The God who fulfilled the promise in Abraham's life and who graced Sarah with something beyond the limits of reality, is the same God who can fulfill the promises in your life. Don't doubt, don't say it's too late, God's time is not like ours.

Don't be arrogant towards those who don't believe in God, don't point out sins as if you weren't a sinner just because you think you're more righteous; if you're saved today, it's the result of grace and not your own merit. Be humble!

I haven't been able to read the Bible, neither the physical book nor the app. I know I need to, that it's necessary if I want to maintain a stable relationship with God, but I haven't been able to for months. I've read the whole Bible before, because I needed and wanted to know more about Jesus, it was never enough, I was thirsty. But for some time now I've been forcing myself to read it, thinking I should do it for God. Then I read or heard (I can't remember) somewhere that God doesn't need us to read the Bible to Him, He already knows everything in it. And that got into my head and I was freed from the burden of having to stop my daily chores to read the Bible. This also caused a certain obstinacy in my heart. Recently I'd only completed a few small Bible plans, but I didn't really read. And going through some situations in which I felt lost from God, I was reached once again by mercy, and I understood (remembered) that the need to read the Bible daily is because I NEED TO, even though I already know it, and not because God wants me to read it for Him. I need to read and understand and dedicate myself to improving for Christ, because every day I have the chance to improve myself through grace.

Since I couldn't find any Bible plan in the app that could help me with the reading (because it's usually just a few verses a day), I created my own plan. I don't know if it will work, it's a fifteen-day trial to see how far I can go, if I can at least create a habit of reading for pleasure and for humbly recognizing that I need to and not because it's an obligation.

🤍 Having a stubborn heart not only displeases God, but also leaves us vulnerable to the lies of the world and our own beliefs, which are not always in line with the behavior of someone who seeks to serve God wholeheartedly.

Any biblically tips on dealing with lust?

Hi, sweetheart!

Here: pray about what you want to do (it sounds like a shallow suggestion, but first of all, confess in prayer what you want and your intentions, and most importantly repent - 1 John 1:9); try to exchange impure thoughts and behavior for pure things even if it means changing your habits, your routine and even your social circle (Philippians 4:8); talk to people who can help you with this and who don't see lust as something common, it's important that you are understood in this struggle (James 5:16); avoid triggers even if you need to change your activities (James 4:7); read the Bible, dedicate yourself to truly knowing who God is and how you, having chosen a life with Him, should behave (Psalms 119:11)

* I only remembered these, if I remember any more I'll post about them

* I'm available to talk if you want

I'm reading the @YouVersion plan 'Overcoming Unforgiveness'. Check it out here: https://www.bible.com/en/reading-plans/44413

It's very important for me to show that even though I try, even though I make an effort, even though I set goals for Bible reading and prayer, I am flawed. I'm not perfect, my life with God (as a young christian) is not perfect. I'm very, very far from it. But I try and I know that I am reached by mercy.

I don't gain anything by being truthful with you, my followers and people who are interested in my blog, but I also don't gain anything by pretending to be an exemplary christian. I'm not! I'm flawed like everyone else, christian or not.

Hello, everyone ✨

I never tire of saying that God is faithful to us, even when we're not faithful to Him. For a while I was unfaithful to the Lord (great way to start the year 💔) because I felt empty and tried to fill the hole with other things (anything to distract me from feeling empty). And I kept asking myself "what difference does it make to be with God or not?". For God, I honestly don't think it makes any difference, because He doesn't need me to continue being God. I need Him more for everything, and it's not always easy to be humble enough to recognize that, not because He can give me one thing or another, but because at more times than I can count, I have no one but Him. God is my friend too. And recognizing the need for His presence is like reconnecting with a friend with whom I fought saying I'd never need Him for anything, and suddenly He's the only one who can help me.

I can't put my hope in myself, because I'm fickle. Nor in my attitudes, because I don't always make the best decisions. I put my hope in God, who has been constant since the beginning of all things.

I particularly chose this excerpt from the text of the Bible plan to make something clear: believing in Jesus and having a life with Him, choosing Jesus, makes difficulties more bearable. This doesn't mean that you should be opposed to taking medication or seeking medical help, nor that we should say that "depression is a lack of God" as I've heard myself. Walking with Jesus is the guarantee of not being alone, but we are no less human than other people because of it.

(the consequences of sin that are annulled by the blood of Christ refer to spiritual losses)

Hey :) my names Elise, sorry if its weird I'm reaching out, but I'm really trying to grow this year in sharing my faith and boldness inviting others to grow in their faith as well. A ministry that I've been connected with is hosting a Discipleship Training Program starting in a few weeks and I wanted to extend the invite. I think this is going to be a great way to start the new year and hope its some thing that piques your interest too. I'd love to send the flyer or give more details if you want!

ofc sweetheart, you can reach me into the chat if you want to. it looks like a great idea, God bless your plans 💖

These are for sure hard very dark times in the earth.. Jesus is very near those who love Him though. Keep the faith in His strength 🧡🌟🙏

thank you!!! this really matters to me, also your message reminded me about the verse in Philippians

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

here's the plan I've been doing right now, it's about Hope. it's only five days of reading and the verses are small, which is helpful in case I want to memorize them.

May the Lord lead you, guide you, and direct you as you seek Him in His Word daily. He is for you and not against you; He is a gracious Heavenly Father.

this is really special, thank you so much. God bless you! it's curious how even when we know all these things sometimes we need some help to remind

I would like to cheer you up, but I can't think of anything to say. God loves you! Here, have a bunch of hearts:

💚💛❤💜💙🧡🖤💖

thank you, love. This is really important to me ✨

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍💖

Hi everyone! Hope you guys are okay and that your holidays was peaceful.

I'm not having a good time right now (for some days) and if anyone feels like having a good/comforting word to say to me, just to light up this hard moment feel free to do it (ask or chat)
