What are you dreaming?
Jeremiah 2:5' This is what the Lord says: " What fault did your ancestors find in me, that they strayed so far from me? They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves." '
What you follow, you will become.
How does someone look about and worships will be? money? BF? GF? Academics? Computer games? sex? himself/herself?
You worship your dreams. What are you worshipping right now?
Matthew 11:28-30 " Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and i will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Do you trust God?
Psalms 147:4 God calls each star by name.
" He determines the number of the stars, and calls them each by name"
Genesis 15:5 " He took him outside and said, " look up at the sky and count the stars - if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him. " So shall your offspring be."
Isaiah 40:26 " Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing."
What more are we to God? The ones who He love us so much that he's able to sacrifice his Only Son to die on the cross for us. We even more precious than the Stars to God.
1) The moment you are born, and
2) The moment you discover what you were born for.
Psalms 139:13 " For you created my inmost being: you knit me together in my mother's womb."
God knows what will make you truly happy.
God is the only one who can forgive you...
Jeremiah 31:34 " No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ' Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, " declares the Lord. " For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."
God has created you fora special purpose.
Do you want to discover what it is?
Jeremiah 29:12-13 " Then you will call on me and come and pray to me and i will listen to you. You will seek me with all your heart."
Acts 17:26-27 " From one man he made all the nations, that hey should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us."
