I've been ironing clothes today. The Lord keeps telling me that there's someone out in talkJesus land that needs encouraged.

Are you praying for someone? Keep going, you're prayers are being answered.
Are you discouraged? Keep resting on God's promises (in His Word) and keep praying, He is there with you. Do you think that you are not deserving of God's love? You're right. You are not deserving. Neither am I.

"For all have fallen short of the grace of God," Romans 3:23

But...even so....God loves you unconditionally. I do not deserve God's love. But He gives it anyway. If I do not forgive others and stay at peace with my God, I am saying, "God, I do not ACCEPT your love for me. Take it back. I am not deserving."

He does not look first to see if we are deserving....(cont)
 
By accepting God's love for you, you are receiving a free gift. By rejecting God's love for you...you are literally rejecting Him!

I did not grow up in a good home and sometimes I have a hard time believing God loves me. Those are just emotions though. God's Word says He loves me.

How about you? Have you received Jesus as your Savior, but you hold back on letting God pour His love upon you? Are you lingering there in disbelief and sadness? Let His light shine upon You. Give it up (your rejectness) Nobody is rejecting you but yourself.

Isaiah 62:3,4--You will be a glorious crown in the Lord's hand, and a royal diadem in the palm of your God. You will no longer be called Deserted, and your land will not be called Desolate; instead, you will be called "My Delight is in Her, and your land Married; for the Lord delights in you.
 
Amen Dreamer!

Someone might ask "But how could God love me?" you ask, "I am not good enough. I dont deserve it."

But that is precisely the point. He doesn't love you because you are good; you are good because He loves you! And you dont have to earn His love; you only have to accept it by faith.

If you have been jilted, if you feel ugly, if you struggle with your parents, if you are overweight or underweight, if you have been divorced, if you have lost your job, if you are consumed by remorse over some illicit sexual involvement- God loves you anyway. He may not approve of all you have done or do, but He accepts and loves you.

Receive His love. It will change your life! Shake off self pity and take hold of the promise of the Scripture: "If God is for us, who can be against us"? (Romans 8:31).



God bless

im with ya on that-the whole rough year thing!!....the oast few weeks have been way to much for me emotionally and i really needed to hear that!!thanx gals....love ya'll from hayley x0x0
 
Great encouraging thread sister, thank you for blessing us with this.

I believe strongly in the purpose of Talk Jesus to reach out to the lost while strengthening the faith of the current believers, all by the grace and power of GOD in Jesus Christ alone. Its a blessing to be here and to help others as GOD sustains us the same through Christ our Savior

Some things to encourage yourself to encourage others:

1. Pray for at least one person [meditated prayer] on Talk Jesus
2. Pray for the entire body of Christ here; wisdom, discernment, protection, etc
3. Respond to prayers to let the requester know they are heard and prayed for.
4. Be Christ like in helping others understand Scripture.
5. 100% self-less, 0% self. Just like Jesus Christ lived to leave an example for us.
 
Feeling Troubled :(

Thank you Dreamer so much for trying to reach out to us troubled Souls. We really do need the encouragement.
Please Pray for me? I know GOD loves me. But I get so discourage sometimes. Many times, lately I have been finding myself drowning in selfpity. Can't seem to break away from the wickedness with in myself. I begin to feel lost & all alone. Though I have a family it feels like it's the wrong one. Though I have a husband - I feel I should not have a husband & that my only place is with The Father, The One & Only Almighty GOD. Sometimes I feel my family is to far away from GOD & if I keep following them - then I to will end up like them. But my love for GOD will always be a strong love. Sometimes I feel so all alone that I feel Isoleated from the world - all alone & consided strange. Oh how my heart akes & my mind worries, even though I remember what Jesus said in Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? " Sometimes I even get scared & yet I really do trust in Our Almighty Father. Oh, these trouble feelings of mine really do trouble my soul somrthing wicked.

Hi Jonah,
You are not alone - the Lord will never leave us or forsake us (Deut 31:6). I do understand what it feels like to be isolated. Dreamer mention about emotions tricking you into believing your not loved by God, the same can be said about feeling our lives are off track or that one could understand what we are going through. God knows who you really are what your going through. He loves you with an everlasting love that will never leave you. If you've felt rejected by those around you I just declare the Lord's supernatural favor over your life (Ps 5:12). I ask that God's presence would be with you to comfort you and love your pain away. In Jesus name.

Thank you Sheep, for your encouragment. The encouragement really did help. Some times life disistions can really be hard & very emotional. And reading what - hadirfuss - said in her message "7 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Break it Off," {under; Bible Lounge > Daily Devotionals > Marriage Devotionals}helped me alot, too. May your Walk with The Almighty GOD & Christ Jesus continue to be a Blessed one.

Your words touched my heart, as I know exactly how you feel. God is with us all and He loves us all. You are not strange, you are a very committed and an obedient child of God and He is well pleased with you.

Psa 37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Psa 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

I am going through similar emotions and circumstances as yourself, I am not going to give up, even though there are days, which are extremely tuff and difficult and I do cry a lot. On those days when I am that low, He is that close, as He leads me to such wonderful scriptures as these.

Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Of course, some scriptures make me cry again, but its a cry of joy, as He is that close and cares for us all and knows all our troubles of our heart.

Psa 86:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
Psa 119:2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

I have just done a study on fearing God, it was very interesting.

Remember this world will not like us and I have come along similar circumstances in the work place myself, even when talking to other Christians and I find this one difficult to fathom out, as I am so eager to speak what God has taught me the night before, they just don't seem interested, they are more interested in highlighting Satan's work and gossiping about other colleagues for example. I was like that once, but the old me has to go. I still have some weak areas that needs changing, mainly my emotions and the way I express myself when speaking to others, but with Gods help I can do it.

Psa 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Pro 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
 
Thank you, Word of Life, for reaching out to me. What you said was & still is very encouraging.

And I will try to remember to dwell on the scriptures. For they are good food for our soul.

It's just that I truly do Love our Almighty GOD & Christ Jesus & I am so very happy for everyone who does Worship & live according to the Scriptures.

I do hope that they stay that way. For there is nothing & I mean - NOTHING - more beatiful then living according to the Scriptures of The Almighty GOD & Christ Jesus.

All the material items, toys & bright lights that man has created, is - NOTHING - but a descises that usaully leads to trouble.

What you said made sence & gave me something to think about. Thank you. :)
