Judge and be judged.

For by the standard you judge you will be judged, and the measure you use will be the measure you receive. -Matthew 7:2

We are all humans. No one is perfect. And if you think you are please get off my blog because there are no perfect people allowed here.

We are all going to make mistakes. It's human nature for it to happen. I'm just here to tell you to be careful who you judge who you talk about because it will come back to you. People from the world call it karma. Well I call it Matthew 7:2. The word of God does not lie ! Think twice when you're going to do something you know is not right because it will come back to you when you least expect it.

Who's by your side ?

James 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

There is no excuse in the book you can give me for you not to seek God. He does not have to seek you, you have to seek him. Just by you searching for him he will get closer to you. You might not know it but it does happen. Seeking God means you are hungry for him. Starving for his presence. Crying out for him to touch you. Start off by reading the word each day and worshiping him. He does the rest. There will be times when you don't want to worship God but that is when you have to crucify the flesh and give your spirit what it needs. That is how you grow closer to God. Check who you are hanging out with. You need to surround yourself with people who WILL push you to God.

1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”

The bible has an answer for everything. It tells you right here that bad company ruins good morals. The people who you surround yourself if they are not friends from God. If they are not a kingdom friendship what are you doing with them. You need to surround yourself with people who motivate you to seek God. Who want to see you on a new spiritual level. Growing spiritually does not happen over night but it starts with who you surround yourself. Now a question. Who is by your side?

Perfect Love

God loves every single one of us. He loves you for you. We don't have to try to impress him to get his love. We don't have to do anything. He loves us for us ! That's something amazing because I'm not perfect but knowing that his love is all that I have, that's what keeps me going. I'm not a super Christian. Neither are you. We are humans. We come with flaws. Our flesh gets what it wants sometimes but if we truly are seeking God he will give us that perfect love we need.

Your heart

The heart is something we all have but don't really pay much attention to it. Little do we know that what our heart has is what we give off. We speak what our heart feels. Words can hold life and death. Many people do not know that.

When we are hurt we speak words of destruction to people. When we are in love we speak words of affirmation.

In the kingdom of God we need to destroy the evil and edify the good.

Our battles aren't with blood and bones but with spirits without any bodies. We need to realize that those spirits can lead someone to hurt us.

We need to keep our eyes on God and guard our hearts in who we let in.

Because a wounded heart will wound others. Let your heart be healed if it is wounded and I pray that anyone reading this has an encounter with the holy spirit and that God will truly heal your heart.

Amen.

Pillar

Today has not been an easy day for me. When the enemy attacks he doesn't go easy on me. But it's okay. The devil can try to scare me but cannot touch me because I am a son of God. The word says that His is the revenge. God will have revenge on that bad boy for messing with one of his kids.

God sees what you do. He sees what I do. My walk with God has not been an easy one and I could have taken the easy way out and just thrown the towel but that's not me. I'm not that kind of person. I will finish what I started. I am not going to give up. Jesus died on that cross for me and he didn't give up!

A friend and I were talking today. He told me out of all the new leaders that came to our church I was one of the newest and I was the one that stayed. God used him to tell me that He's seen my hard work and dedication and that is why he made me one of the pillars that's holding up the youth. I can tell you right now that I was not looking to be one of these pillars I was not looking to be a leader at my youth group but I was looking for God. I will repeat it. I was looking for God. I am looking for God. I will continue to look for God. I am not satisfied with what I have. I want more of him. The bible says that he loves those who love him. He will be revealed to the people who look for him. That is what I did. I looked for him and I found him. And he has rewarded me by making me a pillar that is holding up a strong youth group.

I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. -Proverbs 8:17
