Philippians 1
Vs 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
I definitely needed this reminder today. People push your buttons intentionally sometimes. I have to realize that sometimes this moment of pushing me is testing my growth.
Before I would have made a scene and fired someone.
Today I got frustrated but didn’t explode on them. I wanted too but I decided it wasn’t best at the moment.
Some days it’s hard to balance being a minister and working my job but the same person who preaches is the same person who does my job.
I ask God to truly help me in 2024 to intentionally shine my light before others.
I am so thankful I’m a work in progress.
God isn’t finished working on us. We are a work in progress. So don’t get discouraged when you take a step back . Just determine not to stay there.
God loves us in spite of all our failures and attitudes.
Vs. 9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
Fall so in love with Jesus that you grow in His truth. When you do you will be able to discern when the enemy is plotting against you. When Jesus is Lord over your life you live a life that is Holy. Jesus changes everything; we talk different, we love different, we live different. We become aware of the sinful things we have allowed and that we have to surrender to Him.
God’s love reached down to the very pit of hell to redeem me. God’s love restored my broken life.
God in his mercy loved me even when I didn’t deserve that love.
God never stopped pursuing me even when I pushed Him away .
God grabbed me when I laid down at His feet.
His love looks beyond our inability. His love looks beyond our failure.
His love is unconditional.
His love is the only love that can truly satisfy us.
Don’t let the enemy keep throwing up your past to stop you. Remind him you don’t live there anymore. Remind him that He can not cross the blood of Jesus and you are covered in the blood.
