Thoughts just for you…

As I am sitting here typing, there are “bombs,” going off outside. It is the 4th of July, here in the U.S.A., and we celebrate out independence on this day.

As I hear the fireworks go off, I am reminded how we became independent in 1776. We fought for what we felt was our right to freedom.

We continue,  236 years later, fighting for our freedoms.

We have broadened our vision, and are fighting for freedoms in many other countries around the world.

One of the freedoms we have in  my country is the right to worship in our churches. I thank God for the right.

I think of the many other countries that forbid people for gathering together to worship. The persecution is so harsh, that many are dying for their beliefs.

If you live in one of those countries and are a Christian, don’t ever give up! Stay the course, and then receive the blessing from God as He says, “You have fought the good fight. You have finished the race. You have kept the Faith.” (I Timothy 4:7)

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

Above all…never, ever, give, up!

Thoughts just for you…

The Christian life is a process of becoming more and more like Christ. (Romans 8:29)

We need to purify ourselves. What does purify mean? It means to keep morally straight, free from the corruption of sin. God also purifies us, but there is action we must take to remain morally fit. (I Timothy 5:12) (James 4:8) (Ipeter 1:22.)

We need to also know the difference in commiting a sin and continuing to sin. Even the most faithful sometimes commit sins, but they don’t cherish a particular sins and choose to commit it. A believer who commits a sin repents, confesses and finds forgiveness. A person who continues to sin, is not sorry for what they are doing. Thus this person never confesses and never receives forgiveness. Such a person is in opposition to God no matter what religious claims they make.

Three steps are necessary to find victory over sin:

  1. Seek the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s word.
  2. Stay away from tempting situations.
  3. Seek the help of the body of Christ. Be open to their willingness to hold you accountable and pray for you.

So, live your life in a way that you can feel peace with your heavenly Father. Obey His ways, and believe that He sent His only Son down to this earth to die for you and me.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

Above all… never, ever, give up!

Why do we spend so much of our time each day. I have a bumper sticker chapter title in my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” called….”Worry is the Darkroom, Where negatives develop.”  That is so true. We need to know that 99% of what we worry about never happens, and we need to give the other 01% over to God.

God has very big shoulders. He is our heavenly Father. He loves us like His own child. With God on your side, who can be against you?

You love others, but who loved you first. You serve others, but who served you first. That would be God.

He created you with a purpose in mind. He has big plans for you, no matter what your age is.

Stop feeling like the earth is pulling you down like a huge magnate. Release all that weight to God, and star serving Him to show Him how much you worship Him for His love for you.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all….never, ever, give, up.
