I will make My home among you. My soul will not turn away from you. I will walk among you and be your God. And you will be My people.

Leviticus 26:11-15

It’s cool to know that God is always walking among us, always with us. That He will never turn away from us. That we are HIS people. He created us. He has plans for us. He LOVES us. He loves YOU! If you ever feel alone, remember that you are NEVER alone…for GOD is ALWAYS with you.

We will celebrate
   and praise you, LORD!
   You are good to us,
   and your love never fails.

Psalm 106:1

It’s such a comfort to know that God’s love NEVER FAILS. That means He is ALWAYS going to love us, never going to stop loving us. His love isn’t based on anything we’ve done, He loves us simply because he chooses to. He created you and has plans for you, you’re His creation and He loves you more than you can even imagine.

Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.” Luke 11:28

It’s easy to SPEAK words of faith, but a lot harder to live it. Actions really do speak much louder than words. Show people you have faith in God by the way that you live, by your actions…by putting your faith into practice, living by faith, not by words.

Carefully guard your thoughts
   because they are the source
   of true life.

Proverbs 4:23

Guard your thoughts. Thoughts can easily become actions, and depending on what kind of thought’s you’re thinking, that may get you into trouble. We’re humans, sometime’s we’re going to think bad thoughts. But the key is not to entertain those thoughts = don’t give into them and keep thinking bad thoughts but quickly shift your thought process or even pray and ask the Lord to cleanse your mind. Remember God hears every thought that you think, so don’t be ashamed to ask God for help in cleansing your mind and helping you to get your thoughts elsewhere whenever you start to think thoughts you shouldn’t – pray!

You alone are the Lord. You made the skies and the heavens and all the stars. You made the earth and the seas and everything in them. You preserve them all, and the angels of heaven worship you.

Nehemiah 9:6

God created EVERYTHING. There is NOTHING too difficult for Him. So whenever you find yourself with a problem that seems to difficult, give it to God, give EVERYTHING to God, whether you think you can handle it or not by yourself! Always commit everything you do to the Lord and trust in Him knowing He will help you, and that nothing is too difficult for you through Christ.

Who can measure the wealth and wisdom and knowledge of God? Who can understand his decisions or explain what he does?

Romans 11:33

Sometimes things happen in our life that we don’t understand. But we have to realize that although WE may not understand, God always understands. He can see the bigger picture, the missing puzzle pieces that we can’t and may not ever see. So if you’re going through something right now that you don’t understand, trust the Lord, knowing that whatever it is, God will help you through it.

You must encourage one another each day. And you must keep on while there is still a time that can be called “today.”

Hebrews 3:13

When you encourage someone, it can mean more to that person then you will ever know. Try to encourage someone every day, and at the end of the day ask yourself “Who did I encourage today”? If you can’t think of anyone, it’s time to up your encouragement. So encourage someone today, you won’t regret it!

All these many people who have had faith in God are around us like a cloud. Let us put every thing out of our lives that keeps us from doing what we should. Let us keep running in the race that God has planned for us.

Hebrews 12:1

One of the top ways that people stray away from God is distractions. We get so busy just living our every day schedules that it’s easy to let spending time with God slip to the back of the shelf – when that should be FIRST. Don’t get distracted and let God fall into last place – put Him FIRST in your life, and you won’t regret it! So whatever is distracting you right now, get rid of it, get focused, and get back on track – towards God!

For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

Philippians 2:13 (New Living Translation)

Do you have a desire you have had for a while? God may have given you that desire to do something for him. Whatever gifts you have, use them to glorify God – for every gift we have is a God given gift. So use your gifts to glorify Him and know that God will give you the power to do whatever He has called you to do, even if you have to step out of your comfort zone to do it!

Bring us back to you!
   Give us a fresh start.

Lamentations 5:21

It’s never too late to have a fresh start. We’ve all made mistakes in our pasts…the important thing is to learn from our mistakes and to leave them in the past and move on, starting fresh. God has given us a chance to wipe our slate clean, to begin again. It doens’t matter how many times you have failed or how big your mistake was, God WILL forgive you and give you a fresh start…all you have to do is ask Him.
