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.
Continue To Encourage One Another Through The Love Of God
God, I pray that you will speak through me each day. Use me to lift the spirits of these amazing people. Help them to understand that when they give praise to me it is really all for You and Your glory. Everything I am is for your kingdom’s cause. Help me to focus solely on You and not anything else. 1 Peter 3:8 tells us to be like-minded, sympathetic, compassionate, humble, and to love one another. We should be one body of believers in Christ who think of everyone else before ourselves. God thank you so much for bringing all these people close together even though we may be hundreds of miles apart. You have revealed yourself to my brothers and sisters through me and helped me live up to this verse.

I hope that all of you are living lives worthy of Christ dying on the cross for us
That you are not lukewarm as in Revelation 3, but have a passion and desire to serve God and live your lives dedicated to Him. Remember that things of this world are temporary, but God and a relationship with Him are eternal. Let us not focus on the things that keep God and our brothers and sisters apart, but what has brought us all together. I pray that you will keep this in your hearts because this is just so important to know and understand.

If someone needs help, needs to hear the Word, or just needs a push in the right direction we should help them. It doesn’t matter where they came from or what they believe. We should love our neighbors as ourselves. God set an example by being loving and forgiving to all people and we should be doing the same. We need to be lights to others through our actions and words. If you don’t have something nice or glorifying to God to say then don’t say it. We should NOT be bringing ourselves up by putting others down. Let God be the judge and we be the children of God that He expects of us.

Prayer
It is more than words you say before church, meals, fellowship time, and worship. It is how you communicate with God. Learn to pray from your heart and not only when you are in need, but every moment of your life. Use prayer to thank God for all that He has blessed you with and that He will continue to fill your life with His presence. Prayer is not a time to express your wants and needs, but a special time between you and the Lord where you can grow closer together on an intimate relationship level. A time where you can come before the Lord and just leave everything before Him. Pray for others daily and step out of your comfort zones to ask for prayer requests. Still praying for you all and please pray for me as I lead prayer for my fellowship this coming year. Feel free to leave any prayer requests you may have in my ask box and I will definitely write them down in my prayer book and will pray for you or whoever needs prayer.

We post, talk, and read in the bible about loving, encouraging, and helping others, but are we really doing it. Have you prayed for someone today? What have you done to show your family you love them, your relatives, your teachers/coaches, your neighbors, your friends, your tumblr/facebook friends? What about people you are uncomfortable with or people that you don’t know? I hope after all these you realized that if you haven’t been loving others as much as you could that this is an encouragement to you. Have you only been reblogging and updating statuses today. What about at school? Did you just go about your day just trying to get through it or did you try and reach out to someone or help someone in need? What random act of kindness have you done recently? It doesn’t have to be something big; it can even be simply stopping to pray for someone. Love others like Jesus did and show people where the love you are giving them comes from :)
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. Hebrews 6:10
Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. 1 Peter 3:8

A Passion To Serve
I really encourage all of you if you aren’t already to seek ways you can serve the Lord. Whether it be in a church, fellowship, missions, prayer, helping the sick, feeding the hungry, or being a leader for others. Serve with all your heart and let all your actions put God first and foremost. Encourage one another and build each other up in way that you will be fruitful and become the children of God that God expects of you. Pray for others and ask them for prayer requests even if they don’t ask you. Comfort and help those in need. Reach out to others and show them the God that you and I both know. Anyone can serve God; and I encourage you to pray to God in what ways you can better serve Him and His people. Be a light to others so they may see you and know that God is working in you. Serving God and His people is a great way to grow in your walk with the Lord and become a humble man or woman of God. Always Serve with a passion for the Lord and not for your own personal gain or because everyone else is doing it. I hope this encourages you to pray to God for discernment on how to serve Him and I would really love to hear from all of you how you are serving the Lord.

I Love It
When you can see God in others and KNOW that he is working in the people around us or people we see online. That you just can’t explain the kind of love that some people have in their hearts and a passion that could only come from God. Christians that go out of their way to love on someone who doesn’t even agree at all with what you believe. In countries where you think the love of God could never reach are being reached out to every day through artists, outreach events, and through Christians just like you and me. One day non Christian you have never met might read one of your posts online and be like “WOW that kind of love is special, a love unlike anything I’ve ever seen in a person.” Love others with all your heart and tell them where it comes from. I try my best to make myself the image that God expects of me so that when people hear and see me they will not be able to question that God is working in me. Thank you for reading this and I am praying for you AND loving on you whether you believe it or not.

Shine Your Light and Let The Whole World See!
The spark, the shot to the heart. You are the hope that leads me out of the dark. You let Your love shine down. So that the world could see. You put the light in me.
The Light In Me - Brandon Heath
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. -2 Corinthians 4:6
