He is ALWAYS with us!

Do you ever get the feeling of seperation? How about the feeling you get when you think your drifting away from God? Well I have been there too! And let me tell you, its alright! God is not away from you! He is still in you, with you, around you, you name it! God never ever leaves your side! His arms are always wide open for you. There may be so many things that you feel are keeping you away from God. Whether its gossip, hanging out with the wrong people, lust, money, etc. But hey! God is still here for you! He will not leave you! Here is a scripture that may help:(Hebrews 13:5- Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.") This doesnt just have to refer about the love of money keeping you away, but it can be so many more things that you think keeps you drifted away. (Joel 2:13- Rend your heart and not your garmets. Return to the LORD your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and He relents from sending calamity.) WOW! That's awesome! It just shows you how He is on our side! Do not worry or stress about the seperation you might feel. Do something about it! God is waiting for you right now! When situations like this happen, we have the chance to cry out to Him all the time and repent! Just remember that! He is ALWAYS with us. (:

Giving HIM praise!

So praise, what does that mean to you? When you see the dictionary definition for the word, it means applause, approval, admiration; or to say nice things about someone, to compliment. But what does it mean to you? What should we really only be praising? Material things, or a person that fits your entertainment? ABSOLUTELY NOT! All the praise we give out should only be for our Creator in Heaven! The Almighty and our Everlasting Father! To our God! I mean, just think about all He does for us! He is the one that fits our needs! He is the one who is the solution for every problem and dilemma! He is the one that makes us whole and who forgives us for every sin! (Psalm 136:1- Give thanks to the LORD for He is good. His love endures forever!) Not only should we take that one verse in Psalm 136 to heart, but we need to take the whole chapter to heart! It talks about how we need to give thanks to the Lord for many different reasons stated in this chapter. But the main highlight in Psalm 136 is how it says 'His love endures forever' after every verse! I mean EVERY verse! It just shows you that the love He has for us is never ending! And we always need to realize that and give Him all the praise! (Psalm 92:1-3- It is good to praise the LORD and make music to Your name, O Most High, to proclaim Your love in the morning, and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.) So you may think to your self, what can I do to praise God and give Him thanks? Well that choice is totally up to you! There are so many different ways to give the Lord praise! Whether its worshiping Him with or without music, or just sharing intimate prayer time with Him! He just wants our focus and our attention! Just think about this, do you spend more time watching tv or doing some sort of entertainment to fit your wants, or do you spend more time praising God and giving your all to Him? Just think about that.

How Great is HE!

Hey there! I want to start this out by saying, How great is He! By this I am meaning that God is great! All the time! The love that He has for us is so unfailing! His grace is flooding over us! All the things He brings out to us in our lives is so amazing! SO many things He does for us wont even be noticed sometimes, but if you think about it, just look around you and see! He gave us life! How awesome is that! (Genesis 2:7 - the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.) I cant even begin to say how amazing that is! & also, how great is it that He sent His one and only son to die for US! I mean what a sacrifice! Now our sins are being forgiven all the time thanks to Jesus, our saviour! Wow this is so awesome! God is so great!
