Start A Fire.

Today I went for a drive, and the very first song on the radio was Holy Spirit.  It's same song that was the theme of my blog post yesterday.  Ironic?  I don't think so.

Now that we established that the Holy Spirit lives in us, we can discuss how God starts a fire in our hearts.  He has planted his love in our hearts, so we may glorify him in everything we do.

1 Thessalonians 5:19 says..
Do not put out the Spirit's fire.

We must hold on to the good, but avoid the evil.  We should not fill our hearts with negative thoughts.  It's God who preserves us.  The more effort you put in to desire God's love, then the more you will see him use you as a blessing towards others.  Effort is key to continue a growing relationship with him.

Dear God,
I pray you continue to grow a fire in our hearts for your mercy.  It is you who knows the direction for our future.  We must trust that you are working in our hearts for your purpose for us. Let us not blow out the fire you have established in us.  I pray all these things in Your awesome name.  Amen.

Diamonds.

Happy Monday! God is refining us into diamonds.  He is making our stories perfect through his eyes.  Isn't that awesome? Zechariah 9:16 says.. The Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of his people. They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown. It is amazing how much God loves us even though we sin over and over.  We must always remember to forgive our sins.  He is the way and the light of the world. Dear God, I thank you that you see us as perfect diamonds.  I pray you continue to lead us through the dark.  Please be with us as we continue to live our lives for you.  I pray all these things in Your awesome name.

Sometimes God Blows My Mind.

Just the other day a sermon appeared on my youtube home screen for the first time ever.  I clicked the video and began watching.  Her name was Heather Lindsey, and I knew nothing about her.  I was a couple minutes in and realized I needed to save it for later.  I kept the tab open until I had enough time to watch the 42 minute sermon.  Tonight was the night I decided to watch it, and man does God place things in your life that you need to hear.  I have typed out my notes that I jotted down during the sermon, and I will link the video below.  If you need a Jesus pick-me-up, then please do not hesitate to watch this sermon.  It is truly amazing to see God work through this message. Heather Lindsey - Stormy Seasons: Trusting God In the Midst of the Storms of Life. It is easier to forgive at church, but we walk out the door and still sin. Luke 8:22 God tests us. In the middle of the trial, have faith and hope in God. God wants to know w...
