"Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.
Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead.
Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred,
loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay.
But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in."

Mere Christianity /final words/ By C.S. Lewis

God make me like a tree:

- planted by the water, finding a constant source of life and nourishment.

- spreading out its roots to that source, reaching for that which will make it strong.

- that’s unafraid in heat because its roots are drinking from that which satisfies.

- whose leaf is always green, because the tree never lacks.

- not anxious in drought, because the river will always supply enough.

- yielding fruit, because it has all it needs and extends to others from that supply.

- strong and trusting, reaching out its roots to the constant source of life and supply.

Lord, make me like that.

Maybe you’re afraid you’ve gone astray from God’s purpose for your life because of your past decisions. Maybe you think your mistakes have taken you too far off course. Can I encourage you with something I’ve learned?

Your actions are not powerful enough to derail God’s purpose for you!rpose for you.

Trust God, even in difficult times.

“Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face” Job 13:15.

Can we really trust a God like this, someone who allows a person like Job to suffer incredibly?

Human nature would say to forget about a God who would agree to inflicting pain and then abandon a man like Job when he needed God the most. Questioning God during suffering and unfairness of life is natural, and Job did struggle with the question, “Why me, God?”

Job knew truths about God that allowed him to trust God and has maintained his ways before Him. Suffering did not change how he lived or what he believed, but it did cause him to know God more deeply than he ever had before.

The book of Job is one of my favorites in the Bible, not because it is about suffering, but because it is about knowing God in a deeper way to the point that I can trust Him and say with Job,

“For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though worms destroy my body, yet in my flesh shall I see God…” (Job 19:25-26).

Do you know that your Redeemer lives and that He will stand at the latter day upon the earth to receive you into eternal glory? Even after your skin has been destroyed, yet in your flesh, you will see God. Trust God, even in difficult times.

God Loves You

In a world of incredible splendour and astonishing diversity, our hearts are to be drawn back to the One who made it and now sustains it. He knows us and will help us if we will believe what He has tried so many ways to say: “I love you as my child and I care what happens to you and those you love.”

Purpose of Living

“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge, nor wisdom.” Ecclesiastes 9:10

The greatest purpose for living is to serve God. He has work for us to do. “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10.

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” St. Mother Teresa. Be faithful in small things.

Brother Lawrence, a monk who lived in France during the 17th century saw His work for God as serving in the kitchen. He would stop his work and praise God for the privilege of knowing Him and serving Him this way.

Nick Vujicic was born without arms and legs determined to find a purpose for his life. Against tremendous challenges, he’s become an international motivational speaker, founded his own company, and speaks about his “ridiculously good life” in his book Life Without Limits.

He writes, “recognizing your purpose means everything. I assure you that you too have something to contribute. You may not see it now, but you would not be on this planet if that were not true. I know for certain that God does not make mistakes, but he does make miracles. I am one. You are too.” (Life Without Limits page 31.

How would you describe “true happiness“?

True, lasting joy is something God promised to those who believe His truth and love it more than material wealth.

Joy is a heartfelt response to everything God already gave.

It’s right at our fingertips.

“Now the God of hope fill you will all joy and peace in believing.“ (Romans 15:13)

"Lord, take me as I am, with my defects, with my shortcomings, but help me become what you desire me to be."

Do you need this promise? Have you wept a river? Have you forsaken hope?

Joy will come. Joy comes because Jesus comes. And Jesus came because God loves you.

The greatest news in the world is not that God made the world, but that God loves the world. He loves you. You did not earn this love. And his love for you will not fade if you lose your way. His love for you will not diminish if your discipline does.

You have never lived one unloved day.

God loves you, and because he does, you can be assured joy will come.

As we pursue the Lord for help, David’s prayers in the Psalms provide wonderful patterns for us to follow. He faced many dire situations and continued to turn to God. Psalm 86 starts with an earnest cry for help, followed by a reminder to the heavenly Father that David belongs to Him. Then he recounts God’s character—gracious, good, ready to forgive, and abundant in loving kindness to all who call on Him. These characteristics are the basis for trust.

Knowing who God is, enables us to trust Him through the crises of life. Because He is faithful, we know that He will keep His promises. His sacredness causes us to examine our lives and repent of any sins that are hindering our prayers. And His mercy, grace, and love give us the comfort we need to endure hardship.

God is not in the business of punishing everyone, on the contrary He is in business of redeeming everyone to Himself, no matter what we’ve done. God’s eager to show compassion to those who admit that they have messed up, including you and me.
