Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” 1 John 4:12-16 if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in the …

  Anger and all sin are most often our enemy. I do believe there is a righteous anger, but it’s rare. Righteous anger is anger for the damage sin causes, or an anger for someone using love to hurt people....using Jesus to manipulate people. That’s why Jesus threw the tables. Most of the time though, anger is our enemy and not our friend. Rebellion and riots are a trap. Before we get stuck on anger, we must follow one truth to the next truth to the next truth. Truth leads to more truth. …

Justice as I understand it, is a payment equal to the damage done in an effort to restore the damaged. If someone hurts us, they can’t fix us and we can’t fix ourselves. Justice does not restore us. Loving over time is the only thing that can restore us. Demanding justice keeps us from loving over time, and only ensures we are not restored. Repentance is truly best for others...real repentance....real change. Matthew 18:23-35 “Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decide …

Not everyone we call a boss is a boss. Some are leaders. A boss sees authority as power. A leader sees authority as a responsibility to listen and serve people. A boss protects themselves and a leader protects their people. A successful mission is the fruit of a loving team not the result of one driving others. Even if wealth or success comes for a boss it comes with regret. Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord, brings wealth, and He adds no sorrow with it. …

Love is patient because it wants what is best for others. Fear lacks patience because it’s afraid it will lose what it wants. The first sign someone may really love you is that they will be patient. They won’t be in a hurry. Taking our time in a loving relationship only leads to love growing stronger if love rules the relationship. If love doesn’t rule the relationship, being patient gives time for the truth to be exposed. Be patient and know that if someone who says they love you is not patient …

The hardest part of living a loving life can be the times we don’t know what’s right. When we have no idea what to do next, we should pray and wait. Jesus is love. The Holy Spirit is our guide and God’s Word is our compass. We must read His Word so we know what is best and right, but even then sometimes choosing right can be difficult. Making a wrong decision is not the end of our journey, and it doesn’t ensure our failure. We all make fearful and faithless decisions, and we all chose wrong some …

If you want the power of God in your life, then fight to live a loving life. Below are a few scriptures that lead to everything I say on Instagram. We must know what love really is! It’s not a feeling. The closest you will ever be to Jesus is when you love Him and others. John 13:34-35 ”A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 “If I speak in t …

The greatest miracle ever is the miracle of salvation! It’s the free gift of God, lest no one boast. We can’t earn our salvation. If we could be holy enough on our own.....Jesus wouldn’t have gone to the cross on our behalf. Religion is a trap. It’s the idea that God loves us so long as we don’t sin. So it leads us to fight to be holy so Jesus will love us. That leads to either.....self-righteousness or shame. That’s not love it’s manipulation. Jesus doesn’t love us if we love Him. He loves us p …

If someone loves you they will protect you. They are not perfect in love, but they will want to be. They won’t defend their selfishness. They will fight to protect you at all cost. They would prefer to pay the price then to see you pay the price for sin. If they hurt you, they will not make excuses. They will regret it and be quick to repent. If we love someone we will protect them, and if someone loves us they will protect us. If we love, we are more concerned with protecting then we are being …
