Where do you abide

I don't know about you but it seems to me that there are a lot of people out there that are after us for one thing; that thing can be different for each of them, and us, but they are after one thing. What these individuals are after is something that will benefit them. There are tons of folks like that but not all people are like that.

However, I have found that I, too, can certainly look out for number one (me). There is no doubt that I have befriended someone at some time hoping to benefit from it. I am not proud of that fact but I will not lie about it. I will say, though, that it usually didn't work. I truly want nothing that isn't mine, that GOD doesn't have for me.

Today's scripture speaks of that...it comes from John 15:7, NKJV, which reads, "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you."

If we will strive to live for GOD and follow His commands, He will give us what we desire. We will find, if we do that, that we don't desire what we think we do. We will find that what we truly desire is whatever GOD wants. All I want is what He wants.

Hey, there are users out there; don't be one. There are those who are going to go into every relationship only looking to see how they might benefit; don't do that. Let's strive to trust GOD, and to lean on Him, and to seek His will. If we will do that, we will find that He truly does give us the desires of our hearts. So, where do you abide? I want to abide in GOD. I want His words to abide in me.

Be Blessed,
