Me Without Makeup

Me Without Makeup

This was me a couple days ago. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I’ve been unhappy most of my life, and sometimes lose my realization of God. I know he is there, but it’s been really hard for me. I’m known as this happy always smiling girl, but deep down inside, I’m so unhappy. I LOVE making people happy. I want to get into a business that helps troubled people of all ages. I just want to make people happy and make them smile. I need to seek God more, and stay focused on Him everyday! I think that is why I am so unhappy…I put my life before God. I need to put him #1 in my life, because He is!! I love myself, even though I sometimes struggle with it. I love the person I am, and I thank God so much for making me who I am! 🙂 Everyone should remember that they are beautiful and unique in their own ways! Always be yourself! Be the person God created you to be!

Praise His name today, because God continues to love you, as He will continue to do for all of eternity.

(Tag a friend and SAVE me for later inspo!)

God’s love is always present and always endures, no matter what. No matter what you are facing or what circumstances you may be experiencing, you can be truly confident at that moment that God’s steadfast love is with you.

There is never a wrong time to praise God for who He is and for His steadfast love.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever." Psalm 136

Whatever you are going through today, whether it is an incredibly difficult time in your life, or whether you have been blessed by God’s provision and protection, you can cling to this truth, His love for you will never change. Take a deep breath and give thanks to our Heavenly Father.

Tag a friend for encouragement & let us praise Him together! 👇💙

In the Bible God tells us over and over to “Fear

In the Bible God tells us over and over to “Fear not.” So how do we live with courage? How do we stop fear from creeping in?

(Bookmark me and send me to a friend!)

The best source of comfort and peace when faced with uncertain and scary situations is knowing God is right there with you. He promises to never leave.

For those who believe in God courage and strength comes from trusting Him completely, believing that He will “work all things out for good for those who love him.” (Romans 8:2), and then reminding ourselves of His promises.

"Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you." (Isaiah 43:1-2)

Take rest in the eternal and unconditional love of God, turn your heart towards him and when you are afraid pray to Him and He will be there for you. Prayer will draw you closer to Him as you trust Him more and more with your heart. And God will take up the space fear once occupied.

God is greater than everything in this world, He created you and and gave you a powerful and loving spirit. Turn to Him and there will be nothing to fear.

So how does your life change when you accept Jesus

So how does your life change when you accept Jesus as your Lord?

(Bookmark me and share me with a friend for encouragement!)

One of the greatest blessings of choosing to follow Jesus is being able to rest in God’s unconditional love. You no longer need to prove yourself or feel unworthy. God loves you and He is FOR you! You find your identity in who God says you are.

“This I KNOW: God is for me.” Psalm 56:9

When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the gift of Holy Spirit is given you. You now have God’s power living in you. The Holy Spirit helps you have faith and compassion. It convicts you of right and wrong and gives you the power to resist temptation and make choices to glorify God.

As you continue to pray to God, spend time in His Word, and turn your heart towards God, the more you will desire to serve God with your life.

You will be filled with such joy and peace. Your heart will be overwhelmed by what God has done for you and you will desire to live for Jesus.

What changed for you and what continues to change for you as you live your life for Jesus?

The trustworthy, faithful, miracle-working God of

The trustworthy, faithful, miracle-working God of scripture is the same God Who holds you in the palm of His hand today and forever.⠀

(Bookmark me and share with a friend)
⠀
Throughout the Word, God promises to never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), says He will be with us through all of life’s troubles (Joshua 1:9), assures us He will hear our prayers (Isaiah 65:24) and promises He will lead and guide us (Psalm 32:8, James 1:5) even through the desert seasons. These are promises we can stand on, promises which can enable us to praise God even when life is hard.⠀
⠀
I don’t know what challenges this season may have brought for you but I do know the character of the God Who is with you in the midst of it. I know He has you, I know He loves you, and I know He will grow you through it! Take heart, friend, and keep your eyes fixed on Him.⠀
⠀
What is one blessing you're still grateful for today? 🤎

His kindness is immeasurable.

(Save me & Tag a friend to share Kindness today!)

If we were to begin to make a list of all the ways He’s shown us kindness, our list would never end. Sometimes in our lives we forget to notice isn't our human world so full of distractions.

He’s not going to force His kindness upon us. He whispers to your heart often but doesn’t turn off your phone or your TV so you will hear. Because He is kind, He gives us choice. So why not choose kindness today?

Where has He lifted your heart when you were down, where have you being shown compassion when you thought you deserved less? When has another person shown you a kindness? When we are kind to one another we are living as God intended and honoring the compassion and forgiveness shown to us by Jesus.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32

Comment below and share a reflection on His kindness or set aside some time today and write that list! 💙

Christ chose, set apart and called you as an individual. ⠀

(Save & Bookmark this reminder for later!)⠀
⠀
Your inherent value and purpose have nothing to do with a guy. In fact, His blood on the cross deemed you worthy of eternal love and security before you were born—let alone before ever having the chance to enter a relationship.⠀
⠀
God has a path that is tailored specifically to you—that is right for you. So just like your life has its own purpose, it also has its own timetable—and your timetable isn’t based on someone else’s. What God has planned for you is meant for you and it couldn’t be better.⠀
⠀
So single ladies and former single ladies, where have you felt most purposed by God during this time?⠀

God wants you become the person He made you to be,

God wants you become the person He made you to be, living your best life for the display His love and glory.

(Bookmark me and Share me with your friends)

You are significant, unique and have a special calling on your life
which only you can fulfill.

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what
God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2 NIV

No one person’s calling is more important than another’s. It is important for us to discover and walk in our true God given purpose if we are to know the fullness of God’s freedom and experience His unfathomable love in our lives.

Today, many people are living in spiritual slavery without realizing it. They chase false gods of money, success and personal comfort—only to realize they still have an emptiness that can’t be filled by any of those things. We will never find fulfillment in comparing ourselves with others or trying to be like them or to have and own all of the material things we are told we should possess.

But the best news ever, is that faith in Jesus frees us.

In seeing ourselves through the eyes of God, and turning to him with humility and honesty we can be saved. We can live a life that is full of truth and purpose and we are made spiritually free in our faith.

When God sent His only son to die on the cross for our sins, it changed everything.

(Share me with your friends and BOOKMARK me for later study)

Imagine how empty your life would feel without the hope that comes from God's promises for us. ⠀

⠀
1 Peter 5:10 says, "In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation."⠀
⠀
What a powerful reminder that through Him, we are made new, we are made whole and we have everlasting hope. ⠀

You have gifts that have been handpicked by God and given to you specifically.

(Bookmark me and TAG a friend for inspiration)

God has a good, pleasing and perfect will for you (Romans 12:2) and part of that will is that each member of the body of Christ, the Church, be given a unique set of special gifts and talents to be used to the glory of God and the good of others.⠀
⠀
We deprive the Church when we try to be like someone else. The fact of the matter is that we need each other (and we need each other’s uniqueness!). The strength of the Body and our witness to the world is what is at stake here.⠀
⠀
The fact of the matter, is that the Body of Christ needs you – just as you are! Our ability to reach the lost world with the love, grace, truth and good news of Christ is dependent upon each member of Christ’s Body working together in the capacity intentionally given to each one.⠀
⠀
So, what do you say, sis? Will you walk in the path God has carved out for you? Will you live according to your unique personality, gifts and talents? I sure hope so! Because we need you.⠀

Tag a friend and lets celebrate each others gifts today! 👇💙

What is on your mind today, have you taken this to God yet?

(SHARE me and SAVE me for later inspiration!) ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Whatever you are struggling with or setting your mind on today, remember that it's already in God's hands. If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it. ⠀⁣

How truly remarkable that Jesus didn’t draw on his superpowers as the Son of God when it came to facing life’s challenges. Instead, when he was burdened or in need of spiritual rest, he would take the time He needed to pray, plugging into the power, perception, and healing that can only be found in God’s presence.

Keep taking care of yourself and growing your relationship with God as we move forward into the New Year. Stay resolute in your faith and close to the heart of your Creator and take the time you need to pray.

You are worth more than you could ever imagine.

(Tag a friend to remind them they are enough!)

Your worth surpasses all the material possessions and false images of the world, because in the eyes of God, you are loved and worthy. You are already enough and it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, drive the latest car or have the newest shoes. Because beyond the noise of this world that is forever asking us to be more, buy more and show we have more... there is the greatness of God's love, that makes us see the truth. And the truth is you are made in God's image, and you are enough.

When we read about the women in the bible. Esther. Ruth. Martha. Mary. These women changed the world forever. And I want to remind you, that inside of you is woman with that same power to change the world.

You are unique. You are worthy of love. You are never too much, and you are always enough. You are a child of God.

"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." - Genesis 1:27

I challenge you to view your self-worth through the eyes of God today! Tag a friend to remind them that they too are so very worthy and loved 👇

We must hold God’s hand as we walk with Him.

We must hold God’s hand as we walk with Him.

(Bookmark me and save me for later inspo)

No matter where you want to go, the answer does not change: the man or woman who walks with God always arrives at their destination.

If you walk with Jesus, you will always get to where you are supposed to go. Nothing in this world will help you fulfill God’s will for your life unless you walk with Him. God has designed our lives in such a way that the only way we will reach our true potential is if we do it with Him.

Only God knows our destination and how we are suppose to arrive at it. Allow Him to be the one who sets the course and leads the way.

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths" Proverbs 3:5-6,

God loves walking with us, he is a relational being and He wants to walk and talk with you, such is His great love for us. Ask today in your prayers for God to hold your hand and lead your way.

As this year comes to a close you might feel inund

As this year comes to a close you might feel inundated with messages that in the new year you have to be more, do more, make more, and be better in some way. There seem to be an endless amount of coaches, programs and webinars we should sign up for to be better and more successful. But guess what? Yes it’s nice to learn new things and improve, however the BEST coach and the best education, AND the best way to guarantee eternal life, (which honestly is the most important investment!) Is through trusting Jesus and becoming His child.

(SHARE me and SAVE me for later inspiration!)

When you are near to Him, He makes a way where there is no way. He provides supernatural hope and peace that only Jesus can give. And HE knows what’s best for you and will guide your steps if you let Him. And the best part? It’s FREE because He LOVES to help His children and He loves when we rely completely on Him.

God already knows your heart. He knows everything you've been through before, and everything you may go through in your future.

The Bible says: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand."

Move forward into the New Year strong in your faith, and if you haven’t yet decided to follow Jesus, if you follow Him in 2021 it will be the best decision you can ever make.

DOUBLE TAP and leave a comment with ONE thing you’re praying for in 2021! Let’s bring in the new year together praying and trusting in God because He sees not only next year, but for all eternity.🎊

P.S I care about you, thank you for being here, thank you for being YOU and I’m cheering you on! ✨

As we pray in faith God draws near to those who call on His name. ⠀

(SHARE me and BOOKMARK for later)
⠀
The more often we seek God through prayer, the more our emotions respond to the habit. The Christian walk is often a conscious choice to say “no” to our fleshly desires in order to draw near to God and hear His voice. While this is very difficult at first, it becomes progressively easier with time. What’s more, the reward of knowing God closely and personally cannot be measured!⠀
⠀
If you struggle to find the words to pray, open your Bible! Pray God’s truth to Him. These promises are yours in Christ! Many of the passages in Psalms are actually prayers. You can read these to the Lord and allow the truths of Scripture to sink into your heart while you do.⠀

God wants a personal relationship with you.⠀

God wants a personal relationship with you.⠀

(SHARE me to inspire a friend today!)

God, the creator of everything, loves you. He created you with a plan and a purpose in mind. The love of God is so great that it teaches us who we are.
⠀
A love that says, “You are never too far gone.”⠀
A love that says, “You have nothing to earn and nothing to prove.”⠀
A love that says, “I want you far more than you’ve ever wanted Me.”⠀
⠀
This is the kind of God that created us. This is the kind of love He wants us to grow into each day of our lives. This is the love that we get to lose ourselves in for all eternity, and never find the end of it.⠀
⠀
So today, right here, right now, if you’re feeling you’ve blown it, like you’ve gone too far this time and God surely must be done with you, I can assure you: He’s not. And you haven’t. It’s impossible for you to wander too far for His love to find you.⠀
⠀
