Finding purpose tip of the day: Persevere!!

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
James 1:2-4 NIV

Verse copies from Bible.com

Keep moving forward towards your victories and purposes God has planned for your life. 

Let nothing and no one hold you back!

Persevere!!! 

The real and living God in action

“No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.” 1 John 4:12

Loving another with grace, compassion, and understanding, helps see the real, and living, God in action; the real and living God that loves them unconditionally; the real and living God that will lead them to eternal life.

You are God’s living spirit in the flesh, so help others get to know Him by simply loving them to pieces.

Ask BIG

“… but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that you joy (gladness, delight) may be full and complete.” John 16:24

I believe that this verse isn’t telling us to ask for one thing over and over, and then if it is granted us, we stop asking.  No, I believe this verse wants us to ask Him for all of our wants and dreams, all of the secret desires of our heart, no matter how many we have, no matter how impossible they may seem.  Some may not be granted quickly, but they will be granted in God’s time, and in God’s way -  not a moment too soon, not a moment too late.

So, believe BIG, and ask BIG.  God is a BIG God, and He grants BIG wishes.  He wants your love, devotion, and friendship.  As well, He wants you to be blessed.  Remember, God can, and will, do the impossible, but until you ask, you may never be able to experience it!

 

God will renew you into wholeness

"... This is God speaking.

'I'll see to it that my temple is rebuilt.'. Zechariah 1:16-17

Feel like you are falling apart mentally, physically - both?  Well, you aren't alone when you are a child of God, he is with you.  And, thanks be to Jesus, who died on the cross for us, all you have to do is run to him and he will take you in his arms and start from the ground up; He will heal you, physically and mentally.  Yes, my friend, he will see to it that you are rebuilt, (renewed, strengthened, healed, whole, refreshed)!  So, get ready, you are about to have a new life, filled and complete by Jesus - your healer, your redeemer. 

Hallelujah

Look! Your Savior comes.

“…’Look! Your Savior comes.

Ready to do what he said he’d do,

prepare to complete what he promised.’ “

Isaiah 62:12

The key:  Look!  Look with the eyes of your heart, listen with the ears of your heart.  God is doing great things in your life: creating light in the darkness, making your crooked places straight – creating the road to your miracles and blessings.  So, again, look! God wants you to see him - God wants to bless you.

Broken pieces

"God made my life complete

when I placed all the pieces before him.

When I got my act together,

he gave me a fresh start...

God rewrote the text of my life

when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes."

Psalm 18:20-24

Life in pieces?  Life a mess?  Yes?  Then, it is time to give it all - A.L.L - to God, including yourself, and let him put you and your life back together, give you a fresh start, and a give you life filled with his glory - he will, he wants to.  Remember, however, you have to allow him to; you have to give him all, all, all, of you!

God makes life complete

2 Samuel 22:21-25The Message (MSG)

^21-25 God made my life complete
    when I placed all the pieces before him.
When I cleaned up my act,
    he gave me a fresh start.
Indeed, I’ve kept alert to God’s ways;
    I haven’t taken God for granted.
Every day I review the ways he works,
    I try not to miss a trick.
I feel put back together,
    and I’m watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life
    when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.

Clean up your act, stop your sins, give control to God, and start living the life you should be living!

They shall hunger no more

“They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;  neither shall the sun smite them, nor any scorching heat. [Isa. 49:10; Ps. 121:6]” Revelation 7:16

Once you surrender complete (emphasis on complete) control of your life over to God, He takes control, and hunger, thirst, and pain will be things you need not worry over ever again.

There is no fear in love

"There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror!..." 1 John 4:18 AMPC

+http://geniusquotes.org/tag/love-no-fear/

There is no fear in love because there is no fear in God; God is love.  So, next time you feel fear, dread, terror, etc., double check to make sure you haven't stepped away of from God and into the world.  If you have stepped out of God's will and into your own, then step right back into God. However, if you spend quality time with Him daily and are in consistent, heart-felt, prayer with Him, yet you still feel fear, then, repeat this verse, and every verse you can find on fear, over and over until they sink back into your soul; it could be that you are going through the motions, but your heart and mind has drifted, which can happen to the best of us.  

Friends, God's Word is powerful, and no matter what situation you are in, there is something in there for you to grasp onto at anytime and in any predicament at hand - keep digging and keep praying.  In turn, you will hear a word that will calm you down, cheer you up, and give you hope for something great.  When that happens, that is God, He is with you, and He is letting you know that it is all going to turn out perfectly.

He Who began a good work...

“… He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.” Philippians 1:6 AMPC

You are made for a purpose.  God has a plan for your life, and one way or another, you will walk out and live that purpose.  So, If you feel yourself fighting through life, maybe it is time to step back and ask God to take the lead - you just might find that you’ve been trying to go down the wrong dang road for a mighty long time.  So, let God lead the way, and let the purpose He has made you for come to pass the way it is supposed to.

FORGIVE!!

"And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father Who is in heaven may also forgive your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop." Mark 11:25 AMP

FORGIVE.  

Until you do, the full life God has for you will never be fully perfected.
