Word of the Day: 3 essential things in a Christian's life

There are 3 essential things that we all need: faith, love, and humility. Faith gives us the assurance of salvation and brings us closer to God. Love makes us live according to God's will, loving Him and others. Humility teaches us to be less selfish and to give glory to whom it's due: Jesus.

Having faith in God is the first step to draw near to Him, and this faith guides us to seek to live according to His will at all times.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Hebrews 11:6

When God's love touches our hearts, our entire being is transformed. His love fills us and helps us to live following His great example of love and giving importance to what He considers important.

"“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

John 15:9-10

Humility can be a great challenge in the society we live in. However, humility is not optional: it is a distinctive mark of those who want to live in obedience to God, imitating Jesus Christ's attitude. By being humble, we show that Jesus is the King of our hearts.

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death -
even death on a cross!

Philippians 2:5-8

Do not forget your spiritual needs, every day, put on the Armor of God!

If your heart is wounded and hurt, there is only one solution that will truly work.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

- Psalm 147:3

Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;
save me and I will be saved,
for you are the one I praise.

Jeremiah 17:14

When you cry out to God with all your heart, He hears you. God always answers the prayers of His children, whether by giving peace to the heart, granting patience to wait for His response, or providing instant healing. He always does something; we just have to trust and wait. In due time, you will see His movement in your life, and your faith will be strengthened.

1I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.

Psalm 40:1-2

Whatever pain you are suffering now or the wounds in your heart, bring it all before the Lord with faith and confidence. Persevere in prayer and trust in God's love for you. He will not only help you overcome it but also grow stronger in your journey with Him.

Word of the Day: Tired of praying? Don't give up, the answer will come!

Have you been praying for something for ages? Keep going, don't give up! The Bible warns us that when we do not receive what we are praying for it is sometimes because we do not know how to ask. Sometimes we only use prayer as our last resort, but in the Bible, we are told that we should never stop praying!

16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

A life built on continually praying would be an incredible life! But it is also a real challenge to us, because all too often our prayers run dry, and we get tired of asking, of going for years without seeing the door opening.

Do not give up praying. Jesus assures us that, although the timing might not be the timing we were expecting, prayers will be answered, doors will be opened, and we will receive the things that we ask for. Jesus wants you to know that if you seek with all your heart, you will receive, you will find.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
-- Matthew 7:7

The answer will come!
