Where IS your heart????

"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matthew 6:21

Wherever you spend most of your time, that is where your heart is. 
Sometimes we are not protecting our hearts and choose other paths and our hearts get hurt and broken.
It tells us in Matthew 6:25 that we cannot serve two masters. We can't give attention to this over here and put God on the back burner but expect Him to produce awesomeness in our life. We have to FULLY, COMPLETELY put our treasure IN HIM!

" Do not worry about your life....what you shall eat, what you shall drink." Matthew 6:25

The Griep version would be....Do not worry about your life, what you will eat, drink, how you look, who you will marry. We are sometimes so absorbed in what's that we forget about HIM and if we are all about what's then we are putting HIM on the back burner again.

Worry means divided in parts. It is a distraction, a preoccupation with things causing anxiety, stress, or pressure.

Jesus said that worrying is unneccessary, unfruitful, and unbecoming to a Christian
(Matthew 6:26-32) because of the watchful care of our Heavenly Father, who always know and takes care of our needs.

How do we keep from worrying? "BUT SEEK FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and ALL will be added unto you." Matthew 6:33

Seek means to aim at or strive after. And His righteousness is His way of doing and being right.

Therefore...we shall not worry BUT seek (aim at and strive after) FIRST of all His Kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and THEN all these things taken together will be given unto you. (AMP version)

Strive after the things of God and He will show Himself so clear and perfect in your life!!!!

Football Games and the United States of America

Image
I was at a football game recently and it was so exciting seeing all the fans dressed up in their favorite gear to cheer on their team.  Outside the stadium were tailgaters grilling up their best barbeque and playing games to pass the time away. After all, it was 5 hours till the gates opened. Funny how fast time flies when you keep yourself busy doing things that you love. Once the doors were open, fans would walk a ways to even make it to the stadium. But that's okay because everyone was excited and ready for the big game. It was enjoyable seeing some fans with some wild get-ups. They certainly go all out for the game! Fans were packing in the huge stadium, everyone was wearing the same colors, however, only a few that decided to try to pack in the same stadium, took their chances and put on their team colors and were there to support their "the other" team. It's very interesting listening to the people around you. They yell at the referee's most

Standing STRONG

  Observing social media posts (and my own incident recently) - THUS THE REASON for this post! 😁 I've found majority of people who post are pitiful, selfish, weak little cry babies when it comes to different situations!   It's times we let our hair down and tell it like it is!!! It helps people when we are REAL about our self and different situations! We ALL have issues, even if you think that you do.I ASSURE YOU, you do!   AND THE bad part about it is SATAN KNOWS! He may see it better than YOU SEE IT! BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, once we see and realize it, then we can make adjustments and move on!   I hate talking about myself....ESPECIALLY about issues that I encounter.......my here goes...so bare with me. It's not about the success of dieting, because we can ALL be successful at something....BUT the knowledge of the root of the issue!   So, all my teenage years through adult life I've never really liked how I've looked! I've always felt fatter t

Mom Memories

It's amazing just how much you REALLY need your mom!  Your mom is always the one that you go to for every day questions, maybe cooking questions, maybe just needing knowledge about an issue. Whatever the case, it's awesome just to call your mom and say hello!  After mom (Bonnie Moore a/k/a Dear Grace) moved to Heaven last October, there's many emotions I've had to deal with. You think you're okay and then out-of-the-blue, something jars your memory and there goes the tears. You often catch yourself wanting to give her a call. My mom was a strong woman. I don't ever recall her being ill many times in her life. When she was sick, she would jump right back in the path of life and get busy. She was always helping other people, whether it was cooking meals, feeding their cats, taking them to the Dr, whatever it was, she was joyful in all she did. Mom would find humor in the small things. She was really a hoot! She loved to go to Branson and en
