Yes there is! When we learn to forgive, we are freed up and a burden falls off our backs. For some people their health gets better and their relationships are transformed. For many of us we’ll start seeing our prayers answered. Sometimes we think that we don’t need to forgive because we have been wronged but if you really thing about it, you’ll see that we carry the burden more than the other person. Sometimes the other person have not a clue that they did us wrong. While we carry them around with us and that can become heavy if malice enters the picture. Just learn to forgive and life will become less complicated and you will see how much better you will feel. God is our Lord and He does not tolerate lack of forgiveness because He knows how it can become like an abscess that becomes a tumor and eventually a cancer that spreads. He will give you the strength to forgive if you allow Him access to your hurt. God can transform lives when He is allowed to perform His operation. All He asks from us is to forgive one another and He will do the rest of the healing. He will do what He alone can do. He is our...

For any child growing up in this world being without a father is painful. Having a mother is a great blessing but when a boy has his father active in his life, he feels complete. The same goes for anyone who don’t have their heavenly father active in their lives. You can be a Christian and not have God active in your life. You can push Him so far from you with your lifestyle that He with His holiness cannot be active in your life. Just as a child missing their father can grow up feeling that there is something missing, as Christians we face the same feelings. There will always be an emptiness that leaves us feeling empty always. God is the only one that can fill that void same as only a father could have filled that void that their absence left. When God is active in our lives, He fills the void of any missing earthly father and He occupies any void that only He alone can fill. No one can take the place of God in his creation. He has genetically left a space for Himself inside of us that will never be filled unless we receive Him inside. As Christians we need to actively seek out our Heavenly Father and get Him involved in our lives. As unsaved people all that is necessary for Him to fill the void is to “ASK” Him to come into your heart and occupy the space that was designed in you for Him. He will come in and fill the void and take away the loneliness. God loves...

As we come together into the presence of the Lord, what do we bring? We bring the sacrifice of praise into His presence. When we thing about all that He has done in and for us, we praise Him and thank Him. He is awesome and worthy of the honor and glory. Bless the Lord o my soul and all that is within me, bless His holy...

Do we really believe this statement or is it just a cliche? The reason I ask that is, when we are in need of a solution to a problem and He doesn’t show up at the time when we think He should come, we try to find our own solutions. I can understand God directing us to a solution, when He does it, it is always the perfect solution for our problem. The outcome is always a blessing and it brings God glory. When we come up with a solution after becoming impatient with God, it is never the best solution and it never gives God glory ultimately. Sometimes we come to the alter and place our problem there but as soon as we get impatient we go right back and take it out of God’s hand. In the end we blame Him for the solution that we came up with. God isn’t double minded and He has perfect knowledge of all things. He has perfect timing and He knows how to solve a challenge perfectly. No patch-up work for God. Everything is orderly for Him. We have to learn to trust Him with our lives and believe that He knows how to take care of us better than we know how to do so. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that who soever believes in Him will have eternal life.”- John 3:16. That is...

Sometimes when you’ve done what you consider the best that you could and things don’t seem to be working out the way that you were expecting it to, you feel “why put in any more effort.” We have to remember that Gog is in control. If we have declared our allegiance to Him in our confession of faith, we belong to Him. God has perfect timing and that is one of the reasons He told us never to be anxious about anything. We have to trust God to keep us and all that concerns us. He will fix any situation but we have to trust Him to do it His way. We have to let go and Let God. He is well capable to do the best even if it doesn’t match up to the way that we expected it to turn...
