Through The Looking Glass.

“There is a wide-open door for a great work here, although many oppose me.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭16:9‬ ‭

I was praying about what I should write tonight and God reminded me of something that happened today. This is something that is going to seem like it doesn't make sense but just bear with me. This morning early it was thundering, we have a fenced-in yard and our dog was out, it is terrified of storms it started jumping on my window from our porch it woke me up thinking that it had jumped through the window, but it hadn't so my husband let it in. God showed me this moment in my head and said, "How many times do we jump through a window instead of waiting for God to open the door." Think about that for a second. We are so quick to become impatient waiting on God to open the door that we make a way for ourselves and it isn't where we are meant to be. If you've been praying for that door to open no matter what it is don't jump through the window the Lord is coming to open the door. He heard your prayers, He heard your brokenness, desperation, and hurt He knows you're tired but don't grow weary just yet. Hold on because God is on the way the door is going to open up for you and it will be so much better than you could have even imagined. Today, I encourage you don't jump into a relationship, jump into a job, or jump to buy a house or car because just because it seems comfortable doesn't mean that's what God has for you. The door isn't the same scenery as where the window is remember that.  Don't grow tired just yet, He hasn't and never will forget you. Here are some verses to reflect on today. ““I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me.” Revelation‬ ‭3:8‬ ‭ ““Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew‬ ‭7:7‬ ‭ “For you are God, O Lord. And you have promised these good things to your servant.” 1 Chronicles‬ ‭17:26‬ ‭ “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians‬ ‭2:10‬ ‭

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...
