Where Love Begins.

““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 

‭It's nice to have someone in our life romantically but every season in life is not to have someone with us in a relationship. Today being Valentine's day I know some of you are in the waiting for a relationship, it can be more than difficult for you to wait. When I was single and waiting I looked around at the people in my life in happy relationships and couldn't understand why I couldn't have what they do. I look back on that season of my life and realize that I learned so much. I grew a relationship with God in that time that would've been more difficult to do while in a relationship, although it is still possible to do so. When we find God we find unconditional love in the One who created us. When you're waiting on the right one focus on the best One, God loves you more than anyone else ever could imagine doing. If you are in a relationship and you feel loved then don't forget where love came from. Love came down over 2,000 years ago, to be born in a manger and die for your sins. Keep God in the middle of your relationship. Take time to go on dates that involve God, read a devotion together, send each other uplifting Bible verses, go to church together, listen to worship music, and pray together. Your relationship will grow tremendously if only you will put God in the middle of you two. When both of you put God in the middle you then will grow individually and together. God created us to not be alone, but He also created us to love Him and trust Him more than anyone else in this world. Today whatever your relationship status may be earthly, make sure your eternal status is what you're focused on the very most. Your life is all for His glory and make sure your relationships show that. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭ “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭ “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭4‬ ‭ “But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” 1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭

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...
