Just Forget.

A Devotion I Came Across .. PLEASE ENJOY!  
Do you ever kick yourself for your past mistakes? We do. We try not to do it because it is unproductive, but it remains a temptation when we make a blunder that we thought we had learned not to make. Evidently we are not alone because other people tell us they do the same thing. What is it about us and our inability to let the past be the past? Of course we need to learn from our mistakes, but having done so, why do we then form a weapon out of our mistakes with which to bash ourselves? Is it not bad enough that others will not allow us to forget? Must we remind ourselves of our own failures?
Nevertheless, many live their lives with little or no joy, or personal confidence because past errors have become a weight around their necks. Their past failures plague their lives and haunt their minds. The decision to move forward is often set aside because of the feeling of uncertainty and fear about their ability to make the right choices. Bound up, fearful and frustrated many do their best to just move on with life – yet they remain focused on the past.
Yet, in our relationship with Jesus Christ, we are able to lay aside our past mistakes and focus on the One who does not fail and the work that He wants to do in our lives. As Paul said, “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14 NIV In another place he gives his reason for his personal confidence when he writes, “Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.” 2 Corinthians 3:4-5 NIV
Out of one’s spiritual experience God is able, not only to heal and save the eternal soul, but also to give personal direction and confidence with which one can live his life – in spite of mistakes. Realizing that it is most often only we who are holding ourselves in bondage to past mistakes, Christ seeks to set us free from the past and give us newness of life through Himself. (John 10:10)
Sadly for some, their lives often conform to their misdirected manner of thinking. Unable or unwilling to forgive themselves they seem to sink further and further into the pit of despair and hopelessness because they have become obsessed with how they have failed in the past. The good news, however, is that we can be set free from that defeated way of thinking. In Christ, all predetermined notions of future failure are nullified. We are given a clean slate and a new opportunity to become more than we have previously been in life. In Christ, the past is transformed from a legacy of failure to a learning experience that we can build upon.
There is power in believing that, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31  There is even greater power in allowing God’s power and the guidance of His Word to transform us into what we had previously only hoped we could be Why not let the past be the past today?
Forget about it!

Stand Out and Be Encouraged! - Devotion

Good Afternoon Bloggers,
My first actual post;


Just wanted to share that 2 Timothy is TOTALLY worth the read! i mean every book in the Bible is.. but as for now go read 2 Timothy! Its a huge encouragement to go and share God with others, its all about forming a Godly character and then standing out! 
*I read it in less then an hour.. it was that good!*


Side note- All scripture is God inspired its used to teach, rebuke, correct, and train (2 Timothy 3:16);

teach: what truths can you discover that will help you understand God and other people?
rebuke: what have you been doing wrong that you need to change? 
correct: What can you do to become more Christ-like? 
train: What can you discover that will equip you for good deeds!? 

Love you All ... now go read it! ♥

The Intro

Hello my lovely bloggers,
I am totally pumped to share my devotions, learnings, prayer requests, experiences, and much more with you!
Blogging defiantly is something I am not gifted with, but i feel called to share what God is doing in my life.. so bare with me!

This summer, I was blessed with the opportunity to go and serve at Beaver Creek Bible Camp for four whole weeks! I started the summer off by attending a program/camp at BCBC called Leadership Development Camp (LDC). Here I learnt sooo much not only about leadership but about God and myself! It opened me up to get deeper into what God wants for our relationship and who I am in Him. Seriously, like the BEST thing I have EVER done!

But... one thing I struggle with is doing devotions. I tend to not make time for them and just don't end up wanting to do them.. (I know, I know it's horrible!) so that is why I started this blog. To get more into them... to share them and express what I had learnt! You have a part in this too... keep me accountable [Please].

So thanks for stopping by and yah... like I said.. Writing is not a strong point... Awkward.

Love,
Hailey
