True Friendship

True friendship always reminds me of Hebrews 13:8 which says: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” and you better believe it because He will never forsake you or leave you no matter what changes need to be made in life.  This could be a change with your job, school, health, losing a loved one, getting married and starting a family, or moving out of state or even out of the country Jesus is always there and will be a true friend.  No matter how many people you’ve disappointed or have given up on a friendship with you, know that He will always be there forever and will go through all of the challenges in life with you and never change that’s why it’s important that He’s first in your life and all else falls behind.

You Are God’s Purpose

The people around you might not understand who you are, they might fear you, be confused about you, question you and judge you wrongly, and that’s OK; because you know who and what you are and that is a child of God.  Don’t allow their blind perception of you characterize or change your belief in God or yourself within.  God first knew you and set you apart in this world for His purpose, and you were blessed with gifts assigned especially for you to accomplish what God wants done.  We might not fully understand what these extraordinary gifts are at the moment or what we should do with them.  But don’t worry though; God is still working on you, teaching you, molding you into that special purpose before those gifts can be unleashed right before your eyes.  No matter where you are at you have to keep moving, and believing that all that seems impossible is possible with the help of God. It is important that you keep your focus on the unseen by clearing your mind, stepping out in Faith and asking our Lord God to help you to achieve it in Jesus Christ name and He will. It doesn't cost you anything to believe and seek Him because the price has already been paid earlier in time on the cross, but don’t forget it will cost you everything at the end if you don’t have faith in the truth.

Things of this World

Unknown Source: “People were created to be loved; things were created to be used.  The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved, and people are being used.”

Sometimes many of us get caught up in the things of this world, and take love for granted and look to material things as being our source of living and we forget that these things are to be used, not people.  These things blind us, and during that time we were in love with the material world we ended up losing someone who we should have given more focus and love to.  Remember, we can’t take anything of this world with us when we die, except our soul.  You can feel blessed and thankful for these things while you’re alive, but never allow it to take over your soul and let you miss out on those whom you were blessed to have in your life, and most of all don’t allow these things to mess up your chance at living a lifetime of eternity in heaven.

How We Should Pray to God

The Traditional Version of the Lord’s Prayer:

Our Father, which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy Kingdom come.

Thy will be done in earth,

As it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive them that trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

The power, and the glory,

For ever and ever.

Amen.

Reminder of God’s Protection

Psalm 91

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in Him I will trust.”

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler

And from the perilous pestilence.

He shall cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings you shall take refuge;

His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side,

And ten thousand at your right hand;

But it shall not come near you.

Only with your eyes shall you look,

And see the reward of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,

Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

No evil shall befall you,

Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

For He shall give His angels charge over you,

To keep you in all your ways.

In their hands they shall bear you up,

Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,

The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life I will satisfy him,

And show him My salvation.”

Wait on the Lord

Psalm 27:14 says “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”

For anyone having a rough time out there, know that the Lord our God will always keep us above water no matter the ups and downs that will show up in our lives.  We have to realize that all things will one day change as time goes by, and there will be things that we do not like and are unprepared for, but God knows what He is doing.  We have to trust Him, and have faith that once the plan God has in store for each of His children runs it's full course, that it will strengthen us and draw us closer to Him.  It just takes some time and patience, but waiting on the Lord is the best thing anyone can ever do in this life.

With Love,
