GOD LOVES YOU regardless of how well you are performing. – JEREMIAH 31 : 3, ISAIAH 61 : 10, PSALM 31 : 16, PSALM 107 : 8

GOD LOVES YOU regardless of how well you are performing. (https://youtu.be/E9DCGGXTDFc)

“GOD LOVES YOU regardless of how well you are performing. Sometimes you feel uneasy, wondering if you are doing enough to be worthy of GOD’S Love. No matter how exemplary your behavior, the answer to that question will always be no. Your performance and GOD’S Love are totally different issues, which you need to sort out. GOD loves you with an everlasting Love that flows out from eternity without limits or conditions. GOD has clothed you in HIS robe of righteousness, and this is an eternal transaction: Nothing and no one can reverse it. Therefore, your accomplishment as a Christian has no bearing on GOD’S Love for you. Even your ability to assess how well you are doing on a given day is flawed. Your limited human perspective and the condition of your body, with its mercurial variations, distort your evaluations. Bring your performance anxiety to The LORD, and receive in its place HIS unfailing Love. Try to stay conscious of GOD’S loving Presence with you in all that you do, and HE will direct your steps.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” JEREMIAH 31 : 3

I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. ISAIAH 61 : 10

Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love. PSALM 31 : 16

Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men, PSALM 107 : 8

Prayer: Lord thank you for loving me with an everlasting unconditional love. Help me to love a little more like you today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

John 13:5-9

After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, “Lord, are You washing my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.” Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.” Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!” (John 13:5-9 NKJV)
ma
In this scripture we see The Lord of Lord’s, King of King’s, God almighty washing his disciples feet. Jesus was showing his need to serve yet the disciples did not understand. Servant hood is a great way to show Gods love for others, do something nice for someone today and when they ask why did you do that? Respond because Jesus loves you………Be Blessed

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:15

“So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Isn’t it nice to know that our salvation has sealed us in right standing with God. Today’s prayer is that we would always remember our right standing with God and when we fail repent and reach out to our Heavenly Father…..Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17

Numbers‬ ‭6:24-26‬

“‘May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’” Numbers‬ ‭6:24-26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The current condition of the world can make you almost give up all hope!!! NEGATIVE!!!! Hope in Christ is all we have and it is critical we hold onto it. To be a Christian by the worlds measure is wrong, But the word says Transform do not conform!!!!!! Today’s prayer is that we would all Praise God for his smiling on us all day, Praise him for his Grace, and keep his perfect peace with us all day long….. Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17

GOD IS CALLING YOU to a life of thankfulness. – ISAIAH 6 : 3, 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7, 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

https://youtu.be/su404t5s5jM

GOD IS CALLING YOU to a life of thankfulness. – ISAIAH 6:3, 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7, THESSALONIANS 5:18 (https://youtu.be/su404t5s5jM)

“GOD IS CALLING YOU to a life of thankfulness. GOD wants all your moments to be punctuated with thanksgiving. The basis for your gratitude is The LORD’S sovereignty. GOD is the Creator and Controller of the universe. Heaven and earth are filled with GOD’S glorious Presence. When you criticize or complain, you are acting as if you think you could run the world better than GOD does. From your limited human perspective, it may look as if The LORD is mismanaging things. But you don’t know what GOD knows or see what HE sees. If GOD pulled back the curtain to allow you to view heavenly realms, you would understand much more. However, GOD has designed you to live by faith, not by sight. The LORD lovingly shields you from knowing the future or seeing into the spirit world. Acknowledge GOD’S sovereignty by giving thanks in all circumstances.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” ISAIAH 6 : 3

We live by faith, not by sight. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 7

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 18

Prayer: God help me to live a life of thankfulness. If you did nothing else but die on the cross for my sins that would have been enough to give thanks and praise to you all the days of my life. But in your goodness you do more each day. Thank you Jesus. In your name I pray. Amen.

1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭13‬

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. ‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭13‬ NIV

Have you ever done something you know is wrong but did it anyways? If you look at all temptation there is always a way out of it. Gods word tells us that he will never let us be tempted beyond what we can endure. As believers we have to stand firm on his word. The devil will always direct temptation at us in all areas but when the temptation comes remember there is always a way around it. Today I pray when temptation arises we would confess the ” We are the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus” and watch the temptation flee…….Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17

TRUST GOD, and don’t be afraid. – ISAIAH 12 : 2, PSALM 61 : 2 – 4, 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18

https://youtu.be/BifDSl8TvM4

TRUST GOD, and don’t be afraid. (https://youtu.be/BifDSl8TvM4)

“TRUST GOD, and don’t be afraid. Many things feel out of control. Your routines are not running smoothly. You tend to feel more secure when your life is predictable. Let GOD lead you to the rock that is higher than you and your circumstances. Take refuge in the shelter of GOD’S wings, where you are absolutely secure. When you are shaken out of your comfortable routines, grip GOD’S hand tightly and look for growth opportunities. Instead of bemoaning the loss of your comfort, accept the challenge of something new. GOD leads you on from glory to glory, making you fit for HIS kingdom. Say yes to the ways GOD works in your life. Trust GOD, and don’t be afraid.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” ISAIAH 12 : 2

From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. PSALM 61 : 2 – 4

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 : 18 (NKJV)

Prayer: Lord help me to say yes to the ways you work in my life. And when you take me out of my comfort zone help me to grip your hand tightly and rely on your strength, your wisdom, and your Holy Spirit. With God all things are possible. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:10

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Never lose hope no matter how bad things may be!!! God is the everlasting God and has your back!!! Today’s prayer is we would stay in constant communication with God Almighty in all things and trust in his promise……Be Blessed and Chill

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17

HEAVEN IS both present and future. – 1 CORINTHIANS 15 : 20 – 23, HEBREWS 6 : 19

https://youtu.be/OMq7vdwBBQQ

HEAVEN IS both present and future. (https://youtu.be/OMq7vdwBBQQ)

“HEAVEN IS both present and future. As you walk along your life-path holding GOD’S hand, you are already in touch with the essence of heaven: nearness to GOD. You can also find many hints of heaven along your pathway, because the earth is radiantly alive with The LORD’S Presence. Shimmering sunshine awakens your heart, gently reminding you of GOD’S brilliant Light. Birds and flowers, trees and skies evoke praises to HIS holy Name. Keep your eyes and ears fully open as you journey with GOD. At the end of your life-path is an entrance to heaven. Only GOD knows when you will reach that destination, but The LORD is preparing you for it each step of the way. The absolute certainty of your heavenly home gives you Peace and Joy, to help you along your journey. You know that you will reach your home in GOD’S perfect timing: not one moment too soon or too late. Let the hope of heaven encourage you, as you walk along the path of Life with The LORD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the first fruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 1 CORINTHIANS 15 : 20 – 23

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. HEBREWS 6 : 19

Prayer: Lord the absolute certainty of heaven gives me peace and joy even on tough days. My light and momentary troubles are achieving for me an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. Open my eyes to see the hints of Heaven you’ve placed along my path today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4:14‬

“For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4:14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I believe it’s a parents prayer that their kids will excel in life and live a life that is pleasing to them, I want that for my kids as well, but more than that I want them to be in the loving arms of Christ. Today’s prayer is that we would all pray for our loved ones to know Jesus and be saved!!! And I know it’s a shocker but we need to pray for those who are not quite our favorites!!!! If Christ did, why should we not? …….Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17
