Happy Birthday, Jesus.

“The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!” Luke‬ ‭2:11‬ ‭

The way that we celebrate our birthday is the same way that we should do for Jesus.  We should be even more excited for His birthday than we are for our own birthday. The amazing thing is that as we have each birthday, we grow older but Jesus doesn't age. The same way He was yesterday and today He will be that way forever. His love and compassion never changed and never will. He is the same now and always. Celebrating the birth of Jesus is such a humbling thing to think of, and it's something we should celebrate every day not just on Christmas day. The day jesus was born there was joy like never before I imagined because the one true God came to the earth to save each of us. Due to Jesus dying for our sins, we can now look forward to not only spending a day that we celebrate Him once a year, but we can look forward to spending eternity with Him and worshipping Him forever. Today, remind yourself that the true meaning of today is celebrating the birth of Jesus and that we will someday get to spend eternity with Him worshipping Him forever, which is something to be more than joyous about. Here are some verses to reflect on today. ““Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”” Luke‬ ‭2:14‬ ‭ “They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger.” Luke‬ ‭2:16‬ ‭ “The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as the angel had told them.” Luke‬ ‭2:20‬ ‭ “He is a light to reveal God to the nations, and he is the glory of your people Israel!”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭2:32‬ ‭

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...
