Love Life

Hello 👋 😁 & Welcome!

Today’s message is about loving the life God gave us as life is a gift and shouldn’t be waisted as it’s here one day, and gone the next. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

When the storms of life come as they sometimes will, God promises to be there for us and to help us grow. We don’t understand how important it is to remain faithful, stable and steadfast. We don’t understand the importance of the words of our mouth because what’s in our heart, comes out of our mouths. One of the most single things as Christians is how we behave during hard times.

We should remember all the ways God has led us in our lives as it was to humble you and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. We need the power of the Holy Spirit to be peaceful, joyful, continue to do what’s right, continue to walk in love with other people and continue to be emotionally stable. When nothing is going right! And that just shows what kind of person we are and what we have on the inside according to our reaction.

What are the high places? Trouble, suffering and responsibility. Why are the hard places in life considered the high places in life? Because once you can be in that place and stay stable, rejoice in God, continue to walk in love, continue to reach out to other people, refuse to feel sorry for yourself, refuse to get discouraged, refuse to sit around in self pity. Once you get to that place there is nothing else the devil can do with you!

Habakkuk 3:17-19 (KJV)

"Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places."

Many people may find it easy to express love for their families, spouses, church and the Lord but struggle to say, "I Love My Life!"

Daily routines and responsibilities can become a daily grind, making you dread today, rather than looking forward to it. Privileges can become burdens that rob you of the happiness you’re meant to have as a child of God. Yet, you can be hopeful, learn to rise above your challenges, and become filled with wonder at what God can do and what he is willing and eager to do for you.

You can go from having discontentment to obtaining peace and satisfaction through Christ. The key is shifting your perspective so that you may also relish every opportunity in life. We tend to run from the situations that make us feel uncomfortable but it’s those very trials that will clean out the hidden things we bury and ignore. You cannot pretend they don’t exist because hiding from them is actually hurting you.

Choose on purpose to love life fully, in spite of your obstacles, as you experience the joy and fulfillment God has for you!

•God has an amazing plan for you!

•Refuse to let Fear determine your Destiny

•See each day as an Opportunity

•Be the person God created you to be

The key to loving yourself is found in God’s love for you. Discover how making Him the focus of all you do will transform your attitude so you can really enjoy the life Jesus died to give you. He has already blessed you with talents and abilities but it’s up to you to cultivate those gifts.

"Hard things can be achievable with ease when we do them by God's Grace."

John 14:12-16 (KJV)

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever."
