Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

It is one thing to believe there is a God, but a total other thing altogether to put your faith in Him. The devil believes and trembles, but he does not have a saving faith. In order to ensure your place in Heaven, you must believe Jesus paid your debt for sin and accept His free gift of salvation. It is my greatest wish that everyone of my friends and family will be with me in Heaven one day.

Prov. 11:29a - He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind:

We need to always be mindful that our actions affect other people. We are not islands unto ourselves, and we often hurt those who should be the most important people in our lives. Parents, we need to be especially careful of what we do because what we do can, and often will, affect our children strongly. It's not worth it to destroy our homes for our own personal pleasure.

Matthew 5:14 - Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

I recently heard that someone referred to me as a "Jesus freak". At first, it was a little upsetting, but as I thought about it, I realized it was a compliment. Jesus said that we are the light of the world. They are supposed to see a difference in us, and they will, if we are doing what we are supposed to be doing. Lord, help me to always be a light for you and point others to the cross.

Psalm 103:12 - As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

We all do wrong things; I've certainly done my share! Sometimes, even when we repent of those things and try to go on doing right, there will be people who just can't forgive and forget our past failures. Thankfully, God, the only One Who has any right to judge us, doesn't treat us that way. When we come before Him and sincerely confess our sins, He forgives us and treats us as if we had never sinned. How awesome is that? Lord, help me to be so forgiving of others around me.

Mark 2:16 - And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

As my pastor said in church last night, if Jesus didn't eat with sinners, he would have had to have had a "Reservation for One". We are all sinners! I'm so glad Jesus came to seek and to save sinners like me.

Luke 24:1-3 - Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

Jesus Christ not only died for our sins, but He also rose from the grave. Because of that, we know that His children will also have victory over death and enjoy everlasting life in His presence. Thank you, Lord, for laying down Your life and taking it back up again. Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Philippians 4:19 - But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

I learned this verse when I was a little girl. It's a simple verse with such rich promise, but lately it's been hard for me to trust in it. My needs are so great right now, and it seems like it is impossible for them to be met. I have prayed and prayed, yet I am still waiting for God to supply. Lord, please help me to never stop trusting and believing Your Word!
