Love...

If I told you the end of the world was coming... would your friends and family know how much you love them? would you have any regrets? would you wish that you took the time to love on people more? what would you change about your life if you knew you only had one year left to live?

Pray for the nations!
Pray for your family!
Pray for your friends!
Pray for the unsaved!
Pray for the leaders!

I was reminded today of how powerful prayer is and how important love is!

Remember: God gave his only son life! and Jesus lead a perfect life, so that because of his perfect life he takes our place!! He is the one dying for our sins- a perfect sacrifice so that because Jesus lives in our hearts (if you've prayed and asked him to come into your heart- and if you have prayed He IS there- it's a promise, and God ALWAYS keeps his promises!) and since Jesus lives in our heart, God sees Jesus' perfection, and not our sins!! WOW!! unfathomable!

God has power to answer your prayers!
to bring others to know Him in all his love and glory!

I pray and hope that my friends and family know how much I love them!!
I will always love them!

I did not deserve to be this blessed!!
Praise Jesus!
Praise God, the father!
Praise the Holy Spirit, whom the father has sent us to lead and guide us... to encourage us and be with us to carry us through all the hard times!

Tell someone you love them!

Let your light and God's love OVERFLOW to ALLLLLLL those around you!

Thank someone!
those that love you...
God...
the trinity!
Be in awe of all God does!!
DO NOT BE LEAD ASTRAY BY THE FALSE WITNESSES GOD HAS WARNED US OF!
Wait on the Lord!!!
Be prepared...
let those around you know how much you love them!

LET GOD KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trust

So often we take trust for granted... or if you're like me, I have a hard time trusting others because I don't want to be disappointed, or I'm afraid if something goes wrong I'd rather it be because of something I did than leaving it up for someone else to make a mistake... Well, if we realize this fact about ourselves, than why does it hurt so bad when others don't trust you? I mean, I shouldn't get upset when people question what I say... I'm not perfect, God knows I fall short of His glory every day, and that I need His grace so much because I can't do it on my own!
I've lied before, and I'll probably lie again in my lifetime, but when we are being truthful and when we are trying to follow God and be lead by Him and when we are truly striving to be honest and do what is right, that's when it really hurts that people don't trust you... it's when you're caught in the wrong that you're like, ok, it was right for you to question, but when there was nothing wrong done, and trust is lost that it really hurts...
I have many a conversation with God about feeling sorry for the fact that so often I don't trust Him enough and that too often I try to take things into my own hands, when it would turn out so much better if I just left it up to Him, but for some stupid reason, I like to make things difficult and take things into my own hands!
Anywho, in closing:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5
