It's Just Him.....Now That You Know That You Are A Living Epistle....Tell Your Story!

When you feel someone carrying you....It's Just Him.   When you get peace in the situation....It's Just Him.   When you can find joy in the midst of the storm....It's Just Him.    That's who God is.

He is your Comforter....Your Peace.....Your Joy.   He is your Hope.  

When everything seems as though it is closing in on you.   That's when you have to move closer to Him.   The press....the pressure....makes things compact.   Therefore bringing you closer to God.   He is wherever you are. You have to trust in the word that says He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you.   You have to trust in the word that says that He is EVER PRESENT in your time of need.

You have to understand that God lives in you.   The funny thing is that we just don't recognize Him until we are under pressure.   We don't see His attributes until we are faced with the challenges of life.   What do we need to do to maintain that closeness?   Even when we are not going through....someone else is.   Someone else needs your prayers.   When your challenge is over.....are you able to minister a word from God to someone else?   To help them see that God is there.   That He hasn't left them or forsaken them.

Our walk.....our talk.....all reflects.  It shines a light upon the goodness of God.   It reveals His attributes.....His character.    Our lifestyle.....our trust.....are testimonies of His goodness and His grace.   For when others see you....and see your faithfulness.....they see the goodness of God.   They see the HOPE that is in God.   They see the grace of God.  

So get closer today....even if your trial is over....stay close.    So that when the light shines on you....the reflection of God can shine from you.    The reflection of peace....of joy.....of love.....   The reflection that shows those around you that everything is going to be alright if they just trust and obey.     The reflection that shows a loving Father with arms open wide.....a comforter.....who never leaves nor forsakes His children.

Show the realness of God.   Share your testimony.....so someone else can know that God is real.   So they can see His grace and His mercy.   Let someone read your story.....we have the Bible to lead us and to guide us......but until some people get to the Bible.......all they have is your life to read.   Be a living epistle.....an open book....to be read by all those around you.

A book of faith....a book of trust....a book of peace.....a book of joy.....a book of hope.   Confirm God's words through your actions.   Know that the Bible.....the Word of God.....is still being written though you today.   You are the book that God is writing and that people are reading.

What Do You Do When You Are Not Sure What To Do?

In the midst of all the trials that come with life, what do you do when you don’t know what to do?   Do you quit?   Do you give in?   Do you...
