Where To Begin.

“Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.”James‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭

Sometimes we slip off the right path with God, and finding our way back to that relationship with Him is hard. I often thought of writing this to help others with what I struggled to find. I found myself drifting from God and needing a way back but I didn't know where to start. When we want to grow a relationship with God we have to begin with a foundation, and the best foundation for the relationship is faith, and knowing His word. When you want to renew your faith to build your faith you need to remind yourself through His word of the amazing things He has done. Your relationship with God is only as close as you want it to be. We all have a choice to follow God or not, but that choice we choose to make comes with a price. If you choose to follow Him it is a free pass into eternity and your salvation, but if you choose not to you will pay that price for all of eternity. Putting off getting close to God only last for so long until you don't have a choice anymore, you have to choose now while you still have the chance to. God is only waiting for you. The Bible says that when you come close to God He will come close to you. Today, if you feel like God is a million miles away from you start the foundation of your relationship with Him by praying, reading the Word, and building your faith in God. Your relationship with God is only one step away and He hasn't forgotten you from the moment you were formed in your mother's womb. Where to begin the relationship is in His word learning about why you serve Him and the things He has done, I learned that following His life shows the example He set for us to live. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.” Psalms‬ ‭145:18‬ ‭ “So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭ “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭ “But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!” Revelation‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭

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...
