"After all, you're not living under that old tyranny any longer. You're living in the freedom of God." Romans 6:14 The Message
After doing my Bible study this morning I was inspired to share what I discovered. Some people may ask the question of "God has forgiven every sin so why do we need to not sin??" Well in a way that is true. God has covered our every sin. We don't want sin to have a say in the choices we make from day to day. We need to throw ourselves into Gods word and to try and learn more about Him. And we need to ask him for help in everything. But we should want to live in a way that is pleasing to him! We don't want to take God for granted and use him. He loves us and he wants us to strive to be more like him every day. He wants us to talk to him just like we would talk to our friends. He wants us to confide in him and trust in him with our every issue and problem or every joy and happiness! True happiness comes from the Lord. Circumstances don't dictate our happiness... We could be having the worst day and everything could be going wrong.... but we could still be "happy".
Also a friend of mine was having a rough night... so some of us sat there and we just read the Bible. It gave all of us unconditional comfort. God knew exactly what we needed and He was there to supply that need. In that same way God will be there to supply my every need whenever I need Him, which is all of the time :). All we have to do is pray and ask God for His will in our lives and then He will help us through any difficult time. Whether it is heartbreak, or abuse, or temptation or anything that you can think of. God is there for you!
If you are reading this... thanks for reading my thoughts :)

Reading this makes me want what you have. That faith you have is what I had but I dont anymore. I have tried to get my faith back but I cant even though I wish I did so much.
