Choosing Peace

 



Hello Friend!

Read: Matthew 11:28

There is goodnews for you today, guess what it is? Read on to find out!

Do you ever feel like life is unfair to you?
you ever feel like you are all alone?
Dealing with your troubles all by yourself
Because no one truly understands

Sometimes, it really feels like no one understands
Because they don't seem to know about the battles you are fighting 
They keep you to talk about your problems, 
But the last person you told still made it look like you are making a big deal out of nothing

Yes, sometimes people don't get how hard it hits you
Days you are fighting to stay sane, but you just have to show up smiling and jiggy
Out there, many are only interested in things that amuse them
How boring it will be to tell a story of your burdens 

Days you are back home and you are lost in thoughts 
The swiftness of the calendar makes you doubt dates 
But each passing day definitely counts 
And here you are, not knowing what you want 
Maybe you know, but you are not sure 

Not sure if you are making the right decisions 
Not sure if you are pursuing the right things 
Not sure if you have the right people around you 
Not sure who wishes you well

People strive to conform to what is expected
Like everyone is lost in a cloud of a fantasized idea
But who are you to tell them you feel different?
Sometimes, you feel misjudged
There are many people around you, but no one is listening

There are many people speaking, but you can’t hear a thing 
But what if you stay still for once and listen 
What if you stay still and pay attention to the still small voice saying:
 "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."

What type of Christian are you?

Sister Rose was stopped at the gate of heaven, and confusion filled her face. “What is going on here?” she asked. “My name is Sister Rose Agatha, the General Choir Director of the Association of Christian Choristers in my country. What do you mean I’m not qualified to enter?” The angel looked at her calmly. “I’m sorry, ma, but the gate has been shut against you. Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). She felt offended. “Sir, with all due respect, you must be mistaking me for someone else. I served God all the years of my life on earth. Do you know how many choir groups I headed? How many crusades I was invited to? I was very popular.” “The Kingdom of God is not about popularity,” the angel replied. “What quality of service did you render to God? Was it for His glory or to please men? Remember, ‘For we must all stand before Christ to be judged… each of us will receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body’” (2 Corinthians 5:10). ...

Giving Thanks in Everything

Sometimes life feels like it’s falling apart — plans fail, losses come unexpectedly, and hope seems distant. Think of a time when things weren’t going the way you wanted; with all the emotions rushing through your mind, gratitude was probably the last thing you wanted to express. Yet, this is exactly where true thanksgiving begins — not when life is perfect, but when we trust that God is still good, even when things don’t seem that way. God’s Word encourages us to give thanks in all circumstances because He cares deeply for us, and His thoughts toward us are always good (Jeremiah 29:11). Even when things seem unclear, His plans are still for our peace and not for our destruction. Sometimes, we need to pause and look back at our lives to see the countless blessings we’ve overlooked. The psalmist reminds us to remember the deeds of the Lord and meditate on His works (Psalm 77:11–12). As we walk through tough seasons, it’s important to shift our focus away from negativity and toward the...

When obedience seems hard

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were in Abraham’s position? God asked him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac — the son he had waited for all his life. Imagine the thoughts that must have run through his mind as he walked toward that mountain, carrying wood and fire but no explanation. Yet, Abraham obeyed. He trusted that even in this impossible command, God had a purpose. His faith reminds us that true obedience sometimes means surrendering what we value most. Sometimes, God asks us to let go of something dear — a dream, a relationship, or even a habit — and our first instinct is to resist. We grumble, argue, or try to reason it out because obedience can feel costly. But obedience, even when hard, is proof of our trust in God. Jesus Himself obeyed the Father even unto death (Philippians 2:8), and that obedience brought salvation to the whole world. The Bible makes it clear that disobedience leads to pain and loss. Saul lost his throne because he disobeyed God’s instr...
