Seeing the Truth of God
The poor and the oppressor have this in common: The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both. Proverbs 29:13, NIV The Lord gives everyone the chance to see the truth. It’s up to us to accept that truth or not. But regardless of how we react to it, God will present to us the things that we need to see. God is not selfish. He always gives us a chance to know Him and His ways through the things that He allows in our lives. And it’s up to us if we are willing to humbly allow God’s truth to reign in our lives. At the end of the…

You Will Stop Seeking Validation From The Outside If You Know Who You Are On The Inside
Those who don’t know who they truly are will seek validation from the people around them. They will find themselves looking for the approval of others, and they will ultimately feel exhausted simply because they can’t please everyone. This is why it’s very important to work on your core so that you won’t be easily shaken. If you don’t have a strong foundation, other people will easily dictate your identity, or perhaps the situation around you will become your driving force. Instead of standing on solid ground and living in your core values, you will find yourself following the principles of this world. This will then lead you to a…

The Hardest Part Of Being Honest
Honesty is like a beautiful gift that you can give to yourself. It will give you peace and relief. It’s like a treasure that is sometimes hard to find. It’s a very valuable thing that is hard to give to anyone. It takes time, experience, and sometimes, tears for us to receive it. Honesty and truth are two things that people wanted but never really appreciated. We are living in a world where being honest means taking a risk. Maybe because people no longer value the truth as it is. Perhaps they already find temporary comfort from the lies in their head. And instead of giving an honest heart with…

God’s love is Real, and He can Absolutely change your Life
It’s hard to believe that perfect love exists simply because we are not used to it. We are living in this broken world where pain is so common. We used to live a life where things were changing, and nothing remained the same. This is the reason why it’s hard to comprehend that we still have the chance to experience true love. But even if it’s hard, it is so possible. God’s love is real. It’s not tangible, but you can feel it. It’s not visible, but you can absolutely receive it. If you only let go of your own understanding and allow Him to reign, He will slowly open…

You are Surrounded by People who have Different Perspectives
Not everyone loves to do what they want. Just because you badly wanted to achieve something doesn’t mean other people also want to do the same thing. Just because you prayed for something big doesn’t mean the person in front of you also has the same exact prayers. If you keep on labeling other people according to your perspective, you will tend to put them inside a box. You will limit their potential and how far they can go. You won’t be able to appreciate the journey that God wants them to take because you are trying to impose your own standards on them. This is the reason why you…

The Best Gift that you can Receive
There’s this gift that God wants us to receive. It looks simple and ordinary, but in reality, it is so expensive. It’s something that the world can never give. It’s something that comes from heaven. This gift will take you to eternity. But the sad truth is not everyone is willing to receive this precious gift. Some would hesitate. Maybe because they are scared that it might fail them in the end. Maybe they just don’t have the faith to receive it, just like how a kid would welcome a new friend. This gift is so valuable. It was bought at a price that we could never repay. He is…

We are all students in this thing called “Life”
Life is not just a “one-time big-time” course that we only need to go through for a specific span of time. As long as you are still breathing, you still have so many things to learn. This world is so vast that you can’t easily comprehend everything in just one setting. Sometimes you need to retake special subjects. You will have so many tests and surprise exams. You are like a student who is learning something new every single day. It’s going to be a long journey. But as long as you embrace your part as a student, you will always learn the lessons that the Teacher wants you to…

Listen to the Voice of God and you will Grow
God knows you from the inside out. That’s why you need to consult and listen to Him. Sometimes, when we are too caught up with our problems and pain, we tend to follow our own understanding, thinking that what we have in mind is the right thing. We find solutions and make decisions according to our own judgment, not thinking that God is always sovereign. We treat ourselves as god and stop listening to Him. This is the reason why we experience so many consequences of our bad decisions. We chose our own way instead of acknowledging the instructions of God. Because of this, our ego became a hindrance to…
