The Narrow Road.

“But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Matthew‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭

Sometimes we are willing to walk into sin thinking that it will fulfill our hearts, but if it breaks God's heart then how will it ever fulfill yours? You can choose your own path in life, and often times that seems like the easy way, but in reality, it will never lead you to where you are truly meant to be. If God's heart is broken seeing us walk into sin then how will it ever be the outcome that we think it will be. There are people who will never have good intentions towards us, but God is not one of those people. God is always looking out for you and what is best for you. If you think walking in sin is what will fulfill you in life you're mistaken. I asked God one time why people who are deeply in the world seem happy and content, and He answered me and said, "Because they have happiness earthly, but an eternity of misery to deal with." Think about that for a minute. Is finding true earthly happiness to fulfill you really worth your eternity? The Bible says that many follow the broad road, but few find the narrow road to eternity. Today, make sure that you're so focused on the narrow road that you can't be pulled off of it by those who have earthly happiness because the happiness you get from God will last an eternity. I can promise you that God is going to fill your heart in ways you didn't even imagine if only you chose the right path. Here are some verses to reflect on today. ““You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.” Matthew‬ ‭7:13‬ ‭ ““From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done.”” Isaiah‬ ‭43:13‬ ‭ “Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:2‬ ‭ “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” Romans‬ ‭3:23‬ ‭

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...
