things to never worry about

Call me a social media junky or whatever you must. I enjoy the connections on Facebook, the learning and friendships from Twitter and even the ministry contacts via linkedin. I check each one pretty often. Sunday evening as I was scrolling through Facebook I came across this picture. It is simply 5 things that we, as God’s kids, don’t have to worry about. Profound truth.

We will never be forsaken. That is God’s promise, and God doesn’t break His promises as we humans do. He is always with us.

Hebrews 13:5 NLT

Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”

You are useful to God and always will be. Your life has purpose. You have meaning. It is all based on what God says about you. No one or no thing can change that fact.

1 Corinthians 12:18-21 NLT

But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. How strange a body would be if it had only one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body.

Our future is totally secure and in God’s hands. His plan is for your good, your success and for loads and loads of hope. You are God’s kid.

Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

God wants to hear from you. We are not bothering God when we pray. Like a parent loves to hear from their child, God wants to hear from us and often.

1 Peter 5:7 NLT

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

We have to battle lots of lies, and one of the biggest lies is that we are not forgiven. That is a lie. It is time we believe what God says and even tell others.

1 John 1:9 NLT

But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

These are simple truths that out to help us get through the tough days and help us shout from the tops of the trees on the good days. God can’t lie. It is against His character and His nature. God says we are His, we have the biggest and best hope and that nothing, absolutely nothing can change this truth.

Ask God to help you believe this, claim it and share it. Praise God for the things we will never have to worry about!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
