I Was Blind, Now I See.

 "I don't know whether he is a sinner," the man replied. "But I know this: I was blind, and now I can see!" John 9:25 

As most of you have heard the song your entire life, "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, was blind but now I see." Written by E. O. Excell and John Newton, it's a beautiful song. I love where it says but now I can see. That's how it is in life, when we become a christian we see the world from a whole new view. We see God's blessings start to flow when we get in line with God's plans for us. We have to focus on God's plan for us instead of our own plans. When we get closer to God the closer we get to seeing the world the way he sees it. Before Christ we see the world in a view where sin is okay, a little white like here and there won't hurt right? Once we are close to Christ we see that the world needs more of God everyday, between all the sin, hate, racism, wars, and people just being hateful to everyone. We need God in the world, we need his love and his patiences each day to deal with things in our daily lives. When we feel far from God we see these things in a different view, we have to cling to God and see things as they really are. None of us are perfect and never will be, we never will be in a position where we never sins but we have to strive to be the best versions of ourselves, and best christians we can be. We have to love where it's tough to, we have to forgive even when it feels hard to, and we have to have faith in the most complicated situations. We cling to God in the good times and in the bad times. When we become like Christ we can see fully again. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "So ignore them. They are blind guides leading the blind, and if one blind person guides another, they will both fall into a ditch." Matthew 15:14 "Who was ninety-eight years old and blind." 1 Samuel 4:15 "Listen, you are deaf!' Look and see, you blind!" Isaiah 42:18 "I served as eye for the blind and feet for the lame." Job 29:15 "The blind and the lame came to him in the Temple, and he healed them." Matthew 21:14

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...
