We shouldn't let the slightest crack as the devil will get a foothold, which when unchecked becomes a stronghold. We then become like Rev 2:4, we will abandon God, our first love :(. Thus we should give God our full attention so that we will desire Him only. We need to keep reading His word. Only then can we be hopelessly and consistently in love with Him

I.T.


Ensuring even when things didn't turn out the way we wanted them - in a way, it is discipline and a way of not quenching the HolySpirit. God may want us to let go of a certain area in our life. Although it may hurt us to let go, how we endure through it is what matters. We may be embittered and discouraged, just like what happens when I indulge in negative attitudes and my manners have become unchecked. Nothing beats getting things right with God because we can hold on to His promise that there is something else - far better than what we expect.

"Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. . . and after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. (1 Peter 5:8,10)
