The Best Life

Romans 10:9 (KJV) Says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV) Says, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." John 14:21 (KJV) Says, "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me:  and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."

Let me begin by saying that if you want to live the best life you could ever possibly hope to live, the way to do that is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. There is nothing greater than having all powerful, all knowing, omnipresent Almighty God dwelling in you via the Holy Spirit as you walk through this world filled with trials and tribulations. There are no words to describe the divine peace and comfort that come with having the creator of all that is walking with you through this life. You can go to Him in prayer anytime day or night and He is there to listen, there is no problem so great He can't solve it, no wound or sickness He can't heal, no disease He can't cure, and no situation He can't restore. I urge you not to put off accepting Christ for another second. Don't try to clean up your life before you ask Jesus into your heart because that is not necessary. God loves you right where you are, and there are no changes necessary for you to make prior to going to Him in prayer and accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Once you accept Him then He will help you clean up your life. So the first step to living your best life is to go to God in prayer and tell Him you're a sinner, ask him to forgive you of all your sins, tell Him you believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, and that He rose again the third day, and ask Jesus to come into your heart telling Him you want to make Him your personal Lord and Savior. Accepting Jesus Christ not only guarantees that you will have the best earthly life you could ever possibly hope to have, but more importantly it guarantees you that when your days on earth are finished you will spend eternity with Him in Heaven. Choosing to accept Christ is the greatest decision you will ever make.

The next step to the best life possible is to learn to trust God with all your heart. As the above verse of scripture taken from proverbs tells us we are to trust God, and not our own understanding. God is all knowing therefore He knows what is best for us, and because He loves us, He wants what is best for us. We must trust God even when we don't understand what He is doing in our lives. For example, if we apply for a job that we are more than qualified for and yet fail to be hired we can trust that God's plan did not include us working there, and that He will lead us to the job best suited for us, and that we will be hired. Wait patiently on the Lord, continue in prayer, read and study His Word, and have faith knowing He heard your prayers, and that He will meet your needs.

Not only must we trust God we must also obey Him. The Bible is God's instruction book for life, and it is thorough in its content. Read and study God's Word daily, and you will be amazed at all that He shows you from within it. Ask God to help you rid your life of the things that do not fit who you are as a follower of Jesus Christ, and He will do it. He may take some things away instantly and others may require you trusting Him to give you the strength to lay them down. As human beings we are all sinners, and as such we are a continued work in progress. There is only one perfect, and that is Jesus. We will all be a work in progress until the day God calls us home. With that said God knows our hearts, and He knows when we have a sincere desire to change, and have fallen pray to temptation. He knows when we are sincerely remorseful. On the other hand, He is also well aware of willful sin committed by those with no desire in their heart to change. There is a huge difference between the two, and make no mistake there is no fooling God.

If you want to live the best life you could ever possibly hope to live, I urge you to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, and begin your walk through this life with Him immediately. If you have already accepted Christ, and you have somehow drifted away from Him, I urge you to ask Him to forgive you and to get back on track with Him immediately. I encourage you to pray, read and study God's Word, and to trust Him with all things. I encourage you to live in obedience to Him. Living your life as a born again believer in Jesus Christ trusting and obeying Him doesn't mean you will never have trials and tribulations in this life, but it does ensure that you will not walk through even one of them alone.  Remember God loves you tremendously and wants what is best for you. You are His child. When we as believers trust and obey God it is to live our greatest life, and more importantly it is pleasing to Him. You will find divine peace, strength, comfort, and so much more by choosing to trust and obey God. You will experience a joy in your heart of a magnitude that makes clear it could only come from God.

If you have a prayer request and would like me to pray for you, send me a message and I will be more than happy to do so. May God bless you!
