All Who Are Thirsty

Placed on my heart and mind this week:

-God always answers prayer, but we often miss it because we are expecting His answer to be in blessing form. He is not just a God who gives, but a God who takes.

-Do you believe in the power of prayer, or do you believe in the power God has to answer prayers?

-Satan cannot be everywhere, for he is not omnipresent. He cannot see your thoughts. To believe that is to hold him beside God. Scripture talks about Satan “prowling around like a roaring lion.” (1 Peter 5:8) He travels.

-You cannot be saved by works. You can never do enough. There is freedom in Christ. There was a transference—He became sin, who knew no sin, so that IN HIM we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

-If you are having trouble forgiving yourself for sin, stop. God has forgiven you, and to not forgive yourself is to hold yourself higher than Him.

-Oh how He loves you.

-God said “let there be light” and there was light. He spoke everything into existence. You are beautiful because God says you are, and because you are created in His very image. Stop picking yourself apart in the mirror. You.Are.Beautiful. There is no question. You just are.

-God’s glory is what defines you.

 

 

I amal and God is overwhelming me in the most incredible of ways.
