God gives hope to those who Dream, miracles to those who believe He never lets down those who trust in Him and He never leaves those who walk with Him.
We hesitate to share about God because we rely on self. 1 Cor 2:1-5 encourages us to rely on the Holy Spirit. Just believe that God wants to use you
Those of us who intend to run the race to win must conduct themselves temperately and restrict ourselves in all things. 1 Cor 9:24-27. We cannot expect someone else to make us do what is right. We must learn to listen to the Holy Spirit and take action ourselves. Self-discipline is essential to all Christians.
Do not be discouraged with yourself just because you have not yet arrived at a place of perfection in your mind and behaviour God will not be angry as long as we have the right attitude. He knows we are a work in progress and will be as long as we live Philippians 1:6 enjoy where you are going and on the way grow.
The bible says in Psalm 37:1-2 Fred not yourself because of evildoers,neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness (that which is not upright or in right standing with God). For they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither as the green herb. We should not want anyone to be cut down or wither even those who harmed us. Instead we need to allow Gods love to be poured out in our heart through the Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5
Jeremiah 11:20 tells us that God test our hearts emotions and thinking powers.
James 1:2-4 says that tests bring out what is within us. In times of trial we become best aquainted with ourselves and our abilities. If we pass the test we become stronger and God promotes us. Prove yourself to God He wants to help. Challenges are what makes life interesting overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. Trust God you do not have to do everything on your own.
Heb 4:12 For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active,operative, energizing and effective] it is sharper than any two edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joins and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and juding the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. Proverbs 2:1-5 teaches us about the necessity and rewards of understanding. We need to seek understanding of God's Word and will, of ourselves and of other people. We all want understanding especially when we go through tough times. Jesus understands Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and simpathize and have a shared feeling with our weeknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are,yet without sining.
Open up to Him He will not reject you because He understands. God is good all the time! Psalm31:19 says that He stores up goodness for those who fear, revere and Worship Him. Trust God and live out your Christianity daily.
Do you know that Jesus gave Himself for you in order for you to have a future of being redeemed and Holy. He also gave us a desire to do good works. Titus 2:14 If you do not think about your future , you cannot have one therefore ask God to show you what you need to do so that you can have the future He planned for you in and through Him..
