Thoughts just for you…

Sometimes trying to live a perfect Christian  life can be so difficult that it leaves us drained and discouraged. We may feel so far from perfect that we may never please God with our lives.

Those who are mature should press on in the Holy Spirit’s power, knowing that Christ will reveal and fill in any discrepancy between what we are and what we should be.

We can always make excuses that we still have much to learn. The instruction for us is to live up to what already know and live out what we have already learned. We don’t have to be sidetracked by an unending search for Him.

We need to remember that new Christians will be looking to us for guidance, and understanding. If we share what we have learned so far, we can help them grow into a more mature Christian. We are living examples to others, and because of this we need to be on constant alert to what we are doing, and what we say.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

Above all…never, ever, give up!

Thoughts just for you…

Have you ever been so angry that you wanted to even with someone for something they did to hurt you? That seems like the natural thing to do doesn’t it? We can’t let anyone get away from hurting us.

Let me share this:

Jesus never got even. He never struck back at anyone. Did He ever get angry? Yes, at the temple. However, He never did anything that harmed or hurt anyone.

This is the example we need to try to follow. The old saying, “What would Jesus do,” fist into the picture real well. If we just used that idea every time we want to hurt someone it may stop us from doing something we may be sorry for later.

When we hurt someone, we hurt ourselves.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Thoughts just for you….

We have all faced suffering. I have been through the wringer a few times myself. I could take a couple of hours of writing and share all I have been through, but I am not here to try to invite you to my pity party.

Why do we have to suffer? Why does God allow this to happen to us?

Would you believe me if I said that God allows it to happen on purpose? He often does this knowing that we as Christians will grow even more trough adversity, and therefore, be able to be a blessing to others who may be going through the same things.

I am blessed by having to do so much of this suffering. I am able to witness to others without trying to create thoughts. I can just relate my true story of adversity, and be able to truthfully say, ” I have been there and done that.”

I would be lying if I told you I love suffering. I don’t look forward to it, but I also don’t let it tear me down and make me curse God. I thank God for it, and ask how I can use it to help others.

If you fall into the muck and mire, and many storms come your way, try to focus on God and let Him show you how to use the storms to help others.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

Above all…never, ever, give  up!
