Why Betray The One Who Created You?

“you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back from wandering will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.” James‬ ‭5:20‬ ‭

Today is Tuesday of Holy Week, on this day Jesus announced that one of His twelve disciples was going to betray Him and one would deny Him three times. Imagine having twelve people go with you everywhere to spread the gospel, not only did the disciples do just that with Jesus they also watched Him perform miracles in front of them. Jesus knew at this point Judas would betray Him, He even called it out. Although Jesus never said to Judas He knew it was Him Jesus made it clear. If Jesus called out every time we were about to betray or disappoint Him imagine how embarrassing that would be. Have you ever thought of how He feels when we choose to betray Him? He spent so much time creating us and loves us enough to give us free will, He puts all of his time into listening to us, forgiving and helping us how could we not want to live for Him? The greatest thing about being a child of God is that He doesn't give up on us, no matter how far we run He will be there with open arms. Don't stay on the path of betraying God, turn from the sin, the brokenness, and the hardships, and let God transform you and your life into happiness, joy, hope, and healing. You have a life full of blessings if only you will live for God. Don't let the enemy tell you that you can't be forgiven, if that were true why would Jesus have given His life for you? You are worth more than rubies! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “But Judas Iscariot, the disciple who would soon betray him, said,” John‬ ‭12:4‬ ‭ “But Jesus said, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?””Luke‬ ‭22:48‬ ‭ “He replied, “One of you who has just eaten from this bowl with me will betray me.” Matthew‬ ‭26:23‬ ‭ “They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.” 2 Timothy‬ ‭3:4‬ ‭

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...
