God can change your perspective towards joy
A joyful life is what we all long and dream of. We want it to be lasting. It is one of our greatest desires. How one defines joy can be influenced by the environment, such as people on social media who flauntingly express happiness attached to material things like money or other earthly pleasures. Sometimes, we could feel the pressure to get what we want because of the standards around us. We get so pressured about feeling happy and joyous since that is what many people have been whispering to us. However, others haven’t noticed that joy comes to one’s life in different ways and forms. It is based on…

Comfort Others Even If You Are Also in Need of It
Please do not stop caring and showing your affection to others who need it. When life throws stones at you, it doesn’t mean that you will throw them back to others. Instead, do what is right and what is good. Remember how God saved you from your own battles, and know that there are people who are still in that kind of war within themselves. It is hard for a person to escape from the type of pain and hurt that becomes part of their comfort. That is why they cannot avoid hurting others as well. So when you meet them, try to be more patient and understand them. God…

Faith that is beyond Knowledge and Understanding
The ways of God are always hard to fathom. That’s why having faith in Him means trusting in His goodness even if you can’t fully understand what’s going on. It’s not easy to believe in something that you can’t see. You need to surrender your own thoughts and understanding so that you can give God the chance to perform miracles. You can’t experience more of Him if you keep on holding on to the things you already know. Sometimes, all you need to do is believe in His promises, even if your situation doesn’t make sense. Faith exists when you keep your hopes up even if you can’t see what’s…

You’ll never know what other People Truly Feel
Nobody really knows what you truly feel inside except God. And the same goes for the people around you, even if you think you know what they are going through, but you are not wearing their shoes. You never experienced the exact pain that they are trying to deal with because you didn’t see everything that’s going on in their lives. This is the reason why you shouldn’t judge other people. Instead of telling them to immediately get up and move on, try your best to listen to them first. Be patient because we also have different ways of dealing with our pain. Some can easily recover, but others need…

You can never find a Heart that is the Same as Yours
People can never give back the same love that you give to them. We express ourselves in different ways. We all have unique love languages, so never expect someone to have the same heart as yours. Instead of putting such high standards on others, choose to be patient with them. Look unto God because He alone can give you the kind of love that will satisfy your heart. When you share love with others, please do not expect something in return. Sometimes, when we are broken inside, we tend to treat other people as healers. We want them to make our lives complete and never hurt us at all. But…

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…

What If God’s purpose is different from your Desires?
We all have plans in our lives. We wanted to experience the things that we thought we wanted, but only God knows what we truly need at the end of the day. What if His purpose is very different from your desires in life? Will you still walk and abide by His instructions? Will you still follow Him even if you don’t understand what’s happening? Most of the time, God’s ways are mysterious. There are really moments when you can’t fully comprehend what He is doing in your life. But all you need to do is to trust in His great love for you. His purpose is for your own…
