Show Love To Others.

"But the person who loves God is one whom God recognizes." 1 Corinthians 8:3

We have to have the love of God in order for him to recognize us. Loving God and having His love inside is are two different things completely. I believe this verse is meaning we must have His love in us. If we only love God we could be distant from Him, hate others, be unkind, and be everything we as Christians shouldn't be. If we have God's love in us, we want to live like him. We want to love people the way Jesus does, we want to help others like Christ, we want to convert sinners into saints. We want people to live a godly life with us, we want others to share in the heavenly home with us. God wants us to be kind and show others the good in being Christians, not the like the ones who judge others. If the first impression of us to a non-Christian is us judging them they're going to think that's all we care about. People always ask me when I invite them to church what they should wear, some say I don't have a dress, and my response never changes I always reply, "It doesn't matter what you wear as long as you come, we won't judge you." I've seen people walk into my church in sweatpants and a tee shirt, we didn't treat them any different than all the ones dressed up. That's how we should be everyday to people, it doesn't matter what they wear, how the look or act, we have to let God deal with that. If we let God handle the rest we will never go wrong. Love in all spaces of your life and you will never go wrong. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "Do not judge others, and you will not be judged." Matthew 7:1 "You judge me by human standards, but I do not judge anyone." John 8:15 "I will not judge those who hear me but do obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it." John 12:47 "God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:17 "Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven." Luke 6:37

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
