Love Freely.

“Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.” Romans‬ ‭12:10‬ ‭

You can spend twenty-four hours a day talking about Jesus, and that is great but when you love Jesus truly you will set the example of how His love really is. See it's easy to love those who are good to you and do good things for you, but what is more difficult to do is to love those who hurt you and betray you. If Jesus wasn't loving toward those who betray Him then He wouldn't love us. We betray Him by sinning and making the wrong choices. Next time that you talk to or see someone that is difficult to deal with or to love remind yourself that by God's grace and forgiveness, we are loved despite our choices, mistakes, and sins. Be kind to that person and love them unconditionally. To love unconditionally means to love without strings attached, loving someone doesn't mean you have to be their best friend, be someone you date, or even be someone in your daily life, but what it does mean is when you love others you are being kind to them no matter what. Today, love those who hurt you, betrayed you, and those who are difficult to love. Be kind to them no matter what. You are the example of God's love that He has for each of us, and God wants us to set that example even for those who aren't easy to love. Love others freely without any strings attached and be kind to everyone you see. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.” 1 John‬ ‭4:11‬ ‭ “Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:18‬ ‭ “Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude.” 1 Peter‬ ‭3:8‬ ‭ “You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart.” 1 Peter‬ ‭1:22‬ ‭

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...
