Get close to God and He’ll get closer to you.

We lift up ourselves when we should be humble.

When you’re humble, God will lift you up.

Don’t give in to satan, but give yourself unto God.

Fight satan off with the word of God, and he will leave you.

We keep secrets from others and even try to take them to the grave.

There are no secrets in the eyes of the Lord.

None!

It’s one or the other.

We rely so much on our own strength.

Be strong in God’s power and what He can do in and through you.

You are under construction for God’s plan.

He has already started it and will keep you under construction until the end.

God’s plan for us is to have peace.

His peace.

Even in the hard times.

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

Dont be afraid. God will help you.

Ask Him. He will hold your hand.

Isaiah 41:13 (KJV) – for the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

So many believe God gives up on them.

It is you who give up on you.

God will never give up on you.

Isaiah 41:10 (KJV) – fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
