Keeling At The Cross.

““For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭

I know we all have different pictures in our minds of the cross and when Jesus was raised from the dead, we all picture it differently and think of different thinks in our minds because that is how we were created to be. I heard a christian song the other day, it said, "Lead me to the cross where His love poured out." It brought me to tears, as I thought about how He didn't only die for our sins and to the flesh, He also died for us because He truly loves us. Imaging someone loving you so much to pay off all your debt in life, pay off your cars, phone bills, light bills, and any bills you have not for a month, but for eternity. That is what Jesus done, but He paid off something much deeper than our earthly bills, He paid off our sins and death. We might die to the flesh but we have hope knowing that we will live again someday in Heaven with Him. He loves us more than our earthly selves can comprehend. He loves us enough to forget the bad things we have done and to never speak of them again. We as people search for love here on earth, we want relationships and people around us, but the one who loves us the most we tend to push away. When life is tough we say, "God why?" We don't realized how much God saves us from that we have no idea about. Today take every trouble, heartache, pain, and circumstance that is bothering you and kneel at the cross with it. Take it to the cross where His love poured out for us. He saved you from sin and death, I promise He can save you from anything you're going through here on earth. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians‬ ‭2:20‬ ‭ “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.”Romans‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭ “He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ ‭“The Lord will be our Mighty One. He will be like a wide river of protection that no enemy can cross, that no enemy ship can sail upon.” Isaiah‬ ‭33:21‬ ‭

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...
