spiritualinspiration:

Do you see yourself as a son or daughter of the Most High God? Do you see yourself as royalty, worthy of His blessing today? How can we expect His goodness if we go around feeling defeated, depressed, weak, and unworthy? We have to remember that God has given us a royal robe of righteousness through His Son, Jesus. We are already approved by God. We are already accepted by Him and adopted into His family. We are royalty!

“Well,” you might say, “We are just all old sinners saved by grace.” The truth is, we were old sinners, but when we came to Christ, we were made new. We’re not sinners anymore; we are sons and daughters of the Most High God. We have been changed. We have been born into a new family. We are new creatures.

The next time you start feeling defeated, rise up and say, “I am royalty! I am the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath!” Remember, you are a child of the Most High God, and He has victory and blessing in store for you today!

"The world screams, “We are what we do, we are what we have, we are what people think about us!” Christ whispers, “You are mine and I am yours."

spiritualinspiration:

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all (2 Corinthians 4:17, NIV.)

Aren’t you glad that your troubles and trials are only temporary? In fact, today’s verse tells us they are momentary. Compared with eternity, our troubles don’t last long at all! As you stand strong in faith during times of adversity, scripture says that you are achieving eternal glory. When you confess your trust and reliance on God, you are passing the test.

If you are in the middle of tough times today, look to Jesus! The Bible says that He is the Author and Finisher of your faith. He is the one who writes faith on your heart and then develops it to completion on the inside of you. Your part is to open your heart and choose words of faith and victory.

Remember, your words set the course for your life. As you remind yourself that your troubles are only momentary and confess your trust and hope in Him, you will see His hand moving in your life. Focus on that eternal glory every day. As you do, you’ll move forward in victory and experience all He has for you!

Note To Self:

God put me here for a reason. I am His light and I am brightening the darkest of places. I am His salt, preserving myself for His glory. I am His child, I am loved more than I could know. He is my creator, my friend, my father, my all. He is for me and He will never leave me. He is my everything and I will not let anything change that. I am trusting Him, because He knows best.

Intentions of his actions

lifehasbegun:

I think we have a misconception of what love is. Love is not making out and having sex. Love is not compliments that make us feel beautiful. Love is more than that. Because any lustful man can tell us he loves us, that were beautiful and kiss us. We have to learn to read the intentions of his words and actions. We need to guard our heart.
