Treat People As Jesus Would.

"You won't spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desiring, but you will be anxious to do the will of God." 1 Peter 4:2 

When we are transformed into righteous people, we desire to do what is good. I'm not just talking about keeping our lives from sin, I'm also talking about being kind where it is difficult, being a good person to srangers, being forgiving when you don't want to be, being the kind of person that welcomes someone in just because you see others mistreating them. You're not meant to only live a life where you do the right things, you also have to be kind to others. You're meant to set an example of how Jesus treats people. If you constantly walk around with a frown on your face, looking down at others, think of how that makes people think of all christians. What if you're the only christian they really know and they see you treating people like that? They wouldn't want to be apart of that, who would honestly. Set an example of the love of Jesus, be the friend to the broke, be the help to the homeless, be kind to the rude, smile at those who look down on you, you're not here to punish you're here to be the example. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you." John 13:15 "And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching." Titus 2:7 "My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protection." Psalms 71:7 "God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work." 2 Timothy 3:17

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...
