Purpose

"As the sun begins to illuminate my thought,
My Vision sent from the Lord becomes clearer.
All those dark nights spent alone were definitely worth it.
Gentle tears roll from my eyes as I thank the Lord.
Can you imagine?
Many days spent wandering around without purpose,
and now you realize why you're still alive."

God has a purpose for all of us. We just have to be patient until He reveals it to us.

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.
Ephesians 1:11

Oldie but Goodie

God..Why?



A lot of us have that one question that we want to ask God. The question is: Why? "Why is this happening to me?" "Why do I have to deal with this?" "WHY?" Many times, when we're in a tough situation, we want to throw that question at God. However we might focus too much on why we are going through things, and we end up missing our blessing. So whatever your situation, you can seek God's help. Stop worrying about why and just know that you can get through it, with God of course.

Trusting God


Trust by definition is to have confidence or faith in. But what does it mean to really trust God? A great way to start is by saying "Lord, I trust you." However we must do something to prove this trust, as James 2:17 says "in the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." My pastor says, "You can come in here and sit down without checking to see if all the screws are secure in your chair. So if you can trust that chair, you can trust God." Just believe and give Him complete control over your situation.

Living Holy


"How do you do it? How do you live a Godly life in today's world? It is impossible."

First of all, "Nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37)." However it is not easy living Godly in today's world. Sin is constantly everywhere. TV, movies, internet, friends, family..EVERYWHERE! You just have to stay focused on God and "keep your eye on the prize." Ask God to help you on your journey, He wont say no.


By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. 2 Peter 1:3

Be Satisfied


I want _________.
(fill in the blank)

If only _________.
(fill in the blank)



Life can be dominated by our "I wants" and "If onlys". I have wanted certain things to happen in my life. However we must obey what God wants, or His will, for our lives. We can't focus on the things that we want to change about our lives or the things that we want. Instead we can be satisfied with what we have. The tragedy in Haiti is one example of how everything can be stripped from you in an instant.

I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
Philippians 4:12
