You're Changed.

“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭

When you find a real relationship with God then you will change. The Bible says you will become a new creation. When we get baptized we are being cleansed of our sins, which is so beautiful. When I was baptized, I was young and the first thing I said was, "I feel like a new woman." That's how it feels when we grow in Christ, get baptized, and receive the Holy Spirit. We are changed on the inside. There is this song that they often sing at my church that says, "I may wear the same clothes, have the same name, but you're looking on the outside if you could see inside instead, you would see a brand new man." When people from your past see you they would think that you still fit in where you used to. It's an adjustment to realize when we change we often don't fit in with the same people. We are changed from the inside. Today, when you look in the mirror and see the same person although you've gained a relationship with God remind yourself that you're changed on the inside. It's a sign of change when you don't fit in the places and crowds you are used to. That is a great thing. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation.” Galatians‬ ‭6:15‬ ‭ “In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.” Colossians‬ ‭3:11‬ ‭ “Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.”Colossians‬ ‭3:10‬ ‭ “You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world.” Colossians‬ ‭3:7‬ ‭

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...
