WHAT IS REPENTANCE? 🤔

"With thee is the fountain of life."— Psalms 36:9

There are times in our spiritual experience when human counsel or sympathy, or religious ordinances, fail to comfort or help us. Why does our gracious God permit this? Perhaps it is because we have been living too much without him, and he therefore takes away everything upon which we have been in the habit of depending, that he may drive us to himself. It is a blessed thing to live at the fountain head. While our skin- bottles are full, we are content, like Hagar and Ishmael, to go into the wilderness; but when those are dry, nothing will serve us but "Thou God seest me." We are like the prodigal, we love the swine-troughs and forget our Father's house. Remember, we can make swine-troughs and husks even out of the forms of religion; they are blessed things, but we may put them in God's place, and then they are of no value. Anything becomes an idol when it keeps us away from God: even the brazen serpent is to be despised as "Nehushtan," if we worship it instead of God. The prodigal was never safer than when he was driven to his father's bosom, because he could find sustenance nowhere else. Our Lord favours us with a famine in the land that it may make us seek after himself the more. The best position for a Christian is living wholly and directly on God's grace-still abiding where he stood at first-"Having nothing, and yet possessing all things." Let us never for a moment think that our standing is in our sanctification, our mortification, our graces, or our feelings, but know that because Christ offered a full atonement, therefore we are saved; for we are complete in him. Having nothing of our own to trust to, but resting upon the merits of Jesus-his passion and holy life furnish us with the only sure ground of confidence. Beloved, when we are brought to a thirsting condition, we are sure to turn to the fountain of life with eagerness.

First Thing Upon Meeting Jesus' — John 1:40-41

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of [John the Baptizer's disciples] who heard what John said and then followed Jesus. Andrew went to find his brother, Simon, and told him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means "Christ"). — John 1:40-41 NLT

Did you notice the first thing Andrew did after he started following Jesus? He searched and found his brother and told him about Jesus! Each time we see Andrew in the Gospel of John, he is bringing others to Jesus. [1] Shouldn't you be an Andrew, too? Who is someone with whom you would like to share Jesus? Why not pray daily that the Lord will open that person's heart and help you see the opportunity to share your faith and Jesus' grace?

ONLY THE BIBLE 😌

Have you ever been surrounded by silence and wondered,
“Does anybody really love me?”

Maybe you come home to an empty room. Maybe there is nobody beside you at night. Maybe you see other people with close friendships, families, or relationships, and the loneliness cuts deep...

Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, feeling physically alone does not mean you are unloved.

The desire for companionship is very real. Wanting someone to talk to, sit beside, laugh with, or share life with is not something you need to pretend does not matter. But do not let that emptiness convince you that your life is empty of love.

Romans 8:38-39 KJB says:
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Think about that. There is nothing in this physical or spiritual world that can separate us from God's love!

Your relationship status can't, an empty room, rejection, nor another lonely evening...Nothing. God's love endures for ever Scripture says!

Hebrews 13:5 KJB says:
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

This verse does not mean loneliness will never hurt, but it does means loneliness does not get the final word.

When the room feels too quiet, talk to the LORD.
When the pain of being alone comes, Open His Word.
When the creeping voices try saying that you are unloved and unwanted, go for a walk and pray.

Do not measure your worth by who is or is not standing beside you right now...
Jesus Christ has not abandoned you.

You may still desire companionship, but while you wait, remember this:
You are not forgotten. You are not unseen.
And you are not unloved. God promised He would NEVER leave you, nor forsake you!

Warrior, an empty space beside you does not mean God has left you.
He is with you in the quiet too.

Trust in Him.
