Who's Right For Your Life.

“Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.” Proverbs‬ ‭13‬:‭20‬ ‭

When you choose to surround yourself with someone you have to look at their morals, values, and character. I'm sure you know the saying that we have all heard, "Jesus even ate with sinners himself", but we also have to remember that He only had 12 close friends that walked with Him everywhere. Just because He did eat with sinners doesn't mean that He chose to surround Himself with them daily. When you begin to be around someone a lot you start to become like them, the way they act and talk will soon become a part of who you are too. The Bible tells us this to show us that it is important to choose people that are of good character and good morals to surround ourselves with. You cannot expect to be around the foolish and not be considered foolish. You need to be careful of those you surround yourselves with because it is very important. You can eat with sinners but not choose to always surround yourselves with them. Sometimes you do have to love others from a distance and be kind to them when you see them. Not everyone you meet is meant to be in your life as a friend or relationship sometimes they're only meant to be an acquaintance and that's what you have to leave it at. Today, I encourage you to pray and ask God to remove those that aren't meant to be in your life but don't be surprised when He does. It takes a lot of faith and acceptance to pray this prayer with true intentions knowing that God could remove someone not meant for you, but knowing it is for the best in the end. When someone is meant to be in your life God will show you. Trust God to send you and show you those who are right for your life and have pure intentions for you. Pray and let go, God will send you the best people for your life that align with your future. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Don’t answer the foolish arguments of fools, or you will become as foolish as they are.” Proverbs‬ ‭26‬:‭4‬ ‭ “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John‬ ‭15‬:‭13‬ ‭ “The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends.”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭30‬ ‭ “There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.”Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭24‬ ‭

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...
