Warn Those You Love.

"Don't think of them as enemies, but earn them as you would a brother or sister." 2 Thessalonians 3:15

How many times have we looked at those who live in sin or don't have the same belief that we do and we look at them as enemies rather than being a good person and telling them of Jesus and warning them about things that they can change? I know we are not perfect and we all make mistakes, so who are we to judge? We should think of it like this if we were the ones living in sin and not living as we should, wouldn't we want someone to warn us? Sharing the Good News of Jesus most defiantly can be scary because we fear people being offended, but Jesus didn't live in fear of offending those around Him, He shared the Good News with everyone He met. We should share with those around us knowing that the only way to heaven is through Jesus, and we want those we love to experience His grace and His love and to also experience eternal life just as we will as Christians. Jesus doesn't expect everyone to live a perfect life, but He does expect us to try and we live by His grace, not our own good deeds. If God didn't care if we sinned and lived the way that our flesh wanted to then He wouldn't have put the sins and the Ten Commandments in the Bible, He would have just left it out if it wasn't necessary. Today, try to tell someone the importance of living right, warn them of the things to come at the end of time, and warn them of how serious eternal life is. Take a step to help those you love to understand and find Jesus so that their lives can be changed just as Jesus has changed us who are saved by His grace. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “When the watchman sees the enemy coming, he sounds the alarm to warn the people.” Ezekiel‬ ‭33:3‬ ‭ “I am writing these things to warn you about those who want to lead you astray.” 1 John‬ ‭2:26‬ ‭ “I am not writing these things to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭4:14‬ ‭ “But if you warn righteous people not to sin and they listen to you and do not sin, they will live, and you will have saved yourself, too.””Ezekiel‬ ‭3:21‬ ‭

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...
