Hey guys! Today I thought I would remind us of the importance of living for and like Christ. Not till recently did I realize the true meaning of living for Christ. Since God is in heaven and cannot be here in physical form we must literally be him, and live as him so that people and see him through us. For example, if you couldn't go some where because you or sick or something and had to send someone in your place. Wouldn't you want that person to be a good representation of you and your values? It is the same for God, we are the people that represent God to everyone around us so we have to make sure to live life as Christ would to uplift his will and not our own. That's what it means in the bible when it says to be "living sacrifices" because we have to sacrifice our earthly desires everyday to then turn to God and live like he would in this world. "Present yourself as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God which is your spiritual worship"  Romans 12:1

Wow.

Hey guys! I think every once in a while our focus needs to be reset onto God and our true purpose, which is living for Christ. We are like air filters constantly being attacked with sin and corruption from this world and lots of time we just need to be cleaned out. We need to be reminded that this is not our home and we are not here for earthly pleasures. We are here to glorify the King of Kings and show the world his grace, mercy and unfailing love.

Hey people! (I know 2 posts in one day astonishing) anyways I just wanted to share this motivational thought I had. So I was worrying about school, relationships, the future... like usual, then I stepped back and realized that I waste so much time being afraid that I am screwing up my life, because of a bad grade, or because I said something wrong. God made me the way I am for a perfect reason, and if I didn't have these struggles I wouldn't be able to achieve the purpose God has sent me to do. For example if I got all A's (which I assure you I don't) made I wouldn't go to the college that God wants me to and then I wouldn't meet certain people etc. I read this devotional book called "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young and it is constantly explaining that we should thank God for our struggles because without them 1. we wouldn't be so dependent on God (good thing) 2. it teaches us to trust God 3. we wouldn't be fully equip for the plans God has for us. Luke 12:25,26 says " Who of you worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?" and Proverbs 19:21 says " Many are the plans in a man;s heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." Hope this helps to motivate you guys to trust God's plan! I know once I really began to trust God I truly had peace and life didn't seem so overwhelming! Well night!

Hey Guys! Well yet again it has been awhile. So I am constantly on pinterest and I saw this quote on there when I was feeling down and helpless,and when I read it my spirits were immediately uplifted! I have always conscientiously known that Jesus lived inside me (metaphorically), but how cool is it to think that the power that conquered death is inside us! Wow is that motivational or what! I just want to go climb a huge mountain or something super crazy. I mean this puts a whole new perspective on nothing is impossible. So whenever you feel broken down by the world and think that you are not "qualified" for the road ahead remember that the power that lives inside of you conquered death and remember that "I can do all things through Christ that gives me strength" Philippians 4:13. Thanks for stopping by!
