All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 2 Timothy 3:16 New Life Version (NLT)
This blog is my way to share words inspired by God and trains us to be righteous.

There are times in our life where we feel like we are sinking. This reminds me of a parable Jesus told about the two houses. Don't place your hope into the things of this world or the sand. That's when you start to sink. We need to build our faith, our trust and believe in our rock, Jesus. When those storms come, we will still be standing because we built our life on the rock.
Matthew 7:24-27 New International Version (NIV)
The Wise and Foolish Builders
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.
There are times in my life when something comes up and I react emotionally. I want to follow my emotions and do what I feel is right. Often, my emotions are wrong. I need to learn how to surrender and set my mind on your way, not mine. What ever will come my way, through fire or pouring rain, I will not be shaken.
Have you ever felt like you can't go on? And things just don't make sense? Why do bad things happen to good people? You know God is always good, and not a respecters of person. He is good to all. He is good to the person that believes in him, and he is good to those who don't believe in him. But there are times in life that seem too hard, and we wonder, "Where is God?" Well, rest in this promise he made in 1 Corinthians 10:13. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. You might be going through something, but God is with you all the way. He will guide you and provide you with a way out. But there is a catch. You got to follow him to find the way out.

1 John 3:6 ESV No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Once we come to know Jesus and accept him as our savior, we also agree to stop doing the things that are not pleasing to him. We once were sinners, but now we are saved. To accept Jesus is to accept the path of righteousness. I don't want to fall away from doing what is pleasing to Jesus. I don't want to sin. I want to grow closer to him. When I focus on him, I am able to fulfill my purpose to bring happiness and light to those who are lost in the darkness.
