When you don’t see a way out of your struggle, turn to God. He will see you through.
When you have done all you can, turn to God. He will make a way for you.
With God, all things are possible.
Psalm 46:1 (KJV) – God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Mark 10:27 (KJV) – and Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Be good to those who are not good to you.
People will know that God lives in you, just by the way you love those that are not loving you.
Matthew 5:44 (KJV) – but I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
God doesn’t just love you.
God “so” loves you.
Trust in God’s love.
John 3:16 (KJV) – for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Don’t let your struggles and hardships go to waste. Share your struggles and pain, and how you conquered, so that you can help someone else overcome and conquer.
Your struggles are a blessing. Be a blessing to someone.
Romans 8:36-37 (KJV) – as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
We stumble through life because we walk in darkness. We walk without the light.
Be determined to walk in the light, for God is the light.
John 11:10 (KJV) – but if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
I John 1:5 (KJV) – this then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Believers. . .
You are salt, which changes the flavor. You are light, which takes away the darkness. You are in this world, but not of this world.
Dare to be different, to make a difference!
Matthew 5:13-14 (KJV) – ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
John 17:16 (KJV) – they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
God has a reason for everyone that has disappointed us.
God allows people to let us down, because most of the time, we make people our god by depending on them. God wants us to depend on Him.
Therefore, those you lean on, were meant to disappoint you, so that you may see God as your source.
Proverbs 3:6 (KJV) – in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
I Peter 5:7 (KJV) – casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Water. Ice. Steam – H2O. Three in one.
God. Jesus. The Holy Spirit – The Trinity. Three in one.
You. Jesus. The Word of God – Child of God. Three in one.
Know who God is. He knows you and He loves you.
John 15:5-7 (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. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified that ye bear much fruit, so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
We have been given grace, mercy, and forgiveness for:
. . . and we continue to rebel against God.
Even if you don’t get it, confess to God what you have done. You have been redeemed. Ask for forgiveness. He will forgive you.
Daniel 9:9 (KJV) – to the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against him.
Colossians 1:14 (KJV) – in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.
I John 1:9 (KJV) – if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
When we expect something to turn out one way, but it turned out another way, we allow it to move our emotions. When it affects our emotions to the point that it has manifested in us and changes our thinking, we are in our feelings, whether good or bad.
Most of us don’t know anything else except to walk in our feelings. We don’t know how not to walk in our feelings. This is not to say, having feelings is wrong, or you can’t have feelings.
This will allow you to not walk in your feelings so much. You will honor God, and begin to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Your thinking will change. Your priority in who you please will change. And those things that once affected you, negatively, will not affect you as much, or not at all.
Walk in The Spirit!
Galatians 5:16, 25 (KJV) – this I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
