Absolutely nothing about our lives surprises God. Because He’s a loving and merciful Father, God delights in knowing that we need Him. When we admit our weak areas and allow The Lord into those areas, we are always made stronger as Devine help comes to our rescue!

God’s grace, strength, power, and peace is more than enough for us! The beautiful thing is that these are all constantly available to us by faith. When we are in need, all we must do is simply ask the Father to replenish or restore what we are in need of.  Referring back to the promises of God keeps the heart hopeful, as we are reminded of God’s goodness towards us.

It’s comforting to know that we can always rely on the Lord. His promises inspire peace! We become more loving, and equally more like Christ when we trust in the promises of God. Here are a few promises that God wants you to know and find comfort in:

God Loves You

“neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:28)

You are Redeemed & Have an eternal home in Heaven

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

God formed You with Intention and He Fully Knows You

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (Psalm 139)

for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. (Philippians 2:13)

God works out his good plan and purpose through each of us. It is through working within us and through us that His overall it gets accomplished.   It’s both comforting to know that when we can’t, we are actually empowered as we allow God to do what we cannot! We aren’t supposed to know how to, because only God does! Surrendering to this truth and resting in it with all- assurance, we find ourselves just where the Lord wants us.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)

We are now able to fully receive God’s power, goodness, and love through surrendering to His will; His way of doing things.  It’s incredibly freeing to come to the realization that it is God who gives strength, grace, and power to accomplish everything there is to accomplish, big things, as well as small things of daily life.

We can do nothing outside of abiding in Christ! When we “try,” we are actually working out of the flesh and works of the flesh will never accomplish good things. This kind of work has selfish motives and will always amount to nothing in the end.

However, as we shift all of our focus on God by walking in love, praying, studying his Word, and applying it to daily life, we are empowered. Allowing God to work within us  gives us proper discernment, wisdom, strength, knowledge, and will always produce good fruit in our lives.

Bible Verses To Further Study God Working Through Us:

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10)

“equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.” (Hebrews 13:21)

“Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands” (Psalm 90:17)

Prayer Starter:

“God, I invite you to continually work through me and within me! I focus on You so that I can walk closely with You each day. Thank you for being Lord of my life.”

Wishing you all a great week!

In Christ, we are made whole. This is because God’s Word is powerfully filled with purpose and truth! Each time we invest time in further developing our relationship with the Lord, we are filled and replinished in whatever it is we are missing. Fellowship with the Lord and simply talking to Him, as the friend He is,  deepens the relationship we have with God. As we become filled with the things of God, life dramatically changes. We begin to look at the world around us quite differently, making the way we experience the world, and our loving God, better and better!

God has a purpose for everyone and for everything. With renewed minds, emotions, and motives, we can live life the best way possible: Seeing absolutely everything through the Father’s eyes! This is why making a commitment to study God’s Word is so important for us all. Yes, it’s a bold step that does take diligence on our part, but the results we get from this commitment are well worth it.

My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. (John 10:10 NLT)

As we become more free to become who God created us to be, we have better relationships with other people, and with ourselves. When we lack nothing, it’s a lot easier to focus on others, developing healthy relationships along the way. Loving, encouraging, and enjoying others leads to a fulfilling life that anyone would be proud of.  So, trust God to heal and to make you whole! You’ll become more Christ-like day by day. Allow God’s Word to refresh your soul!

Bible Verses to Further Study Commitment to God’s Word:

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

“My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.” (Proverbs 3:1-2)
