Jesus Loves You.

It’s through the storms of life that we enter the kingdom of God. Without the storm, there’d be no need for God. For what is the point of a God when everything is running smoothly. If life were easy, there’d be no need for God, no need for us to call on Him and it’s only during our greatest time of need, that some of us will ever turn to God.

What we read will either move us toward success, or take us further away. If we read trash, it takes us nowhere. We need to raise our standard. We need to choose uplifting books, tv, movies, you tube. The bible is the greatest success book of all time, but most don’t know it.

We are what we read, but if we read without meditating, it’s the same as eating without digesting; you take in the food but you don’t absorb the nutrients. The secret of spiritual growth is meditation. The breadth of scripture is provided through reading, the depth, through meditating. The bible is like a kaleidoscope, with new colours and patterns emerging at every turn of the page.

We know Jesus spoke in parables, but did you know more of the bible is written in parables than just the words written in red? If you want to unravel the mysteries of this great book, you need to meditate on the portions of the bible in which you have the least understanding. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what you need to know and He will show you.

Keep a notebook handy and write what comes to mind. Take notice of your thoughts before and after reading your bible, also what scriptures and you tube clips come to mind. Look up what you don’t understand and write it in your book. As you do this, you’ll see a message unfolding, a personal message, a message which will take you forward in life.

There’s peace on the other side of warfare. Whatever battle you’re in today, once the battle is done, you will experience peace, but only if you stick with it and don’t give up in the midst of the war.

Jesus isn’t mad with you. He loves you. It doesn’t matter if you’re not doing everything right. God doesn’t love you any less, just because you’re imperfect at times. All the great men of the bible ‘mucked something up,’ but that didn’t stop God’s greatest works being done through them.

Stand in faith throughout your conflict. Believe in God for whatever promise you’re waiting on. Believe in Him for the impossible you wish to see, for He is the miracle worker. More is available than you ever thought possible. God has more for you; all you need to do is believe.

Jesus loves you. Praise the Lord. Thank you, Jesus.
