Recently, during my prayer time, I had to confess the unforgiveness I had in my heart toward others. I had to forgive again for something I had forgiven in the past. But somehow, the emotions were triggered, and I realized my heart towards these people was not filled with compassion but anger... Read more

Many of us, myself included, were never taught how to regulate our emotions. That’s why I love the Inside Out Movies. Pixar‘s creators take complex subjects like emotions, brain development, and mental health, making them easy to grasp and understand in Inside Out One and Two. While there is still so much for us to learn about the human brain, I think it’s safe to say that no matter what, your emotions will not go away anytime soon—even if you... Read more

Mother Teresa once said, “If we want to love, we must learn how to forgive.” Forgiveness and unfailing love are at the very core of God’s being. God’s love knows no bounds, and He has gone to great lengths to forgive us. Forgiveness is not easy, and the wounds of some offenses are deep and hard to let go of.

I am not here to convince you that miracles exist. If I try to convince you to believe in miracles, then that defeats the point. Miracles are built on the foundation of faith.

Today, I will not try to convince you. Instead, I will share my... Read more
