“Do Not Expect God To Answer Your Prayer Your Way. He Will Answer His Ways. His Ways Are Not Our Ways

“All this achievement and accomplishment that you focus on is fine, but remember, the most important thing about you is something that someone else accomplished on your behalf. You are a child of the living God, and He paid for your sins with his blood. He gave you a room in His Father’s house. To God, YOU are the most important thing in the universe.”

God has really done some serious purification since I first entered secondary school. If I could meet my past self I'd give her a big teddy bear hug and let her know all the pain will be worth it. Although the flames will still burn the same. It's all been worth it. I constantly need to remind myself now at 17. The vulnerability I've grown into with God would suprise past me. I talk to him openly as my friend. Slang, eyerolls, tears and all. And he listens. He cares about every second of it! Even the things which aren't actually that imooetsnt. He doesn't deny my emotions. He doesn't make me feel invalid for them. What a friend I have in Jesus.

forever grateful i’m not who i used 2 be

God's love is here RIGHT NOW for u❤

friendly lil psa ✨💗🌺

someone is gonna love you for who you are. it may not be right now, but i guarantee you, if you go in life with a positive attitude, someone’s going to love you. they’re gonna love everything about you; your dark brown eyes, even without the light flecks of gold that everyone loves. your thunder thighs, stretch marks and cellulite. they’re gonna love your awkward jokes, your loud cackling laugh, and your nervous habits. you’re gonna find a love, even if it’s not soon. leave that trash behind, don’t let them get you down. don’t let them tell you your unique quirks aren’t beautiful. 

“Jesus is a lot of wonderful and amazing things, but one thing He is not: He is not made in your image. You are made in His image.”

— Judah Smith

You gotta set a certain standard for your life and the people around you, your environment, and your habits have to match this standard no exceptions!

When I see that cross, I see freedom,

When I see that grave, I see Jesus,

And from death to life, I will sing your praise.

In the wonder of your grace.

Someone else's success does not equal your own failure.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Wishing is not enough; we must do. -Johann Von Goethe

He really had to STRIPPPP away the old- the friends, the theology, the ideology and the xpose the underlying insecurity and constant neediness for affirmation from people. I couldn't experience a personal relationship with God until he freed up my heart from all the worldly things that were stored up in it. I was bitter, upset and felt abandoned. I still feel so sometimes but I know how to separate feelings from TRUTH! I can speak over myself and not have to rely on anyone else but god to fulfill that need. I know God will work through people in my life to speak to me so relationships are still ESSENTIAL. Don't under or over estimate the power of community brothers and sisters!

I had to feel empty again in order for God to fill me up with His grace and love.
