  Do you have that spirit of faith? Let faith rule in your lives. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him (Heb. 11:6). Having faith, especially to God, pleases Him. We can read a lot of stories in the Bible in which the characters had faith in the Lord. You can read them in Hebrews 11. You will be inspired by their testimonies when they put their faith. Although it is not really easy, but they persevered and trusted God to work on their lives. It made God happy 'coz he was pleased by the actions of His servant. We may learn from the lessons in the Bible to completely have faith in the Lord. It takes a lot of patience to have this. You will be complete in the Lord if you just have faith. What our faith rests on is the belief that God is in ultimate control and will indeed keep His promises—whether that happens in this life or the next. Our greatest comfort in sorrow i

  Do you fear in loving someone? Do you fear in failed relationships? We should not fear in love, 'coz perfect love casts out all fears. Since God is the author of love, we should not fear about it. We will be secured in the Author of Love's hands. Once you experience the unconditional love of the Lord, you will be complete. You lack nothing. It is because God's love is a full-blown package. You will experience great things in your life once you love the Lord. This is the perfect and real love. So, do not fear now. He is with You, He is embracing His complete love to you. Once you love the Lord with all your heart, loving others will be easy. Do not take for granted the love of the Lord. You will create a great impact if you are filled with His love.

  Dear Lord, I pause for a moment today and talk to You. As I pray, I feel your presence gazing on me with love and holding me in being. You are welcome in this place, Lord. I ask that You help me overcome my fears with Your love. You’ve given Your love to me so freely, and it’s wrong for me not to give it away. Help me not be so purpose-driven that I forget my real purpose to love and have a relationship with people. Let your grace shape me everyday. I speak out to you what I feel today like as one trusted friend to another. Listen to the cries of my heart, Lord. Amen

  Do you feel hopeless nowadays? Is there any situation right now that you perceive that there is already no hope for it? Well, my dear friends, there is still hope when you entrust it to the Lord. You will not be disappointed if you will put your hopes up in Jesus Christ. When there is life, there is still hope. When we're still breathing, there is still hope. These three things still remain: Faith, Hope and Love. As long as you have faith in the Lord, then hope will follow. It is still the miraculous power of God that will work in your uncertainties. Believe in the power of the Lord to make all things possible. Let God make the impossible things to possible things. For with God, nothing is impossible!

  Do you feel united in a group that you are in? If you cannot feel unity in your group, this is now the time. Make a difference and stand up. Let unity bind you and your group. Whether in your family, church, work, school or in your own organizations, unity must be there. Ask the Lord for strength. It is not easy to handle a group or being in a group with different personalities and characters. But, let your light shine on them. Be the salt and light that God wanted you to do. Be honest on what you feel, too. Being honest about what you feel allow everyone to help each other. But as members of God’s family, we have a responsibility to help each other grow in faith and character. God told us to “encourage one another,” to “build each other up” (1 Thess. 5:11), and to “be patient, bearing with one another in love” (Eph. 4:2). That is the essence of unity, being one in the Name of Jesus, binding in His love.

  Do you know that God has a perfect and special gift for us? Have you already received and unwrapped that gift? Be excited for that gift. It is the greatest gift that you will ever receive. His Son, Jesus, is God's perfect gift for us. He sent His only begotten Son to be with us in our daily lives. If we receive Jesus in our lives as our personal Lord and Savior, we will have eternal life and never really die. We will experience Heaven if we genuinely invite Him in our lives. Because of God's love, He gave the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ to us. Receive the perfect Gift from God and you and your household will be blessed. It is the most important and the greatest gift of all. Have faith in God!

  How to make the world a better place to live? It is by keeping your conduct honorable. By doing that, you are displaying God's love to the world. Doing good deeds will also bring honor and glory to the Lord. In short, we can make the world a better place with our actions. We must be careful in everything that we will do. As Christians, we are being portrayed as role models in this chaotic world. We are carrying the Name of Christ wherever we will go. Let us be the salt and light to the nations. Ask the Lord to mold you. Surrender to God all your heavy burdens and struggles. Let the Light shine on us. We cannot change the world in a snap, but we can let the difference Christ has made in us make a difference in the world around us, by God's grace. Everyone can do something to make the world better.

  Lord, you are always there waiting for me. May I never be too busy to find time to spend in your presence. A thick and shapeless tree-trunk would never believe that it could become a statue, admired as a miracle of sculpture, and would never submit itself to the chisel of the sculptor, who sees by his genius what he can make of it . I ask for the grace to let myself be shaped by my loving Creator. I ask how I am within myself today? Am I particularly tired, stressed, or off-form? If any of these characteristics apply, can I try to let go of the concerns that disturb me? Amen

  Be careful with whom you choose as your close friends. It is because bad company corrupts good character (1 Cor. 15:33b). Do your friends contribute to your growth. Does their life principles are in line with God's Word? Are they doing things that makes God happy? Having a friend with good character can also help you grow and develop your personality. Once you are communicating with them or enjoying their presence everyday, you will somehow also acquire their type of character like a contagious disease. Look closer on their personalities and principles if it can affect you positively or not. Or, if anything happens bad to you, will they be there at your side no matter what? So, choose your friends wisely. It can have a great impact in your life. Also, be that good friend to someone. Love them and pray for them. Speak blessings and encouraging words. It is indeed a great feeling that many people are loving you because of your great character and big heart. Be that person whom they

  I pause for a moment and reflect on God's life-giving presence in every part of my body, in everything around me, in the whole of my life. By God's grace I was born to live in freedom. Free to enjoy the pleasures He created for me. Dear Lord, grant that I may live as You intended, with complete confidence in Your Loving care. Where do I sense hope, encouragement, and growth areas in my life? By looking back over the last few months, I may be able to see which activities and occasions have produced rich fruit.  If I do notice such areas, I will determine to give those areas both time and space in the future.
