(This photo was taken at a park near Winterset, Iowa)
“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[a] is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
1 John 2:15-17 NIV
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Romans 12:1-2 NIV
“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.”
Romans 12:9-13 NIV

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
1 John 4:7-11 NIV
God’s love is the most powerful thing in the world
Nothing can compare to it
No matter where you are, no matter what has happened or is happening in your life
God’s love can change what you believe is impossible
Trust Him, seek His Word, believe, confess your sins and surrender you ways for His way
Nothing is impossible with God
“No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.”
Psalm 121:1 NIV
The evil in this world wants to distract and discourage you…
It wants you to turn you away from God
Not aggressively, slowly…methodically…in a way only the great deceiver can carry out
Don’t be misled, don’t believe the lies…look to God in prayer with everything
Nothing in your life is too small or insignificant to talk to God about…
That’s what evil wants you to believe
Turn to God in faith and trust His way
Let the Word of God be your guide to living the best you can in everything…every day
“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.”
Psalm 23:1-3 NIV
(This photo was taken along the shore of Lake Superior in Ashland, Wisconsin)
“The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.“
Psalm 28:7 NIV
A close relationship with the Lord is uplifting, encouraging and provides strength to us
God has told us we will get knocked down in this world and yet He is always there to help us up
To guide us and keep us going
All things are possible with Him, even when…especially when we can’t see which way to go
I trust in God
Trust In God (feat Chris Brown and Isaiah Templeton) by Elevation Worship
“I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
and put their trust in him.“
Psalm 40:1-3 NIV

“Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.”
Psalm 37:7-9 NIV

“But now, this is what the Lord says—
he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.”
Isaiah 43:1 NIV
God knows you
He created you and He wants to have a close relationship with you
Do you know Him? Or do you just know about Him?
Don’t let the world define who you are
You are God’s child…He sent His only Son down from heaven to save you from sin and evil
He is waiting to hear from you
Turn towards Jesus Christ in prayer today…
He is with you, He loves you and He knows what you are facing each day
He Knows My Name by Francesca Battistelli
“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.“

1 John 4:7-9 NIV
There is nothing on earth in your life that is more powerful than the love of God…nothing
There is no situation, life circumstances, no relationship or struggle that can separate us from God’s love
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
