Let Your Roots Grow
God Bless.
"Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.(NLT)" -Colossians 2:7\n
"God wants you to be rooted and grounded in him. He wants you to feel steady, strong, and ready for this life you have been given. Anxiety, uncertainty, and foolish actions are not a part of the plan he has for our lives. Dig into his Word and start growing a deep rooted love for your God. \n"

Don't Look
Interesting little devotional.
God Bless.
"By nature we are all selfish. The person we think about most is ourselves. We consider our own feelings, needs, desires, and disappointments more than we think about others. The Bible calls us to push back against that self-focused nature that can actually be destructive if left unchecked and take interest in others too. We gain joy when we take the posture of a servant. Take time to pray and consider the people around you today. \n"

These Things
I needed this! I love this! Encouragement below.
God Bless.
"When worry starts to overrun our minds we are functioning as unbelievers. Worry shows that we don’t understand our status in the family of God. God cares about the temporary things like the flowers. God will take even better care of you! We are called to trust God with our lives. When we start to worry rather than acting like an unbeliever instead bring your need to God and trust that He will provide. "

And We Know
I love this! Did I mention how much I needed this encouragement and wanted to share it.
God Bless.
"God is masterful in weaving events together for His glory, even if it is painful, challenging, or traumatic. When your world comes crashing down, keep your faith focused on God. He will not fail you. When your attention is focused on a solid rock, your perspective changes and the rest moves into your peripheral view. How can you stay focused on God when all else fails? Plant yourself in God's word. Be persistent in prayer. Confide in an accountability partner who is mature in their faith."

Seek Him Early
Seek Him Early!
God Bless.
Top Free Christian applications Best rated Daily Devotionals:
Seek Me Early
Walk in My Way and trust Me. No evil can touch you. I am yours as truly as you are Mine. Rest in that truth.
Rest, that is, cease all struggle. Gain a calm, strong confidence in that certainty. Do not only rest in Me when the world’s struggles prove too much and too many for you to bear or face alone. Rest in Me when you need perfect understanding, when you need the consciousness of tender, loving friendship and intercourse.
The world, my poor world, flies to Me when its difficulties are too great to be surmounted any other way, forgetting, or never realizing, that if, with the same eagerness, those hearts sought Me merely for companionship and loving intercourse, many of the difficulties would not arise.The circumstances, the life, the character would be so altered – so purified, that those same difficulties would not exist.
Seek Me early, that is the way to find Me. Early, before I get crowded out by life’s troubles, and difficulties and pleasures.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Proverbs 1:33

Temptation
Some Food For Thought.
God Bless.
Daily Affirmation Devotional

Temptation
Today : Temptation
TODAY’S VERSE
“And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, ‘God is tempting me.’ God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.” James 1:13-15 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Temptation. Who has not felt its sting? Who has not been knocked in the gut and brought to their knees by this cancer of our soul? What keeps us in such bondage is the mistaken belief that temptations are “out there”. We see them as external enemies sneaking around waiting to ambush us. Now it is true that we have an enemy of our very soul, the devil, and he does seek to devour us, but James shares that the root of our temptations come from within us. James says that “temptations come from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions.” We can blame the magazine publisher or the movie producer but it is our own lust, our own unmet needs or misguided thinking that has caused us to dwell on pornography. It is our own misbeliefs and internal dialog that keep us coming back to drugs so we can self medicate. That is why Paul makes it clear that God is the one that must help us. He writes, “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” (I Corinthians 10:13 – NIV) What God’s grace does not prevent, because of our own humanness, God’s grace forgives. The Apostle John wrote, “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (I John 1:8-9) Today, let Jesus untie the ropes that bind you. Like Peter, get up from the cell you are in. You are free! You have been liberated. Hear the words of Jesus, “Arise and sin no more.” “My son, my daughter, go, your sins have been forgiven you!”
TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear liberator of my soul, I bring you my shackles. Take them. I bring you the key to my heart, unlock it. Heal me from the inside. Defeat my misguided thoughts, cast down the enemy of my soul. I look to you, who knows me better than I know myself. By your power, in your grace, because of your mercy, free me, forgive me. In Jesus’ name I pray.
AMEN
TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
God gives me grace to overcome temptations
Picture yourself wearing large gloves all day long. You are trying to eat, type, sew, tie your shoes and other tasks with great difficulty. You just can’t get the job done with such cumbersome hands. Feel the frustration and then you realize, I am this way because of the gloves but I do not have to wear the gloves. Feel the joy as you take the gloves off and begin to act the way you were born to. Picture yourself in a situation with a temptation. Feel the frustration you experience with the temptation. But then you realize, I have the temptation, I am not the temptation. Like the gloves picture God helping you rid yourself of the temptation and giving you the strength to live the way He created you to live.

The Abundant Life

THE ABUNDANT LIFE
Free Christian Apps
THE ABUNDANT LIFE
John 10:10 (NKJV) The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
John 10:10 (MSG) A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.
As we finish this powerful verse today, let us look at the last part. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” God wants us to have an abundant life. This means, and I like how the Message Bible says it, “More and better life than they ever dreamed of.” That is so good!
This life God wants us to have is an abundant life. It is a full, rich, and overflowing life. The word “abundantly” is from the Greek word periossos, and it means to be above, beyond what is regular, extraordinary, or even exceeding. This is not just abundance; it is super-abundance!
God, our Father, has so blessed us that, when we let Jesus into our hearts, He not only showers us with His goodness, He makes it beyond what is regular, extraordinary, or even exceeding. Again, this is not just abundance; it is super-abundance!
Sometimes in life, we can have too much of a good thing, like rain, or ice cream. Well, we can never have too much of God! His grace is so good, yet it never hurts us. His mercies are new every morning! It is like going to a fruit tree, and everyday it is full again with ripe, juicy fruit. Every day, I can pick as much as I want. It is beyond what is regular, extraordinary, or even exceeding. So today, do not look at your shortcomings; look to Him and His super-abundant life!
Confession: Today, I have a super abundant amount of God’s life and goodness. God, my Father, pours out His mercies, fresh and new each day. Today is a new day with new possibilities!

He Shall Not Be Afraid
Oh, this little devotional encouraged me ans may it be encouragement to you as well.
God Bless.
Christians should not be overcome by "bad news", but it does not mean that they are faithless if it oppresses them. Bad news pushes us to ask difficult questions about God and our faith. No matter how bad the news is, although we may be tempted like Job's wife to disassociate ourselves from God, He wants us to respond in humility and faith, accepting His will and trusting the plan He has for us. Bad news doesn't mean God has forsaken or cursed us on the contrary, it means God has specifically chosen a trial that will bring Him glory and allow us through faith, to grow.

Even After All This Time
Definitely inspired me.
May it inspire you.
God Bless.
Even after all this time. The sun never says to the earth, "you owe me." Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.
Hafiz
Today's Meditation:
Love is arguably the most powerful force in the world that we have at our disposal--it costs us very little and produces so much. But if we wish to use it to its full potential "lighting up the whole sky," then we must give it to others, and we must do so without conditions. If I desire authentic love, then I cannot say I will offer it only to those I like, or exclusively to my friends and family--I must show love to all humans, regardless of who they are, what they have done, or what they believe, for when we place conditions on our love, we weaken its power and diminish its very nature.
Hafiz is sharing with us a very powerful message about love--its selfless nature. As he puts it, "the sun never tells the Earth, 'you owe me.'" Although it receives nothing in return, it endlessly lights up the entire sky of half the Earth. We should strive for this love--a love that nurtures and sustains, a love that shines outwardly instead of in, a love that provides energy and warmth for others, a love that asks nothing in return.
Society likes to romanticize love and make it appear as something we fall into. But love is not a state of being, it is a positive action; it is something we must actively give. If we only love because we expect to receive something back, then we are placing conditions on that love.
Love is a power. Love is a cause. Love can change the world. But this type of love--this powerful, positive force in the world--must come without conditions.
Today's Challenge: Show unconditional love towards others today.
Questions to consider:
What are some conditions you place on your love?
How might you better use love as a positive force? Is there anything holding you back?
What kinds of positive things might you accomplish if you were to use love as a positive force?
For further thought:
When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.
Jimi Hendrix

Whatever You Do
This....
God Bless.
"Life is short. Keep in mind that in this life we have just one opportunity to use all that God has gifted us. It's easy to get lazy and neglectful, and God has challenged us to do our best in whatever we put our mind to doing. Let us rise to the call and do well."

One Thing We Can Do
This inspires me.
God Bless.
There is one thing we can do, and the happiest people are those who do it to the limit of their ability. We can be completely present. We can be all here. We can give all our attention to the opportunity before us.
Mark van Doren
Today's Meditation:
Being completely present is the swiss army knife of living life fully. When we can be all here and fully present, we can experience life in all its glory--the ups and downs, the laughter and the tears, the heartfelt relationships. And when we are "all here," we can give all our attention, all our purpose, all our energy, into making the most out of the opportunities that lie before us at that very moment.
Do not be in a rush to get through the day. Take your time as you go from task to task. Live, laugh, breathe, and love. Life is more about the quality of our experience here and our achievements, than it is about the quantity. Over the years, I have come to notice things about my parents and grandparents that never really occurred to me as a young boy. It used to seem peculiar to me that grandma would want to simply walk with us while we rode bikes around town and watch us play on the playground. And when grandpa took us fishing, he did not seem to mind to be the one doing all the work baiting the line and removing the fish we caught. And my parents spent many nights staying home with us--just being a family. I remember nights sitting around the living room praying the rosary together.
The more we experience of life, the less time we spend being passive, just sitting around with nothing to do. Find things that you enjoy. Take up new hobbies. Expand your horizons and interests. We can make a difference in our lives by recognizing every second we have here on Earth as precious, and then making the most of our gift by being "all here."
Today's Challenge: Approach every task today with full awareness.
Questions to consider:
Do you find it easy to be completely present? Why?
What is the value in learning to live in the moment?
How can we find new things that we are interested in?
For further thought:
One of Dr. Johnson's ingredients of happiness was, "A little less time than you want." That means always to have so many things you want to see, to have, and to do, that no day is quite long enough for all you think you would like to get done before you go to bed.
