Don't Hurry, Be Happy

 Dear friends, As you begin your day, I hope you take time to invite Holy Spirit to guide you along your way? I almost got in a hurry getting up this morning and forget to listen for His response to my "good morning Lord" as I proclaim when I awaken each morning; until I was reminded of my rush so then I settled back down and spent a little earnest time with my precious Lord.

So before you rush off on your daily routines, be sure your ears are open so you can hear Him because He is always with us, dwelling within us, talking with us, caring and protecting us even though we may not acknowledge His voice or His presence and is eager to talk with us each morning and throughout our day.

We often become so busy scampering along with our daily chores and rushing off to fulfill our work duties that we forget to take that much needed time each morning to just be still and know that He is God - to feel His love, to hear His voice, and to acknowledge that without Him life would be hopeless; but with Him leading our way we acquire the power through Him to conquer the most difficult of times.

I treasure my family and friends in my life but even those dearest to my heart cannot compare with the love of my precious Lord. Ya see, before I stumble He's already there to pick me up; before I fail at mankind's test He's right there encouraging me; before I shed those tears when my heart feels broken, He's right there to wipe them away and comfort me; and when I begin to feel alone and think no one could possibly understand what I'm going through, He's right there putting His loving arms around me and assuring me He never leaves me. Forever and ever He is there for me, without fail, through it all.

There is nothing we have ever done or will ever do, to cause Him to love us any less or to love us any more than He does right now. Ya see, He loves me and He loves you with an everlasting love that is totally unconditional. A love far beyond anything we could ever comprehend, but is forever binding, none the less.

So I pray that as you begin your day, you will take time to talk with Him and allow His love to engulf you and bring you peace and guidance throughout this day and every day hereafter. You will find He is positively the dearest friend you will ever have. Enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends, because God loves you and so do I~~~

ALL Because of God's Amazing Grace

 IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF GOD'S AMAZING GRACE!!! What an amazing, graceful and loving Father we have in our Lord Jesus!

All we will ever need and all we dare to be is all wrapped up in God's Amazing Grace! There will never be a need He does not see, a prayer He does not hear, a tear that falls without His attention, or a whispered cry for help He can not meet. God is forever faithful and forever near to those who trust in Him and call upon His Holy Name of Jesus!

Jesus opened the door to Heavenly blessings freely given from the Father's hands so you and I could enter into a realm of Peace far above anything we could ever imagine and far above all the precious elements this world will ever have to offer. His ways are surely not like ours, His timing is not according to ours, and because His Word is Forever True, whatsoever He says, He will do, in the time that is perfectly aligned to His perfect design for our life.

He wants ONLY the Best for you and me and although we may feel He isn't listening because our answer hasn't arrived; could be that those precious 'unanswered prayers' are not answered because God sees what's up ahead; not just what's going on right now; so He answers in ways that are for our good and often times those unanswered prayers are His arms wrapped securely around us protecting and preventing us from entering utter chaos and a battle too great for us to bear at that moment.

So today, trust His guidance and listen to His voice deep within your heart of hearts and allow Him to walk with you throughout this day He created just for you with the greatest of love for His little child. He loves you unconditionally and desires to guard and protect you along your way, every step of your way, if you only allow Him to. If you will trust Him and follow His leading, you will have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends; God loves you and so do I~~~

Peace To Calm The Soul

 "I need Thee every hour, Most Gracious Lord; No tender voice like Thine can Peace afford; I need Thee, Lord, I need Thee; Every hour I need Thee; Oh, bless me now, My Savior, I come to Thee!"

"There's within my heart a melody; Jesus whispers sweet and low; Fear not, I am with thee; Peace, be still, in all of life's ebb and flow. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! Sweetest name I know; fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go."

These precious old hyms continue to warm hearts of all who allow Holy Spirit to rise up within, reminding us that He is always with us, working to restore, to revive, and to renew us with His Peace that passes all understanding.

Many of us face struggles as we set out on our day; but the Peace of God sustains us. Peace like a river working within us to conquer those fiery darts satan will attempt to throw our way; But God..... God in all His Glory has already prepared us for this day and every day hereafter, as He walks beside us, working within us, leading us on, empowering us to overcome each struggle, one step at a time.

As we allow His Spirit to refresh our inner man early in the morning, we can rest assured that as we've acknowledged Him, He is sure to be with us through it all. We will come out victorious over every battle with Him leading our way!

"When Peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well, It is well with my soul."

No matter what comes our way; our minds rest in the Peace of God; and now we can enjoy a wonderfully blessed, victorious day....... knowing God loves you and so do I~~~

God Is Our Peace

 "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:4-9.

Paul teaches that God's peace is ours as we think on the good instead of bad. He states in Ephesian 3:16-19, "I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God"

I pray these glorious truths declared in God's Word fills your mind with peace for this season in life; and His peace brings Hope in the reality He desires for your life as noted in Jeremiah. 29:11, "I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

No matter what you may be going through, just keep your mind stayed on Jesus and His plan for your life,and you will over come it all. Be anxious for nothing, but "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you"(1 Peter 5:7). He loves you beyond measure and unconditionally, so blow out the negative and breathe in the positive energy of His Word and enjoy a wonderfully blessed life. God loves you and so do I~~~
