God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

You are the one Lord, that we put our faith and trust in. Only you can save us from ourselves. I surrender to you Lord, and may you execute the desires of the flesh, one day at a time. Fill me daily, with your Spirit, that I may live!
For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.
2 Corinthians 7:10 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.7.10.NASB
Let us all Remember, that this life, and our Faith, is not a game. We cant just dress up our lives to look good, but really not have pure motives. God sees everything, and knows our hearts. Not that we won’t make mistakes, but that we do walk in faith. It is Jesus who makes us right before a Holy God, and the Holy Spirit, who strengthens us to persevere, and be faithful. One day we will be made perfect, but until then, may we be filled with the spirit, humbled by the gift of salvation, through Faith, and walk with confidence that God loves us. May we show that same love to others today and every day.
Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.

I am following, who will go with me on this journey?

What is it, that you need to hear, you may ask? It is this amazing story of love, and self sacrifice. It is a story of how God is building his Kingdom, one soul at a time. It is truly a story, if you can hear it, that will change your life. Please take a moment and listen to this 5 minute story. (The link is below, sorry, still trying to figure out how to link)
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 11:15 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.11.15.NASB
If we hear, and don’t act upon our faith, what good is it? Is the Gospel, just for us to treasure in our hearts, and not to share with others? May it never be. It’s always about others.
But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.
James 1:22-24 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/jas.1.22-24/46337
The Gospel, is the power unto salvation. May we hear, and meditate on this message continually, that it may strengthen our faith, and those around us in the faith.
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Romans 10:17 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.10.17.NASB
Thank you Lord, for opening our eyes to see, and our ears to hear, that we might be saved. Not only saved, but to live life in freedom and hope, that we might display and reflect it to those around us.
How amazing is it, that we can have relationship with our God, and he hears us. Not only hears us, it says when we don’t know what to do, to ask him for wisdom, and he gives generously. Don’t know about you, but I can always use a little more Wisdom, regularly.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:5 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.5.NASB
God always hears our prayers, but doesn’t always answer them, the way we want. It is not our desires he seeks, but we must seek his will.
This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
