Choose Your Friends Wisely.

“Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.” Proverbs‬ ‭13:20‬ ‭

You will never get to where you want to be if you surround yourself with the same friends. Something that is a hard lesson to learn is that you cannot expect to do greater things and be greater when you're hanging out with negative people who don't uplift you. You cannot soar with eagles while flying with the chickens. When you want to go for greater things, you have to surround yourself with those who will uplift you and encourage you to do greater things and be greater. When choosing friends it isn't about who you've known the longest, it's about who has come around and shown you that they support you and your dreams. You can be friends with sinners and uplift others but when it comes to your circle keep it small with those who want the best for you, even Jesus had a small circle of 12 close friends and one betrayed Him. Not everyone wants what is best for you, sometimes people want what is best for them through you. Judas sold Jesus off for a small amount of money and later regretted it. Today, choose wisely who you surround yourself with. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.” Proverbs‬ ‭18:24‬ ‭ “A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.” Proverbs‬ ‭17:17‬ ‭ “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” Proverbs‬ ‭27:17‬ ‭ “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.” Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4:9‬ ‭

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...
