Arg Notes #11: What to thank God for.

Junior Youth Fellowship

 My heart melts every time I see the faces of these young people. As a young leader striving to serve the kingdom of his beloved master, hardships and trials is inevitable - and yet God has been so faithful to bless me strength and divine encouragements.

I am the youth leader of these kids and young teens and to be honest - it's an honor to serve my Master with this ministry.

In the absence of partnerships and needed encouragements, I am still standing and surviving in order to lead this heavenly troops.

If you're a youth worker, a bible study group leader, or in any kind of ministry inside the church - and you feel like giving up,  think why the devil is giving that much effort to pressure and discourage you. You have the heart of a leader. God has chosen you and the growth of His kingdom depends on your ability to entrust your life on his faithfulness and grace.

Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand

Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Deuteronomy 31:8 It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”

Psalm 9:9 The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Psalm 23:4  Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;  your rod and your staff,  they comfort me.

Psalm 55:22  Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

Matthew 11:28-29 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

When Jesus said "Love them like I loved them", He didn't mean just those who fit into our idea of lovable. He meant those who are broken. Those who are scarred. Those who no one else will touch. Jesus meant love them all. We don't get to pick and choose. http://jesusiswhatthisworldneeds.tumblr.com

Ladies, wait for a good, strong, Christ following man who will protect and encourage you; don't settle for just some boy. Guys, wait for a woman with a pure heart and honest passion for God who will build you up; don't settle for just some girl.http://heisincontrol.tumblr.com

Jesus is not my boyfriend.
I’m sorry but I just don’t like the phrase, “Jesus is my boyfriend.” Just no.http://godmoves.tumblr.com/

Praise God even when you dont understand what He's doing.

We have to realize—our mistakes aren’t that powerful. Our mistakes aren’t too big for God. He’s not up in the heavens shaking His head saying, “I never dreamed they would do that. They’ve ruined My plan.” No, God knew every mistake we would ever make. He knew every wrong turn, and He’s already prepared a new route. He already has your detour figured out.

Scripture says that God knows the end from the beginning. If you’ve made some mistakes, the good news is that He has already planned a way to get you back on track! Just come to Him with an open and humble heart. Let Him wash you clean and make you new. Your mistakes aren’t bigger than God. He loves you and has a good plan in store for you! http://spiritualinspiration.tumblr.com 

You matter to me, to your friends, to your family. Don’t ever feel like you’re worth nothing because you are so much more. You are not the mistakes you’ve made. Learn to forgive yourself, because God forgives you. Accept His love and grace, strive to be a better person.  http://ayoxannna.tumblr.com
