The Fear Of The Lord Is The Beginning Of Wisdom
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10, NIV This verse doesn’t discuss the kind of fear that will kill our souls, but it refers to our sense of awe and reverence for God.

This kind of fear is the beginning of wisdom. When we treat God as powerful and mighty, we will have faith to believe in His ways. And when we believe that He is in the…

Putting Jesus at the Center of your Life isn’t just about Worshipping Him
Humans have the tendency to rely on their own strength and knowledge. And because we live in a modern world where we can easily get the things that we want, we tend to have this impatient attitude that somehow keeps us from experiencing the will of God.

Our strengths are limited. We are not perfect. This is the reason why we need Jesus in our lives. We must put Him at the center so that we will…

There will be days when I just wanted to quit and do my own…

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…

You are created and molded with beauty and purpose in this world. God designed you as a person made of His love and grace. He made you out of His image and has blessed you countless times.

That is because the standards of this world are only made for those who worship it. But you are different. Your flaws and weaknesses are built with you. It is not to reveal your vulnerable side but it’s His way of…
