God has been faithful to me. He saw me in the wilderness. He saw me. He saw me all by myself—when nobody could pick me up.

It wasn't about what happens to me in this life. It wasn't about what other people could do to me or how other people could affect me. But, it was about me and Him. I needed to get to know Him, not just about Him, but Him.

Thank You today, Lord, I thank You for the trees. I thank You for the flowers. I thank You for the birds. I thank You for waking me up today. I thank You for the love that You put in my heart—and I thank You for the strength that You have given me.

You show me how much You love me, and You show me that You're the one that I need to focus on. You love me Lord, like no one else can love me. Any kind of love that I need. Whether it's romantic love, friendship love—whatever kind of love that I need. True love is in You. It's all in You.

It was a combination of disappointment, disillusionment, sadness and loneliness, all wrapped up in one ball. It affected me so much that it was almost like I couldn't function very well and I couldn't live my life with joy—and I couldn't be thankful every day. So I thought. But I'm here to tell you my testimony and my testimony is that the Lord is faithful.

I ended up in a mess. Have you ever ended up in a mess? I ended up in a mess. One that I couldn't get out of. It was a deep, deep, deep deep deep deep, deep, deep, deep, dark hole. And I was depressed. Depressed, depressed. Couldn't get out, couldn't lift myself up. Now, a knew to pray, and I prayed. And I know that God, You heard me. You heard me.

He's the life that you need. He's the satisfaction. I prayed to Him I said, "Now, Lord. I have these needs here. I'm feeling lonely. I'm feeling sad. I'm feeling misunderstood. I'm feelin' this, I'm feelin' that. And what's going on with this and that? What's going on with my life? And then, what I've been learning is that my life is in Him. He is my life.

He knows you and He loves you just the way you are. All the mistakes you made? All that messed up stuff you did? Come on! You know! But yet and still, because of the blood of Jesus and what He did, it covers you.

Every good gift that God gives you. Nobody can take it away. And He's going to see you all the way through your whole life. And no weapon formed against you will work because your trust is in Him. So start afresh.

When we go through things and we go through pain— and we go through suffering, which everyone does—nobody understands. Nobody can feel it the way you feel it, right? Because no one has the makeup that you have. No one's been through exactly what you've been through. But guess who knows? He knows. And you know what? It's never too late. And it's not too late for you to learn who He is.

No one can take the joy that God gives you. No one can take the peace that God gives you—right? And the Lord forgives you for all of your mistakes. That's what His blood has done. That's what His love has done. That's who He is. Now, all you have to do is be still and trust Him. And let Him lead the way. Let him lead. Right? He's gonna show you great and mighty things. He's going to show you who He is. For real. For real! Not who somebody says He is. You will be able to say,

I began to learn to not have that requirement of people to make me feel okay—to validate me. Guess what? Guess who forgives me? Guess who loves me? Guess who validates me? The same One who loves you and validates you and will deliver you and set you free— from you.

The Lord started having me come away with Him and he started teaching me that He loves me—that He's more than enough. Then I started being thankful throughout the day. Maybe I didn't get love from that one, but then He would show me love and His grace and favor in another way. And I started saying, "Thank you" .

Lord, I don't know exactly how you did it, but today I'm grateful for You. I'm grateful for You. I'm grateful because You brought me up out of myself. You set my feet upon a Rock, which is Jesus. You pulled me out of depression. You pulled me out of darkness. Hallelujah!

One day. I guess I was 17 or 18 years old. I looked up at the sky. God, if you are really real—(Where you at?)—let me know. Didn't hear a voice. Didn't. Nothing strong happened that I could see. But my life started to change and I believed in Him.

One day the Lord told me to push back. Push back. Don't just take it. Push back. I push back? Push back. Start fighting back. You know who we're fighting—it's not people. We have an enemy of our souls, (right?) that fights against us.

Thinkin’ ‘bout life this morning just expressing in prayer Wow…been through some things… Then in my mind, I heard…”Yes WE have” in agreement, I thought…“WE”… Oh wow… HE took sin for US. HE knew no sin but took our place and died to keep the promise and pay the debt. He said He will never leave us alone and would always BE with us. HE made it a “WE”.

Have you ever noticed how the most powerful moments of inspiration don’t always arrive in dramatic bursts? Often, they come in the spaces between, the quiet pauses, the un-remarked parts of our day. At Life to the Full, we believe these subtle moments are where creativity is born, the spirit is refreshed, and ideas take root. Listen In Maybe it’s a soft chord on a melodic song, a voice on a podcast episode, or a simple gesture of stillness in your morning. These are the gatew

When Jesus establishes a relationship with you and shows you that He's there for you, that He is present with you because He showed up in that situation and blessed you in a way that no one else could, He will do it again. Why? Because He is faithful. Not only that, He loves you. He loves you so much that He overlooked and covered some of your issues that could have had tremendous consequences. You know it's Him. He'll never change. He’ll do it again. Do what? What you need.
