Stiving to get closer to Jesus every day and sharing what I learn.
I don’t call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn’t know what his master is doing. But I’ve called you friends because I’ve made known to you everything that I’ve heard from my Father.
– John 15:15 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
What better friend can we have then Jesus Himself?
He certainly has taken upon Himself our suffering and carried our sorrows, but we thought that God had wounded Him, beat Him, and punished Him.
– Isaiah 53:4 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
If Jesus took our grief upon Himself why do we try to take it back?
It’s not that I’ve already reached the goal or have already completed the course. But I run to win that which Jesus Christ has already won for me.
– Philippians 3:12 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
None of us can claim to have reached perfection but we strive to be more like Jesus day by day.
Fight the good fight for the Christian faith. Take hold of everlasting life to which you were called and about which you made a good testimony in front of many witnesses.
– 1 Timothy 6:12 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Nobody promised living for God would be easy but it’s so worth it in the end!
The Holy One has anointed you, so all of you have knowledge.
– 1 John 2:20 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Worldly knowledge may have some value but what’s truly important will be taught to you by the Holy Spirit.
Be merciful as your Father is merciful.
– Luke 6:36 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
If we were as merciful as we are judgmental more people would be drawn to Christ.
But if you are being led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
– Galatians 5:18 (International Standard Version (©2008))
If you let the Holy Spirit guide your actions you will be in the will of God.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.
– Psalm 19:14 (New American Standard Bible (©1995))
Not only can God hear what you speak but He can hear your thoughts too…the devil cannot.
Dear friends, now we are God’s children. What we will be isn’t completely clear yet. We do know that when Christ appears we will be like Him because we will see Him as He is.
– 1 John 3:2 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
We can only imagine what it will be like to be fully in His presence.
I can’t do anything on My own. As I listen [to the Father], I make My judgments. My judgments are right because I don’t try to do what I want but what the One who sent Me wants.
– John 5:30 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Just as Jesus got His marching orders from the Father, so should we get ours from Jesus.
