despite the earthly possessions that he gained, his heart is still longing for something that this world can never give. He is still looking for something…

Faith Starts When you keep Walking, Even when Nothing Makes Sense
You won’t really see what’s ahead. That’s why the situations around you appear so meaningless because you don’t know the reason why you need to go through those seasons. You can’t connect them to your future yet. It’s like walking along an unknown path. It won’t make sense. Many times, God will ask you to do certain things without any explanation. You will be challenged to believe in His promises and not in your own will and understanding. He will instruct you to do things that are new and sometimes scary. It’s going to be challenging, but the more you follow God in places you are not familiar with, the…

Rich and poor have this in common: The Lord is the Maker of them all. Proverbs 22:2, NIV This is the reason why we shouldn’t boast about the things that we have because, at the end of the day, we are all equal in the eyes of God.
