Where You Belong.

“Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them.” John‬ ‭14:23‬ ‭

Have you ever heard the saying that someone or something feels like home? That is exactly how God makes us feel. See the feeling of home is often considered as peace, joy, and fulfillment. That is all the things we feel when we are close to God plus some more good feelings. At times we do leave God to follow our own selfish desires but God isn't the kind of God that pushes us away, instead, He is the God that always comforts us. God is the God of second chances, forgiveness, and compassion. God can get angry but the Bible says His anger only lasts a moment, but His joy lasts a lifetime. If you've been searching for the feeling of "home", try getting closer to God and putting effort into your relationship with Him. That is where your life will begin to feel fully put together. It's like when we do something that we thought we couldn't and feel even more accomplished by the fact we have done it, we feel fully accomplished and prepared for all of life's promises and trials once we find a truly meaningful relationship with God because He fills us up with all the things we need. We no longer have to find ways to fulfill the desires of our hearts. Today, if you're searching for that feeling of home search for God because the lasting feeling of that comes from God. He is the Prince of Peace, and He will give you all things that you need. Home is where you feel as though you truly belong, and that is found in God. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.” Psalms‬ ‭30:5‬ “In a burst of anger I turned my face away for a little while. But with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,” says the Lord, your Redeemer.”Isaiah‬ ‭54:8‬ ‭“For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.” Hebrews‬ ‭13:14‬ ‭ “May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭

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...
