And I said, The prophets lied! I'm a hopeless case! Why did You create me, oh faultless God?!
Loving God can hurt sometimes, but it is the only thing that I want.
Either I let Jesus into my life, or I refuse. But here's the good news: Jesus has never had any failed operation nor has He ever lost any case! I gotta get a grip on this truth, or else I'll keep sliding down a road that leads to destruction.
If this life is proving anything, I need the love of Jesus for every moment.
If your love for Jesus is conditional, you're living life all wrong!
If all I knew of was the upcoming hell, and I did not know that Jesus is all kinds of beautiful, I don't know if I'd be a Christian today.
What's the point of trying to get to Heaven if probation closes without you ever experiencing just what it feels like to love Jesus?
My happiness does not come from always getting my way, but my happiness comes from the hope that I'll one day enter into the joy of my Lord.
It's not about how much I have in my Bank Account, it's about how much love for me God has in His heart, so I'll set my heart upon that great love.
It's either you are putting the sin away, or you are putting the Savior away.
I believe our salvation isn't out of our control; in the hour of temptation, we must resist whilst drawing power from God… Don't let lust change your mind.
Lord, I don't know if I will ever be worthy of the love You give me! But if You are willing to blow me away, I am willing to keep showing up.
I reckon on the day of their punishment, when Satan and his angels see the children of God shining like the sun in the kingdom of their heavenly Father, all the Satanic force will be begging for destruction!
Jesus sees past your limitations, He sees that you want a forever with Him, and He will help your efforts.
Riding with Jesus, and it don't matter if we pass by seasons of affliction and tribulation along the way, the promised destination has not changed!
Father in Heaven, may I ever be on the same page with You, when it comes to my prayer requests, in the name of Jesus, Amen.
If you want a forever with Jesus, face your sin in the light of God, realize sin’s true character, and face the Father's rod of correction. For living sin-free lives is the next level of our existence. I don't deny that my battle with sin is far from over, neither do I deny Jesus the opportunity to give me the victory, every day.
Some nights I say unto God, I have no wisdom, except the message of the cross.
So being here on Earth prior to the end of the world is no longer to merely chase shallow dreams, but to stand ready to go wherever Providence leads the way, to strengthen the Lord’s flock, to be a messenger of His mercy, to be a minister of His grace.
Some things are just but a small price to pay, to get to where God is taking us.
I want whatever circumstances that support the pursuit of Christ. In Him, I find no reason to give up, His goodness must prevail.
Now I finally understand that sin is never the way forward, sin is never a step in the right direction! For sin is still sin even when committed for good ends.
A forever with Jesus sounds good to me, but attaining unto it will surely be the fight of my life! Yeah, it's easy said than done, the things that I must go through, to end up in my Home, somewhere beyond the skies.
LORD, loving You is really the only good I have left in my life, without You, all is but a sad story.
LORD, loving You has left me with no reason to choose death.
So I let go of Chronade 1.0 so I can become Chronade 2.0 - it's a battle, Heaven knows, but oh one thing's for sure: eternal life, is worth a lifelong, persevering, untiring effort.
For me Christianity means more than just ministry, it means that we will one day experience life the way God intended from the beginning.
My Christianity is sustained by Jesus’ ability and aspiration to have a real relationship with me. Otherwise, all I have is a theory.
Knowing God's character, God's intentions, God's motives, is the only spaceship that takes us to glory! But if you have suspicions that God is not good, re-evaluate your faith immediately!
Every possibility I must generate in order to be saved, stems from an all-abiding faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God.
All good things are found within the love of God exclusively. Let us not find peace of mind in temporal things. On the day of final judgment, all the rebellious will have are regrets and a fearful expectation of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
I have no hard feelings toward God, I long for more intimate friendship with Him.
From henceforth, I will no longer be a servant of sin, but I will be a servant of God, because I have been expelled from the school of pride and I have been accepted into the school of God's infinite Grace!
Lord Jesus, I can sense it, I'm prone to depart from the school of God's infinite grace. So take my heart oh Lord, for I cannot give it! It is Thy property! Keep it pure for I cannot keep it for Thee!
Maybe you don’t choose to be born, but you choose what you are living for. Oh for grace to be all-in in the cause of the cross of Christ!
I like gaining more finances, I like gaining more muscle mass, I like gaining more Social Media followers, but my most precious gains are to know God better!
Lord God, no matter how hard I try, every now and then my soul tends to feel like You don't love me half as much as I believe You do. Such feelings cause one to forsake the LORD forever. Lord God, I can't count on You for special treatment, but I can count on You to judge with righteousness and equity. Nothing can make me feel saved but seeing the law of God established in my character.
God, I want You, but my own heart condemns me… But Your love has a way of rescuing me, no matter what's holding me captive.
I will not give Christ up this time, because you don't give up on something that's all you ever wanted.
God, Your judgements concerning my life are all done in love, but will I always know? They're all done in love, but will it always feel like it?
Give me something, Lord. I'd rather fail at my dreams and get to a point of surrendering myself to Your great love, than live life deceived by the devil's shiny gifts.
God of angel armies, I love the way You destroyed sin's power over me, You know God is loved around here… You know God don't get bored and lonely around here!
There must be a difference in the longings of the heart of a saint awaiting Christ’s return, and in the longings of the heart of a common worldling. Help me oh Lord, to walk from day to day as a dead man! Dead to my former life of worldliness, selfishness, and covetousness which I lived prior to my conversion.
Why am I treated like I will succeed, when Heaven knows I can't? And why do I let myself believe that I stand a chance, when spiritual Science says I don't? To be a Christian is not merely a campaign to be saved, but it's an engraced commitment to leave lust and pride behind, forever.
So I will not focus merely on chasing my dreams, but I'll focus on bringing happiness to the people God has blessed me with.
No one can say what I get to be, God formed me for His glory!
Lord, I don't always feel like a supernatural creature, but everyday I give myself away, so Your cause can find expression in my life.
I've been instructed to marry a wife that's good for business and Kingdom building.
When we put away anger, we are not saying what they did is good, but we are choosing to see things through the lens of love, and to come up with non-hostile solutions to make everyone happy.
God, You are the most important being ever! When the blue skies turn to grey, I won't let go of Your hand! I vow to maintain my resolve: I'm on this Earth to do Your will.
Mighty One, a thousand dreams in my soul now, I realize today they are not everything that I'm needing, so as long as I live I will rejoice in Your salvation!
Jesus, to say You're never gonna let me down, means I have blessed assurance I shall not be hurt of the second death. And I have blessed assurance I have Heaven’s support to fulfill God’s call on my life.
If you fail to find happiness in the law of God, you will also fail to find happiness in the lake of fire. If you find happiness in the law of God, you will also find happiness in the kingdom of Heaven.
Oh Father in Heaven, I know I must look to my future with You!
I'm not gonna lose salvation simply because my life sucks, I'm stronger than that. This affliction won't be the end of me! Lord Jesus, I've chosen You ✟
Jesus, I give You my heart, I give You my soul, I give You my time, I give You all my earthly fortune, I give You supremacy in my affections, Jesus get closer!
As I sing songs of praise unto God, as I take the time to pray, as I take the time to search the scriptures, as I exercise patience in tribulation, as I rejoice in hope, the Satanic force might think I'm merely campaigning for a better life, but my life is as unpleasant as ever! It's scary to even ask myself the question: what if today is as good as it gets? My heavenly Father, my mood is based on the love we share, so nothing's gonna bring me down!
If I'm gonna wait for the return of Jesus, I might as well joy in the God of my salvation all day long! If I'm gonna suffer a lot as days go by, I might as well preserve my high estimation of God's love and endure to the end! If I'm in continual need of God's wisdom, guidance, and strength, I might as well live a life that makes prayer a necessity.
Between doing everything I can, and actually fighting the fight of faith with all my willpower, Lord You show me the difference!
Oh I can't be bitter at people, coz loving them is a sign that it is well with my soul.
The only big deal about me is that God loves me.
Whatever I was made for, I will not be spared from. Whatever work God has for me to do, He won't keep me waiting much longer than necessary.
The pain was not for hateful destruction, the pain was for loving-construction.
I trade in my Earthly wish for a life that revolves around God's love! It's not about my wishes, it's about Your plan Father! All I have desired of Thee oh LORD my God, is to be wholly and exclusively an instrument of righteousness to You. So show me the way to unite my human efforts with Your divine efforts.
I'll go through sad days if I have to, if it's teaching me that You oh Lord, are the source of all my joy! To no longer look to my circumstances for my happiness, but to do this life with Jesus. Jesus for my joy, His love for my guideline. Lord, I will not throw You off the boat this time, You're what life is all about, and there ain't no point without You!
Why would I want to perish? Because it's likely? I can't live my life this way if I want to be perfected in the love of God.
If my life is a concert, then Jesus is the Guest of Honor, and the show don't start till He is here.
Thank you Jesus, for showing me that it's not about the wife, it's about the heavenly Father.
Holy Father, You are never gonna let me down! No matter what I go through, good times will always find me!
There is no dignified, nor legitimate, nor acceptable excuse, to be found on the wrong side of grace when probation closes.
Creator, I am here, whatever I have to lose, whatever I have to go through, so You'll never lose me again.
Concerning perishing in the lake of fire, God I don't want You to lose me forever, I say this because if Your soul loveth me not, I have no business hoping for eternal life.
My Father on the throne of Heaven, the days I loved You completely, those were the best days of my life…
The only move that I really have is to surrender myself to my wise Savior, Jesus Christ.
When we are not worshiping God in spirit and in truth, we are part of the problem.
God's plan for my life ends with me being saved, and being saved is more important than anything that I'm currently dreaming of.
I've made up my mind, that all the delay, and all the limitations, and all the torment, were ordered by God for my life in wisdom and love. If I bear with the Lord, I'll inherit the promised end.
It's so wonderful to understand that my current struggle is a story that will one day glorify God.
Oh Lord, after all that I’ve been through, all that's left of me is love for You.
I can rely on God, for He is inclined to pull out all the stops for my redemption.
As the human race, we can discover a lot of things, but if we don't discover Jesus, we are still doomed.
The current version of me has all he needs, in this current stage of the process of God, God is giving me the ability to release the gifts He has entrusted me with.
Resistance is to say to the flesh, I have the final say!
Clearly I need the Father's support to finish my task on Earth prior to the return of the Lord!
The Lord's process to refine me and to purify me, burns! But I am willing to stick it out to the end. It's like a fire burning in my soul, it's not enjoyable, but I know it's for the best.
Happy am I if there never comes a day I give my salvation all away.
But Lord, as long as I give You all of me, I will not count myself a son of hell.
I'm nothing if I don't have deep love for my heavenly Father. And because I love You oh LORD, I will never consider myself to be too cool for wherever You may send me.
As human beings, we depend on God even for the purpose of existence.
'You are beautiful' means you are wholly committed to the cause of the cross of Christ.
Oh Father in Heaven, my life starts when everyday I give myself wholly to You. I give You my attention, and I say, LORD, I'm right here, holding on to the promises of Your love. I love You so much I feel the need to give You my best, always.
Holy One of Israel, I don't know a lot, but I know that my forever is with You!
Creator, for as much as You are the One that keeps me from falling, I don't ever see a day when I won't love You completely! Not because I fear the fires of hell, but because the idea of a life without You breaks my loving heart!
One of the most important gains of life is to learn to love God even in the heat of tribulation. And I said to the Lord, Let me not be susceptible to any death but the death of a lover of God!
So why should I make my life harder by doubting God's goodness tonight?
Lord, there's a million different things I can do, but if I seek my own, it's a waste.
