WHAT DOES SACRIFICE MEAN IN A RELATIONSHIP?

Every relationship requires some sacrifices. Even, a garden full of flowers requires sacrifice to tend it. It takes sacrifice for a farmer to reap good harvest. What does it mean to be sacrificial? Being sacrificial is being selfless and loving, all out for someone and even inconveniencing yourself. So, in your relationship, you say am not the "this type of person, I am not the that type of yen yen" and you know it can make that relationship blossom, why not make sacrifices and do it. it is called sacrificial love Maybe the sacrifice you have to make is understanding and patience, taking in the other person's mental health into consideration.

THE YEAR HAS BEGAN.

This change didn't seem possible but just like the song writer said "my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. ..." .

Above all, make prayer and studying of the word of God a life styl...

WHAT SECRET SIN ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH

' Secret sin', a dilemma of many born-again Christians. It is secret in the eyes of men but God sees it all. One minute you are on fire for God and before you know it, you are back to ground zero. Just like 'a dog going back to its vomit' (read my post on this). Am talking  about the secret sin that you are secretly enjoying, the one that prinks you, fills you with so much guilt and your conscience won't let you rest. The one that makes us ask ourselves "how will I start praying to my God now that have done this ". Well,  He said we should come come boldly to the throne of grace asking for mercy.

Maybe it's draining our health, stealing your Joy and relationship with God, causing issues in your home, workplace, marriage or financially. The solutions to these 'secret sin' from a personal view are: - Ask for the help of the Holy Spirit. - F...
