Finding Refuge In Him

Today finds me in a state of awe. Many decisions on every hand, and yet realizing that God holds my future in His hands and already has a plan created for me to enjoy my life in Him. So I am very thankful for the life God has given me; for the freedom I find in Christ Jesus; for the wonderful love of family and dear friends; for the freedom of movement within my body; for the immeasurable joy of having His peace deep within; for this time in my life and for every experience I have encountered throughout my life that has brought me this far, both good and bad; because it has all shaped me and molded me into who I am today; a Child of the Most High God in Christ Jesus!
I am more grateful than words can describe for His redeeming blood, His undying love, His amazing grace, and His divine deliverance! I am eternally grateful that I have come to know HOLY SPIRIT, my dearest friend; my comforter, my instructor, my counselor, my guide, my companion, my peace, and so much more. He is the lover of my soul and He completes me.... and I am forever grateful.
God is my strength and refuge, a very present help in time of trouble (Psalm 46:1). Where can I hide that He is not there(Jeremiah 23:24)? What can I think about, speak about, or do that He doesn't know about already(Psalm 139:1-5)? His ways are so far above mine(Isaiah 55:8) and I know that He desires to give me only His Best in every situation; so I wonder why would anyone would choose not to have Him in their life? Who can they turn to when they need someone to really listen? Someone who will not be condemning or judgmental of what they have done? God sent Jesus into the world, not to condemn the world; but that through Him everyone who would believe might be saved(John 3:16,17).
He's heard it all, knows it all, seen it all, and still loves each of us in spite of who and what we are. He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). and He takes the old person and recreates us into His Child through Christ Jesus. It doesn't get any better than that!
I pray you come to know Him and His power thereof and find comfort and peace as He guides you day by day to eternity! Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~

Thinking More Positively

While reading in Paul's writings to 'God’s holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi', I was drawn to how he continually tries to inspire them to dress their mind with good things and encouraged them to meditate on the best instead of the worst, to think on things that are honest and pure, instead of false and negative reports; things that were worthwhile to be praised and not cursed. He encouraged them to put into practice the things they had learned, whether by sight or speech, as the Spirit had enlightened them!He summed it up by saying, "Finally brethren; whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things.Those things which ye have both learned, and received and heard and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you."Philippians 4:8-9.
And the same holds true today as we prepare for our day. Let's take time to fill our mind with God's Word so we start our day feeling equipped to accomplish whatever God has planned for our day.
Just as a warm shower refreshes and revives us, coming into God's presence allows His Spirit to flow through us, refreshing and reviving our mind. It not only gives a good start, it instills the assurance of being loved by our Heavenly Father and there's nothing better than knowing you are loved. Filling our minds with positive vibes instead of negative aspects, brings a peace beyond measure while instilling that "I can do all things through Christ Jesus" attitude that empowers us for whatever may lie ahead today.
God continually blesses and empowers us day by day with different gifts and talents, not to store up for ourselves but to share with others; and He wants to be included in our everyday living in thought and deed. He is our proud Papa, our Daddy God (Abba Father) and He desires a personal relationship with us continually! 
So as you go through today, feel the freedom His love brings. Think on the many blessings He has already given and look for good things to happen instead of the bad. Remember that "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). Think about that and have a great day.
God loves you and so do I~~~

Choosing Wisely

So you awoke to a new day, drew in a breath and opened your eyes to a fresh day filled with fresh mercies God has given; and right off without even realizing, you began to choose how you will look at this new day. Because ultimately, the choice is yours! So you choose to get out of bed-or-maybe you just choose to lie there a little bit longer; the choice is entirely yours. Knowing you have somewhere to be at a certain time, the choice is still yours if you keep that appointment or not. It looks like it may rain today so do I go prepared, or do I just chance it?; the choice is yours. Passing others along your way, someone cuts you off and someone is driving crazy-hopefully it's not you, lol- so do you react with positive thoughts or negative thoughts? the choice is yours; it's up to you. You reach your destination and encounter someone having a 'bad day', so you speak positive words or negative words; the choice is yours....... or is it?
Choices come in everything we do throughout our day; from the smallest choice of what to eat, to the greatest life-altering decision needing to be made; from the time we awake to the time we rest; and the choice to react with a positive or negative responses is totally up to each one of us- It truly is our choice! But I wonder if we could see how our choice would affect the lives of all those involved; how we might choose more wisely.
I have learned that the choices I've made affect not only my life but all those around me, and how my choices even affect those watching my reaction to certain situations that arise. Having lost precious loved ones along my journey in life, it warms my heart to hear others share memories of how my loved one had affected their life and how they regretted not ever telling them; but they had watched our reactions to stressful situations; had listened to our responses as others had demeaned or chosen to be cruel to others, while my loved one had been kind and caring instead, and how their kindness had touched their lives in such a way that it caused them to want to pattern their own life with that same care they knew my loved one had.
I believe the effects our choice of character has on others is why Paul encourages us in Galatians 5:22-23 to allow the fruits of the Spirit to shine forth in our lives and to choose to show God's Love, Joy, Peace, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control to those we encounter along life's way in all we do and all we say. Our choices do make a difference in our life as well as in the lives of others around us. So as you go through today, I ask you to join me and let's choose to be mindful of one another and choose to be positive role models that lead others to Jesus Christ. Let's choose to Love others because He Chose to Love us and sacrifice His life for us so we could life free from all sin and shame. Let's Choose to be examples of His Great Love in word and deed, and bless others as He has blessed us. Have a wonderfully blessed and safe weekend, dear friend. God loves you and so do I~~~

Getting To Know Him And His Power Thereof

John 14:26 "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you". 
Jesus knew there would be times when we would need a true friend, a divine counselor, a shoulder to lean on, and someone to help us understand what to do next to get through the devastation that life throws at us so He sent us Holy Spirit to dwell within us so we would never be left to walk alone!
With Holy Spirit dwelling within us, working within us, walking alongside with us, guiding us, and instilling a comfort and peace as only He does best, we have the promise that we can make it through those tough times we face. He will never leave us to walk alone. We just have to acknowledge Him, talk with Him, and listen as He directs our paths. 
The wisdom of Solomon in Proverbs 3:5-6 teaches us to, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths;" and today these words are still sound advice. Getting to know Holy Spirit and allowing Him to be part of our every day lives is crucial for our victorious outcomes throughout this world. I pray you come to know Holy Spirit personally and allow him to fill you with His wisdom, His peace, and His comfort, so you can find rest unto your soul and come out victorious over every battle. He is waiting for you to acknowledge Him during the big as well as the little encounters you face every day so He can bring you the best life possible. 
He wants us to enjoy an abundant life in Him, filled with His mercy and grace with blessings beyond measure. As Children of the Most High God, Redeemed by Christ Jesus, Holy Spirit desires to work within us every thing that is needed to give us that abundant life with joy beyond measure! Getting to know Him and His power thereof, empowers us to become more than conquerors in all our ways.
So I pray as you come to know Him better and include Him in your daily life, that your witness is portrayed before others in such a way that they will want the same, and come to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord as well. 
Remember that very often we are the only Bible some people read so the manner we treat them and others is witness to God's Love. Jesus knew this so He taught His followers to love others regardless of situations as noted in John 13:35. "By this shall all men know you are my disciples, By the Love you have one to another." Getting to know Him and His power thereof instills His Divine Love deep within that allows us to love others even tho they seem to be unlovable; just as He loved us back when.....
Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~

Trusting His Love To Guide Us

Went walking early this morning then sat on my patio for a while, just feeling grateful to be in His presence and feel Him beside me, working within me, all that is needed for this moment in time. Nice to know He is pleased with me just being me. No pretense; just who I am and all that I am, I give to Him. Every breath I take, every movement I make, every thought I process is in His hands and I choose to leave them there! It's my choice to surrender my all to Him and I am so proud to make such a wise choice after all the foolish things I have done in my earlier life. It's surreal to leave my life in the hands of the Master!
I have come to know that whatever I face today and in the future, He desires to handle because He has me in the palm of His hands and I choose to stay there! Oftentimes waiting upon His answer makes me restless, but then I hear His still small voice reassuring me that He is with me and He's got this; and I know He does! It's wonderful to know God never leaves me and is ever present to lead me in all my ways as my mind is stayed upon Him!
I find in life that waiting is very difficult for us as humans! We tend to want answers right away and as we pray we expect God to answer quickly when He already knows our need; but because He sees what is out there before us, He may withhold the answer due to needing to prepare the end results (whether it be circumstance, timing, or the need to prepare the other person's heart); and God seeing the whole picture will not answer until every thing is Best for me; all in His time, His way, and in His perfect Will.
Psalm 27:14 states, "Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." David encourages us to let our hearts be fixed, trusting in God until our mind is stayed on the Lord as we submit our whole heart, with clean hands and a pure heart before the Lord! David learned this lesson and became so submissive that God called David, "A man after God's Own Heart"; and this title still accompanies David today!
So whatever you may be waiting upon to be answered today, learn from David and also the Word in Isaiah 40:31, "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint."
Years of learning from trial and error and humbly kneeling in God's grace has brought me assurance that He will never lead me where His grace cannot keep me! Whatever I need, He supplies; wherever I go, He leads; and whatever He tells me to do, He empowers and equips me to do! He never leaves nor forsakes me, because I am His and He is mine; forever and ever throughout eternity!
I pray you draw strength from His Word today and that you too, learn to wait upon His timing as you allow His Will to guide you in all you say and do! Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friend; God loves you and so do I~~~

Learning Kindness

We are encouraged in Colossians 3:12-17 NIV "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace, And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
Paul teaches us to be mindful of our new life in Christ Jesus because people can be quick to judge and throw wounding words; so he teaches us to quickly forgive; otherwise we might say or do something that would cause our testimony of deliverance to be of none effect. As God has forgiven us, we must forgive others so our prayers and Christian walk are not hindered.
So today let's be kind one to one another; tenderhearted forgiving one another, even as God for Christ sake has forgiven us (Ephesians 4:32). Let's shine forth the fruit of His Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) as we display His Love in all we do and say! Let's be a reflection of our Lord Jesus as we follow in His footsteps today!
Enjoy this glorious day God has given and be blessed, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~

Finding Boldness in Christ Jesus!

Jesus said in Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." As He ministered to the great multitudes of people and saw their many needs, he told his followers in Mt 28:19-20, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you, and surely I am with you always, even to the end of the world."
As followers of Jesus Christ, let's be about our Father's business today; sharing His Word, His Hope, and His Loving Grace to all we meet. His saving grace continues today; His healing virtue still flows to all who believe! Our God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34) and what He did in the past for one person, He will do the same for you and me. But we must believe so we can receive; and before we can believe, we must be able to hear the Word. So there must be workers in the fields sharing the Word for people to hear, to believe, and to receive! 
God is the Source of all knowledge, all wisdom, and all power needed for us to act on His Word. Jesus tells His followers in Acts 1:8, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Think about this wonder-working power Jesus instructed His disciples to wait on. Why? Because Holy Spirit is the power that strengthens us, that empowers us, that works within us; invigorating our senses, sharpening our skills, and empowering us with boldness to proclaim the Gospel unto the uttermost parts of the earth!
Holy Spirit empowered Paul to boldly declare in Philippians 4:13, "I can do ALL things through Christ which strengthens me!" And likewise, with our minds stayed on Jesus having Holy Spirit within, we too can proclaim "Nothing Is Impossible" in Jesus' name! The world is waiting to see and to hear Jesus' followers declare His divine love while sharing the Hope they have found so they too can be delivered and set free from all bondage! How 'bout it? You ready to go share Jesus with the world today? 
Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friend. God loves you and so do I~~~

Realizing Just Whose We Are

Ever wonder what this world would be like if we could all see ourselves as God sees us? "His children" God's child, Happy and Free; enjoying all the fullness of life He predestined! As children of God, we should feel a warm sense of security; knowing there is nothing our Daddy God(Abba) will not do to assure we have ALL we need to enjoy an abundant life.
The Word declares that we were chosen in God before the creation of the world to be His children; to be His sons and daughters by adoption through Christ Jesus; into the very Family of God (Ephesians 1:4-5). He made us unique for a specific reason; instilling certain traits and qualities deep within that enable us to accomplish His perfect plan for our lives. As we grow and mature in spiritual knowledge and wisdom, the Holy Spirit ignites those traits causing a certain 'fire shut up in our bones' to come alive!
God is doing new things within each of us continually and His glorious power is being revealed more now, than ever before. Now is the time to wake up and see ourselves through His eyes as Child of the Most High God! Victorious over all things the enemy dares to throw our way because we are armed with God's Strength and in the Power of His Might!
Dear friend, God sees you strong and whole! He sees you blessed and prosperous! He sees you courageous and confident! He sees you fully capable to do all things through Him! He sees you Free from all bondage! He sees you Complete in Him! So why are you not enjoying this beautiful life He designed just for you? Probably because you haven't realized just who you are in Christ Jesus! 
As you Search the scriptures and begin to develop your father/child relationship, you will come to realize just whose you are in Christ Jesus. You will even become bold enough to see your self through His eyes; and recognize His unconditional Love for you, His child, as you feel Him Smile upon your face. As His child, He longs to guide you into all truth as He walks alongside you, working whatever is needed within you to accomplish all things for your good!
I pray you will come to know Him and His power thereof; and I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day, because God Loves You and so do I~

CASTING ALL OUR CARES

As I walked around our complex enjoying the smell of honeysuckles filling the air; the birds were chirping and breeze was blowing; and I felt so pleased with the beauty surrounding my life; and I could just feel The Father smiling down upon me as the Son warmed my heart. He seeks to make us happy; to give us His very BEST; not just the mediocre things in life. 
My heart was overwhelmed as I could feel His Love and know He cares about even the smallest things that concern my life. Even tho I know God has our future covered, there are times when my needs weigh heavy upon my heart so it's wonderful to feel His Loving Arms surround me and whisper reassuringly, "Everything's going to be okay, I've got this!"
Jesus tells us in Mt 11:28-30 (NKJV), "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy ladened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." What an amazing Lord we have Who wants to carry all our burdens so we can enjoy life. What a Caring Lord Who Loves Beyond Measure and I am eternally grateful to know Him and feel His Spirit deep within; guiding me, encouraging me, providing my needs, and protecting me along my way! He cares about EVERY thing in our life, big and small; He carries them all; if only we ask Him to.
Jesus told us in Matthew 7:7(NKJV),"Ask and it will be given to you; Seek and you will find; Knock and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened." I think the key to living an abundant life is casting all our cares upon Him and allowing Him to guide us and to handle whatever falls our way! I know that as I seek His face and follow His direction; my life goes so much better and all things that pertain to life eternal in Christ Jesus will be opened unto me.
So dear friend, don't hesitate to cast all your cares upon Him today, because He really does care about you and me. I pray that if you have a need or some thing that is bothering your mind, keeping you from have total peace; that you will just cast those cares upon Him and follow your heart where He abides, because I know He has your answer. Enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~

Blessings On This Day

Thinking on all the blessings we receive from God and today He has already begun to provide us with a wide assortment of blessings from the gift of 'this day' and it being filled with fresh mercies; to granting us the ability to breathe, and to move, and to have our being. The blessing of enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee and when ready I will prepare my breakfast with food He has blessed me with, a shower with fresh clean water(yet another blessing) and clothes to adorn with shoes on my feet. All are blessings we so easily take for granted.
How often, we take our blessings from God for granted. We take life for granted, not realizing that at any moment life could changed or even taken away leaving only memories behind for those who remain. God shows His Unconditional Love with so many blessings to us we cannot name them all! Blessings of protection, of provision, of family, of friends; blessings of health, of His forgiveness, of His watchfulness; and the list goes on and on and on.
My question is, "When do we stop and count our blessings?" When do we give God the love and praise He deserves for all He has done and continues to do in life for our good? When do we realize Who God really is and when do we give Him our complete heart, holding nothing back from Him? This is something each of us have to determine within our self as we count our blessings..
As you go through 'this day' He has given, notice the many ways you see God blessing you with, and tonight as you relax in your nice cozy bed, remember the roof over you head, and the climate controlled atmosphere; take a moment to look back and count the ways God has blessed your life throughout 'this day'; and I know if you really paid attention, it will surely surprise you at all the blessings God has given and all the ways He has sheltered you throughout 'this day'. And that is just for 'This Day.' Then as you begin to give Him thanks, you will feel yet another blessing sweep over your body; a feeling of His wonderful peace that passes all understanding that allows you to begin to relax in Him; yet another blessing....
So today as you've given Him praise for 'this day'; and you're beginning to remember those past blessings, go ahead and enjoy knowing that, as His child He cares for you much more than you can ever imagine! Just another blessing!
So enjoy this day He has blessed you with, knowing that God has you already covered in the palm of His hands(just another blessing). God loves you and so do I~~

Loving As Christ Loved

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels but have not Love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains but have not Love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned but have not Love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; Love does not envy; Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 
But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, Love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love!"(1 Corinthians 13).
In essence Paul is reminding us of Jesus characterizing true followers as noted in John 13:34-35, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this, all will know that you are My disciples; if you have Love for one another." You see it doesn't matter what we say, or what we do, unless it is seasoned with Love; none of it matters, because God is Love! And in Him there is no darkness; no evil works, no evil thoughts, no high-mindedness, no unforgiveness! As we walk in God's Love and Amazing Grace, we are kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ' sake has forgiven us! 
Because He forgave us, we must forgive also! Because He Loves unconditionally, we must reach out in Love as well. We are no more children, tossed to and fro, so we must put away all those childish attitudes and behaviors and walk in His Love! We must put on the mind of Christ as we trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not unto our own understanding; but in all our ways we acknowledge Him and He will direct our path!(Proverbs 3:5,6). 
I pray as you go through the day, you will feel His Love overshadow you, feel His peace envelope you, and feel the joy of His presence within you! Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friend. God Loves You and so do I~~~

Finding Peace Through Songs Of Praise

"Sing the Wondrous Love of Jesus, Sing His mercy and His Grace; In the mansions bright and blessed, He'll prepare for us a place. While we walk the pilgrim pathway, Clouds will overspread the sky; but when traveling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh. When we all get to Heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We'll sing and shout the victory! Onward to the prize before us, Soon His beauty we'll behold; Soon the pearly gates will open, we shall tread the streets of gold! When we all get to Heaven, What a Day of Rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus! We'll sing and shout the Victory!"
What a day of rejoicing that will be when the cares of this life are over; no more sorrows, no more struggling; but Victory is ours! Praise The Lord! We will see Jesus! and forever and evermore we will rejoice in His presence! Walking those streets of gold, singing with Heavenly voices praises to the Lamb of God, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Jesus! What a wonderful Lord! Today is the day of Salvation! Today a new day is given! Today is a day to be lived in His fullness; not to re-hash the past, not to worry about tomorrow; but today is a new day full of new mercies and grace given, to bring glory and praise to our precious Lord Jesus who lives forevermore!
He is our God! Our Lord who created all Heaven and Earth! God, who moves all time and space! God, who loves you and me above all! God, who eagerly awaits our response to Him so He can walk and talk with us along life's pathway! He is God and above Him there is none else! He is the wind beneath my wings; the strength in my weakness! He restores my soul and empowers me with grace from on High! He comforts and guides me; leading me along the path of righteousness for His name' sake! There is no place I will go that He is not there with me! He is my Protector, my Deliverer, my All in All! His Spirit breathes life and peace into my very soul like nothing the world could ever compare!
"This is the Air I breathe; This is the Air I breathe! Your Holy Presence Living in Me! This is my Daily Bread; This is my Daily Bread! Your very Word Spoken to me! And I, I'm desperate for You; And I, I'm lost without You! This is the Air I breathe; This is the Air I breathe! Your Holy Presence Living in me; This is my Daily Bread; This is my Daily Bread! Your very Word Spoken to me! And I, I'm desperate for you; And I, I'm lost without you!This is the air I breathe, This is the air I breathe; Your Holy Presence living in me!!" Beautiful lyrics my Michael Smith; transfixes me into God's Loving embrace!
As you allow your mind to meditate on God's Unconditional Love and Unending Mercy; may you find peace and comfort flooding your mind as Holy Spirit stirs up your Spirit and you begin to hear songs of praise bubble up within your soul today! God is forever walking with us and oh how He longs to talk with us along life's pathway! Reach out and take His hand today and together you can walk that pilgrim pathway, Hand in Hand with Jesus!
Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friend. God loves you and so do I~~~

Learning To Trust The Father's Plan

"When you're up against a wall and your mountain seems so tall, and you realize life's not always fair; you can run away and hide, let the old man decide, or you can change your circumstances with a prayer; When everything falls apart, praise His Name; when you have a broken heart, just raise your hands and say, "Lord, You're all I need, You're everything to me," and He'll take the pain away; When it seems you're all alone, Praise His Name, When you feel you can't go on, Just raise your hands and say, "Greater is He that is within me," You can praise the hurt away If you'll just praise His Name! Oh, you can overcome by the blood of the lamb, by the words of your testimony; you'll see the darkness go as your faith begins to grow; you're not alone, so how can you be lonely; When everything falls apart, praise His Name; when you have a broken heart, just raise your hands and say, "Lord, you're all I need, You're everything to me," and He'll take the pain away. When it seems you're all alone, Praise His Name, When you feel you can't go on, just raise your hands and say, "Greater is He that is within me", You can praise the hurt away If you'll just praise His Name!"
Truth is that "The Father has a plan, though it's hard to see it now; You feel you're walking all alone but He is there no doubt; when the storm around you rages, and you're tossed to and fro; when you're faced with life's decisions, not sure which way to go; Stand still, and let God move; standing still is hard to do; when you feel you have reached the end, He'll make a way for you, stand still and let God move, stand still and let God move. When the enemy surrounds you and the walls are closing in, when the tide is swiftly rising, and you wonder where He's been; Friend, there never was a moment that His arms weren't reaching out, you can rest assured and be secure, God is moving right now; Stand still and let God move, Standing still is hard to do, When you feel you have reached the end, He'll make a way for you; Stand still and let God move; just stand still and let God move! The answer will come, but only in His time, Stand still and let God move; Stand Still and let God move."
Time and time again, I have proven God to be Forever Faithful! No matter the need or circumstance, as I surrender my will to His, I can always see Him move; and I have come to know that whatever the need, I know of a surety that He has my best interest on His heart because He has me engraved in the palm of His hands!
Dear friend, When you go through deep waters, and the waves come crashing in, know that God is forever faithful and He will be with you. All you have to do is trust wholeheartedly in Him as you stand still and let Him move and you too will come out victoriously. Have a wonderfully blessed day knowing that God loves you and so do I~~~
