The Good, Bad, And Ugly.

“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”Matthew‬ ‭11:28‬ ‭

Sometimes it's easier to come to God with the good things instead of the bad things. We feel like if we show God all the good things we have done then we can hide the bad things from Him. This is something that even Adam and Eve struggled with, they thought that they could hide what they had done from God. See we as humans tend to think that the things we have done are unforgivable, but that is far from true. God sent Jesus so that we could easily be forgiven from sin. The best thing we can do with any mistake, burden, or temptation is to lay it at the feet of Jesus. He died for us to be able to come to Him. I used to deal with depression and insecurities and I found that when I laid it at the feet of the altar I found peace. I realized that whatever I was going through God could heal immediately. Today, don't be scared to take the good and the bad to God in prayer. No matter what it is you're feeling or going through just know that God cares and will help you. The Bible says, "Come to me all who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest." Take the baggage that is not yours to carry to God, He can handle it and carry it for you. Rest is something needed and it's refreshing to know that God will always be there to catch you. Bring the good, bad, and ugly parts of you to God, He will take the burden for you! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “You will remember your sins and cover your mouth in silent shame when I forgive you of all that you have done. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”” Ezekiel‬ ‭16:63‬ ‭ “When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees.” Genesis‬ ‭3:8‬ ‭ “So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.” 1 Peter‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭ “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” 1 Peter‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭

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...
