He Started It

Prayer:

Abba Father God, You are an unlimited God.  There is nothing too hard for you, and there's nothing you cannot do.  Lord, help me to understand the areas in my life where I can use the resources you gave me to help others.  Help me be a light to others.  In Jesus Name.  Amen.

John 6:35 Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Jesus replied, “I tell you for certain that you must be born from above before you can see God’s kingdom!”
Then everyone who has faith in the Son of Man will have eternal life. God loved the people of this world so much that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life and never really die.  God did not send His Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent Him to save them!
(John 3:3;15-17 CEV)
So you will be saved, if you honestly say, “Jesus is Lord,” and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. (Romans 10:9 CEV)

THANK GOD. Christ Brings Real-Life

You have accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord. Now keep on following Him.  Plant your roots in Christ and let Him be the foundation for your life. Be strong in your faith, just as you were taught. And be grateful.
(Colossians 2:6-7 CEV)
My friends, I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you! (Galatians 6:18 CEV)Finally, let the mighty strength of the Lord make you strong. (Ephesians 6:10 CEV)
In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

God Bless You

Friends, be glad, even if you have a lot of trouble.  You know you learn to endure by having your faith tested.  But you must learn to endure everything, so you will be completely mature and not lacking in anything. (James 1:2-4)

The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. (Psalm 34:10) ❤️❤️❤️

 I pray that God, who gives hope, will bless you with complete happiness and peace because of your faith. May the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope. (Romans 15:13 CEV)
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,  for our “God is a consuming fire.” (Hebrews 12:28-29)

When the Apostle Paul was locked in a Roman prison for telling people about Jesus, he sent a letter of hope to his friends back in Philippi. A portion of it said:

“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finished, on the day Christ Jesus returns.”Philippians 1:6 NLT

Though Paul was writing to specific people in the first-century Church, his words are also true, for the global Church today. 

Think about it: Who started this thing we call life? Who made this world and everything in it? Who fine-tuned the universe to make sense? Who put you here—at this specific time in history? Who handcrafted your body, mind, strengths, and your unique-to-you personality? Who began this good work?

Before you were ever born, God already had you in mind. Before you could walk, talk, or have dreams for yourself, God already had a plan. Before you knew to look to follow or to worship Him, God was already at work—in you, around you, and through you. 

Sometimes, we are wasting time and taking up space without purpose. But—it turns out—God is intentional and makes no mistakes. To top it off.

God always finishes what He starts. 

The story isn’t over. When Christ returns once and for all, the work of God through His people will finally be complete.

Until then, let’s commit to God’s good work inside us. 
Let’s magnify Him in everything we do. 
Let’s believe that He’ll finish what He has begun.
