Repentance

Luke 15:10 - "In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God's angels when even one sinner repents."

It's great to have 9 out of 10 be repentant, but 10 out of 10 is even better.  That's what God wants.  He wants us all.  That will give Him the greatest joy.

In most things in life, a 90% success rate is considered fantastic.  But God has higher standards.  He wants 100%.  We should hold ourselves to higher standards as well.

Dear Lord, I know I am not worthy of You.  I am a sinner and I fall short.  Please continue Your patience as I strive to a higher standard for Your glory.  Amen!

God Bless!!!

Humbled

Luke 14:11 - For the proud will be humbled, but the humble will be honored.

God will honor those who are humble and give Him the praise and glory He deserves.  But God will also humble the proud who believe they have no need for God's love.

I've always believed there are twyo types of people in the world:  Those who are humble and those who are about to be.  I want to continue to expeerience God's love and faor, so I choose 'humble'.

Dear Lord, thank You so much for teaching me humility.  I want to know Your love, and I know I can only do that through Your Grace.  Amen!



God Bless!!!

The Door

Luke 13:24 - The door to Heaven is narrow.  Work hard to get in, because many will try to enter.

Getting in to the Kingdom of God requires hard work.  Not just anyone can get in, but most everyone will try.

I work hard every day to show my love and honor for God, but I always believe I can do more and work harder.

Dear God, I thank You for Your gift of salvation and give You all the honor and praise You deserve.  Please continue to shine Your grace upon me.  Amen!

God Bless!!!

Needs

Luke 12:31 - He will give you all you need from day to day if you make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.

God will provide for your every need as long as you give Him your whole heart and make your relationship with Him your first priority.

God is my first priority.  I know I can't achieve anything worth achieving without Him.  And I know that with Him,  I can achieve anything.

Dear Lord, I want You to be my Number One.  I know that I will accomplish all things through Christ who gives me the strength.  Thank You God.  Amen!

God Bless!!!

Seeking

Luke 11:10 - For everyone who asks, receives.  Everyone who seeks, finds.  And the door is opened to everyone who knocks.

If you seek Him, you will find Him.  God wants you, but you have to come to Him.  If you look for Him and ask for His forgiveness and love, He will grant it and save you.

I seek God every day.  I ask for His guidance and forgiveness every chance I get.  He has gotten me through so far, I trust He will continue to do so.

Dear Lord, I thank You for my life and ask that You continue to guide and protect me as I walk down this path that You have set before me.  In Jesus' precious and holy name, Amen!



God Bless!!!

A Plea

Psalm 6:9 - The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will answer my prayer.

When we ask in true faith and humility, God answers.  He is always listening.  We may not get the answers we want, but that's because we're not asking the right questions.

During my prayers, when I'm asking about something, I always include, "Your will be done Lord, not mine."  He has a path for me, and He will show me the way.

Dear God, please continue to guide me where You want me to be.  I know You have good things planned for me.  Your will be done.  Amen!



God Bless!!!

Message

Luke 9:26 - "If a person is ashamed of me and my message, I, the Son of Man, will be ashamed of that person when I return in my glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels."

There was no mistaking Jesus in this passage.  If you deny Him to your fellow man, he will deny you before God.

I could never deny my love and faith in Jesus.  He has meant so much to me in my life.  I can just hope my actions show Him the proper glory and praise.

Dear Lord, I praise You and glorify You above all others.  Please use me to share Your love and Your message to everyone that needs to hear it.  Amen!



God Bless!!!
