Love one another as God loves us.

God’s word say, if we love God, and hate our brother, we are a liar.

Forgive and love your brother, and love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.

John 5:12 (KJV) – this is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

I John 4:20 (KJV) – if a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

Mark 12:30 (KJV) – and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

You are braver than you believe, and stronger than you know.

Believe in you!

Joshua 1:9 (KJV) – have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Romans 8:37 (KJV) – nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Patience. So many of us lack patience. We just don’t have the patience to be patient. We want it right now.

Most of us don’t want to ask for patience because we know that if and when we do, God is going to surround us with opportunities to test our patience. But, there are blessings in being patient. Importantly, we miss so many blessings when we don’t wait, especially when we don’t wait for God.

Just wait on God, and prepare to be in awe, what he has prepared for you, just because you waited on Him.

Isaiah 64:4 (KJV) – for since the beginning of the world, men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

We give ourselves credit for everything. Yet, we dont realize it or even understand, that we can do nothing without God.

Give God the glory in everything! I mean everything!

John 15:5 (KJV) – I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

I Corinthians 10:31 (KJV) – whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

We put so much trust in ourselves, and we keep trying to figure things out, when we are to trust God.

Stop trying to figure it out and put your mind to rest. Give it to God, and let him handle it.

Remember, you don’t have more power than God. He will reveal to you what He wants you to know.

Proverbs 3:5 (KJV) – trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

John 14:27 (KJV) – peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Ask yourself; is what I’m going through worth keeping me from doing the will of God? Do I cherish it more than God?

Whatever it is that’s keeping you from the will of God, in essence you are saying, it is worth more than God. You may not speak it, but your actions will show it.

Chose God.

Romans 6:23 (KJV) – for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV) – now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:16, 25 (KJV) – this I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

So many of us walk around feeling bad because of what someone has said about us. Someone can make a unkind statement about us, we chisel it in our mind, accept it as the truth, and carry it within ourselves for months, and even years.

Man did not make man, and every one of us have issues of our own.

Recall who you are as a child of the living God, and let go of the portrait you’ve been carrying around that someone else has painted of you.  Live on the basis of truth, of what God says about you. And what a beautiful portrait yo

Deuteronomy 14:2 (KJV) – for thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

Psalm 139:14 (KJV) – I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Are your thoughts in line with what the world thinks, or are your thoughts in line with things from above? Our actions tells the story of what we think.

Renew your thinking daily, so that your actions are pleasing to God.

Colossians 3:1-2 (KJV) – if ye then be risen with Christ , seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Romans 12:2 (KJV) – and be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

We say unkind things, and speak unkind words to and about others. But not often do we stop to think before we speak.

If unkind words left an awful taste in our mouth, I wonder how much of what we want to say, will be left unsaid.

What you speak is life and death. Be quick to listen and slow to speak.

Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) – death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

James 1:19 (KJV) – wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

Have you listened to someone who kept talking, and you couldn’t get a word in edge-wise, and you wanted to say; “can I say something”?  That’s how most of us are when we are in the presents of God in prayer. We do all the talking, and don’t take the time to listen to what He has to say to us.

Whatever your concern, speak, then be quiet and listen to God. Let Him say something. You’d be surprised what God has to say to you.

Luke 11:28 (KJV) – but he said, yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Proverbs 8:33-34 (KJV) – hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
