You Still Have Time.

"God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work." 2 Timothy 3:17 

Today God spoke to me and said this is what someone needs to hear, "Just because you're walking to the finish line and others are running doesn't mean you won't get the same prize." We all want to accomplish great things in our lives, and sometimes we don't accomplish them on the timelines that we think are best, but that doesn't mean that we are behind. Maybe you see all your friends are getting boyfriends, getting married, having babies, or starting careers before you that doesn't mean that you are behind it just means you're letting things align in God's timing. You are getting to these accomplishments later and that's okay, it doesn't mean that the prize changes, you aren't in a race for this, you're just getting there when you get there. Life isn't about racing to see who can get married and have kids first, it's about going through life and trusting God to send the right people, and let the right things come into your life at just the right time. Relax, take your time. We spend so much of our lives rushing to the next chapter that we don't enjoy the chapter we are already in. Start being thankful for the chapter you're currently in, and taking all its beauty in. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith and your purity." 1 Timothy 4:12 "I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us." Philippians 3:14 "A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest." Ecclesiastes 3:2 "So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor." 1 Peter 5:6

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...
