God's Purpose or Mine?

"He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side..." (Mark 6:45)

We tend to think that if Jesus Christ compels us to do something and we are obedient to Him, He will lead us to great success. We should never have the thought that our dreams of success are God's purpose for us. In fact, His purpose may be exactly the opposite. We have the idea that God is leading us toward a particular end or a desired goal, but He is not. The question of whether or not we arrive at a particular goal is of little importance, and reaching it becomes merely an episode along the way. What we see as only the process of reaching a particular end, God sees as the goal itself.
What is my vision of God's purpose for me? Whatever it may be, His purpose if for me to depend on Him and on His power NOW. If I can stay calm, faithful, and unconfused while in the middle of the turmoil of life, the goal of the purpose of God is being accomplished in me. God is not working toward a particular finish- His purpose is the process itself. What He desires for me is that I see "Him walking on the sea" with no shore, no success, nor goal in sight, but simply having the absolute certainty that everything is all right because I see "Him walking on the sea" (6:49). It is the process, not the outcome that is glorifying to God.
God's training is for now, not later. His purpose is for this very minute, not for sometime in the future. We have nothing to do with what will follow our obedience, and we are wrong to concern ourselves with it. What people call preparation, God sees as the goal itself.
God's purpose is to enable me to see that He can walk on the storms of my life right now. If we have a further goal in mind, we are not paying enough attention to the present time. However, if we realize that moment by moment obedience is the goal, then each moments as it comes is precious. ~By Oswald Chambers

The Heart

"The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? "I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve.""— Jeremiah 17:9-10

U carryin ur cross?!@#$

♥If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his Father & Mother,wife & children,brothers and sisters and yes,His own life also...And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me...So, likewise whoever does not forsake all that He has cannot be my disciple.Luke 14:26-27,33 Are u currently paying the price of carrying your cross to Jesus? If your answer is no, examine what or who is in your life that is hindering you. Ask Jesus to take it away. Jesus helps you carry your Cross to Victory. PRICELESS.

Leave It To God ♥

♥ Leave everything to God. Jesus Christ is alive. We don't worship a dead God. God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ are truly alive. Let us pray today and put it all in His might hands. In Jesus Christ's Mighty Name. Amen ♥

Narrow Gate

♥ "Enter by the narrow gate...Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to LIFE..." Matt 7:13-14 Ain't that the TRUTH! It's NEVER easy living through the narrow gate. But what other choice do we have?! We do it because we LOVE. LOVE Jesus Christ. LOVE others. LOVE God. We know that God LOVES us. Jesus Christ died for us out of LOVE. How BLESSED are we!!! Awesome God! ♥

Never Alone ♥

♥ Be strong and of good courage,do not fear nor be afraid of them;for the Lord your God, He IS THE ONE WHO GOES WITH YOU.HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU. Deuteronomy 31:6 God is always with us. Jesus Christ IS ALWAYS WITH US. What does that mean? THINK ABOUT IT! NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO IN YOUR LIFE, YOU ARE NEVER EVER ALONE. Satan wants us to think we are alone. We aren't! Don't believe the LIES, BELIEVE IN THE ONE & ONLY TRUTH! Jesus is the TRUTH, HE LOVES US SO MUCH WE ARE ALWAYS WITH HIM!!! NOW THAT'S REAL LIVING!!! ♥

People Love Trials

♥ People like the word "trial." Sooo many people are afraid of "committment," even with their wireless devices. lol It's like a lot of people don't want to get married because they are scared that it's gonna end in divorce. Well, if you don't have Jesus Christ at the center of your marriage then it's not gonna last forever. Build it on Him. Actually, if you first put Christ as your #1 PRIORITY in your life- all your relationships (children, parents, peers...) change and improve DRASTICALLY! God's glory will shine through YOU! ♥
