~Doubt on the mind~

Have you ever wondered what makes you do the things that you do and it makes you realize that you were so blind before?

Many of our false actions are caused by an attempt to heal old scars but what we don't realize is that we are only causing deeper damage to ourselves and even to others around us by those actions, they even say that history repeats itself and that's why when there is one failed test..the same test often follows until you pass it. 

We need to stop pushing the rewind button in our lives and instead push the stop and restart buttons on our lives,

Maybe then we won't have to face what we once had to face but we can smile by making the right choices here and now, 

Though we've failed before..we can start anew and trust in God to help us to get past those failures. 

Maybe if we spent more time not on what others think or even how it makes us feel but think more on what God is thinking about our actions, then we wouldn't have to suffer so much.

What does God want for us? 

What does God ask of us? 

Think about it..

In my mind there are two things that God wants for us and asks us to do for him..

#1. God wants us to be healthy and unharmed but living in the world these days there are mainly things sent that are going to harm us..

these things are not from God but still exist in the world and by our sinful nature we can get caught up in the sinful moments if we're not careful, 

But then there's God's plan and his plan is simple, He wants to comfort us, to stick closer than a brother, his plans will not harm us but will only protect us from the plans of this world..if we choose his plan for our lives, 

though satan keeps trying hard to push us down on the ground to prevent us from our purpose, he cannot do so as long as we keep speaking the things of God into our lives! 

We can be conquerors in Christ instead of being followers of the worlds demise!

#2. What God wants from us is quite simple.. He wants us to obey his commandments, 

He wants us to trust in him fully according to his word and he wants us to trust in his plan for our lives..

The difference between God's plans and the plans of this world is that God's plans always lead to a destination but the plans of this world and satan's plans are uncertain and you don't know where they'll lead to or what comes in your life along the way of that path..

I don't know about you but I want to finish well in this life and I want to have peace that only comes from God..

it doesn't come from this world and Satan tries to tempt us into thinking that it's a dream come true when it's only a nightmare posing as what you dream of! I'm going to share with you the verse that I have gone to thousands of times and it always offers me encouragement!

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

~Dani

~Digging Deep!~

Have you ever been at a point where you couldn't find the words,

you couldn't find the strength to move, you couldn't even find any comfort from anyone because there wasn't a comforting word for the place that you are currently facing in your life!

It reminds me of the verse in the bible that says in Psalms 69:20

“Reproaches have broken my heart,

so that I am in despair.

I looked for pity, but there was none,

and for comforters, but I found none.”

Although sometimes we feel as though our precious world is crashing down around us, and we feel like no one truly understands the pain that we are suddenly feeling, 

we can fully trust that God has us in the palm of his hand and even though our logical part is still in doubt or is simply afraid..we can depend on our faith and seek his comfort in prayer,

When we feel like everything is at an end..we have to look to God at that difficult time because he alone has the comfort that we are needing and even though the storms of this life are crazy..God is the peace that we need to walk out of the storms that this life is putting in our path!

Sometimes when something bad is happened or happening in our lives..we cannot think logically..we have to think Godically because the way we think is from only one angle but the way God thinks is from every angle and around every single curve, he sees what we need, what we don't need, he sees into the far future, he sees our past, he knows our every dream and even our secret fears, when bad things happen..the things that he doesn't allow to happen..it's his promise to us that he will be there for us whenever they do..He Knows everything And He is always there! He loves us and hurts when we hurt! 

So when all else fails and you feel hopeless and in the most lost feeling that you've ever felt before..Reach out to God and allow him to comfort you because God has a way that heals our brokenness of heart and even the brokenness of a crushed spirit!

Galatians 6:1-2

“Bear One Another's Burdens

​Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”

~Dani

~Verse of the day~

Psalms 108:1-4

“My heart is steadfast, O God!

I will sing and make melody with all my being!

Awake, O harp and lyre!

I will awake the dawn!

I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the peoples;

I will sing praises to you among the nations.

For your steadfast love is great above the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.”

~Dani

~Unanswered Prayers~

Have you ever prayed to God about something only to find out that your prayer had not been answered and down the road you thought..

"Thank God that He didn't answer that prayer!"

I think about it all of the time, I'm so happy that God knows what I need and He knows my heart's desire, even when at times I don't fully understand why some things don't work out ideally as I would have figured in my mind..

thinking back now, I am so glad that God took care of me and guarded me from walking don't a certain path, 

even when we stray off course at times..God knows what we are called to do and what purpose we have over us!

Rest easy today and when you find out that your prayers weren't answered..don't fret because God has a much better plan, job, person or whatever it may be..He has that special thing in mind for you and it will be so right for you that you'll also be left saying "Thank You" to Him!

Proverbs 19:21

"Many are the plans in the mind of a man,

but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand."

~Running Against The Clock~

God help us, what is this world coming to?! 

This world has been an evil place for many years now but we cannot deny that it's become even more evil in the past few months!

There are wars and even rumors of weapons that are being made! 

there is a deeper hatred for our Godly leaders like never before! 

there are people that have hardened their hearts to the love of God! 

there are people closing their eyes to the brutal murders of babies that are perfectly healthy inside the womb! 

There are people who are going into churches and leaving unchanged because their sins are being accepted instead of becoming aware that they need to give their sins to God and they need to change!

there are people who aren't happy with who God made them to be so they are having cosmetic and extensive surgeries done because they aren't happy and they think they will be when they change themselves dramatically! 

there are even sick people who are hurting innocent children and using them as their personal Ginny pigs..if people are going to sin, why do they have to bring innocent children into the mix?! 

These are many of the things that just hurts my heart! I cannot stand to think about it all because it makes me so sad and upset at the same time, but at the same time it makes me want to pray for these things..especially those poor children who need to be safe and loved and taught to appreciate themselves the way that God made them to be! 

If only we could all learn of God's love for us and his wonderful plans made for each of us individually..

then maybe we could make this world less evil!

If only we would learn to trust God again..then we would come to know the true happiness and satisfaction that we are longing for..that the world cannot fill!

Maybe if we thought more about how it would effect the future generations..we would want to change for the better!

If we would ban abortions instead of turning a blind eye to their silent screams..perhaps we would be able to sleep at night again!

This world is an evil place and if we don't turn away from the sins of this world and stop allowing the world to tug at our heartstrings..then we would surely change this world in the name of Jesus! It's not too late to ask him for forgiveness and it's not too late to make it to Heaven! 

We aren't promised tomorrow..none of us know how long of a life we have to live..Don't allow another hour, another day, another week, another month, another year go by without making it right with God because when it gets done to the last second..your time will be up. Don't let that happen, please. 

I want to take as many people to Heaven as I possibly can because once this world isn't a blessed place anymore..no one will want to live here, it won't have the glory that it once had and it won't be worth it anymore, the peace you once had will be gone and your dreams will fade away to become nightmares because this world will be nothing but an evil place to live in and the last place that you would want to wake up to.

Revelation 22:12-21

“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”

The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.”
