You belong!

Knowing who we are

"It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for..." 

-Ephesians 1:11-12 MSG

Unless we take time to get to know Christ Jesus, our lives will be spent walking around this world aimlessly, not know who we truly are or what we are supposed to be living for.  Life will be a revolving circle of 'BLAH'.

Get to know Jesus - your quality and quantity of life depends on it.

"... Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life."

The wise will stumble...

"Some of the wise will stumble so that they may be refined, purified, and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time." 

-Daniel 11:35

When we seem to always stumble and fall short of the God's glory it only means that we are being beautified, edified, quantified, and justified, by His great might and power.  

So embrace the stumbles, for you are being purified and made spotless, my friend!  Yes, you are God's glory!

No corruption within

"... Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.  At this, the administrators and satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel, but they were unable to do so.  They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent." 

-Daniel 6: 3-5 NIV

Choose to be the Daniel in this story!  You'll find an abundance of the Most High's favor which will stand without question, fault, or blame.

God won't give glory unless...

GOD WON'T GIVE YOU THE THE GLORY UNLESS YOU ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AS BEING YOUR GLORY GIVER!

Wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning

 "He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.”

-Daniel 2:21 NIV

Those who seek God’s wisdom through prayer and his Word will find it. and those who truly dedicate themselves to knowing him, will!

God gives us what we need

“To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning...”

- Daniel 1:17

God gives us what we need to grow and succeed without cost, bribe, or hear-say.

However, the world gives us what it gets paid to give us - there is always a fee for us when all is said and done.  Hence, make sure you want to pay that fee before you dive in to what the world claims to be able to give you.

Pride always loses

Glory is just around the corner

When you feel like everyone is against you and all you are trying to do is the very best that you can do, remember these words:

Glory Just Around the Corner

Friends, when life gets really difficult, don’t jump to the conclusion that God isn’t on the job. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.

The person who believes

"Habakkuk had it right: "The person who believes God, is set right by God - and that's the real life." "

-Galatians 3:11-12 MSG

Simple: Believing in God equals a real and meaningful life; believing in anyone or anything else equals a false and meaningless life.

Friends, God gives us the choice of which way we choose to go in life - Him or the world - so whichever way we choose will be where our fate takes us.  

Please choose God, He definitely has a fate that is worth living for.

The life you are living is not yours, it is God's

Limitations are for the glory of God

“We don’t just put up with our limitations; we celebrate them…”

-2 Corinthians 13:5-9 MSG

Limitations?  You bet!!!  The more we have, the more should praise God and celebrate; he is not only working within each and every one of us, but he’s glorifying himself through us for each and every one!!!

He is amazing!

Pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace.

Warn others before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value and only ruins those who listen.

Avoid godless chatter.

Turn away from wickedness.

Flee from evil. 

Pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace.

Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments.

-Adapted from 2 Timothy 2:14, 19, 22-23

Remember, quarreling, godless chatter, wickedness, evil, and foolishness and stupid arguments, all have one ending - RUIN! - and the person(s) choosing to engage in such activity will soon find such fate.  

Therefore, stay away!!

God's strength comes through our weaknesses

God's grace is enough; it's all you need.

God's strength comes into its own in your weakness.

In essence, The weaker you get, the stronger you become. 

-Adapted from 2 Corinthians 7-10 MSG

It's what God says that matters

"... What you say about yourself means nothing in God's work.  It's what God says about you that makes the difference."

“… the best thing you can do right now is to finish what you started… not let good intentions grow stale… you’ve got what it takes… go for it… do what you can, not what you can’t…”

-2 Corinthians 8:10-20 MSG

https://i.pinimg.com/236x/18/28/64/18286488af520201647d46a658f4db10.jpg

You’ve got what it takes!

Keep going!

Keep moving forward!

Don’t give up!

And remember, do what you can do and God will do what you can’t do.

Make a clean break - you don’t need it anymore

”... let’s make a clean break with everything that defiles or distracts us, both within and without.  Let’s make our entire lives fit and holy temples for the worship of God.” 

-2 Corinthians 7:1 MSG

United with the Messiah

“… anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new.  The old life is gone, a new life burgeons!...”

-2 Corinthians 5:16-20 MSG

Life is too short to live in darkness, to live in doom because of your past and/or present mistakes.  Therefore, seek God for a new life and a fresh start.  Let him put the darkness in your life behind you.  Let him make you anew, make you whole and fill you with his light!  You are his precious child, and you are called for mighty works and greatness… grasp hold and go for it!!

Christ in you - the hope of Glory

”... To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

-Colossians 1:28-29

You are special, you are needed!  My friend, you are a replica of Christ.  When the world looks at you they see, (whether they know it or not), the light of Christ - the hope of glory.  Therefore,never discount who you are, how you look, where you came from, your education, etc., because this darkened world needs you ... they need Christ Jesus!
