You’ve tried to give life all you’ve got but you haven’t seen any results. It’s like playing a basketball game, you’re in the playoff of your life and play for play the opposing team is head to head with you. Every point from you is answered by the opposing team. You pray for a “stop”, that is a stop in the opposing team’s scoring. All you need is a break so that you can get ahead. None is coming for you and so you keep playing at the same level, hoping that they will make a mistake so you can capitalize on it. Life is like that. You are praying consistently and working hard. Your prayer to God is, Lord give me a break so that I can move ahead. You can’t let up on your dreams because you will definitely lose. You have to keep going at it even when you don’t see what is going to happen. You have to keep going when the doubts come in your mind. You have to wipe the tears from your eyes while you keep forging ahead. Even when you can’t see God or even feel His presence in your situation, you have to keep going. Even when your best friend tells you that you’re wasting your time, you have to keep going. You have to push pass the set backs, push pass the discouragements, push pass the negative attitudes, push pass the fear, push pass yourself. Your stop is on the way. Just believe that you will make it no matter what- age you are, the color of your skin,...

Loving God starts from loving ourselves. If we cannot love ourselves who we are with 24/7, how can we say we love God, who we have never seen. We have to appreciate our self and give our self a break. We have to learn to give our self the benefit of the doubt and stop being over critical. We have to learn to forgive ourselves when God forgives us. Sometimes we are our worst enemies. We put our self down the most. Many times we don’t even want to look in the mirror and love on ourselves. When is the last time you have taken time out to show love to yourself? When is the last time you pampered yourself? Until we learn to appreciate the gift of life that God has given to us in our self, we will never know how to love God. Loving our self does not mean giving our fleshly desires control. It means that we love our self enough to live the best life that we possibly can with the help of God’s Holy Spirit. We can say that we love Him but we will never truly be able to show Him love genuinely without loving what He loves,...

Have you ever reached the end of your faith? At least you think so. What about feeling that God has overlooked you time and time again. Well, He hasn’t but because He operates on His time schedule, it may seem that way. God has heard your innermost cries and He has heard your request. All the scriptures that tell us that He will answer our request is true. God is never short concerning His promises. He is never limited. He never needs to ask for help. He is the sole supplier of all things and this world exist because He holds it all together with His Word. God is sufficient, all powerful, all knowing, and always present. There is never a was to God, He IS always. I have proven Him for myself and even now I struggle with the temptation of impatience. In the depths of my soul, His Spirit lets me know that He will see me through. God is never late and He will bless you with what He knows is the best for you. The trial of our faith brings patience and with patience contentment in Christ as we begin to trust Him and wait on Him for direction. All that we go through will work out for our good if we can trust God through all our situations. He knows what is best for...

No matter what we do as believers or unbelievers we could never satisfy the Holiness and Righteousness of God our Father. It took the pure blood of Jesus Christ, the Holy Lamb of God, to satisfy God’s Righteousness. Today we celebrate the death of our Lord. He willingly gave His life for our sins, He had none of His own. His blood has washed us and made us clean by the forgiveness of our sins. He has covered us so that when our Righteous God looks at us, He sees the blood of His Son that was shed for us. We can do nothing to deserve this gift, all we can do is accept it and repent from our sins and follow Him. He is worthy of all our worship and...

We are ambassadors of Christ wherever we go. There are so many hurting people out in the world. They don’t even know why they are hurting. They are angry and don’t know why. The world as a whole needs peace, the peace of Christ. You can’t preach it to them, they are more in need of the message given to them in our actions than our eloquent words. People don’t want to be told that God is good, they want to see that God is good. They want to see our words come alive through our living. The world is looking for Jesus to show up in person. They are totally correct for wanting Him to actively show His face. Bodacious! Yes, we live in a world that is bold. They aren’t naive, they have come of age. They are tired of sheep in wolf clothing. They want to see the real Jesus stand up. We are the real Jesus while we awaits His return. We have to give Him access to our minds, our hearts, our hands, and our feet. Will we let Him love through us? Will we let Him touch a heart and body through us? Will we allow Him to heal a broken body through us? Will we allow Jesus to be Himself through us? That is the only way that the world will see Jesus come alive. We must relinquish control of ourselves to Him so that He can heal the world through...

Many times we are so busy asking God for more, that we never recall the blessings that He has blessed us with. We go from day to day wanting more and more, like feeding babies, never giving thanks for what we have. How many times this week have we opened our eyes in the morning and thank God for a good night sleep? What about a roof over our heads? What about running water to brush our teeth? What about eyes to see and ears to hear? What about teeth to brush? There are so many things that we are blessed with but we don’t take the time to appreciate God for. If we were to give thanks to God, we wouldn’t need to think up things to pray about. He would shower us with blessings that we wouldn’t know what to do with. Its amazing to me why He continues to bless us, when we give Him so little appreciation. Let us take some mental time to give God...
