Diversity

Thank you for reading my blog. I appreciate all the words of encouragement. I didn't think anyone would read this or even take out the time to. So again thank you!

Diverse:
  • many and different; or distinctly dissimilar or unlike
Serving God and living faithfully can become a constant guilt trip of "trying harder" and "doing better next time." As I'm starting to get back into living a life that is worthy of God rather than living a comfortable life, I've come to realize that people I've surrounded myself with are so much more "GODLY" than I. I love hearing stories and I'm a great listener, supporter, and encourager. But at the same time I'm inspired to do more. I'm at a point in life where "DO MORE" is my new slogan. To do more for God, do more of my friends, do more for my family, my job, school, church, and volleyball.
There may be a quick feeling of being blue because my life for God is not as theirs. BUT! A friend quickly helped me realize, God has a plan for us and it's just not in His plan for me to have a plan like theirs. He has a specific plan for each one of us. Also not only that but we are all so different. Each one of us are unique and His visions, His goal, His path for me and you will be diverse. Look at the disciples some were fishermen, tax collectors, some listened, some doubted, some even denied God. But they all continued to follow Jesus in the end. We are all different people with different spiritual levels, we do not have the same intimate relationship with God. God is IN me and IN you. It's not having the list of accomplishments of what you've done in life, but at the same time it's WHO YOU ARE than what you've done. "WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO LOVE FOR YOU TODAY?" is a great question to wake up to each morning. Whose life will you impact today, tomorrow, this second?

I pray that we disregard comparing ourselves to others. Others who are more spiritual or who are more charismatic. But be joyful with the way God has created us. And praise Him for His creation of you, creation of me, we are prefect in His eyes. He loves us. And make sure we are asking God to use us for His will. I pray no matter spiritual high or low we are, we are all here to encourage one another to grow, to listen to one another to support, to pray with one another on a deeper level, and to fellowship with one another in the uttermost happiness. We are all one body of Christ with different views, different plans, different lives. Some are to help with kids, homeless, to evangelize, to go overseas, to change the Spirit of your own church, or to stay local in your community. I pray we be filled with the Holy Spirit while doing His will to glorify Him and be LED by the Spirit as well. Thank you God for what You've provided in our lives. I thank you for your grace, your mercy, and your forgiveness. I thank you for all the blessings you pour out on me each second of life.

Another person makes fun of you, they hurt your feelings, they put you down. You have to go through life pushing it all aside and keeping your head held high. Such things are merely just words, you know who you truly are, and you know what your val...

Encouraging Words

Responses and encouragement to True Impurity to reach TRUE PURITY: Hopefully this can encourage you as much as it has it encouraged me. (one response from a female and 2 from the males side) Female: I hope and pray that you will continue to feel FORGIVEN for your mistakes and actions in the past because our God is a good. He loves us enough to send His own Son down to die for us mere sinners. Enough to forgive us with His grace and mercy and to continue to overflow our cups with His love. Remember that you are a new creation in Him and that you're made new in His image. The old has gone, the new has come . You are indeed beautiful, blessed, and forgiven. Let the guilt and shame never separate you from our God but to bring you closer to His glory through your serving heart. Let His love fill you up and overflow you as a complete woman who is not needy and dependent on men and their affections. Let God break you free from the bandages of lust. I think first things first is to...

5 PILLARS OF MANHOOD (HOW MEN SHOULD LOVE & RESPECT WOMEN)

JAESON MAE'S LATEST BLOG: (thought everyone should check it out)  http://jaesonma.com/365-days-of-love-day-284-the-5-pillars-of-manhood-how-men-should-love-respect-women/ In our day an age most men are not men, they are boys. Most guys still want to marry their mom, have a women serve and take care of them, are not willing to take initiative or commit in a relationship, most men are still living in fear, not pursuing their callings by settling for “safe” because its easy Women don’t want to marry boys, they want to marry men. Women don’t want boys they have to put up with, clean up after and take care of, they want to be lead, pursued and taken on an exciting life adventure. If you go to most of the churches in the Western world today, you will find that there are very few spiritual men, instead there are many spiritual women. It’s disappointing, but I hear it from women of faith all the time, “Pastor Jaeson, where are the godly men?” The 5 Pillars of Manhood… 1. Lea...
