We Need To Let Go Of Our Excuses
The lazy man will not plow because of winter; He will beg during harvest and have nothing. Proverbs 20: 4, NKJV There are just days in life when we feel so tired, especially when doing certain work. We just want to rest and feel at ease, and unknowingly, we waste so much time doing unproductive activities. There’s nothing wrong with finding rest and taking a break, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you should just wait for things to happen on their own. Somehow, we need to let go of our excuses. Lazy people would think of ways to avoid the hard stuff and just focus on things that would make…

Your Worries can never Lift you Up
If you want to survive, then look for things that will push you to keep going. Your worries can never do that for you. Things will remain complicated if you will keep on thinking about your unanswered prayers. You will never value the blessings around you if you focus on what you don’t have. Your worries can never solve your problems. In fact, they will just lead you to the dark path. And the sad thing is, what you are worrying about never really exists. They are just mere imaginations that seem to appear so real in your head. Choose to live in the present. Wake up and look at…

I will never Feel the Same Happiness if I wished for Things to be Different
There are days when I just can’t understand what’s going on in my life, and I can’t help but pray for things to be different. I would beg God to change my situation and help me. I would ask Him to put me in a place where I can find rest and peace. And the good thing is, most of the time, He won’t give me what I wanted. It’s great news because if He had listened to the cries of my heart, then I would never feel this kind of joy right now. Maybe if He changed my situation, I would never learn to value His blessings and cherish…
