Loving Life God's Way

2 Corinthians 12:9 - He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Your power, value and worth do not come from within but rather they come through the power of God via the shed blood of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. God can use you if you surrender to Him

We were not saved for self we were saved to be selfless. God wants us to represent him and Jesus well on this earth and live a life that helps others to see who Jesus is and their need for Him

We are not saved to sit but instead we are saved to serve. As a follower of Jesus, we have a purpose and God has a job for us. God will do what it takes to help us grow and to flourish if we will let Him. Purpose today to grow and be fruitful

2 Corinthians 9:7 - Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. ,, Our must come from the heart out of a love for God and His love for others. There will be no reward for giving that is done begrudgingly

When we are sensitive to leading of the holy Spirit and are being obedient to God we don't have to worry so much about what to say because God's promises that he will speak through us. God never asked us to do something that he is not willing to help us to do

Isaiah 12:2 - God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.” ,, Is this true of you? Do you really believe this? Do you live this? Can others see that you believe this?

Spend time with people that challenge you to be better. The reality is, that you become like the people you hang out with and you allow to be an influence in your life

Jesus didn't just wake up one day and say to God the Father, I want to go into the world and die for these people. No, He was sent as part of God's original plan for the salvation of people. In the same way, God is sending us to share his love and his story with people

Don't stress over the outcome of your work for Jesus. God never expects us to change hearts or change minds. Our only job is to share Jesus with others. Let them know how much they need Jesus in their lives. God is the only one that can change hearts and bring them into His kingdom. Do your job and trust God to do His job

It's not a belt your works and effort but about God's love and grace and your surrender. Acknowledge today that you are a sinner in need of a savior and call on Jesus

Most of us want the benefits of Jesus but are you willing to work for Jesus? Are you praying earnestly for others? Are you willing to become a labor for the cause of Christ? Being a Christian is not a spectator sport. We are supposed to be actively involved in helping others to see their need for Jesus

John 1:12 - To all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, ,, salvation isn't about how hard you work but is by the grace of God through faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. Stop striving and start believing

1 John 4:9 - The love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent His only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him. ,, Never forget or take lightly the fact that Jesus whole purpose on this Earth was to die for our sins. God sent His only Son to his death because his love for us was that strong. Rejoice and praise God today

So often we focus on the miracles and all the good things that Jesus did that we lose sight of the real reason that He came. Jesus came to this earth to die and through His death to give us life. Today we should think about that fact and rejoice that the God of creation loved us so much to send his son Jesus to die for us

1 Corinthians 3:16 - Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? ,,, have you ever thought about the fact that the help you need in any given situation is within you. God, your Father is living in you in the form of the holy Spirit. He is available 24/7. No need to despair, just call on Him

Even though it may feel like God is far, God is never far away. We must call and He will hear. We must believe and we must constantly watch. God is faithful. If God seems far away it's because we have chosen to be far from Him

Jesus came to this earth for one purpose. That was to die on the cross and then to resurrect Himself on the third day. Jesus did this so that we could receive the blessing of Life everlasting. Jesus work on the cross took away our sins and iniquity so that we could have everlasting life in heaven with Him. Rejoice today!!
