Jesus is the way, He is the Truth He is life. Jesus is the key to life. in your hands you may have held a lot of different keys trying to overcome in your own strengt h and ability . the key that unlocks and open's the door to freedom that you have tried and tried to open is Jesus. you have been using the wrong key. lets call all those wrong keys baggage and perspectives. you ever see a large key ring with many keys ? you ever see someone who has a large key ring with many keys search for a certain key and they couldn't pick it out by looking at all the keys, they had to struggle and search and try every key before they found the right key to open the door that they were trying to open. many lost are using the wrong key, for some its addictions...

what are you currently trying to gain that is causing you to lose your soul ? think about it what have you been pursuing more then God. Luke 9:25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? Luke 12:15 And He said unto them, take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abudance of the things which he possesseth don't let the devil deceive you. it may look like your gaining ground high paying job new things etc.. when actually you are losing ground fast as your path widens more and more towards destruction. think about it how much time do you spend stressing over when this why that how this how that? all the world can offer is temporary happiness , true joy is found in Christ alone. you just have to decide what do you want who will you serve and learn to be content.

Love is not the absence of suffering, but the realization that someone is worth the pain.” Jesus endured much suffering but because of His great Love He the pain was worth it He kept loving. His actions said they are worth it the pain is worth it. a punishment we rightly deserved Jesus endured for us. Jesus never gave up He endured all the way to the cross proving that love is stronger. arms stretched out in mercy reaching for us on the cross and He reaches for us even now . read Matthew 11:28-30 today and come to Jesus.

never lose your focus in the storms no matter how hard things get no matter how much chaos or confusion comes your way don't lose your connection keep praying and clinging to hope that is found in our Lord Jesus Christ. as I posted earlier it's easy to quit and give up but it's worth it to fight and stand tough. be courageous in christ it's through Him that victory is achieved don't let satan dec eive. whatever your going through no matter how much it doesn't make sense hold on Don't give up. sometimes we feel like we are drowning in a mess of circumstances and we feel like letting go and giving up. let me ask you this if you were swimming out in a lake and you looked up not realizing how far you have drifted from shore and you begin to struggle to make it back and all the waves are crashing against you and you become weary tired and weak would you quit swimming would you give up ? probably not right ? so don't give up now. if you were drowning in the wa...

Don't complain when you taste your own medicine reaping back what you have sown. you want mercy and compassion from people sow it. you don't want to be gossiped about stop gossiping. you don't want people to look down on you then stop doing it to others. you don't like people being critical to you, stop being critical to others, come off of your high horse before the fall hurts you. maybe the fall from your high horse is what it will take for you to truly surrender your life to God, I don't know Im not Him. sometimes people just do those things because . it doesnt always mean that your guilty of it yourself but some are and are now reaping what they have sown

A forgiving person has much to offer . an unforgiving person has nothing good to offer. forgiveness is backed by actions. one can say they forgive you but when their actions clearly say that they haven't rather then argue back just stand still let God be your defense and pray for that person. you cannot expect someone to believe you when you say I forgive you yet your actions bash the person and you keep throwing their flaws in their face repetitively bringing up everything they have ever said or done wrong. forgiveness extends mercy love and compassion. you cant truly forgive and extend mercy compassion and love when you haven't truly accepted it From God or when you haven't truly forgiven yourself.

some people just want what the world has to offer and what the world labels as success . through the motions with God they go trying to serve two masters loving one and hating the other. wearing a mask wanting everyone to think well of them people pleasing is their motivation not realizing what they treasure and value clearly shows. no real desire for the things of God its proven in their daily pursuits . seeking attention from the world , mind of bandage chained to the enemy's control . viewing things with a twisted perspective . may God lead you to a new perception a new heart and new mind new path new direction and open your blind eyes to see

Too many times we view life troubles hardships obstacles and struggles from the wrong perspective and too many times we miss the lessons meant to be taught during these times and we miss an opportunity for growth & forward progress and so the cycle repeats again in attempt to teach us what we were supposed to learn the last time . Too many times when we have arguments & disagreements we see the other persons flaws and not our own. During those times God uses it to reveal our character flaws in attempt to bring correction and change to our hearts. We often miss the lesson because we are too focused on the other persons faults and flaws . in tough times we can choose to become resentful or choose to let God use the detours in our lives to make us stronger and more like Him. the choice is up to us draw closer to God or become resentful in the tough times

There comes a time when you have to get the weeds out of your garden of life so you can grow. Weeds choke out the life from the plant in the garden weeds sit there producing nothing but yet wanting everything . There are people like weeds they want everything handed to them while they produce nothing . They are taking from your life and only add negative to it , while like that weed on the garden they live off of your nutrients sucking the life out of you.
