Jesus Felt Everything That We Feel.

““Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”” Luke‬ ‭22:42‬ ‭

Being human means we all are going to feel emotions, that is just a part of life, what we have to remember though is Jesus understands our emotions. If you think that Jesus didn't have emotions, you're wrong. When Jesus was on the Mount of Olives He said, "Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine."  He had fear of what was to come, but He also knew that what was going to happen next was to save all people now and to come. Whatever you're facing, pray the same prayer that Jesus did, and He will most definitely make a way through it. Your emotions are important to Him because if anyone understands them He does. He felt sadness, the shortest verse in the Bible is, "Jesus wept." This means He also cried, had fear, had worries, He was tested by the enemy in all ways that we cannot even imagine, He faced sin and temptations although He never fell for it and He felt pain beyond compare as He hung on that cross to save all of us from the sin that we use to be bound to. Whatever emotions you are dealing with take them to the foot of the cross, He will help you through them. You are priceless because the most priceless person of all paid a debt none of us could afford and He died for you to live freely. You are meant to be here for a purpose even if you don't know what that is quite yet. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Then Jesus wept.” John‬ ‭11:35‬ ‭ “Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil.” Matthew‬ ‭4:1‬ ‭ “This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.” Hebrews‬ ‭4:15‬ ‭ “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.”‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭

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...
