Being Loved Abundantly

Being Loved Abundantly

Comments 3 comments

When I think about my relationship with God one of the first things that comes to mind is how blessed I am that He loves me. It still blows my mind that He not only waited for me, He sent His Son to save me. How awesome is that? 

Before we give our lives to Christ, most of us spend so much time trying to measure up…to fit in. When it’s not really necessary. For a while, it may even look like we are having some success. But it’s all a facade’. 

In Christ, we are abundantly blessed. God supplies our every need. He actually will give us more than what we need. The Bible says that He will give us exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think (Eph. 3:20). 

We spend so much time running from God that we miss how blessed it feels to be in His presence. I often wish I had given my life to Him sooner so that I would have more time loving Him, because He already loved me…I just didn’t know it.

God loves us abundantly, and nothing we do will ever change that.  And that is worth far more than anything money can buy.

Until next time…

Are You Happy?

Are You Happy?

That’s the question I want to start this post with today.

As I was contemplating what “happy” really meant, it made me wonder why being happy is so important. We work really hard at finding happiness, or trying to make someone else happy. What I realized is that a lot of it is based on what they show on television, right? The kind of life where the guy always gets the girl, (or the girl gets the guy), and all of our problems get worked out by the end of the show. That would be nice, but that’s not reality. At least not for many of us.

What I found is that happiness can be fleeting, because it’s dependent on something external. Something has to happen for us to be happy. We have to get the promotion, the new job, the mate we have always wanted….something. 

But what if we sought “joy” instead?

The toughest storm can’t even affect it. I know that sounds confusing. Storms in themselves can be terrifying. But the Bible says that in the Lord we have the “fullness of joy.”  The kind that the world can’t control, or influence. It doesn’t matter how strong the storm may seem…this joy comes from the inside. It is God-given.

It is not dependent on anyone doing anything. 

This kind of joy happens when we give our lives to Christ. It is given to us through the Holy Spirit that dwells within all of God’s people. It is part of our inheritance.

There is nothing wrong with being happy. Life is too short and God has been too good to live a miserable life. But, if you want the kind of joy that the world cannot give…the kind that strengthens, the kind that transforms, the kind that comforts, the kind that is everlasting…only God can give you that. 

And all you have to do is just ask, and then believe you have it…

Until next time…

It’s Time to Get to Work!

It’s Time to Get to Work!

I know…I know. I have been missing in action. April was my birthday month, and I decided to take that time to re-group. I wanted to hear from God, because if He is not in it…I don’t want to be in it either. 

I believe God is working on something amazing for His people right now. Of course, He is always working on something amazing, but this is different. So much is going on right now, and dragging your feet is not an option. Not anymore.

Maybe you have been sitting on a dream, or just letting life idly pass you by.

Maybe this is the time to dream bigger, and believe bigger than you ever have before. 

Maybe you have always wanted to go places you have never been, and try things you have never tried. 

God is about to put super to your natural. 

Now is the time to stop waiting and claim your inheritance! The things you have been believing God for…keep believing. You cannot afford to let any opportunities pass you by.  Look for God in everything. Remind God of His word, and speak His word back to Him. God wants to bless you, but He needs you to believe that you should be blessed. 

You have the favor of God on your life. Act like it, and then walk in it. 

Right now, the spirit of fear is taking control, and the enemy is laughing his head off. Really let yourself picture him just sitting there laughing at you biting your nails. And then say to yourself, “NOT THIS TIME!” 

I declare that you will not let your dreams drift away.

This is a new day, and you owe it to God to live the abundant life the Bible speaks about. He wouldn’t have given you those gifts if He didn’t want you to use them, right?

God is just waiting to open doors…and it’s time for you to get to work. 

Until next time…
