I’m so stoked about God that I had to get out of bed and share it with people. It is possible to get so filled with joy in God that you’re happy always despite your life situation.
I’m a dude who knows Jesus is real. Jesus is LORD!
God loves you so much that you can’t know it even if you know this. God loves you more than any mother loved her child. God died for you because he wants to be your best friend forever.
God spoke to me,”Good News” and I received a Good News Bible.
Internalize that you’re loved by God.
God loves everyone. God loves people who were sinners and turn from their ways to love him back. God loves people who were sinners and struggle to get out of willful sins. God loves people who don’t figure they did much wrong, but still accept salvation. God loves people who even don’t know he is real at all yet. God even loves people who hate him. God loves us all.
How much does God love us? Love is God’s biggest strength. Look around creation. See how amazing and creative stuff is that God made. Know God loves more than he is good at creating stuff, and he’s good at making stuff. Remember God even was willing to die for us. That is how much he loves us.
Our response to God should be avoiding evil and being good. If God loves and is good to everyone down here, we should be good and loving to them too in order to honor what God loves. The world would have less strife with less hate and more love. More love can lead to more peace.
My prayer is that you hold it close and always remember that God loves you. Jesus is LORD!
We should be willing to take the short end of the stick, and not be so grabby grabby for stuff.
You may have heard the saying,”He who dies with the most toys win.” But Christianity teaches the opposite. We hear many of the last will be first and many of the first will be last. We hear to be great in the kingdom of God, we should be servants of all.
We hear from Jesus that if someone sues us for something, to give them more than what they won in court.
And we learn from Jesus that we serve either God or money. We’ll love one and hate the other.
And even the Old Testament says greed is bad and a sin.
So there are two attitudes in life. One is that I’m going to get rich or die trying. The other is to go through casually and do the right thing in every situation. One attitude is all for oneself. The other attitude is out for others. We can’t take money with us, but we can keep our love into the next life. Love is normally the first thing tossed out the window for corporate raiders to get wealthy. They throw away the only thing they can keep to gain that which does not last.
I’m a dude who knows God is real. So the notion to be good and loving to all isn’t just a notion, it is a command. Get a heads up that God is real and that he loves you no matter what you’ve done. Just get it together, money isn’t the end all be all of life. In fact it is mostly just a distraction. Be willing to get less if you’re doing the right thing. Be willing to take the hard road if its the right way to go. Certainly don’t step on people to get more money. If anything, we should be helping the poor more.
My prayer is that you have more faith in Jesus. I pray that you know you’re loved. And I pray that you show love to everyone you’re capable of. Be good and honest out there. Jesus is real. Jesus is LORD!
