Be a little Simpler!

"Pride goes before destruction,
    a haughty spirit before a fall." - Proverbs 16:18 NIV 

If anyone has the right to be proud, it's God. God is the Creator of the world, the sea, sky and controls our lives. He gives us more chances than we deserve. I can't fit everything in! But we are the ones who are proud. Us, tiny small people, a bit of God's creation who think we're IT. But if anyone's IT, it's God. We don't deserve all this love and kindness, definitely not. But God gave up His only Son, so we can learn His ways and be with Him. When He was angry with us, we carried on our sinful life and He could have wiped us out there and then. But He didn't. When we boasted about our greatness, He could have sent fire to destroy us  there and then. But He didn't. Learn a little humility and be a little simpler!

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Take Up Your Cross! Plus information about Matthew 10:34-36!

"Then He [Jesus] said to them all: 'Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow Me" - Luke 9:23  The cross example used here means our responsibilities  and/or temptations as Christians. Daily, we fight the Devil and his schemes. Daily we face temptation. But we always overcome come it, if we have faith. Jesus never said that this life, would be a life of freedom! In this world's cycle, there is always an enemy. In this case, Satan, who is boiled over with jealousy at our power and inheritance! Of course, we have our blessings, but daily we must serve Jesus. That is what this verse means. To serve Jesus daily. We must say that He is in control of our lives!  Does this mean we have no peace?  No. We have peace as we serve and follow Jesus wit hour crosses. A loving peace. Warm and tender and not the peace of this world. Let me touch on this verse that many people ask about:  “Do not suppose that I have ...
