Everyday Hope (It Gets Better)
Monday Matters

When God speaks He is full of love and truth, but when the devil speaks he speaks lies and offers counterfeit love. Life is already full of challenges and listening to the enemy’s lies makes it a zillion times harder. 

On darker days remember this, “The enemy knows your name, but calls you by your sin.   Jesus knows your sin, but calls you by your name.”  In the Book of Revelation you can read of God’s power and authority and also read how the devil, the prince of this world is continually bringing accusations against us.  BUT when you accept the sacrifice of Christ on the cross ALL your sins are forgiven and His grace is continual.  You have the hope of heaven where you’ll be fully restored with continued purpose.  Being “born again” is a term I don’t hear much anymore, but it means being made new with an implant of hope.  It’s a place the enemy will no longer have access to us …everyday.  For more encouragement in Everyday Matters visit DebbieGriffith.com

How we are free, everyday.

 
Tuesday Matters
Everyday Why Follow?

​
I follow Jesus because He is God and I trust Him.  He is holy and because of His holiness He must punish sin. He loves all humans whom He created but He hates sin and sin blocks us from having a relationship with Him. What to do? We can’t do enough good acts to remove our stains of sin. But because of God’s love for us He took the punishment and paid for our sin by dying on the cross.  He then rose and came back to life.  We now have a choice.  Do we accept the sacrificial gift He offers with the hope of living eternally with Him?  We are given the hope of heaven where we too will be fully restored physically complete and whole. 

Know this; God dearly loves you and is deeply fond of you. That’s one part but the other part you must know and follow is to admit and confess that you’re a sinner.  Oh the wonder of grace where God tells us in 1 John 1:9 that when we confess our sins He is faithful and just and He’ll remove all our sins. This is simply because of His great unconditional love for us which sets us free…everyday.

Only God Can Take Our Desires Away

 
Friday Matters
Everyday Itch


Hidden sin is attractive but once exposed, we see how ugly it really is. But often a person acting in sin can’t see the truth of how what they’re doing is not only hurting themselves but also others around them.  C.S. Lewis in, The Great Divorce says sin is like an itch that needs to be scratched.  At first it’s small but the more it’s scratched the better it feels.  After a while the itch becomes less, but you actually long to have it back.  Sin is that way, when you aren't being satisfied by it anymore, you still long to have it.  Only God can take that desire away. 
 
Sin costs us and the real loss isn’t just on earth but the loss of eternal life.   Good news is that if we’re sorry, change our ways and accept Christ we have life, which is what 1 John 5:12 talks about. It’s called repentance and it brings true freedom. Without Christ and His forgiveness, there is no life...everyday.

Forgiveness Matters

 
Monday Matters
Everyday Breakthrough


Cindy was a gal I mentored and even though she said she’d forgiven her father she continued negatively talking about him and avoided him. “I did forgive him,” said Cindy, “but you don’t know how much he’s hurt me.” She had become bitter. I sat with her as she cried and said, “I get it and no matter how great the offense is, we serve a God Who is greater and He promises to handle the offense in His perfect way. He’ll give us the grace we need while we wait for His justice. 

In Isaiah 61:7 we are told that, “Instead of our former shame we’ll have a twofold recompense.” How great is that because recompense is a reward, it’s payback for past hurts.  So think of it like worker’s compensation. You work for God and if you get hurt on the job, He will pay you back!   With God’s grace and time Cindy finally let go and forgave her dad, and with boundaries in place they’ve reconciled. God wants restoration for you too…everyday.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. The fruit you grow is rooted in God and comes from Him. Since it comes from God, it’s stable and not like worldly happiness, which is merely emotional based on what “happens" to you.
​Let’s grow with the bright burst of love that God brings to you and I as we walk in faith, not fear.  
Galatians 5:22-23
