What God Wants Most.

"But the person who loves God is the one whom God recognizes." 1 Corinthians 8:3

When we love God fully that is when He recognizes us. We can't give God half of our hearts, or half of our attention and expect to be as close to God as we need to be. We have to give ourselves fully to God with faith and love for Him only. As I grew older I came to realize that if I expect to have a relationship with God then I have to give Him all of me the good, the bad, and the ugly, all of it! God doesn't get mad when we bring out the anxious, sad, depressed, or broken parts of us, actually, that is what He wants most. He wants us to bring those parts to Him so that He can heal them and make us new in Him. I use to be ashamed to give those parts of me to God out of fear that I would disappoint Him, but He opened my eyes and showed me that it's something He can use to transform me and to use me in His kingdom for His glory. Today give all of you to God, the parts you're ashamed of, the sad parts, the happy parts, and the best parts of you because what God wants most of all is all of us. Lay everything in God's hands and soon you will see God's hands in everything! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.”Ephesians‬ ‭3:17‬ ‭“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” Proverbs‬ ‭3:5‬ “Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’” Matthew‬ ‭22:37‬ ‭ “My child, if your heart is wise, my own heart will rejoice!”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭23:15‬ ‭

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...
