He will carry your load

I heard a song this morning that spoke to my heart. Jesus is ready to carry your load. We all too often carry the weight of our problems around with us and don't give them up. Jesus stands ready and waiting to carry all of it for you. When He died on that cross, He overcame...He overcame all of our guilt, all of our shame and all of the baggage we tend to carry around with us. It could be that you are still carrying around something you did years ago that you cannot seem to forget. You may be carrying the guilt of a past relationship gone wrong or guilt of sin. Friend, when Jesus died for you, He took all of that on Him so that in Him we can be free. No, we cannot change the past, but Jesus can and will restore your life the day you believe in Him and make Him Lord and Savior of your life. Isaiah tells us that He will give you back the years the locusts have eaten. Those wasted years you spent living for yourself and your own pleasures, He will take. The work on the cross was a finished work...He took all the sin you have committed or ever will commit upon His shoulders and God promises that as far as the east is from the west, He will remove your sin from you and remember it no more. If God doesn't remember it anymore, you need not remember it either! "Instead of their shame My people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land." Isaiah 61:7 " I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in My God. FOR HE HAS CLOTHED ME WITH GARMENTS OF SALVATION AND ARRAYED ME WITH A ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS." Isaiah 61:10 When you choose a life in Christ, God Himself clothes you in righteousness. He now looks at you through the blood of Christ and washes you white as snow! He will also take great delight in you and rejoice over you. Isaiah 62:4-5 There is true freedom in Christ....you are free to be who He made you to be. You don't have to look over your shoulder, or wonder if deception is going to catch up with you, you are no longer bound by addictions or distorted ways of thinking...whatever it is, Jesus can and will set you free. Let Him carry your load-whatever it is-because you will not solve anything by worrying and stressing over it. As you focus on Jesus, everything else around you will seem small...each time you find yourself worrying, begin to focus on Jesus and get in the Word. Pray and ask Him to speak to your heart. In this life, we will have troubles, but setting our hearts and minds on Jesus and His truth will allow us to go through any storm with an unexplainable peace knowing that in all things, God will work it out for your good (as His child) and is conforming you into the image of Christ. Let Him take your load!

Live for God, not man

Paul wrote these words in Galations, "Am I now trying to win the approval of men or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ." 1:10 Which one are you doing? Who do you place your confidence in? It is so easy to get caught up in pleasing other people, but we can never please everyone no matter how hard we try. We need to look to the One who is the author and finisher of our faith. Do everything that you do for the glory of God. He is the One you will stand before one day, not your spouse, your parents your children or your friends. We are called to be set apart. This means that sometimes we are to take a stand even when it is difficult and may (probably will) cause division. When Christ comes in and takes over, He begins to change you from the inside out. This is not something you can do on your own. Things you once did, you no longer have the desire to do and when you are tempted, God will show you the way ...

Hold on!

"The One who calls you is faithful and He will do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:24 We serve a God who is so faithful. He is faithful to us even when we are not. He has an appointed time for everything. And friend, His purpose will prevail. This is not in our time...we must remember, that it is in His perfect timing. He knows what is best for us and He will work ALL things for our good for those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. He uses all of our circumstances to conform us to the likeness of His Son Jesus. Romans 8:28-29 My friend, I don't know what you are going through or how long you have been waiting for the answer from God, but please do not give up. Don't lose hope in the fact that your God is mighty and powerful. Don't stop short of the answer. He tells us in His word to not get weary in well-doing, for in due season, if you faint not, you will receive your reward.Galatians 6:9 This is a promise from God Almighty. He cannot lie. But we have t...

Satan Is Your Enemy, Not People

I know there are times when it feels like others are truly your enemy, by the things they say or how they treat you, however, they are not your real enemy-satan is. While he does use people as part of his strategy, he is always the one behind the warfare. You must remember this at all times. Don't let satan catch you off guard. He will come at you especially during times you are tired both physically and emotionally. He comes only to kill, steal and destroy-your family, your testimony, your finances, your relationships and your health. satan is the father of lies, he was a murderer from the beginning and there is no truth found in him (John 8:44).      Satan has been deceiving people since the Garden of Eden where he first deceived Eve. He appeared to her and asked "Did God really say, you must not eat from any tree in the garden?" which caused her to question God (Genesis 3:1). Make no mistake, satan knows the word of God and he will distort it for his evil schemes. He...
