This Isn't A Love Story This Is A Story About Love
I am a part of AACF UCR. Attend Sandals Church in Riverside and Higher Vision Church in Santa Clarita.
Welcome to my outreach and prayer blog :)
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. Ephesians 6:18-19
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 1 John 3:16
I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. Ecclesiastes 3:12
If love was a storybook. We would meet on the very first page.
-God

To all my brothers and sisters in Christ. To me you are like my family and many of you have been so kind with your messages and your posts show me how dedicated you all are to serving God. I get new followers each day and I always try to be consistent in quality posts every day. I pray for all of you each night and it definitely has been a blessing being able to serve you all and talk to many of you. If you were all here I would give each one of you a hug. Hope this brightens up your day :)

God loves you so much......
That every morning when you wake up God would leave you not only a text with encouraging passages from His Word and messages, but also call you so you could hear His voice saying “You are special to me, I will always love you first and you are perfect just the way you are”. Then visit you every morning just so you can run into His open arms and God will say, “I will be with you…….Always and Forever”. And God would do this every morning for us because that is how much He loves us.

"God doesn't have a Blackberry or iPhone, but He is my Favorite Contact. He doesn't have Facebook, but He is my Best Friend. He doesn't have Tumblr, but I follow Him. He doesn't have Internet, but I am connected to Him 24/7."
Let us all tear down the walls that keep God out of the picture so we can live lives dedicated to His will for us. By doing so it will allow us to not focus on things like beauty, fame, possessions, money, and the things that the world views as “good” but allow us to say “yes” to God when it comes to devoting our lives to serving others, missions, and living everyday by God’s Word. As God’s children we are called to be transformed by the spirit and see that there is more to this life than the things we see around us. Things in this life are only temporary, but a relationship with God will last forever. If there is someone you don’t know that needs prayer or needs God in their lives, do not be afraid to reach out to them, but remove all the barriers keeping you from doing so and remember to put others before yourself and God first and foremost.

God would like nothing more...
than for you to run to Him and say, “I can never thank you enough for all you have done for me and all the things that give myself and so many Christians hope. It is because of what You have done for me that I will devote my whole life to putting You first, glorifying, and seeking You out with all my heart. I may not be perfect and I do stumble, but I will always do my best to please You and NEVER stop loving and putting my trust in You. Lastly, I will be a light and encouragement for others and ALWAYS keep You and my brothers and sisters in Christ in my prayers and my heart.

Whether you know me or not, I pray that you will find something encouraging in my posts or a push in the right direction.
A call or message from God is the only one that can overtake and touch your heart every time. It is part of a plan that has already been paid for. He is always there to talk to you, even when you ignore Him. God is that one special contact you can always rely on and trust. You can talk to Him about anything and find words of wisdom and encouragement. God is the one conversation that will last forever.

Poem
Thank you God for all that You do
Your plan, Your promises, we belong to You
Every day we seek Your face
My refuge, my shelter, my hiding place
Through sufferings and challenges I will praise Your name
Surrendering myself to bring You glory and fame
I once was lost, but now I’m found
God got a hold of me and turned my whole life around
In scripture and prayer I want to know You
Always loving me and I will always love You too

I don’t need a lot of friends, a ton of followers, be in a relationship, rich, or famous to feel special because I am already special in the eyes of God. As long as I have Him, it is enough.

Why should one pray if God has already decided what is to happen, and he knows all of our thoughts? - Anonymous
Prayer is a blessing that God gives us to have deeper relationship with Him. God loves hearing from us and loves when we connect with Him. It is so much more than just coming to Him with your wants and desires. It is about a special bond between you and the one who loves you the most. He wants nothing more than for our commitment and for us to cry out to Him. I think it is absolutely amazing how such an awesome, all-knowing, and powerful God could love a person like me so much, to want to have a relationship with me. God knows what is best for us and as long as we draw close to Him, He will continue to guide our steps. We pray to grow closer to God, and because we are close to Him, we do not need to worry about what happens next. Romans 8:28 says: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. His plan always prevails and God is always enough.

The Love of God
The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
It doesn’t say that the greatest love is money, or boyfriend/girlfriend, or good grades, or popularity, or good looks, but the CROSS. We were so undeserving yet God sent His one and only Son to Die for our sins. God loves all of us so much and wants to have an intimate relationship with us. God gave us the gift of salvation through grace and still continues to surround us with His never-ending kindness, love, and forgiveness. Therefore, we must praise his name and glorify Him in all our actions. Remember that God has given you so much already so it should not be about us and the things we want and need, but all about God.
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

How Great Is Our God
To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy—to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. -Jude 1:24-25

Our Worship
Worship is not an event to be heard, but a lifestyle to be lived out every day. It is not just the songs that we sing, but also praising Him for everything He has done for us. It is your personal time with God where you can express your love and desire to want more of Him in your life.
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth. John 4:24

Nothing compares to You
There is none like You
No one else can touch my heart like You do
And I could search for all eternity long
And find there is none like You
Often times we try to fill that empty space in our hearts with the things of this world when that spot can only be filled and satisfied with God. We search and search for something to satisfy our needs when we had everything we could ever want all along.
Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.Psalm 37:4

Christmas Post
“There is a tree with a gift underneath it with your name on it. A tree that has no branches. It is a cross. The gift is your salvation. The greatest gift of all.” - John Gray
CHRISTmas is not about the gifts, the lights, the food, or the decorations. It is not about who has the most decorated house or who spent the most money on presents. It is not about just singing Christmas songs at church and partying all night with friends and family. This day is a celebration for the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is a day to give praise and to be truly thankful for this life we have been given because of Him. Christmas is not a time for us to be selfish, but a great opportunity for us to generous. A chance to give to someone in need so that they may have a blessed Christmas just like all of us and to really be that light that shines for all to see. This kind of light shines brighter than any amount of Christmas lights; it brings joy and hope to those who have very little. It not only brings happiness to those less fortunate than you, but also brings glory and honor to God. Bring joy to the Lord this holiday season by loving on others more this year and praising Him with all your heart. Remember that peace is the presence of Jesus so pray and invite Him into your homes on Christmas day. Carry this passion and love for Christ beyond this holiday season and allow it to fill your lives every day with more of Him. Remind/teach those around you the significance of this special day. How Christ was born on this day, sent down to this Earth by a gracious and loving God; A God that loves us so much that He would send His one and only Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for all of us, so that we could have an intimate relationship with Him and the hope of salvation. Praise God for this day because without Him, none of this would be possible.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. Isaiah 9:6-7
