He Moves Mountains

  God created you and He has filled you with His eternal, unconditional, undeserved love. Before you were born, He knew everything about you. His love is so incredible that we will never understand the depths of it.   Now imagine His heartbreak when you choose sin - and ultimately, the devil - over Him. That is the greatest betrayal. And that sin drives a wedge between you and your Father. You cannot survive anywhere but with God.   We have to be strong and resist sin. The creator of the entire universe  is always here for you, listening to your prayers. He will give you strength to surpass this. So we have to break these chains and we have to run.   You may be running for a long time and you may find yourself in a foreign place that's scary but I promise you that God's not done with you. He didn't wake you up this morning so you could keep repeating your old sins! You have to break these chains.   Write down what's holding you back on a piece of paper and burn it. Get

  Jesus is enough for you; he is more than enough. You're nodding your head but let me add something to that. Jesus is enough; not your worldly possessions or achievements. Because you're expensive new clothes will fade and tear but Jesus doesn't care. He doesn't care about how you look or whether the people on this earth accept you. You could have nothing  on earth, but you still have Jesus and he is enough.   All these worldy things are not what's important.   " Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal." (Matthew 6:19)   You cannot say "Jesus is enough for me" and then go on obsessing over worldy possessions the moment you close your Bible. No! That's not how this works. If Jesus truly is enough, you will be content with however little you have. I'm not saying it's wrong to want new clothes or more friends, there's nothing bad about that. But wh

  Things are scary right now, with COVID-19, but things are always going to scare us. There's always going to be someone or something that makes our stomachs hurt and triggers your fight or flight. But you know what? Jesus is always going to be here too.   There will always be anxiety and stress and fear, but there will also always be Jesus. I'm afraid to write this because I'm doubting that I'm good enough to share about the Lord. And you've probably got some anxieties right now, too.   My favourite verse right now is Joshua 1:9. "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord our God will be with you wherever you go." Some mornings, when I woke up before going to school, I would barely open my eyes and already be thinking about all the terrible things I'm gonna have to face; gym, math, my peers. And one morning when I woke up, I sat on the edge of my bed thinking about all of it, and that v
