You Will Never Be Perfect.

“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬ ‭

So many times we expect perfection out of ourselves before anyone else can even expect perfection from us. We sometimes hurt ourselves by expecting something we just aren't able to do yet. We must remember that just because we expect ourselves to be perfect doesn't mean God expects that. God wants us to try our very best, and we should always do that. We shouldn't expect ourselves to never make mistakes because God doesn't even expect that from us, if He did then He wouldn't have sent His one and only Son to bring us true forgiveness. When you feel like you've failed God, you've run too far think of the story in the Bible where the son returns to his father, and the father was waiting with open arms for him. That is exactly how God sees us and waits for us. We are always able to return to God with any mistake we have made because His love will never fail us, He brought forgiveness to this world and is ready to give it to you! Today, go to God in prayer and tell God all about your mistakes and your sins and let Him show you forgiveness and love. The Bible tells us that "All will fall short of His glory." He is willing to forgive you but after that, you have to learn to forgive yourself for falling short. Since God has forgiven you the moment that you asked Him to, now forgive yourself and grow in Christ and watch Him help you turn into an even better version of yourself. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭ “But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭48‬ ‭ ““So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.” Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭20‬ ‭

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...
