I have been studying about how to have a heart for God. This week I focused on words. You may say that is a strange topic to study when having a heart for God, but in reality it is one of the most telling signs about how close are heart really is to God because eventually what is in heart will come out in your words. You would be surprised about how much your words tell about you. If you are constantly arguing, cussing, complaining, etc, then you are given the impression that you do not care anything at all about God. But if you are always encouraging others, polite, and praising God, then you are telling those around you that you really do care about God. Here are a few thing that stood out at me this week.

1. We should not talk proudly or arrogantly.
2. Our words should always be pleasing to God.
3. We need to keep our tongues from speaking evil.
4. We need to ask God to set a watch and a door on our lips.
5. When we hold our tongues, the Bible says that we are being wise. We do not always have to speak our minds.
6. Our words will either "kill" or "pump life into" others.
7. We can keep ourselves out of trouble by controlling our mouth.
8. We will give an account for every word that we speak.
9.We should not allow corrupt communication to come out of our mouth.
10. We need to be slow to speak.

I know how hard it is to control our tongue, but we need to ask God to help us do so. Have A Wonderful Day!!!

This week I did a study about God's mercy. God is so wonderful that He shows us so much mercy even though we do not deserve it. Here are a few things I learned this week about mercy.

1. We need to show mercy to others just like God shows us mercy.
2. God is rich in mercy.
3. It is God's mercy that saves us.
4. We obtain mercy when we become a child of God.
5. We need to keep ourselves in the love of God.

We need to remember to thank God for His mercy. Have A Wonderful Day!!!

I started a new study this week about having a heart for God. The first thing we need to have is Faith in God in order to have a heart for God. So here are a few things that I learned this week about putting our faith in God. 

1. If we do not have faith in God, then we are more apt to be afraid.
2. We need to pray that our faith and the faith of others does not fail.
3. We increase our faith by hearing the Word of God.
4. We have peace with God when we are justified by faith.
5. We need to walk by faith and not by sight.
6. It is impossible to please God without faith.
7. Sometimes our faith will be tried, but if we keep trusting in God our faith will come out of the trial stronger than before.

​Have A Wonderful Day!!!
