Changing the focus

Hi there to all of my awesome readers!
  Yesterday was Christmas day and how exciting it was right? Well, what I want to talk about today is that sometimes during the holiday season we get so caught up in what we're doing (Be it holiday shopping, planning, anxiously waiting to open presents...) that, we forget the real REASON for the SEASON. Let's freeze everything for a minute now, and take a few moments to think. I want to tell all of you what the greatest Christmas present is in this holiday season. The fact that OUR Savior came down to earth as a tiny little helpless baby to die on a cross many years later to save US from OUR sins. Now, as for me and I think as for you guys too, that's the greatest gift anyone could ever give. That's when we change focus, when we realize that what we thought was important was actually keeping us from seeing the big picture, the Christ in CHRISTmas. But this season is not over yet and now is your chance to spread the joy and love of Christ wherever you go. So don't hold back! Let Jesus' light shine through you today and any day and always!
"And she shall bring forth a son, and though shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." Matthew 1:21

Like Shampoo and Conditioner

Something that's really been hitting me recently is the necessity we have to pray and read the Bible everyday. Soon after we become new Christians we have this longing feeling to find out more. Surely there's more to this, isn't there? The answer to that question is yes, there is so much more. The thing is, to have a personal relationship with Jesus, you need to get to know him just as you would with any other person. Prayer and Bible reading go together like shampoo and conditioner. You can't have one without having the other. What happens if you only put shampoo on your hair? It cleans it, but it leaves it feeling dry and brittle. And if you only put conditioner on your hair, it leaves it feeling soft and smooth but it isn't truly clean. The same thing happens with Bible reading and prayer, like I stated before, "You can't have one without having the other." 📖  "You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being ...

Cast Your Cares on Him!

Sometimes life throws us a curveball and we find ourselves staring blankly at what's to come ahead. We grow anxious, we grow weary, we grow tired and we lack that peace that only God can bring. I can speak from personal experience when I say that sometimes things happen and the only thing you can do is pray, but even so you still wish you could do more and it breaks your heart that you can’t. In one particular occasion, not too long ago actually, I was praying for someone but felt this terrible uneasiness about the situation I was praying for. After a while, decided to open my Bible and look for verses that speak about peace, because only God and His Word could bring me the peace I needed in that moment. Interestingly enough, I stumbled across a verse in Philippians that reads, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6 That's when it hit me, through this verse, G...
