I Am Yours!

So many people often do things in pursuit of love or being loved. People make decisions upon decisions to feel wanted, needed, and loved. Yet, often, it just seems like there isn't any love left in the world. Often it seems like you are all alone surrounded by a lot of people whom do not know how your heart really feels. You desire love, but no one loves you the way you want. Then you start asking yourself  "What is wrong with me?", "Why doesn't anybody want me?". When you start asking yourself these questions, the enemy knows that you are an easy target, and tries to lead you to a trap of hatred. You start looking at people differently. The love you desired so long, becomes a vivid memory which you have given up on. Life becomes nothing, but YOU! It becomes all about you and you forget others. You say to yourself, "If no one loves me, then I will love myself the most?". You start doing everything for your own.

The sad reality is that you, forget who you really belong to. You forget your true love. You forget that God has never left you. He has never stopped loving you! He wants you in His arms and wants to show you the affection that no one else can give you. You seek love, but you have forgotten the source of it's existence is within Him. What if you go back and let Him love you? What if you give yourself to Him and instead of all the silly questions you ask yourself so often you tell Him, "I am yours!". Would you still lack love! I guess you can never find out until you try! 

Psalm 31:7-10 

I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul. You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place. Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief. My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak.

Know That Your PM

A couple weeks ago I wrote about your AM (Attitude Matters). Today I want to remind you of the importance of knowing that your PM (Prayers Matter).
Often we underestimate the power of prayer, but the reality is that prayers do work. Your prayers are one of the ways that God unleashes His power in your and other people's lives. If your prayers were not important, would God constantly tell us to pray in His word. In fact through out the scripture, the power of prayer is evident and we need to take prayer seriously. If you don't believe me, do a Google search on "Prayer in the Bible".

One of the most important things to know about prayer is that prayer is the way you communicate with God. That is why Apostle Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-8 "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." If you don't talk to the person you are trying to have a relationship with, then you won't have much of a relationship. The same thing applies to God. If you want to have a close relationship with Him, then you need to make sure you pray continually.

So, perhaps every time you see PM, you can remember that your prayers matter and God enjoys talking and listening to you.
