When I don’t think I am good enough,

when I don’t think I’m worthy enough,

you remind me I am your master piece,

You call me lovely.

I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

I choose to see myself the way you see me.

As hard as it may be sometimes, I push to see pass the imperfections to see I am perfect in your eyes.

No amount of a man’s love can match your unconditional love.

Your love outweighs all. Your love endures forever.

When I call upon you, you answer me.

You are with me.

And best of all,

You call me lovely.

Whenever I start to feel down about my circumstances and wish that I could be where I dream of being, I remember that God’s love for me is more than enough. I instantly remove myself from the pity party and remain focused on what is promised to me. So far, God has not disappointed me in anything. His promises come true always. It is up to me to recognize it at all times. We can be so easily blindsided by a wave of emotions that come out of nowhere. The enemy wants us to panic, feel alone, isolated, frustrated and everything opposite of peace. But Christ is the Prince of Peace. If He never gave us anything else but himself on the cross, we already would have more than enough.

Sometimes we put ourselves in situations that we should not be in.

Sometimes the heart behind the things we do, is not of the Lord’s.

Instead of embarrassing yourself, why not try to things that please God?

Why not try living the way He asks you to live?

Maybe then you won’t be embarrassed.

Ever think that you need something else to satisfy you even after God has already given you all you need. Raise a hand if that’s you. My hand is all the way lifted high because I know that’s me. I do this all the time. This week , he gave me two very different scenarios. One where I felt completely at peace and full of joy. Another where I felt so bad that I couldn’t eat all day. Which situation would you rather be in? I realize now that I have everything I need in Jesus. He has set me free. He has given me everything I need and will never bring me to a place where I feel unloved , unwanted, and not needed. His love is peace. His love brings joy and love. It never makes you feel alone. It never makes you feel less than. It always makes you feel whole, complete, loved. I realize I already have someone who loves me. Love them back. Love those who never treat you as less than but love you no matter what.

You know that feeling when it feels like nothing makes sense. You wake up, do the same routine but it all starts to get mundane. You are looking for change when you have so much to do already. There are tasks and dreams God gives so we have a plan to follow. It is much easier to surrender to His will and stop trying to fight it.

Now that you have seen what God can do, move forward. Move forward knowing that He has you covered. Know that he will never leave you astray. He always kept you safe in the middle of the storm and has always held your hand as you walked through the fire. You’ve made mistakes. You’ve been disobedient. You’ve been disciplined in more ways than you can name. God was building your character the whole time. He was teaching you who you need to be. More like Him. More like His son, Jesus. Now it’s time to not look back any longer. Move forward knowing that all things will work out for your good according to God’s plan. It is going to be fulfilled anyways so you might as well surrender now and let Him have His way. You will save many years of heartache, pain, and discipline.

Move forward.

How many of us pray for other people?

There are people who desperately need prayer.

Why are we so hesitant to think of others?

We are constantly only thinking about ourselves. It takes work to think of others.

It takes work to care for them.

We live in a generation today that is so obsessed with themselves and caring for others less and less.

It is beneficial to care for others.

It is beneficial to give your time and energy to others as we are all in this faith walk together.

You may be at another level than your fellow brother or sister in Christ or you may befriend someone who does not believe.

Wherever anybody is in life, they deserve to be prayed for. Even your enemies.

This is not new information.

Just read the sermon on the mount.

Most of it deals with our heart, our actions, and how we treat other people.

Intercede whenever you can.

Use your voice, and pray.
