Don't Follow The Crowd.

“There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.” Proverbs‬ ‭18:24‬ ‭

We spend so much time trying to find the place that we fit into, we try to find the friends to fit in with, the best co-workers to fit in with and the best crowd to fit in with. We need to remind ourselves that we aren't meant to fit into this world, we are meant to fit into the kingdom of God! Why you can't find where you fit into is because you've not looked in the right places yet, when you start to surround yourself with people who have the same views as you do in God that's when you'll fit in with other people. I spent so much of my life trying to fit in with the wrong crowd that I didn't try to fit into the right crowd. In high school, we try to be around the coolest kids and the most popular but being popular among people is irrelevant to being popular to God. Today, set your mind on trying to fit into the right crowd, those you are searching for God, those people will uplift you, encourage you, pray for you, and be kind to you. They are going to love you like Jesus and will be a friend that is closer than a brother. They are the people that you need in your life. Your time spent trying to fit in is a waste because when God sends you the people that are called to be in your life it will be like a missing puzzle piece in your life and theirs too. Focus on finding the right people and stop forcing pieces of the puzzle to fit where they're not meant to. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” Proverbs‬ ‭27:17‬ ‭ “If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.”Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4:10‬ ‭ “The godly give good advice to their friends; the wicked lead them astray.” Proverbs‬ ‭12:26‬ ‭ “This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.” John‬ ‭15:12‬ ‭

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...
