What Would Jesus Do?

"Work hard to enter the narrow door to God's Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail." Luke 13:24

We as Christians all inspire to live in heaven with Jesus, but what we have to remember that being righteous enough to get to heaven isn't easy. If it was easy to get into heaven it would be flooded with people. The Bible never will lead us astray from what is right, Jesus tells us himself that its hard to get into heaven. The verse we used today is a red letters verse meaning it's words from Jesus himself. When the time comes for each of our own eternity we will face God and His judgement. We will have to answer for all the things we done wrong, and all the things that we messed up on. When that day comes we can't go back, we can't undo what we done, we can't fix broken friendships, we're done. What we said, what we done, how we treated people, how we acted, the attitude we had, the way we chose to live our lives are all set in stone. It's over with at that point we have to hope we done all we could to live right. I'm by no means perfect or even close to it, but each day I do strive to grow closer to God, to grow my realtionship with him, to love others like He would. As a child when we would go to vacation bible school they would give us little bracelets or pieces of paper that said, "WWJD" standing for "What Would Jesus Do." It taught me and many others from a very young age that when we face times in our lives we have to ask ourselves, "What Would Jesus Do?" Next time you're faced with an impossible situation, and you feel the doubt sit in ask yourself "What Would Jesus Do?" Remember your ultimate goal is to live as much like Christ as possible. The closer we are to God, the closer we are to being like him. If we want to enter heaven we must become like Jesus. Next time someone really tests your patients, remember to love and forgive like Jesus would. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "When the master of the house has locked the door it will be too late. You will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Lord open the door for us!' But he will reply, 'I don't know you or where you came from.'" Luke 13:25 "And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father." Colossians 3:17 "When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, "Let the children come to m. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it." Mark 10:14-15 "And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him." Colossians 2:6

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...
