The love of Christ
God grace is sufficient for us (2Cr 12:9)… Where sin increased grace abounded all the more (Rom 5:20)… Should we then sin so grace may abound? MAY IT NEVER BE! (Rom 6:1-2) If I do amazing things but do not have love I am nothing(1Cr 13:1-3) Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, it does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own,...
Isaiah 35
The wilderness and the desert will be glad, And the desert will rejoice and blossom; Like the crocus It will blossom profusely And rejoice with rejoicing and shout of joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, The majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the LORD, The majesty of our God. Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble. Say to those with anxious heart,...

The Excellency of Christ
We admire Him for His glory, but even more because His glory is mingled with humility;
We Admire Him for His transcendence, but even more because His transcendence is accompanied by condescension;
We admire Him for His uncompromising justice, but even more because it is tempered with mercy;
We admire Him for His majesty, but even more because it is a majesty in meekness;
We admire Him because...

God knows you
Jer 29:11
‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. …Luk 12:6-7 “Are not five sparrows sold for two [fn] cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace. Romans 11:6 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 2Cr 12:9
Word search: God is my, Version: NASB
God is my strong fortress (2Sam. 22:33
Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul. (Ps. 54:4
For God is my stronghold. (Ps 59:9
O my strength, I will sing praises to You; For God is my stronghold, the God who shows me lovingkindness. (Ps 59:17
But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works. (Ps...

I would just like to submit this post to call anyone who calls themselves Christians to pray.
We as christians have been enlisted into a struggle. A struggle against the devil. But as it says in Eph 6:12, our battle is not of the physical it is of the spiritual. How do we enter into this battle, this struggle, this war. Through prayer.
In acts 12 Peter was thrown into prison by Herod. But it...

Lose your life and you will save it.
But there must be a real giving up of the self. You must throw it away “blindly” so to speak. Christ will indeed give you a real personality: but you must not go to Him for the sake of that. As long as your own personality is what you are bothering about you are not going to Him at all. The very first step is to try to forget about the self altogether. Your real, new self (which is...

For though I be free from all [men], yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them...

Pray, a blessing from God.
I just love how God made pray. Its a way to just spend time with God. While we are spending time with God, He chooses to change us. While we pray God hears are prayer and answers are prayers. The thing that I find just amazing is that God guides are prayers!!! So He leads when to pray and how to pray! God does everything!!!! All we have to do is just choose to spend time with Him!

Well that was part of the devotional I read today and it touched me. Back in the days when this text was written for some of the people it was considered sinful to eat certain kinds of meat. But that doesn’t really apply to me because I don’t think people are stumble by someone eating meat. What this does apply to is when we are around our brothers and sister( or when we are not) are...

God is good! Just a few days ago I was sitting in front of my computer and was being super tempted by the devil, and in my brain I had already decided I was going to fail… (for some reason in my brain I figured that hey even though I am a Christian I am still going to sin..) Which is true that there will be times where you do sin, but that shouldn’t be our mind set. Anyways, as I was...
