Jesus Wept Too.

“Then Jesus wept.” John‬ ‭11:35‬ ‭

Anytime you're sad or hurt, don't feel bad to cry. The shortest verse in the Bible is one of the most powerful, this verse shows us that only was Jesus human but that He felt emotions the same way that we do. It's okay to cry over things, it's okay to feel hurt, Jesus felt those emotions just as you are. This generation teaches us to hide how we feel, don't cry over things, and pretend it's all okay, but that isn't what Jesus did, so why would we? We should let ourselves cry to Jesus and feel those emotions. We are human, we have flesh and we have emotions. It’s okay to feel pain, but what you have to remember is that God never brings pain without purpose. What you’re going through isn’t for nothing. Look at Joseph being sold, sent to prison then he became second in command, look at Noah he was made fun of because he was building an ark with no rain, look at Sarah and Abraham she couldn’t bare children and God gave her a child after the years she was supposed to conceive, look at Moses he was trying to get God’s people freed and then was chased but God parted the Red Sea and he received the Ten Commandments and the Israelites eventually made it to the promised land, look at Esther she was afraid and had fear to upset the king but God spared her and her people, if you think of any of these story’s they all have a background of hurt, betrayal and fear. Where God guides He provides. It’s okay to hurt, and to cry but you have to remember what you’re going through is what you’re growing through. The enemy wants you to give up and give in, but God knows that you will someday tell someone what you’ve been though and it will be a survival guide for them to get though it. Keep going, your breakthrough is right around the corner, cry if you need to, but do not give up. You’re so close!! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Feel my pain and see my trouble. Forgive all my sins.” Psalms‬ ‭25:18‬ ‭ “I am suffering and in pain. Rescue me, O God, by your saving power.” Psalms‬ ‭69:29‬ ‭ “Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer.” Psalms‬ ‭130:2‬ ‭ “Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding.” Proverbs‬ ‭2:3‬ ‭

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...
