Everything is going well
When we confidently say that everything is fine with us, it usually means that we have everything we want and that our plans are coming true. But does God have the same definition of well-being?
Don't trust what you see
When it is hot, our eyes perceive puddles on the roads. However, advancing on the road, we realize that nothing is wet. It was just a mirage. Our reasoning can be in error and in all areas of our lives!
The bad reasons for wanting to get married
Anything we try to build on a bad foundation can only collapse with time and hardships. That is also the case for marriage. So it is better to think about our motivations for getting married before making a commitment before God.
Worry paralyzes
This challenge we face takes over our thoughts. So much so that it can prevent us from sleeping or finding appropriate solutions. Worry suffocates us: we have to get rid of it!
Beware: everyone is watching you!
We are adults, we have the right to do whatever we want, and we don’t want anyone to judge us. Unfortunately, that popular attitude is not one that a child of God should have, for at least two reasons.
Learn to separate facts and emotions
When we have to make a decision or analyze a situation, it is better to use facts than our emotions. This advice is practical for all areas of life, including our love life.
When resisting is too difficult...
We are often put to the test in our Christian walk; We must resist all sorts of temptations. However, sometimes resisting is too hard. Then we have to turn to Plan B.
Refresh the hearts of others
A glass of cold water on a hot day is a relief! A small, simple service that can make a big difference. That is what our Heavenly Father encourages us to do toward each other.
Open my eyes, Lord!
“Open the eyes of my heart…”, says the popular song by Paul Baloche. And we sing it at the top of our lungs. But do we make it a prayer? We can be so distracted by the mundane that we forget about eternity.
Breaking the cycle of retaliation
Sometimes we feel compelled to respond to an offense against us by inflicting the same offense on the person who gave it to us. We want to “make them pay”. This form of resentment only sows poison in our relationships.
