It is easy when things are good to say "I am a child of God"! But when circumstances are not so good or even worse, when we sin ... we doubt that we are His children and we doubt if He loves us.

Woulden't it be great to know for sure ... that even in bad times ... and even after we made the wrong choices and sinned ... He still continues to love us with the same love as before and that nothing have changed ... we are still His children!

Here is the astonishing news ... His Children stays His Children and nobody or nothing can take that away! 
Not my words ... His!!! Have faith in that!!! Trust in that!!! Rely on that!!!

If you do that, it brings back your confidence, which gives you hope! Hope causes you to fight for His love and not give up!

So ... dig into His saving Grace ... His love ... plant your roots firmly next to the river of life ... for the day ... when doubt comes knocking! When you feel alone, when His love feels far away!

HERE'S THE SECRET!!! THEN YOU START TO WORSHIP!!! FOR HIS PROMISE!!! FOR HIS SACRIFICE!!! FOR HIM BEING PERFECT!!! FOR HIS GRACE AND  HIS LOVE AND HE KEEPING US UPRIGHT!!! 
WORSHIP , WORSHIP , WORSHIP! NO MATTER WHAT!!! AND THEN THE WATER WILL COME THROUGH YOUR ROOTS INTO YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR SPIRIT WILL WORSHIP HIM!

JER 17:7 - 8 Blessed [with spiritual security] is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the Lord And whose hope and confident expectation is the Lord . For he will be [nourished] like a tree planted by the waters, That spreads out its roots by the river;  And will not fear the heat when it comes; But its leaves will be green and moist.  And it will not be anxious and concerned in a year of drought Nor stop bearing fruit.
 

Romans 12:2 Be “transformed by the renewing of our minds.”

Albert Einstein said: “Insanity: is, Doing the same thing over and over again and then expecting different results.”

To maximize my success... To accomplish my dreams ... I have to think differently... and then do things differently ... Renewing my mind means leaving all unbiblical thoughts behind and doing what the bible teaches.

How do I renew my mind?
I have to study the bible Then the HS will enter new thoughts in my mind ... Only when the HS enters new thoughts to act upon and I act upon it ...

That is when transformation will take place.
The HS not only gives us thoughts to deal with biblical matters ... but also ... my life, and how to live my life biblically! I cannot expect God to bless what I do if I live unbiblical ...

 

This faith, in God, gives us hope, and when we have hope, our fear is pushed aside by His peace. More faith, More hope, More peace.

The H.S. in us gives us that power to hope!

ROMANS 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.
 

Every where I go ... even myself ... people talk about ... "this time of the year" ... we're tired and if only December holiday would come, so I can rest!

That is the truth and that is a fact! BUT also this .. God give strength and gives power so we could survive! 

We need to go to Him for aid! He has the ability to assist us! He is able and willing to help.

God has not forsaken you! No! He wants to help and He understands your circumstances! Ask Him to intervene!
Even the strong gets tired and weary! Every person some or other time,  needs help! 

ISAIAH 40:29 - 30 He gives strength to the weary, And to him who has no might He increases power.  Even youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly,  But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power
