The process is not easy. Many times, you will…

John 19:7, NIV
The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.” John 19:7, NIV Jesus was accused as the son of God. Even if this is the truth, He was punished because of what He did. He suffered because the people around him couldn’t bear the truth that He was carrying. But despite the pain that He experienced, Jesus kept going. He never allowed the treatment of other people to stop Him from doing the will of the Father. He focused on what He needed to do not for the sake of protecting Himself but for…

John 18:22 , NIV
When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face. “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded. John 18:22, NIV The high priest slapped Jesus in the face because He boldly proclaimed the truth. Our savior was mocked and accused in front of the religious people who claimed to know God. Their reaction appears strong because they felt attacked by what Jesus said. But even if He knew how these high priests would react, He still chose to release the right words despite what they would feel. Sometimes, we go through challenges and pain because we choose to live in the truth.…

John 14:6 , NIV
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

You won’t Always see things in the Right Way
There are times when your perspective doesn’t align with the principles of God. The things that you experience will lead you to create opinions that will direct your decisions in life.

Just because you are in pain doesn’t mean you already have the right to believe in your own understanding. Yes, you need to acknowledge your emotions, but…

When we live this life just by following our own understanding and will, there’s a tendency that we will fail to overcome the uncontrollable circumstances that come our way. The knowledge that we gain from our experiences is not enough to conquer the battles that we will face in life. We don’t have the kind of wisdom that will save us from different problems. We badly need God. We need His plans and power. We need His love. And it takes humility to admit this truth. Sometimes, we choose to focus on what we know rather than consult Him about the best thing to do. We follow our understanding, not…
