Let God Send The Right Friends.

 "Of course, your former friends are suprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. They slander you." 1 Peter 4:4

Everyone goes through this at some point in their lives, I was younger when I gave my life to Christ, in the start of my teen years, at that time I did lose some friends. I wasn't interested in the things I use to have in common with them, I didn't have the attitude I did before that made me fit in so well, I didn't dress the same as them anymore, I even changed the way I talked, I no longer entertained the pointless conversations of gossip I use to be so invested in before Christ. That's how it is sometimes for us though we have to separate ourselves from the world. Sometimes God will isolate you to elevate you, just because you're going through a time where all your friends turned away doesn't mean you're not on the right path, it actually means the opposite, that you are on the right path. Let God clear your path, taking those friends who are leading you astray from Him out of your life and replace them with the people who are there to uplift, encourage, and help you. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "Don't be fooled by those who say such things, for "bad company corrupts good character." 1 Corinthians 15:33 "Don't befriend angry people or associate with hot-tempered people." Proverbs 22:24 "Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble." Proverbs 13:20 "Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy." Proverbs 27:6

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...
