Youngsters!

S. Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. 1 Timothy 4:12-13

O. We have to set the example for the believers in SPEECH, LIFE, LOVE, FAITH, and PURITY! We still have a voice because we are young but we have to show it with our lives. Old people get respect cause they are old and have been around the block but young people have something to say too. We have to devote ourselves to the Word!

A. I need to change my heart and attitude! I need to be an example every step I take! I don't want to seek approval from men but I do:) I want to seek God with all my heart and please Him and know that He is happy with me! I want to surround myself with God's Word!

P. Lord, humble me! Show me what you want with my life! Break me down even more? I want to see your face, hear your voice, feel your touch and smell you. Let my words and actions be hear and seen for your glory...nothing else!

They get discouraged too!!

S: Why did I ever come out of the womb to see trouble and sorrow and my days in shame? Jeremiah 20:18

O: Jeremiah is distraught with his life. There is never a time of peace, only hatred. Everyone is rooting for him to fail, yet he continues. Even though he is desperate for God, it has been hard for him. He is about to give up.

A: I know what comes later in the story, God wins!! I need to not give up, but to keep pursuing the good fight.

P: Help me to press on even when times are tough. Thank you for always being there and never giving up on me. Help me to see your truth.

Rip It Off!

S. Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. Joel 2:13

O. We need to worry about our hearts and focus on the inside. Outside doesn't matter but if we rip our hearts we have to know that God will take care of us.

A. I want to look DAILY for ways for God to take control of my heart, life and everything else! I want to seek Him with all my heart. i want to see anger but see His love more than anything:)

P. Strip me of everything! Make me new! Rip me aparty! I want to listen you and follow you with everything I have. Force me to seek you with my whole being.

Have Mercy On Me

S. "But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' "I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." Luke 18:13-14

O. This is a man that has realized who he is. Asking God for mercy because he is a sinner. He was humbled and exalted!

A. I want to be humbled. I want to put my status aside and call on God. I know that I'm a sinner and getting past my crap is what I need. God has so much for you me and I want to put my pride aside and love God!

P. Humble me. Show me mercy! I love you Lord!

It's Near...Very Near!

S. Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when then kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is, or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:20-21

O. The Kingdom is within us! 

A. I need to think about the end of the story more:) God wins! Everything and everyone that is so worried about the little things in life is crazy. We have the kingdom of God in us and we need to use that and express it. I need to be bold!

P. Lord, make me bold! Make me a man that seeks you everyday and loves you more and more. I want to be used by you. I give you my life and surrender everything that I hold onto. 

I Need A Heart Transplant!

S. "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight." Luke 16:15

O. Jesus is talking to the Pharisees and just rippin them a new one. he just talked about money and things, these guys think money and status is everything. Jesus just says the truth! PLAINLY! God knows their heart and it's all gonna burn.

A. I want to be a man! That only cares about Gods heart and what He wants from me. Money & Things will come and go, and we don't need them. God knows my heart. Change me! EVERYDAY!

P. God change me! Change my heart! Clean me! Let me love you more than money, things and status! I know you have a good work planned for me. Start to change me day by day. USE ME!

Take the poll!

Fear This Unfailing Love

S. The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. Psalms 147:11

O. The Lord...or LARD depending where you come from...loves it when you love him! Yeah weird but to look at his UNFAILING love, it's a perfect picture!

A. I want to love Him more and more! Spend more time with Him. Let myself go to fear, and put everything in His unfailing love. People fail me all the time and I KNOW that He will never fail me. I hate that I don't even put any weight in it...makes me sick!

P. God give me a burning desire to love you more. Let me seek you with everything in my life. I don't want to put my hope in my wife, kids, friends, pastors or anything on this earth! Only you!


That's unfailing love:)

Do you have ears?

S. "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." Luke 14:35b

O. We need to hear Jesus! That's why he gave us ears! Ears aren't just to balance out our heads.

A. I want to hear from God! Just I have to be seeking Him out and waiting for Him to tell me something...anything!

P. Speak to me Lord, I want to hear you! And can you speak up cause sometimes I have a hard time hearing:)


ps..If I have anything blocking my ears from hearing you Lord, CUT IT AWAY!
