Exodus chapter 3 verses 13 and 14.
But Moses asked God, "If I go to the people of Israel and tell them that their father's God has sent me, they will ask, Which God are you talking about? What shall I say to them?" 'The Sovereign God," was the reply. "Just say, I Am has sent me!" Yes, tell them, Jehovah, the God of your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My eternal name, to be used throughout all generations."
Thank God we have a choice when it comes to how and where we live our lives. More than that, thank God for Jesus and our way to God's grace and mercies. You have lived without God for most of your life and now you are overwhelmed with grief and wonderment. Time goes by like a blur. You don't know what is going to come next and it's exhausting to always be fighting, arguing over survival.
The cost of everything and the wear and tear on the things we do have. People want stuff from us and we are expected to provide. Are you tired and worn down yet? Are you ready to come to Jesus? Maybe you hesitate because of what others may say about your choice. So you decide to wait longer, or not seek after Him at all telling yourself that there is no one but yourself. That's sad to think that we are here for such a short time, left to struggle, fend for ourselves and live in the grief of death.
Ask yourself the same question that so many others are asking. Is there something better than this? There is and it's found in Jesus. And it may come down to choosing Jesus over the opinions of others. I just read from 1 Timothy chapter 1 where Paul talks about God having mercy on him. It says, "I did not know what I was doing, for I did not know Christ at the time. Oh, how kind our Lord was, for He showed me how to trust Him and become full of the love of Christ Jesus." It goes on to say, "But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as an example to show everyone how patient He is with even the worst of sinners, so that others will realize that they, too, can have everlasting life."
Our lives can easily become a tangled mess of deceit, lies and confusion. All because we do not understand why this is happening and what is the purpose of it all. God wants you to know Jesus. 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 24 says, "God, who called you to become His child, will do all this for you, just as He promised." Your peace and understanding can be found in Jesus.
Colossians chapter 3 verses 12 and 13 say, Since you have been chosen by God who has given you this new kind of life, and because of His deep love and concern for you, you should practice tenderhearted mercy and kindness to others. Do not worry about making a good impression on them but be ready to suffer quietly and patiently. Be gentle and ready to forgive; never hold grudges. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others." There is a whole new way of living that is totally different from what you are accustom to. And God's plan for you is to enjoy life with Him, thankful for His love for you. That way in your joy you are reflecting Him.
Through Jesus you can find freedom from worries and anxieties, addictions and attitudes. It's up to you. Set yourself free by calling out to God and then let Jesus take control. Hold on tight to Him for you are in for the ride of your life.
Thank You Father for Jesus. I would never have seen this coming but wow it's true and can happen to anyone. 😊
John chapter 20 verses 30 and 31.

Psalms chapter 25 verses 4-7.
Show me the path where I should go, O Lord; point out the right road for me to walk. Lead me; teach me; for You are the God who gives me salvation. I have no hope except in You.

Ephesians chapter 4 verses 23 and 24.
Now your attitudes and thoughts must all be constantly changing for the better. Yes, you must be a new and different person, holy and good. Clothe yourself with this new nature.
Ephesians 25-31 say we should;
- Stop lying to each other; tell the truth.
- If you are angry, do not sin by nursing your grudge. Do not let the sun go down with you still angry---get over it quickly.
- If anyone is stealing he must stop it and begin using those hands of his for honest work so he can give to others in need.
- Do not use bad language.
- do not cause the Holy Spirit sorrow by the way you live.
- Stop being mean, bad tempered and angry. Quarreling, harsh words and dislike of others should have no place in your lives.
