Daily Meditations of a Nurse Warrior
How can you share hope and goodness with others?
When we believe in something or someone, there is nothing that we wouldn't do to get or follow it. Such intention is also believing in and following God. Because of Him, he has become my daily strength, inspiration and truth; and what he has done for me he can also do for you. Know that if you choose to take the wisdom that He shares with you, consider placing it in your heart so that you can equip yourself with the tools for every good work (see Psalm 119:11, 16-17). #informationworthreceivingandsharing

Daily Meditations of a Nurse Warrior
When you think of worship, consider the following questions.
Who do you look up to?
Who is worthy of your time and attention?
If you worship, where do you go to worship?
What kind of worshiper are you?
Worshiping is often identified by going to a place of significance, such as a church. On the contrary, worshiping is not designated to a place. We are told by John that the beauty of worshipping is that "true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth" (4:43), any time and anywhere, because He is always and ever present and ready to listen. #pickaspot

What kind of family do you have?
Family can bring us a great deal of happiness and joy, but they can also bring us a great deal of hurt and disappointment. When such heartache occurs, we have another place to turn to and heal. It is He who provides us with an "unfailing love" (Psalm 143:8); and when we choose to walk with Him, we can trust that each morning will "bring [us] word of [his] unfailing love" (143:8). #unconditional #unshakable & #unfailing #LOVE

How full, or empty, is your life?
There are moments when life can leave us empty; and when we are in such a state, there is a thief that "comes only to steal and kill and destroy" (John 10:10). Fortunately for us, when we have Jesus in our lives, we don't have to worry about such thieves; because Jesus promises to fill our tanks so that we "may have life and have it to the full" (10:10). #livelifetothefullest

How great is His love?
Just last week, I shared with you how love is one of the greatest gifts that one could ever receive. Continuing to validate such a statement is Lamentations 3:22-23. When we are faced with obstacles and challenges, we can rest assure that we will not be consumed by them because of the Lord's great love for us (see 3:22). Even in the midst of our struggles, there is more good going on than we think. Consider trusting in Him and he will provide...."great is [His] faithfulness" (3:23). #lovewillseeyouthrough

How difficult is it for you to admit that you are broken?
Whether we want to admit it or not, we are all broken, "dead in [our] transgressions and sins" (Ephesians 2:1); and when we make the decision to put our pride, ego and other flaws aside, admit our brokenness and ask for forgiveness, then, "by grace [we] have been saved" (2:8). #Iambroken

How secure are you?
Your self-confidence and security can come in to question and begin to waiver when you are told that you are not good enough or will never amount to anything. Fortunately, you do not have to listen to such hurtful words, because you are already accepted and approved and "are precious and honored in [His] sight [and loved]" (Isaiah 43:4). So, the next time someone tries to make you feel insecure, know who loves, accepts and approves who you are. #youareloved #valued & #appreciated

Who are you?
Finding who you really are can be difficult to figure out; but when you follow Him, it is not, because He knows who you are. Take Simon Peter, for instance. Not knowing that Jesus already knew who he was, Simon did what Jesus asked of him and afterwards confessed his sins (see Luke 5:8). Regardless, Jesus told Simon to not "be afraid [and] from [then] on [he would] fish for people" (5:10). Hence, Simon "left everything and followed" (5:10-11). If this is what you really want, you, too, can do the same. #findingyourtrueself & #purpose

How wonderful is it to find someone that you love with all of your heart and can't live without?
For David, it was his desire to be with and worship the Lord. David wanted to "dwell in the house of the LORD" so that he could "gaze on the beauty of the LORD and...seek him in his temple" (Psalm 27:4). We, too, can also have what David had; and when we know what we truly have, we should never take such a gift for granted and always cherish and love them. #tolove #joy & #happiness
