You're Called By God Not By Man

“God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful.” 1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭

How many times do we worry about other people's opinions of us rather than our own? See one of the best things about God is when He calls us He doesn't ask for anyone's approval or opinion on it, He calls who He wants and that's the end of it. We never have to worry about what anyone else says because God does not care what others have to say. The thing about it is when we get to Heaven's gates God is not going to ask what others thought of you, but He will ask you how you treated them. In today's world, we are taught to treat others the same way they are treating us, but the Bible does not say that. The Bible says, "Do to others as you would want them to do to you." Don't worry about pleasing them, what they have to say, if they're talking about you behind your back, or if they're really your friend. At the end of the day, all that matters is how you choose to treat them. Today, focus on God and what He has called you to do. Human approval is never needed, but being kind is important no matter if you are getting the same in return or not. You are called by God not by man, and that means nothing can stop the calling on your life! God will make a way no matter what for you! Treat others with grace and never measure the amount of grace you give by the way that they treat you. God will reward you for your faithfulness to His words. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭ “God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives.” 1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭ ““Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.” Matthew‬ ‭7:12‬ ‭ “The godly always give generous loans to others, and their children are a blessing.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:26‬ ‭

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...
