Pray that God will give you the Courage to Accept the Lessons Behind your Pain

He just wants you to experience the fullness of what He prepared. And usually, it starts by refining your soul, then pruning the unfruitful branches in your life, and purifying your heart. The process is not easy. Many times, you will…

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. So instead of listening to your own voice, learn the habit of questioning your opinions. Try to ask questions to yourself that will lead you to discover the truth. Humbly admit that you don’t know everything. There are still things that you need to learn. So don’t immediately conclude about your situation. 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…

It takes Humility to Acknowledge that you can’t do it on your own
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…

Stand Firm to Where God Called You To Be
Where you are is a product of God’s grace in you. Life must have its explanation of where you are and how you are doing. Nothing happens for no reason; everything has one. Although the reasons are not always told, it has their unique and special stories. In life’s journey, you may have been through events that have challenged your faith countless times. People’s principles and philosophies may have affected your faith, their opinions and perspectives may have doubted yours. But remember, all of us are bound by differences and diversities. All of us stand for various reasons, and all of us also have different seasons in life. Remember, truths…

Your Thoughts Don’t always Speak about the Truth
You are not your thoughts. Not everything that enters your mind reflects your true identity. So learn the habit of evaluating your judgments before you make any conclusions. Listen first and ask God if what you are thinking is aligned with His principles. Do not rely on your own understanding. It’s better to consult Him first than do things that you will regret in the end. Learn to confirm your ideas according to what’s written in the bible. Fill your mind with God’s words so that you’ll always be aligned and guided. Beware! Your thoughts will eventually shape your decisions and your life. So be more conscious and careful. Keep…

The Process of Letting Go
It’s hard to let go. Sometimes, it doesn’t happen in an instant. It takes a process and a lot of patience. There will be moments when you still want to hold on and stop going through the painful journey, but you need to learn how to understand and love yourself. Know that you are not alone. If God asks you to surrender certain things or people in your life, then it means He will walk with you, and He will be there to help you. He won’t convince you to do it not unless He has something better in mind. Just trust Him. Accept the truth that letting go is…

We are called to serve others
Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” -Matthew 20: 25-28 Jesus came here on earth to show us what it means to serve. Yes, He is the Son of God, but still, He demonstrated to us how to truly love…

You can Find Peace even if you don’t Understand Everything
We somehow find it hard to live a peaceful life because we try to understand things that are beyond what we can comprehend. We wrestle with our minds and try to figure out what might happen next, but then, life is always uncertain. Unless you accept that fact, you will find it hard to rest because your mind won’t stop thinking about your future or the situation you are in. Please remember that you always have a choice. You can receive peace from God even if you don’t have any clue about what’s going on. You can rest in His presence and be assured in His promises. All you have…
