You Are Royalty.

“But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Peter‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭

We all have heard the stories of Kings and Queens and the amazing lives they lived. They were royalty. Now as a girl growing up, we each dreamed of becoming a Princess and finding our Prince. We often forget that earthly treasures are worth absolutely nothing in eternity. To be royalty on earth means nothing, but to be royalty to our Father in Heaven, is everything. We have to remind ourselves that our earthly possessions mean nothing because the real things we should store up are those in Heaven. A relationship with God makes us royalty. You might not have all the things you want while here on the earth, but you have the most valuable thing when you choose to be a Christian, that being a true relationship with God. Today, keep in mind that royalty is not something that adds up to wealth on earth, but rather wealth in more important ways. That being peace that passes all of your understanding, a joy like you've never known, a hope that surpasses all of your doubts, and most of all a love that you might never comprehend from the One who created you. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “The Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see— a splendid crown in the hand of God.” Isaiah‬ ‭62:3‬ ‭ “Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.” Matthew‬ ‭6:20‬ ‭ ““Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.”Matthew‬ ‭6:19‬ ‭ “Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” Luke‬ ‭12:34‬ ‭

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...
