A friend in the Storm

When it feels like life has failed you
and your mind's been cast in war,
please remember Love's forever;
I will pass you through this door.

You don't cry alone in battle,
even when you think you've lost.
Please believe this truth, My winner:
Heaven paid your victor cost.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18

Excerpt from the devotional gift book A Friend in the Storm by Cheryl Ricker.

 

God is so good....He knows when we are facing storms, trials and sadness.

I am so thankful that He sends those who can walk along side and support us and just be there.

Be a blessing !! Stand along side ...someone needs just the presence of Christ within you today :0)

Kerrie Roberts Outcast-Great song!!

Thought:

God uses the weak to lead the STRONG.

Knowing Your Place

While reading my emails I came upon something wonderful!!!!

Knowing who we are in Christ, what He has done for us, and where we now stand with Him

is so important for the believer ....

 

There is NONE LIKE OUR GOD!!!

 

Knowing Your Place

You are seated with Christ at God's right hand...
Nothing is higher than that !
God loves you with an everlasting love...
Nothing is deeper than that !
He invites you to drink from the river of His delights...
Nothing is purer than that !
He shares His heart with you in communion...
Nothing is dearer than that !
He watches over you with tender mercies...
Nothing is kinder that that !
He is with you and will never leave you...
Nothing is nearer than that !
He leads you according to the counsel of His own will...
Nothing is wiser than that !
He faithfully feeds you from His word...
Nothing is truer than that !
He is in you and joined to your spirit...
Nothing is closer than that !

-Roy Lessin @ DaySpring - Meet me in the meadow

I hope you enjoyed that and feel more secure in where you stand just from reading it....

God is so good to us!!!

Little bit of Love

Love is Gain - Pain is Strife - Die Krupps  

When we love we gain much.

I like to think of it like this....

When we love all these follow...joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Galatians 5:22)

But when we are in Strife....we only gain PAIN.

Sorrow, quarrels, division, hatred brews beneath the surface.

I like this quote because it is so plain to see the TRUTH of it.

LOVE this day VALENTINE's.....and continue to walk in it the rest of the year. :0)

And remember GOD is LOVE seek after HIM hard!!

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

QUOTE FUN!!

"It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt." – Mark Twain

Ever insert foot in mouth before ???

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment." – Barry LePatner

Well I guess the only way to learn is THROUGH ..huh?

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit." – Peter Ustinov

I think LOVE is a good habit to have...how about you?

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning." – Albert Einstein

Have you ever been afraid to ask a question or not wanted to be asked questions....somewhere in there is a seed for deception.

and 1 more:

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." – Dr. Seuss

Does anyone else think Dr. Seuss was pretty smart.:0)

Thanks for Listening

Reality Check

Sometime we get complacent...

 

Ever been there? Satisfied with the way things are.

 

And if we are not careful we can move right into apathy...

 

unemotional, unaffected, and generally just not interested.

 

Nothing wakes us up better then GOD

 

He wants us engaged and plugged in....feeling fully our lives...being present...

 

Keeping our eye on the NOW

 

and preparing for the tomorrows of our lives and letting go of the yesterdays.

 

God sends many things to wake us up....

 

LOUD PEOPLE --to show us our intolerance

 

IRRITATIONS - to show us our impatience

 

SICKNESS of LOVED ONES - to show us our disconnection

 

One of my New Years Resolutions was: WAKE UP & BE PRESENT

 

This is not as easy as I thought....but I will not give up.

 

The point of it is to be open to the ways God will bring me a WAKE UP CALL.

 

Then be willing to be present........

 

even when I want to HIDE

 

even when I want to DENY

 

even when it HURTS

 

Thanks for listening...just a little mental purging :0)
