Guilt

God is not asking you to destroy yourself. He is calling you to repent.

"You’ve repented from your sins and failures, taken them before the Lord, and was forgiven. But have you come to realize the power in that? Forgive yourself.

Stop kicking yourself over and over for your past choices. You’ve came to Jesus and repented, but you haven’t really accepted the truth about what Jesus has done for you yet. You still feel ashamed and guilty over your past and you keep holding it against yourself. The enemy will keep trying to diligently remind you of your past and continue to beat you up over sins that were supposed to be nailed to the cross. If your sins are forgiven, then you need to see yourself as separated from your sins. Stop wrapping yourself in guilt and condemnation. Forgive yourself.

You can go through deliverance, but if you don’t forgive yourself for the mistakes you’ve made, you won’t experience the breakthrough that you need to be totally set free.

Forgive yourself." -Lorryzel Badajos

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” - 2 Corinthians 5:17

"Whenever anyone who had been bitten by a serpent looked at the bronze serpent, he recovered." -Numbers 21:9

How strange it must have been for the Israelites who had been bitten by a snake to be told to look upon a bronze serpent if they wanted to be healed! But it worked. The venom that most certainly would have killed them lost its power, and they were delivered. They had to look at the thing that caused their pain, gaze upon the consequence of their unbelief. In a sense, they had to confront their sin head-on, acknowledging its existence and its effects in their lives, if they wanted to be delivered from it." -via Alo Galedo

Patience

“Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience."

"Waiting... it's a gift." -Tito Dino

"God's delays are not God's denials." -Anonymous

"I'm not a naturally patient person. In fact, I'm extremely impatient. But it's definitely something I'm working on, and I'm absolutely sure it'll pay off in some way, shape or form, for everything that I do in future. There are so many things that I wish I wanted right now. But maybe God doesn't want to give them to me now because He feels like I'm not ready for those blessings. And perhaps He wants me to wait so that I can appreciate them to the fullest after waiting for so long. So for now, here I am, waiting." -Alyssa Belle Zaporteza

"God has a vision for all of us, we many not know what it is, but can anyone see the results of the masterpiece before the artist?" -Ariel Bejer

"God works in such mysterious, wonderous ways. You will realize His plans for you when the time is right." -Gerry Pagal

"Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew." -St. Francis de Sales

"Standing in line can be intensely aggravating. Whether it be waiting at the border or simply waiting in a line at the bank, standing in line can be pretty difficult. Usually, I meet this challenge with my ipod, a few songs, a podcast or a game or two.

But today was different. Instead, I chose not to go with my Ipod. I chose to wait and to stand as silently. It was a weirdly interesting experience. In 15 minutes,

- I made faces at an infant.
- I helped direct an elderly lady to another line.
- I smile a young person that looked like he was having a bad day.

I don’t want to sound pretentious, but I felt a lot better by not hiding behind my headphones. I was able to interact with those around me and possibly make things better simply by choosing to wait, by choosing to stand and not succumb to a desire to be entertained. All of these graces were had simply by waiting.

Sometimes, waiting is forced upon us and it an be difficult, but when a choice is made to deliberately do whatever is required (ie: wait, stand in line etc), I find there is a grace to be had that increases patience a hundred fold. Instead of being in a rush, choose to wait, choose to be a patient, and turn something that is seemingly irritable into an act of kindness.

Patience then, isn’t merely a quality, it’s a choice.

A choice that requires and rewards ultimately with grace." -Richie Aldaba

Purity

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." -Matthew 5:8

Bravery

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff give me courage." -Psalm 23:4


"I have a theory that selflessness and bravery aren’t all that different." -Veronica Roth

Fear

"The phrase "do not be afraid" is written in the Bible 365 times, that's a daily reminder from God to live everyday of this new year being FEARLESS." -Anonymous

"Fear ends, when FAITH beings." -Matthew 14:27

"Now I’m back and ready to bring it. Back then the devil painted a laser dot on me and now I believe I’m a walking spiritual target that he wants to take out. But I’ve got God on my side and fact: no weapon formed against Me shall prosper." -KnowGodKnowLove

"I told you, “You are my servant.” I have chosen you and not rejected you. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you! Don’t be frightened, for I am your God! I strengthen you - yes, I help you - yes, I uphold you with my saving right hand!" -Isaiah 41:9-10

"You must realize that all spiritual warfare starts inside. And so comes the real question: in your fear, are you producing good fruit for the Lord?" -Dad and Mom

"In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like Him. ¹⁸There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." -1 John 4:17-18

"Because if every time something scary comes up, you decide to run, y’all are gonna be runnin’ for the rest of your lives." -Sister Act II

"Do not be afraid, just have faith." -Mark 5:36

Pure speech.

God's last name is not "Dammit."

Love

"We love because He loved us first." -1 John 4:19"Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' ³⁸This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' " -Matthew 22:37-39

"Love never fails." -1 Corinthians 13:8

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ²If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

⁸Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. ¹¹When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. ¹²Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

¹³And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." -1 Corinthians 13:1-13
"To love someone isn't to do things for them but
to reveal the beauty in them." -Father Dave

"The same is what God wants us to do. To find the one, we need to be the one." -KnowGodKnowLove

"Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires." -Song of Solomon 2:7

"What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like." -Saint Augustine

"We don’t JUST want to be loved at our best; other people can easily love us at our best. We want to know that we are loved at our worst - in our hurts, weaknesses, burdens and everything that makes us human… imperfect." -Christopher West, Theology of the Body: Freedom to Love

"The Right Way to do it: #4

Let her be. So, you know you gotta bring her closer to God, give it time, give time with her friends…does it mean you should be “hanging out” everyday? Naw… Let her be. In the sense that you give her room to breathe in the familiar air of her house, her family, and just let her be her. Trust me, these days with attachment issues, no one wants that. Jesus Christ spent time alone to reflect and let it all soak in…so why can’t it be the same for each others discernment on relationships? Heck, might even help you.

One Love,

TheRightWay"

"As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. John 15:9

An ancient story in Church history tells of the apostle John. He would constantly repeat the words, “Little children, love one another.” And his disciples became weary of the phrase. Finally, in his old age, as John was being carried to their assembly, the disciples asked him, “Why do you always repeat these same words?” “Because friends,” John replied, “it is the Lord’s commandment — and if only this one were fulfilled, it would be enough.”
What is the greatest witness we Christians have to the world around us? I can tell you it’s not only our words of wisdom, though they may be wonderful. It’s not only our knowledge of the Scripture, though it may be vast. It’s not only our material giving, though it may be great.
The greatest witness we have is the kind of love that the Bible defines above. Have we been patient and kind with others? Perhaps instead, we’ve been envious, boastful, proud, rude, self seeking or easily angered. I know I have. Have we kept a record of wrongs? Have we we delighted in evil? When we express the true love of God, we always rejoice in the truth, protect, trust, hope and persevere.
Love never fails. Love can turn evil to good, darkness into light and enemies to friends. True love can totally transform the world around us.
I am humbled, are you? Let’s strive to start loving the way the Lord would have us love." -by BBCDD


"The (500) Days of Summer attitude of ‘he wants you so bad’ seems attractive to some women and men, especially younger ones, but I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is. He develops a mildly delusional obsession over a girl onto whom he projects all these fantasies. He thinks she’ll give his life meaning because he doesn’t care about much else going on in his life. A lot of boys and girls think their lives will have meaning if they find a partner who wants nothing else in life but them. That’s not healthy. That’s falling in love with the idea of a person, not the actual person." -Joseph Gordon-Levitt

"You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working, and just so, you learn to love by loving. All those who think to learn in any other way deceive themselves." -St. Francis de Sales

Reign

If we have died with Him
we shall also live with Him;
if we persevere
we shall also reign with Him.
But if we deny Him
He will deny us.
If we are unfaithful
He remains faithful,
for He cannot deny Himself.

Promises

Promise Him that you will never give up, even as the sin and evil battle their hardest just to see you in chaos, confusion and despair. Promise that you will never give up, because He will never give up on you.

Promise that you'll be the best version of yourself, even when the world throws the pain of jealousy, lust, self-destruction and emptiness at your heart. Promise Him because He did not create you to be living for the purposes of guilt, materialism, or pride; but he created you to be holy in His name and bursting with His love.

Promise to keep your eyes on the goal.

Promise to NEVER forget how much He loves you.

Make heartfelt promises to God.

Just do it.

You’ll understand why later.
