Worrying about things of today, tomorrow, or yesterday, takes away our joy for today.

When it’s time to talk about the joys of yesterday, we can’t, because we wasted them on worrying.

God cares for you, therefore cast your cares upon Him. Count everything all joy, and rejoice in the day!

Matthew 6:34 (KJV) – take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

I Peter 5:7 (KJV) – casting all your care upon him; for he care that for you.

James 1:3 (KJV) – my brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptation.

Technology is so advanced that there’s practically nothing we don’t use it for.

One in particular is, we photoshop our pictures because we don’t like the way they look by making things blurring, adding things in, or taking things out.

Most of our Christian walk is the same way. Instead of us trusting God and His word, we believe what we want. We blur out the truth when we are wrong, we add things in, and take things out for our advantage, because we don’t want to know the truth about ourselves.

Stop photoshopping your Christian walk, and let God reveal to you the truth about his word.

Psalm 18:30 (KJV) – as for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

John 8:32 (KJV) – and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

If we ask for forgiveness for our sins, God is faithful to forgiven us for all our sins.

Speaking against the Holy Ghost is an unforgivable sin. One that we will not be forgiven for in this life, nor the life to come.

God will forgive us for everything. . . But….

Matthew 12:31-32 (KJV) – wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaks the word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Have you made your problems a career? Whereas, every time you go through something, you dwell on it, talk about it all the time without resolution, and allow your problem to manifest in you, take over your emotions, and steal your joy.

Read the word of God, speak the promises of God, take control, and live in truth, joy and God’s peace.

Dont make a career out of your problems. But know that all things work together for good.

Matthew 6:34 (KJV) – take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Romans 8:28 (KJV) – and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

I want to, but that’s not what God wants. I don’t want to, but that is what God wants.

Why do we do the things that we shouldn’t, but don’t do the things that we should?

Most of the time, we can’t do the right thing ourselves.  Therefore, we must allow the Holy Spirit to guide you.

Remember, the choices you make affects you, as well as those around you.

Romans 7:19-20 (KJV) – for the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

We swear to one another because we’re proving that what we are saying is the honest truth – without doubt.

On the flip side, we swear because we believe the other person does not believe us.

It is not God’s will for us to swear. Therefore, swear not.

James 5:12 (KJV) – but above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

We all need help. And God is waiting for us to ask him to help us.

Just ask him, and He will. Say it with your mouth: “Father God, I need you. Help me, in Jesus name”.

Start your resolution today by asking with expectations, that God will do what he said he will do. And see him do some amazing things in your life.

Matthew 7:7 (KJV) – ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look at what’s on my mind and in my heart. For allowing the Holy Spirit to caress your heart and massage your mind with the word of God.

I pray that God’s word continues to nurture you, build your faith, and strengthen your mind, body and spirit.

Be blessed in the word. Stand strong in The Lord. And know that you are more than a conqueror! For your days ahead will be greater than your former days.

Happy New Year!

I Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV) – in every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Ephesians 6:10 (KJV) – finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

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

Job 8:7 (KJV) – though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

We want things done fast, in a hurry. Especially our trials. We don’t have time to wait for them to be over.

When we rush things, we miss the beauty in the process of the operation. When our Father works in us, renew us, He doesn’t do it in a hurry, He slowly works in and through us so that we can grasp Him and his likeness.

Allow God to renew you slowly, day by day, so that you can see him love you daily. Don’t rush the process or you’ll miss the blessing.

II Corinthians 4:16-17 KJV) – for which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

When others treat us wrong without a cause, from nothing we did wrong, quite often we don’t understand why.

Jesus did nothing wrong. He was pure and holy. Yet, He was stripped of his clothes, a crown of thorns was placed on his head, they talked about him, mocked him, spit on him, beat him, tortured him, and then executed him.

And we wonder why. They are of the world – in the flesh. They did it to Jesus, they will do it to you.

But thank God, because He will never leave us, nor forsake us.

John 16:18-21 (KJV) -if the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.

Hebrews 13:5 (KJV) – let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
