1 Thessalonians 5:5

Hey guys. Another scripture post for ya today! :)

Today I chose 1 Thessalonians 5:5. 

It says:

"You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do NOT belong to the night or to the darkness."

This just made me think that if we are in God, then we belong in Him. We ARE His! Doesn't that make you feel special and loved? I know I feel that way! :)

God loves us no matter what! ---> Something we went over in VBS last night. He will never leave us nor forsake us! That's just wonderful!

If we're saved, we aren't owned by the devil! God owns our hearts and we are totally and completely safe! Wow! What assurance! :)

God loves all of us, each the same! More than anything in the world, universe, and beyond that! I don't know about you, but that makes me feel great! 

Well, that's it for today... But Im not forgetting the random picture! Here ya go:


Ok, so I know you're probably thinking "What they heck, Kaela?! Why this picture?" 

Well, I really only like this picture for the lighting. How it's kind of spotted over the rocks and some places are dark. Ignore me, lol.

 This was taken in the Smokey Mountains on a vacation we had this year. It was really fun! I think I'll do the next post on my trip there. :)

What do you think?

Galatians 1:10

Hey you guys! 

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in a while. 

I'm not sure what's wrong with me.. 

I may be suffering from writer's block, or something. :(

Anyways, I've had a verse laid on my heart recently, and I felt like I needed to share it with you all!

It's Galatians 1:10. It goes like this:

"Obviously, I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant."

I really like that verse because I feel like I can apply it to my own life. 

Mostly because I can try to find my security or pride in people, and what they do for me. 

Or, what I do for them. Doing things for people just to fit in, or to feel loved or good is the wrong way to go in life. 

Find your security and love within Christ! He loves you more than anyone will ever love you! 

*ques John 3:16:*

"For God so loved(s) the world that He gave his only Son. That whoever believes in Him, shall not die, but live eternally!"

Pleasing people can bring you to places you never wanted to be.

Trust me, I've been there.

Fitting in isn't worth it! 

God will never leave you or abandon you, even in the hard times when you feel like no one is listening.

Trust me, I've been there too. 

So, I hope this post has encouraged you folks to get out there and make a difference somehow. 

It's as easy as telling someone that Jesus loves them. It makes me feel good to hear it, I know someone is out there needing this message right now, too. 

Inspiration is everywhere! Go find yourself some! :)
