Love

I've been listening to Joyce Meyer and she's is an awesome speaker. Last night I was listening to her "What is true love" series and it just amazed me. One thing that really clicked to me was how she answered the age old question of "well if God was real why doesn't he just solve all the world's problems"? She said and I'm summarizing is that God works through us, we are his people.  It is our duty to love one another and fulfill God's will.  If we want to see a change, we need to get our hands dirty and show love to one another.  Love isn't just about feelings and words but about action too. Loving your neighbor is helping them when they are in need. Lifting them up when they are done. Don't just preach to them when they are going through situations but sit down and actually listen. Love is so important because if you don't have love then everything you do is of waste. I know its really hard to love some people and I have a hard time forgiving.  I've just learned to move on but never really forgive nor forget. In this journey with Christ, I want to learn to forgive and forget and to just love everyone just as he as loved me.

I hate it

I hate it when I lose focus and let the devils lies into my head. These past 2 days I have been reflecting because I fell again. Its so hard, I'm really disappointed in myself.  I'm embarrassed to pray to God but I know I have to because without prayers I'll be drifting further away from him.

Feelings

Before I tell you about last night, I just have to say that our God is sooo goood! I caught my self laughing and smiling as I was reading his words. I mean he is so awesome. Also while reading the bible, I couldn't believe that people at that time didn't believe that he was truly the Messiah. Like how can you not have known, all the miracles, all of the parables. But I guess the couldn't see the light because they were blind with darkness. Like Jesus said in the bible, They were the children of the devil that's why they couldn't see or hear him. Okay back to last night, So these past couples of month.. I have been really frustrated at my self for not "feeling" God's presence or the Holy Spirit when i was praying or worshiping him. Last at night I went to a kind of praise and worship service here at my school called "The Gathering". There God spoke to me and told me to not to rely on feelings but to trust and have faith in him. I realized that those frustrations or feelings were of the devil, putting doubts in my head to get me to stop praying. He wanted me to just give up simply because I wasn't "feeling" anything. Instead my God told me to keep praying, to push harder because that was the way to defeat the evil one. To keep praying and believing. So my question is how many of you have these kinds of "feelings"?
