Light To Others.

"No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house." Matthew 5:15

Why would we let the fire of God within us be hid, why wouldn't we show it to the world? If you're a true Christian and know Jesus to be your Lord and Savior why wouldn't you tell everyone you know about Him so they can experience the same grace that you have? We spend so much time bragging about our new clothes, new shoes, new houses, new cars and even new jobs but then we are ashamed to brag about God. Imagine getting to heavens gates and God saying, "You spent plenty of time bragging about cars, shoes, houses and clothes but name 5 times you bragged about me, the one who made it possible for you to have the money to buy those nice things." We need to spend more time bragging on God than on earthly treasures. Your earthly belongings are blessings from God, yes you may have worked hard for them but God gave you the opportunities to succeed. We shouldn't hide our light from others out of fear, we should let them shine for the world to see. Make sure you're doing deeds for God alone and then others will see Him through you. We are here to be vessels for Christ, don't let the enemy make you shy away from that. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it." John 1:5 "You are the light of the world— like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden." Matthew 5:14 "In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your Heavenly Father." Matthew 5:16 "For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!" Ephesians 5:8

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...
