Happiness

 To live life is not about "happiness" it's about giving your life to the ONLY one that will ever and could ever fill that void in yourself that says, "I feel empty, I am not happy."  No matter where life takes you.  No matter what you do.  Nothing can ever or will ever feel this void.  It's a void that He was only meant to fill.

  In and of ourselves we aren't capable of being "good" or making "good" choices. (Romans 3:10 -As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one)
We are offered the free gift of salvation. He is what makes us good.  We are given an opportunity to surrender our lives to the only one thing that IS good.
 (Romans 10:19-If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.)
 It isn't possible to separate yourself from His love. You could never go "to far" that He won't be waiting for you to surrender with open arms. 
The choice is yours?  His love and grace not only covers your sin when you ask forgiveness but His love abounds will abound in your life. 








Amazing Love

 It is out of our LOVE for Him that we serve. But His love isn't based on if/how we serve. He just loves us. It's unconditional. If we never "do" anything for Him, His love would be exactly the same.


Romans 8:38-39

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,  neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,  neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

No Regrets

I say often that I want to live with no regrets. That I will get out of the boat and walk on water when He calls me.
The place I say that from is not one of pride. I certainly don't have it "together." I'm nothing special. He can use any willing vessel. I say it out of recognition that I have not always done that. Living with the regret of the "if only" isn't something that is fun. I re...fuse to not say "yes" because of fear or viewing something as impossible. I won't allow other peoples voices to be louder than His ever again. I want to challenge you today to cling to Jesus. Let HIS voice be louder than any other in your life. His YES- is all that matters. Also be wise and listen when He says, "NO."


Let His voice be the loudest voice in your life.
