All Is Forgiveness.

““I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.”” Luke‬ ‭7:47‬ ‭

This verse shows that even when God knows our many sins, He can still forgive them. Most of the time, we feel like we have to come to God with the small things, but the big stuff will scare Him, that is far from true. God already knows every sin we have ever done, and yet He loves us anyway. We don't have to pack lightly to come to God, we can bring all the baggage to Him and He will still say we are forgiven, loved, and chosen by Him. There is nothing you have done that you should feel ashamed to tell God about because God knows and sees all He has already seen and knows what you have done, He just wants your honesty. Today, whatever the things you have done that you're ashamed of and the baggage of sin you have been carrying know that you can bring it all to God and He will treat you the way He did this woman in the Bible. He will forgive you. The thing about God is He cannot forgive you for a sin that you're either holding on to or haven't asked forgiveness for. You are forgiven by God when you ask, and that is the moment you have to forgive yourself. Don't carry baggage that you've already given to God. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.”Romans‬ ‭8:2‬ ‭ “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” Romans‬ ‭3:23‬ ‭ “Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.” Colossians‬ ‭3:13‬ ‭ “So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.”Romans‬ ‭8:1‬ ‭ “And Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”” Luke‬ ‭7:50‬ ‭

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...
