When It’s Hard to Keep The Faith, we must remember that life is a constant change, but God’s faithfulness remains the same.
Sometimes we find ourselves unhappy in relationships we never should have been in to begin with. No relationship is perfect, but when does a relationship become unhealthy?
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18) Recently God has placed on my heart, the fact that I’m a professional hoarder of my feelings and emotions. By that I mean – since childhood, I’ve learned how to suppress my fears, hurts and pains instead of fully facing them. Now I do know that during certain times, suppressing my feelings was good in ways of helping me to be strong, but I’ve been doing it…
No person is one-dimensional. Actually, there are three views of every individual: the view that God has of us, the opinions that others hold concerning us, and the perception we have of ourselves. Each of these is quite important. God’s Image … of Us First, let us consider the divine vantage point. This is the assessment that is accurate in every detail. The Lord does not observe people merely outwardly, as humans tend to do; rather, “Jehovah looks on the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). The Lord “knows the hearts of the children of men” (1 Kings 8:39). As the godly…
I know it’s going to take a miracle, but if anybody can do it, I know God can!
So you’re praying and waiting for your Boaz. What if your Boaz is Waiting on You? Sometimes we pray for things we’re not ready for.
Praying for unsaved loved ones is one of the most important things we can do as Christians. The Christian walk, if done correctly, is a mighty struggle. It shouldn’t be easy and free of tension and inner conflict. To be in this world and in His word and Will can and should be a challenge. We have to be constantly working on making ourselves righteous and Holy and acceptable to our God. To show our love for Him, we must be obedient to Christ (John:14:23). As Christians, we are called to be the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13).. We…
Keep God First!
Let’s get straight to the point: I WANT TO GET MARRIED! Yes, I said it, and it’s not a secret. I was that girl who grew up under an awesome example of a Godly marriage; My parents. The point is I’ve always wanted to get married. Here is the thing though; I wanted marriage more than I wanted to know God. You see, I love God and all of that, but I loved the idea of marriage even more. I would stalk young married couples via YouTube and social media. I would spend hours looking at Instagram and Facebook posts…
Turn to God and know that He is already working on your behalf. Here are 3 Biblical Truths To Remember When You’re Struggling…
When your expectations lead to disappointment, it can feel like 3 steps backwards. Here’s a little encouragement.
“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” (Philippians 4:12) Nowadays it’s almost impossible to be content because we always want the new things out. The new phone, the new outfit, the new make up, everything new. We don’t necessarily NEED it, but we WANT it. Life is never enough, we always want more and we always think that we need more. It’s kind of funny…
“I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5) I love the opportunity to walk alone at times for I find that it is very therapeutic and allows me time to meditate and spend time with God without distraction. But, sadly, there are many people in the world that are alone not because they want to be, but because of tragedy or broken relationships. For example, an elderly couple that had been married for sixty years and then all of a sudden, the husband dies and leaves his wife behind and then shortly thereafter you hear of her dying…
Too many people are focused on the wrong things. Here are 10 relationship goals every Christian couple should have…
I’m a big fan of schedules. I like to make a list of tasks, crossing out each one as it is accomplished. But there are days I don’t accomplish much on my list: I get interrupted, things go wrong and I sit down at the end of the day frustrated and angry at how fruitless those hours seemed to be. Perhaps your frustration doesn’t come from being interrupted, but from a difficult friendship or the stress of a research paper deadline. Perhaps, like me, you struggle to keep a good attitude when anger and frustration enter your heart, and your…
Real love leads you closer to God, not pulls you away.
And I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Yet they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 2:18-19) We work so hard in this life. We put in long hours at the office and we work diligently to keep our homes in order. We achieve and we attain. We strive for things and reach our goals.…
I learned a lot while attending a Christian liberal arts college. One of the biggest things was that the millennial generation, their unique challenges notwithstanding, could change the world. The first time I heard this I was inspired, but what started as inspiration began to build into anxiety. Words like “calling” and “vocation” sound great until you realize you don’t know yours. I felt like I had to figure out how I would change the world forever, how I would make my mark. But several years of walking in all sorts of wrong directions taught me a few things…
Before I was married, I enjoyed the single life. It was fun for me? hanging out with my girls almost every weekend, taking road trips, not having to check in with anyone about where I was going and not having to let anyone know when I would be returning. The single life definitely had its moments of enjoyment. However, after I said “I do,” I acknowledged there were some actions that couldn’t join me in marriage. In order to make a relationship work, I believe there are certain behaviors married folks just shouldn’t do. Here are 10 signs that you…
There is a Geico commercial that features a man in his garage obviously organizing it. In his hand is a lamp that he is rubbing with a cloth which (naturally) summons a genie. True to form the genie asks the man, “What is your wish?” Getting over his initial shock and joy at having found a genie he asks, “Ok, I wish I had a million bucks.” Poof! A million male deer (bucks) appear in the man’s garage and yard. Although this is a more humorous take on genies taking wishes literally, I find that it tends to be true…
