The birth of Christ brought God to man. The cross of Christ brought man to God.
Don’t forget what Christmas is truly about, the sacrifice God made for us; the ultimate gift of eternal life through His son Jesus Christ.
Marriage was created by God, for God, and to be done with God. One man, one woman, coming together for one goal... to give God glory! The beauty of a marriage on earth is only a reflection of the beauty that will one day be Christ marrying The Church! Oh, what a glorious day!
You cannot be a friend of the world and a follower of Christ. The world crucified Him then, and they continue to today. Don’t be friends with what Jesus has overcome. The Word should be your best friend, not the world.
One day you will meet Jesus. He will say one of two things on that day.
“Depart from me, I never knew you!”
OR
“Well done, good and faithful servant!”
You choose.
something that has been deeply comforting to my soul recently is the fact that God knew.
God knew that i’d be disobedient.
God knew that i’d fall into that temptation.
God knew that i’d be stuck in that sin.
but He died for me anyway.
& that is a God that i’ll serve.
I’m sitting in public studying my Bible. Maybe that seems insignificant to you, but it hit me. That’s a blessing. The fact that I get to open the Word of God whenever & wherever I please without fear of death is a blessing. Some Christians can’t. Remember them. Pray for them.
Death is not a choice. We all die. Eternity is not a choice. We’ll all meet our Maker. His judgement is not a choice. We’ll all be judged. We sinned. He saved. The choice is Jesus. He paid sin’s penalty for us. But whether we accept or reject Him is up to us. Which do you choose?
Yeah marriage is gonna be awesome, but so is your singleness.
Yeah your dream job is gonna be great, but so can the one you have right now.
Yeah your future is bright. But so is your now.
Life is a gift. Make it the best.
If no one has told you this in awhile:
You’re doing better than you think you are. God still loves you. He still has a plan for you.
It’s better than you think.
It’s so amazing to see God working in your life! Today God open my heart to see the reason why he has placed me at my current job and I am so joyful to be able to glorify Him!
grapes are crushed to make wine. diamonds form under pressure. olives are pressed to release oil. seeds grow in darkness. so next time you feel crushed, under pressure, pressed, or in darkness: you’re transforming.
trust that God is turning your ashes into beauty, girl.
Your relationship with the Lord IS relevant to how to speak to other people. It IS relevant to how you act in the locker room with your friends. It IS relevant to what you watch and listen to and fill your mind with. It IS relevant to how you date. We’ve got to stop blinding in.
Your history of failures and sin was not meant for you, it was meant for the people. God uses it for his glory! Don’t let your shame bring you away from God let it bring you closer to Him.
