Take The Baggage To The Cross.

“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28‬ ‭

We all have burdens we carry around with us every day. We are more than able to overcome the obstacles that life throws at each of us if we trust God to be the one that we lean for it. See we all walk around daily carrying baggage that some of the use tell no one about, things that bother us, and things that we struggle with. It's not a problem to have baggage, we all do, but it's a weight that we don't have to carry. God is more than willing to carry it, the Bible tells us, "Come to me all who are heavy burden and I will give you rest." If you look up the definition of rest it means, "cease work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself, or recover strength." Meaning God will take the burden off of us so we can recover the strength that we lost. If your burden is heavy lay it at the cross. He will take that baggage that you've carried around for far too long, and bring you back to strength. You're going to get through this troubling time, but you have to lean on God for help. Let the baggage go, it's not yours to carry anymore. You're free from the burden.  Here are some verses to reflect on today. “For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”” Matthew‬ ‭11:30‬ ‭ “Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.” Psalms‬ ‭55:22‬ ‭ “Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.” Galatians‬ ‭6:2‬ ‭ ““You’re going to wear yourself out—and the people, too. This job is too heavy a burden for you to handle all by yourself.” Exodus‬ ‭18:18‬ ‭

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...
