“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” — John 16: 33. Life’s journey is filled with twists, turns, and unexpected challenges. However, these obstacles need not be permanent roadblocks. They can empower us to navigate the timeless terrains of opportunities and difficulties. In this article, we’ll explore how to overcome obstacles and find strength in adversity. 1. Change Your Perspective Obstacles are inevitable—both fair and unfair. What truly matters is not the nature of these obstacles, but how we perceive them. Our reaction determines whether we merely survive or thrive because of them. Remember that trials are not your life; they are seasons within your life. Focus on the present moment, ignoring what obstacles represent or why they happened. 2.

Unlike earthly relationships where independence is celebrated, our spiritual walk with our heavenly Father invites a different approach—one of perpetual reliance and trust.  Abiding in Divine Love The scripture from John 15:7–8 illuminates the essence of this divine relationship.

By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. – John 5:7–8. The Contrast with Earthly Expectations Our earthly fathers, with the best intentions, guide us towards self-reliance. Yet, in the kingdom of heaven, the paradigm shifts. We are encourag

Ruth's loyalty and unwavering faith continue to inspire people across time. Her resolute words "Wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God" (Ruth 1:16–17), hold a special place. Her story teaches us the importance of resilience, courage, and making bold choices. Ruth lost her husband and her homeland and faced a difficult decision. Her mother-in-law, Naomi, also widowed and grieving, advised Ruth and her sister-in-law, Orpah, to return to their families. But Ruth chose to stay with Naomi, declaring, "Where you go, I will go." Her decision was not based on logic or convenience but on love and trust. Their journey led them to Bethlehem, where Ruth was an outsider. However, her unwavering faith led her to step forward. God orchestrated extraordinary events in her life, from her gleaning in the fields to her encounter with Boaz, a kinsman-redeemer, who showed her kindness, protection, and pr
