Some young girls get confused why their boyfriends don’t propose to them even after dating them for a year or two.
They complain, “I thought he was waiting for the Valentine’s Day but that day just passed; and I thought he would propose to me in the beginning of summer but that too passed. What should I need to do?”

My friend, if you think that your brain or your will or something else than God is the one that makes you a believer every morning, you didnât understand what the word of God is saying about your salvation, how you are indwelt by the Holy Spirit until Jesus Christ comes back.
No, seriously, this is my deep seated question: Why do we still hope that this world will somehow and someway satisfy our needs?
Is this part of “our fallenness?” It must be because I personally sometimes feel like I’ve matured enough not to think that way but I still catch myself thinking, “If I go to the mall and buy a beautiful suit or dress, I will come out of this blue feeling.” Or, “Let me go on YouTube so I can find something to watch and forget all about this life.” Continue reading No Better than Sieves→
