Bible Verse of The Day – 12-3-19

Psalm 139:14 (NKJV) 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.

We are all fearfully and wonderfully made. But some of us can’t accept it because too many people have made us look at ourselves differently.

There are things they have called us and things they have said about us.

We have taken on who they said we are and we don’t even know who we really are anymore.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be who God made us to be and have friends and family that are OK with that? Wouldn’t it be nice to take off the mask?

We have worn our mask so much, we have forgotten who we really are. It’s sad, isn’t it?

One day we will get tired of it all. And we will be done with it. We will not understand why, for so long, we participated in conversations and activities that we were not interested in.

Today is that day.

Do you know that you are beautiful the way you are? And yes, we can all use some chastening here and there. But don’t you dare lose who God made you to be. You need to be you. You don’t need to be them.

Be You! Funny, loving, caring, smart, very organized, a troubleshooter, a hard worker, compassionate and anything else God has made you.

We know that God is speaking to your heart today, and our prayers are with you.

God loves you! Let’s enjoy who He has made us to be without fear of being disowned or rejected. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-7-19

1 Peter 1:24-25 (NKJV) 24 because “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, 25 But the word of the Lord endures forever.”

Our flesh, like the grass, withers away. And the glory of men falls away. The only thing that endures forever is the word of the Lord! Amen.

We don’t need to put so much emphasis on becoming something or someone great! If it happens, then so be it. But let’s not knock ourselves out trying to make it happen.

All God asks from us is to be ourselves, who He made us, through Christ’s redeeming blood.

If we are going to put emphasis on anything, put it into working hard at following the Lord’s commandments. That is what matters most to Him.

We need to learn how to allow His Spirit to move in us each day. He is our Helper. He gives us power, strength and the love we need to walk out His commandments accordingly.

We can do nothing without Him. We need to be connected if we hope to bear fruit.

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Let’s get close to our heavenly Daddy.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-8-19

Psalm 139:13 (NKJV) 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.

Are we trying too hard to be someone we are not, and never will be? Are we working day and night to do something that we just can’t seem to get right? Maybe we just don’t have what it takes, but we feel bad if we give up.

So, instead we walk around feeling frustrated and disappointed all the time because we are not able to be who we think we need to be. Sometimes we even end up being afraid of what others may think about us.

There are going to be things in this life that others are going to do better than us. And there are things we just won’t have what it takes to do. We need to face this simple truth so we can rest and be OK with who we are.

I will never be as good as some people are at certain things. I just don’t have it in me and it’s not something I can really learn. But, I’m alright with that because there are things in me that no one else can do like I do.

Our contribution to this world as who God made us to be is huge. Don’t waste time trying to be like so and so.

We all have our uniqueness, our special talents and gifts, etc. And they are beautiful! God made us. We need to spend more time being real, enjoying the person that we are now and that we are becoming through God’s shaping of us.

Have fun and enjoy who God made us to be. We will bless so many people with our realness, completeness, and our joy in the Lord!

Psalm 100:3 (NKJV) 3 Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-30-19

Psalm 133:1 (NKJV) 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!

The body of Christ is like a puzzle. Every piece of that puzzle is uniquely cut. It has its place and purpose to help complete that one puzzle.

Puzzles cannot be complete if we do not fit the right individual piece into the right place, or if we lose a piece.

Just as we are all individual pieces of God’s work on this earth, there is a purpose for our unique individuality.

How will the artwork of our Father, His bride, ever come together as one if we keep saying “no” to the very person or piece that will fit into that place where it needs to be?

Each child of God is different. And in that uniqueness, God brings together a beautiful completeness in His bride as He shapes us and molds each of us into a new creation.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Let Him teach us how to let the individuality of His children come together as one. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-9-18 – It’s OK To Be Yourself

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in Jesus’ name! 

We all have various relationships in our lives; marriage, friendship, co-workers, classmates and much more. And each of the people that we interact with regularly can have an impact on how we act. 

God has made each of us with certain strengths, talents, qualities and personality traits. It’s all part of who we are. But some people constantly put pressure on us to change who we are. They want us to surrender who God made us to be in order to please them. 

Our latest video talks about being who God made us to be. In that video, we discuss many of the things that can cause us to give up who God made us to be. And we talk about how to avoid being pressured into changing just because certain people say we should. 

We hope you’ll take a few minutes to give it a watch. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Enjoy your day and keep pressing in to God. 

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-9-18

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Many of us struggle with who we are, who God made us to be. We wrestle with trying to be ourselves. And, instead, we try to follow in the footsteps of someone else, emulating someone we know or someone we look up to.

It’s not wrong to see good qualities in others and then work toward having those qualities in ourselves. But way too often we take it beyond that and we try to be that person. We try to walk in their shoes, live their life and almost take on their identity.

But God has created us to be unique. He has placed specific qualities in us that are there for a reason. He has plans that He wants to carry out in each and every one of us. So, the last thing He wants for us is to see us get caught up in trying to become someone else.

You have skills, talents and abilities that were placed in you by your Creator. He has made you who you are. Yes, you may have some faults and shortcomings. We all do. But they are nothing that He can’t help us overcome and correct.

We just have to let Him.

And the way to do that is to submit and surrender to Him. We need to start letting Him guide our steps, showing us what to do and when to do it, instead of us always telling Him what we want to do and how we want to do it.

Father, please forgive me for trying to be someone I am not. Please help me to learn exactly who you created me to be. Help me to stop looking at everyone around me and trying to live their life.

Help me, God, to see myself as someone with a hope and a future, not as someone who has run out of chances. I trust you to do a good work in me and fix the broken things in me. I give you permission to show me how to live my life with my eyes on you, not on others.

Thank you for hearing my prayer. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-5-16

Psalm 139:13-14 (NKJV) 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.

We are all unique.

God has made each and every one of us special as individuals. We have our own traits, our own thoughts, expressions, movements and so much more. There is nobody else on earth that is exactly like you!

And it’s important that we stay unique individuals, not a copy of someone else.

Throughout our lives, we are exposed to many other people and their ways of doing things. Our parents, our siblings, our friends, and even our spiritual leaders, such as a pastor or mentor, all play a part in shaping us.

Many times we will find ourselves taking on the traits or habits of others, simply because we have been around them so much. They begin to “rub off” on us.

Other times, we begin to emulate people that we like or want to be like. Sometimes this is OK, but many times we lose our God-given identity in order to try to be like someone else.

And in some drastic cases, we can actually begin idolizing our spiritual leaders, if we’re not careful

God wants us to be us. Plain and simple. He doesn’t want us to model ourselves after anyone. It’s OK to learn from others and use what we learn to draw closer to God. But we have to be careful not to simply emulate someone. Being like someone else will never, ever give us a closer walk with God!

So let’s be sure that we are being who God made us to be, and not just imitating or following after someone we know or look up to.
