He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not?

The circumstances in our life can sometimes make us wonder, "Does God really love us?" We rejoice in times of joy but we doubt his love in times of troubles and failures. The whole he loves me he loves me not has pondered through my mind recently, but I am always reminded of Gods greater love for me. It is very hard to rejoice in times of hurt and failures, but we have to remember the greater picture in our lives. God's love can overcome any obstacle we face in life. He always wants the best for us so we need to trust his timing and put our hope in him alone. Romans 5:3-5 says, "Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us into shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." God always knows what we need, and he will give us the opportunities to process our faith and character in him. Never give up when things are down because God is always preparing something better for you because he loves you.

Life will always throw stopping blocks into our paths, but it is how we overcome them that determines our future. Sometimes the things we wish or plan for don't happen. You may not understand, but trust that God knows what is better for you. Proverbs 19:21 says, "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the lords purpose that prevails." As much as we work hard and use our strength, at the end of the day all the glory comes from God and is used for his purpose. Everything good that happens comes from the Lord so allow him to establish each step in your life. Never doubt God's love for you because his love for us endures forever. Psalm 100:5 says, "For the Lord is Good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness contiues through all generations." Do not forget that God's love is always fighting for us, it is enduring in faithfulness and mercy. There is no mistake or failure that can hinder God's love for you. 

Satan may try to take everything that we have, but he can never take away God's love for us. Do not let your failures doubt God's love for you, because he is always wanting us to practice our faith and trust in him. When you give your life into the hands of God and love him with all your heart, he will never let you go and his favor will be upon you. You need hope to endure this lifelong journey, so allow your hope to be based on God's love for you. So remember, God does love you.

Living Life With No Limits

Do you believe in miracles? If yes, do you believe that miracles can happen in your own life? It can be hard for many of us to believe in the things that are outside our own capabilities, or what knowledge and proof deems impossible. I have recently been battling and limiting myself with my own capabilities. Closing doors that could have possibly been open for me. In life we tend to set our minds to what we are capable of doing, but I've learned that we shouldn't let anything hold us down. Let your goals, dreams, and faith in God lead you into overcoming the challenges in your life. Don't let your capabilities hold you down because with God anything is possible. Matthew 19:26 says, "Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible'". 

When we live by faith in God, our lives can have no limits. God's ability is more than our mind can fathom. Through Christ we can do things that common sense tells us we can't do. Living by faith will open doors into your life that you never knew was possible. Our mind can understand only to a certain point, but faith sets no limits and boundaries. Trust God more than your own knowledge because he knows more than you know and his way is always perfect. 1 Corinthians 1:19 says, "For it is written: 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and Gentiles. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength."Allow God to work into your life and you will start seeing his miraculous ways upon your life. Miracles are the byproducts of faith. Miracles work outside the capabilities and knowledge of science and are things that common sense says shouldn't happen. When you surrender your life to God and have faith in him, you will accomplish greater things that are outside your capabilities. 

Allow God to set the boundaries in your life. Rely on him more than your own wisdom and you will see that God can surprise you. Trust your life in God's hands because he will never let you go. Let faith be the cornerstone of your everyday lives. When we depend on our own strength, we tend to find ourselves failing or frustrated. Allocate God's strength into your life because God has everything you need to be successful. He is the provider of all miracles.  So remember, live your life with no limits.
