Forgiveness Isn't Earned, It's Given.

"Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to of what is good." Titus 3:14

We are going to make mistakes, we are going to sin, and most defiantly fall short of God's glory, but God already knew that, that is why He sent Jesus to die for our sins while we were still sinners. Before Jesus came into the world and made that great sacrifice they had to take the most perfect lamb, one with no spots, and use it as a sacrifice. That explains why Jesus never sinned although He faced temptation the same way we all do, He had to be the perfect lamb. We always feel like we can't go to God if we mess up, but that isn't how it is, God sent Jesus to let Him be the ultimate sacrifice where we could be forgiven easier. Jesus is our one-way ticket into heaven, we have to believe God raised Him from the dead, He lives again in heaven, and will come again someday. We don't have the time to waste, let Jesus wash away your sins and stop being too prideful to go to God and ask for forgiveness, make that change today. Forgiveness isn't something we earn, it's something Jesus made easy for us to be given. Ask for forgiveness, God is ready for you to be washed from the old and become new. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "Instead be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you." Ephesians 4:32 "If you forgive those who sin against you, your Heavenly Father will forgive you." Matthew 6:14 "Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior." Ephesians 4:31 "Shouldn't you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?" Matthew 18:33

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...
