Just a thought...

“The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”” - Zephaniah 3:17

G-D is with me, G-D is with you, G-D is with us. I think we need to remember that at times. If everything else seems to be falling apart just be still and know that G-D is there. He will save you. He will comfort you. He will make your days joyous and full of beauty. Just remember...God is there. Have a great week.

Live It!

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Let's try to live that way. It is easier said than done but that is how we are supposed to live. Not only as an example to others but to be filled with the hope, guidance, love, promises, and true joy that only we can have as followers and receivers of the amazing gift that is Christ Jesus. Just think on that...how freeing would it be to just live that way! Rejoicing always, praying unceasingly, and being thankful for everything. I don't know about you but that sounds like a lot of good days in a row to me :). So smile, connect with the God Almighty in a personal way by talking to Him today, and remember to thank Him for all the blessings in your life, as well as, the hardships you know He will make into glorious goodness! Have a fabulous weekend!

Sickening Sin

Romans 3:23 says, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." As I am reading the first few chapters of Romans I am flooded with a mix of emotions and reactions. I first feel crushed and saddened that we have this amazing God who has a perfect track record of constantly saving us, providing for us, and following through with His promises and we STILL sin and BREAK His heart. I still sin and that disgusts me. It is a betrayal of my Lord and my Savior who sacrificed His body, His blood, and took on pain I can't even fathom for me! But, then I read Romans 3:24-26, " and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. ²⁵ God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— ²⁶ he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus" and I remember I am a sinner but Jesus was the sacrifice. If He is my Savior and I do everything I can to live for Him, His death becomes my righteousness! His blood washes me white as snow! He is the perfect lamb that was sacrificed once and for all---for everyone! Jesus is my reason for smiling every day in this fallen world and being happy because I know the best part of the story! Jesus died in my place, became my righteousness, will be my mediator, and will save me a seat in Heaven. At this point, I really am wondering why people are not throwing themselves at the opportunity to give their lives to Jesus Christ? If you haven't maybe it is time. Jesus is the best part of this world and eternity! Every second of every day I chose Jesus! You should too!

No Secrets

God knows us all so well. Better than we know ourselves even. He knows our thoughts, our heart, our past, our present, and our future. The Lord knows us by name! Walk in the ways of the Lord! Guard your mind and your heart from evil and from things that will make you stray from the straight and narrow. Know that nothing is a secret from the Lord. Therefore, act and think accordingly! Pray Psalm 139:23-24 and ask God to guide you in His ways. Have a great week living as Christ and being an example of Christ's love, grace, and goodness!




“Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” - Psalm 139:23-24

God is so Good!

God is Good....
And the BEST is YET to COME!!!!

Today has been a great day! So much is going on in my life but I know that surrender is the key! God wants my life and when I hand it over to Him He will make it good....great...awesome!!! God loves us knowing who we are wholly and truly. He is the best friend a person could have with the best advice, all the right answers, and the plan for our future. We need to forget about our own interests and focus on the Lords. Give up the worldly for eternity. Are you ready to hand over your life to the King and trade the worldly for a miraculous eternity? Just remember God is GOOD all the time and the BEST is YET to COME!!!

Who's Watching You?

As Christians everything we do should reflect our King, Jesus Christ. What we say, how we say it, what we do, how we think and what we think about. Our lives should be an out pour of the love, wisdom, hope, joy, and goodness of Christ. Remember we are on this Earth for more than ourselves, we are here to be a servant to Christ and to share the good news of Christ with all those who enter our paths. People are watching us, will they see Christ in you?

Back to the Future

The past few months I have been praying constantly about being on the path God wants me to be on. I like to have plans and everything set in advanced and sometimes it feels like the answers just don't come soon enough. Although, I know God through every step and turn in my life is shaping me to be like Him. You know God doesn't always answer right away and sometimes the answer is one we don't expect. In all things we need to trust Him and know that as long as the God of all creation who spoke the world into being knows our future, our next step, and knows our names we don't really need to worry about much else. Can you contemplate that....THE LORD OF ALL CREATION, HEAVEN AND EARTH, KNOWS THE PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE!!! How awesome is that! Our plans are great but how much better are the plans of the Lord Almighty! The next time worry or uncertainty comes into mind remember to think of who has your future plans all figured out! God Bless your future!
