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.
Ephesians 4:29 ESV Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. 1 Thessalonians 4:18 ESV Therefore encourage one another with these words. Psalm 34:13 ESV Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Titus 3:2 ESV To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. James 4:11 Living Bible (TLB) Don’t criticize and speak evil about each other, dear brothers. If you do, you will be fighting against God’s law of loving one another, declaring it is wrong. But your job is not to decide whether this law is right or wrong, but to obey it. Our words c...
Do you remember John 4? Jesus asked a Samaritan woman for a drink at the well. She questioned him and why Jesus would even talk to her. Jesus said " If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water" (John 4:10). What is Jesus trying to say here? Let's look at this. If you knew the gift of God and who it is that ask you for a drink : What gifts do we receive from God? Love, mercy, grace, all our needs met, miracles, the list goes on and on. Jesus is also a gift from God. We are all brothers and sisters with the same inheritance as Jesus. Therefore, we are also gifts from God. This signifies that Jesus is equal to this lady. He doesn't perceive Himself better than her, which is how she perceives Him. Then the lady goes on to question Jesus again about what He has to put in the well and tells Him the well is deep. It h...
Do you ever feel like you should be doing something else or more? There are times when I have that tug on my heart to be doing something else. Now don't get me wrong, I love what I do. I like where I work, but there is still something missing. I invest so much into my work including my time, my talents, my energy and sacrifice. My work almost becomes my identity. And reality is that I put more into my work than I do for God. Wow, did you hear that? Americans spend most of our time either working or sleeping. I think I'm starting to understand why I'm so restless. Maybe it's because I'm not doing what Jesus said to do in Luke 10:27 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind '; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself." The key is to love him with ALL my strength and mind. I can't give him whatever I left over after I worked 8 hours a...
