Forgivness Not Perfection.

“They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!”” John‬ ‭8:7‬ ‭

God chose you the same way He chose each person in the Bible. You can look throughout the Bible and notice that no one except for Jesus was perfect. He did not choose you to be perfect, He chose you to be able to forgive you when you're not perfect. There was not a single person that was perfect from the beginning of time. Even Adam and Eve the first humans failed God and fell into sin. You cannot expect yourself to be perfect knowing that God doesn't think you are and does not expect you to be. In the Bible, there is a story of Jesus, and He was in a crowd of people who wanted to stone a woman for being in the act of adultery. Jesus was perfect, He had never sinned. He then told the crowd that if any of them had never sinned to throw the first stone. No one in all of the crowd could do so knowing they themselves had sinned. Jesus was perfect but still chose forgiveness. No one is perfect and flawless on this earth. Jesus was and forever will be the only one. Today, remind yourself that perfection is not what you are working for, it is forgiveness within yourself and from God. When you set your mind to changing for God, and to become a Godly person that is the most God can ask for. Turn from sin and never look back, unless it is at the forgiveness God has shown you. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “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 ‭ “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 1 John‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭ “He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.” Psalms‬ ‭103:12‬ ‭ “Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!”Psalms‬ ‭32:1‬ ‭

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...
