Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13 NIV
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. (Isaiah 43:2 NKJV)
Our Heavenly Father promised us HE would always be with us. What a blessing and wonderful promise! We do not have to face problems, suffering, and pain alone. When we trust and obey, when we reach out in moments of need, when we are still and quiet, we can feel HIS Presence! God is our constant companion and is always ready, willing, and able to fulfill our every need.
Our lives are shaped by our early experiences and daily choices. The hurts we endure shape us. The opinions we listen to guide the way we choose to live. We must be careful who we are allowing to influence our decisions, choices, and actions. Being aware of our influencers and their decisions and actions is vitally critical to the success of our own efforts to achieve God’s plan and will for us.
Our Heavenly Father can only do what is right. HE cannot do evil or be a part of evil actions; therefore, we cannot speak evil words, commit evil acts, or think evil thoughts. We must always possess only pure thoughts, commit pure actions, and remain true and faithful to God’s Plan. We have God’s Promise of forgiveness and eternal life if we seek only those things in God’s Plan for us.
Please pray for me, as I am praying for you and all God’s People!
