Evaluation by God's standards and not by the world's standards

Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
(Romans 12:3 NLT)

Evaluate yourselves using God's standards and not by the world's standards. I would rather be evaluated by a perfect God than an imperfect world. Lord open our eyes to see people beyond their mistakes and also us to serve with a gracious heart

Purpose beyond our understanding

Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways! (Romans 11:33 NLT)

I am so thankful that God's ways are beyond my own understanding. It's comforting to know that our experiences and trials have a bigger purpose that will impact our lives

Prayer obedience

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. (Colossians 4:2 NLT)

Be obedient in praying at all times, just not when you need or want something. Pray because you are thankful that you woke up breathing in fresh air. Pray for those around you that hurt. Pray that God will use your life in a mighty way! Pray for a deeper relationship with your creator. Pray that the Lord's grace continue to cover all that you have done wrong. Prayers to God bring clarity to your life.

Let your actions speak God's truth

Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God. Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything. (1 John 3:19, 20 NLT)

God allow my actions speak louder than my words. Give me peace when I get it wrong and rejoice in your grace when I get it right!

Faith through trials

These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
(1 Peter 1:7 NLT)

There are times when I wonder why all the trials, why the suffering?? God teaches us that these trials build endurance and draw us closer to God. I have to be honest, I ask God, isn't there an easier way...why go through all of this?
His response: "My beautiful and faithful child, do you not see the sacrifice of my son...the trials and sufferings he endured? The price for your life was death and all I ask in return is a relationship with you; yet you fight against my will. Therefore the trials and suffering comes from this constant battle with me; instead of letting go of everything you hold on earth to be valuable."
Lord continue to test me so I don't forget to rely on you for all my strength!

Remain Calm with God's love

For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”
(Zephaniah 3:17 NLT)

Be joyous with no anxiety, as God has overcame any trial you fear! Be strong and remain faithful as he is our mighty savior

Don't be fooled by untruthful words :-)

Wise words bring approval, but fools are destroyed by their own words. (Ecclesiastes 10:12 NLT)

Although today April 1 is a day known for jokes; let us remember not to be fooled by lies that destroy....have fun with pure joy and in good fun, but always keep God in the center so your words bring truth and life
