Facing Disappointments in People

-
In this life, we will all face disappointments. People, no matter how much they love us, can fail us. Promises can be broken, words can wound, and human strength can falter. That is because people are fallible. We are all imperfect beings in need of grace. But God is different. He is perfect, unchanging, and completely trustworthy. He is infallible — without error, without weakness, and without failure. His Word stands firm, His promises never return void, and His love endures forever. The psalmist reminds us of this truth: “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man” (Psalm 118:8). When we put our hope in people alone, we set ourselves up for disappointment. But when we anchor our faith in God, we find stability, peace, and assurance no matter what happens around us. People may walk away, but God never will. People may change, but God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So when others fail you, don’t let it harden your heart. Instead, let it drive you closer to the One who never fails. Keep your trust in the Lord, and you will never be shaken.

Biblical counseling is not just about advice or emotional support—it is Christ-centered, Scripture-based guidance that applies the truth of God's Word to the real struggles of life.

Not temporary fixes by placing Band-Aids on wounds but getting to the root from the inside out. Physical wounds heal from the inside out, and we need to get to the deep places in our souls for emotional healing and wellbeing. That is no easy process, but if you want true f...

Redeemed to Speak: Why Your Testimony Matters

-

One of the most powerful ways we can encourage others is by sharing our own testimony. Yet many believers hold back, often out of shame or fear of judgment. But God's Word tells us that shame has no place in the life of a redeemed child of God. “Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace, for you will not be humiliated.”  Isaiah 54:4 (NIV) When Jesus went to the Cross, He bore our shame. When we truly repent and put our faith in Him, we are made new—completely transformed by His grace. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”  2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”  Romans 8:1 (ESV) Our testimonies are not meant to be hidden. They are given to us to heal, to glorify God, and to encourage others—especially those walking through similar struggles. Our stories become relatable tools that God uses to bring hope, restorati...
