It took me years to realize the huge difference between God choosing someone to do something and when that person chooses to do it on their own. Some achievements may look good and feel good, but if God was never part of them, they are accomplished in vain. Furthermore, I have also realized that a…

It is interesting how we can spend many years with ourselves and still don’t know who we are, and what we are truly capable of, both positively and negatively. Also, it is interesting that God refuses to manipulate us but patiently waits for us. He would let us plan and do our own thing until…

Slander is common nowadays. No one wants to be slandered, but no one is exempt from it. It is a heart-wrenching feeling to hear people bashing your name, especially when the slander comes from those whom you trust. I believe that no one can properly deal with this issue unless they get their help from…

I have always enjoyed listening to and singing the song that says “This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine…”; however, I didn’t know it was going to be so hard to let this light of mine shine. I mean, how hard can it be to let light shine? The older I…
