From Sinner to Saint! (:

Hey everyone! I am just so excited to be blogging today. God has inspired me so much lately, and I can't wait to share some great stuff with you!

You know how sometimes you get in one of those moods. You get down and have a hard time getting back up. For stupid reasons you just get depressed.

I think one reason we sometimes feel like this is because we believe Satan's lies. The devil gets in our mind and says, "Taylre... your just not good enough." or "Taylre.. you will never amount to that." what about "Taylre.. you are soooo unworthy. God can never love you the way He says he does." ?


Well I am here to tell you THAT'S CRAP! lol. God loves you. He will never let you go. In fact He loves you so much that Jesus would rather die than be separated from you. WOW. That is powerful stuff right there.


Back to Satan and his lies. There are so many; he is full of them. But what does the Bible say about his lies? ....

John 10:10

"..and he comes like a thief

in the night only to

steal, kill, and destroy.

But I have come that they

may have life,

and have it

to the full."

Do you know what Satan's #1 lie that he gets God's people too believe??

You guessed it! Satan's #1 , and most convincing lie is telling us Christians that we are sinners. You may read this and say WHAT?? she is crazy. I sin she sins, we ALL sin. And you are exactly right. But, what I am saying is when you accept Jesus as your personal LORD and Savior, you are no longer considered a sinner in His eyes. You are considered a saint, who sometimes makes mistakes. Check it out....

1 Corinthians 1:2

"to the church of God in Corinth,

to those sanctified in Christ Jesus

and called to be holy,

together with all those everywhere

who call on the name of our LORD

Jesus Christ their Lord and ours..."

This verse makes me think a lot. What it is basically saying is God is calling on you to worship Him and have a relationship with Him. If you answer that call, then you are "called holy" and have a great inheritance in Heaven. You are God's. You belong to Him and completely to Him. He loves you with ALL of His heart and wants to have a relationship with you.

I want to leave you with the lyrics to one of my FAVORITE songs. "Cannons"

"You are holy,

great and mighty.

The moon and the stars

declare who You are.

I'm so unworthy, but still

You love me.

Forever my heart will

sing of how great

You are."

Remember. You don't have to live a life of sin and be considered a sinner. When you are a Christian, you are no longer a sinner in His eyes.

Remember this...

When you are saved by the Holy Spirit.. you, my friend, have gone from SINNER TO SAINT! (:

Thanks for reading! :D

Have a great day and God Bless! :)

God's Promise! (:

Many of us try as hard as we can to witness, and witness well at that. I, myself, sometimes get discouraged because of fear I won't have the answers to people's questions. One time (when I was probably 10 years old lol) I was speaking with a nonbeliever and they asked me a question of which I was unsure of the answer.

They said, "Taylre, if your such a "big Christian" and all, then tell me something."

I braced myself and nodded confidently. They spoke again, "Well, since you say "God tells you things, when is the end of time? huh?"

I just looked at my friend, with tears welling in my eyes, and told them I didn't have the answer.

I will just be honest with you ,friends. I felt like a COMPLETE FAILURE. I went home from school that day and prayed as hard as I could that God would somehow miraculously give me the answer (I was probably expecting an exact date lol). I had felt like God had sorta let me down. I mean here I was trying so hard to do the right thing and then I am challenged in a way that I can't win.

I sat down on the couch and began to read my Bible. Once again, at random, I opened up to an unexpected passage. And this is what I read.....

ACTS 1:7-8

7 He said to them: "It is not for you to

know the times or dates the Father has set

by His own authority.

8 But you will receive power when

the Holy Spirit comes on you;

and you will be my witness in Jerusalem,

and in all Judea and Samaria and

to the ends of the earth."

This is a perfect example of God's promise. Sometimes we get so caught up in our world that we forget there is a bigger picture that we NEED to be a part of. God will return, He promised. God does not break His promises. :)

Like I said, God will come back, but no one (that's right not one! lol) knows when, except for Him. God already has that millennium, century, decade, year, month, week, day, hour, minute, and second planned for his return.

While there is a lot we don't know about when he is coming, we do know that He is coming. I'm not saying it won't be in 2012, and I'm not saying it will be. It might be tomorrow, or today, or whenever.

What I am saying is our Father is the ONLY one that knows. The real question isn't when is He coming.. but will you be ready?

Think about it!

and Just remember...

God's Promise! (:

Thanks for reading!

God Bless! (:

Taylre!
