Flee Youthful Lusts
2 Timothy 2:22
Now flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those calling on the Lord out of pure a heart. (2 Timothy 2:22)
The Lord is calling you to mature spiritually. The key to maturity is to flee from lust. Lust is what consumes you and pulls you away from the Lord. Ask yourself, “what is pulling me away from the Lord?” Once you know what your lusts are, the next step is to flee from them and replace your lusts with pursuing righteousness, faith, love, and peace. You are not called to do this alone, but to pursue the Lord with others. The Lord wants you to be encouraged by others and to be an encouragement to others. ~ Jeff M Newman

Christ Died For You
But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) God’s love for you does not depend on what you have done for Him. God loved you before you loved Him. God loved you, even when you were in rebellion against Him. God loved you first. Remember this, Jesus died in your place before you were even born. ~ Je…

I needed to hear that today. Thank you.
