Jesus is literally PRICELESS!

“For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬ ‭

Money is obviously a necessity in our lives today for food, bills, and other needs, but we should not let it control us. If we think money is what makes us who we are then we are wrong. Money does not define a person. Whether a person is rich or poor does not change their relationship with God or how they treat people. If they chose to let money control them it can change them. I’m sure we all have been through times when we struggled but we did not let money control who we were as a person. Money is something that wants control over us instead of us controlling it. The enemy uses money so many times to bribe us. I use to think that all famous people were perfect. As I have gotten older I’ve realized some of them were changed by the money that they would make and would turn into not-so-godly people. It’s not very hard to look around and see the evil of people today in this world. Most people think money makes them cool, and it is nice to have things that we truly want but that doesn’t mean that we need those things. Today keep your mind on Jesus remembering that is what truly matters. Nothing in this world can buy you happiness or fill the void in your heart like Jesus can. He died on the cross to save you from the sins you had not even committed yet. He is the definition of love and selflessness. He is worth more than any amount of money that could even think of having. Jesus loves you, let Him be the focus of your life, not earthly things! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!”Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5‬:‭10‬ ‭ ““No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.” Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭24‬ ‭ “They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb.” Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭10‬ ‭ “Others were given in exchange for you. I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you.” Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭4‬ ‭

Don't let money rule your life & get you away from seeing God. Being too caught up in thinking you have to have money & you work all the time to get it. Your relationship with God will fall because it takes you away from having time with him.

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...
