Oh How He loves you!

I woke up in the middle of the night and felt God prompting me to write....God loves YOU and He wants you to know this. There is nothing you have done or ever will do that will change the fact that God loves you. In fact, the Bible tells us that "God IS love." 1 John 4:16 There are so many scriptures that God is telling us just how much He loves us. Exodus states that "in your unfailing love, You will lead the people you have redeemed. In Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling." 15:13 In Numbers we read "The Lord is slow to anger, ABOUNDING in love and forgiving sin and rebellion." 14:18 In 2 Chronicles, "He is good; His love endures forever." 5:13 In Psalm 32:10, "Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in Him." Psalm 36:5, "Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the skies." Psalm 100:5 "For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations." In Psalm 145:8 we read, "The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love." Ephesians 2:4-5 says "But because of His great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved."
1 John 3:1, "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God."
There are many other verses that speak of God's love for you. God is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19) God is not like us my friend, and His ways are not our ways. People in your life will disappoint you and fail you and maybe even stop loving you, but God never will. His love will stand. He loves you in the good days and bad days. There will be times when you don't "feel" anyone could love you, however, God does and it is not based on whether we "feel" loved or not. Our feelings come and go. Dig into His word and let Him speak to you. His word is "living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
Let His words penetrate your heart. The Bible is God's love letter to you. The creator of heaven and earth loves you and He wants you to know it right now. Thank Him today for His unfailing love.

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...
