TODAY’S WORD WITH MARIA FULCHER

MATTHEW 6:33

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Darrell & I have been incredibly blessed.  We whole-heartedly believe it is because we seek God each and every day of our lives.  Some days, it’s harder than others with all of the outside influences we have.  So, if you are feeling this way, you are NOT alone.  Do not let outside influences define how you seek God.  Don’t let others “decide” if you are a good Christian or not.  It is not up to them.

Matthew 7:1-5

Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

Romans 2:1-29

Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. ...

 It is between you & God & no one else.  God knows your heart & He knows how much (or how little) you seek Him daily.  God will reward you for every effort you make to seek Him.  It will be given to you as you seek Him.  Every day, seek His kingdom and it will be given to you.

Stick with what you are doing and lean on those who truly care about you and support in all that you do.
