God Love You!!

God loves you. "For God so loved the world He gave his only son that who ever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life" John 3:16 When God says He loves you He really means it. Sacrificing His only son. I know after Jesus rose from the dead and went back to the father but when Jesus was dying on the cross with all the sin of the world God had to pour out all His wrath against sin. God is so holy He could not even take away some of the consequences away even though it would all go on His son. He sees when you are afraid He sees every move you make. Now that can ether really scare you or make you really happy and excited. It means He sees you in you room on the Internet He sees you even when no one else sees you. On the good side He sees every time you think about about Him every time you do something kind for someone even when no one else is looking. He is your father He does not evil things to come against you. He wants you to love Him just like a Father. He wants you to talk to Him like a friend.

He will set you free

God is higher than everything on this earth. Nothing is to hard for Him. I know it is hard to believe. because our human minds cannot comprehend it. But he can set you free from whatever you are struggling with. I know the devil comes in torments us. It is not fun but God can set us free. God does not want us to live under the lies of the enemy. I always felt like "no one else struggles with this" "Why do I do this" " is it just me" " God obviously messed up when He was making me" all these things would race through my mind. I always thought well if God loved me than I should not deal with this stuff. Then I realized we had to come before the Lord and ask Him to set us free of bondage and strongholds. It might be personnel or generational or whatever but it is not to big for God. I would recommend first ask God to set you free but after it might help to talk with a parent, teacher, consular, good friend ect. that is a Christian that would be able to help you. If you would like to email me a question or comment that is more personnel you can ask Chandler Lawing for my email. I do not know everything what so ever but I will try to help. Here are a couple of songs

let all your Fountains in the Lord

God has all we need. Nothing in this world will ever satisfy us. We were meant for something greater. God wants us to have all of or fountains in Him. When we are in trouble we need to go straight to God. No matter how much money, clothes, good looks it will never make you happy. It will for a time but soon it gets old and you want something else. When I started growing closer to the Lord. Regular duties were not so hard. Once you start getting (water) from God you are able to share it with others. Here  is a video that connects with what I wrote.

Do not Fear

You do not need to be afraid. The Lord sees you. The Lord has shown me that He is our protector. God does not want us to struggle with fear. In my own life fear has been in my heart. Fear of failure and fear of man. I was always afraid of. What if I fail? what if everyone laughs at me? What if? What if? that was always on my mind. Then I began to see myself as God saw me. And what people thought and said began to fade away. I realized how special I was to Him. What people thought about me, my clothing, my house, my parents, how I talked etc. It did not matter because I was before a higher throne. And that was Heaven. I looked at myself how God saw me. Its easy to get caught up with. I don't look good. I am not beautiful. I am not thin. I do not have this. I wish I was more athletic. All that stuff began to clog up my mind. You will never look perfect you will never have every problem fixed but that is why it is called life. That is why God sent His son Jesus. You might look like you have everything to the world but inside t will bring you no happiness no joy no life. money. food, clothing, cars it will all go away and soon you have to have something else. It is like a big wheel you will always need something else. Unless you dial into what God created you to look like and act like and do physically/mentally. Some it is music, art, athletics, education. God did not make you by mistake. He loves everything He created about you. Some of you may say I don't struggle with that. That is what I said at first too. Then I began to realize there was always fear in my heart. Some of it would just be crazy ridiculous fears and some would be the tiniest little thing that you would not even think is bad or not right in your life at all. There is something we are always thinking about. The Bible says to think on things that are above. Not how much you want to slap the person next to you, or tell your mom what you have been thinking about her for the last few days or be mean to your brother or sister. But for you to think about how much God loves you and ask God to let you see people through his eyes. Ask God this coming week to set you free from fear no matter what kind. Here is a great son g about trusting in the Lord (rock) by Laura Hackett.

The love will grow

Over the time I have spent with the Lord my love has grown. The Bible began to be interesting. Hearing and talking about God was not boring. Having quiet time when it was just me and God became exciting. I looked forward to having 30 min. to 2 hr. to set aside to the Lord. I began to see God as a friend not just some mystical person up there far away. I realized God was close and near and when we would spend time with him we would get closer and closer to Him. I began to feel His presence with me. I began to talk to Him as a friend. Like how I would talk to a regular person. I understood that He hears my prayers and wants to answer them. Challenge yourself to send 10 min. with the Lord this week if not more.

This is the song to go with my title. I encourage you to ask the Lord to  fill your cup to the top with running water.

My Journey

This week I started thinking about sharing my journey, my journey with the Lord and coming out to KC. Ever since Facinate 2010, my life has really changed. Not that I have not had those hard times and been away from the Lord, but my outlook on life is different. Instead of what is the least I can do for the Lord and get away with, it is now how can I make every moment of my life count? I realized just spending 30min. with the Lord everyday helped. It gave me peace when I slept. It gave me joy doing regular things like cleaning and doing school. I found out what the Lord thought about me. That He loves me and really does care about what happens to me. I saw that the Lord loves to help us and to answer the questions we ask Him. Being true to the Lord is not about going to church or listening well in a Bible class, it is about what you do in the secret place when no one is watching. About every moment you say a 10 second prayer or think about how you love spending time with your Creator. It is so simple yet hard. "And if you look for it as for silver and search for it as hidden treasure then you will understand the fear of the Lord and fnd the knowledge of God." Proverbs 2:4 Here is a video that I thought applied to seeking after the Lord. I know it is about ice cream but it still blessed me.
