EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING

I cannot fathom all the love the LORD has to give us....HE is the Creator of all things and HE is Allmighty GOD. HE knows our thoughts and our selfish hearts and yet HE still decides to lavish HIS love and mercy on us. There is no way I can pay HIM back..HE doesn't need me...HE just loves me..and you! Sometimes I think we can get caught up in what we can do for GOD ...maybe we need to take a step back and open HIS WORD and meditate on it...pray it ....think on WHO HE is...........I love worship and one of my favorites lately is Everlasting GOD. It makes me see how small I am and my circumstances are....compared to eternity with CHRIST. HE is from everlasting to everlasting and HE loves us and HE will not grow weary......my prayer is that I would keep my focus on JESUS through any and all difficulty and that HE would receive all the glory HE deserves! HE is GOOD! Which means HE is Pure and HE is Holy and HE loves us with a "EVERLASTING" love! I pray that you would be blessed by HIS love today! Rely on HIS strength and HIS power! GOD BLESS YOU!

WITHOUT YOU

Without YOU LORD JESUS where would I be? YOU have not forsaken me even when I don't deserve YOUR love....who else loves me with that kind of unfailing love? There are those who remain your friends throughout turmoil and difficulty....somehow they are the ones you least expect! What a surprise! GOD in HIS mercy and grace does reveal your true friends in hardship...it can be painful yet it is also is a needful thing. In the end it is good to see how GOD does not forsake you! Those who would be your true friends will love you and encourage you without patronizing or judgemental attitudes. True friends love you with all your imperfections...they do not play the "I Know Better" game! GOD alone is our Judge...and none of us are qualified to throw stones. What a blessing TRUE friends are! Thank YOU LORD!

UNFAILING LOVE

Oh, how often do we find disappointment and heartache in this world? Friends hurt us unknowingly...some knowingly. Maybe they are going through disappointment and hurt themselves? This life is filled with pain and yet when we turn to JESUS we have all the sweetness we need! We can dive right into HIS arms and find refreshment in HIS stength and love. HIS is a love of truth and honesty. HIS is a love of hope and peace. HIS is a love of faithfulness. What saddens me is when we hurt each other, either by accident or on purpose for any and all kinds of reasons! I am thankful for the unfailing love of JESUS CHRIST. HE who will never leave us or forsake us. HE who knows of the plans HE has for us and it is not to harm us ,but for a good purpose. Let us look straight into a face of love and let HIM wash away our hurts so we can love others. When we show CHRIST to others they experience healing to their hurting hearts and souls. I am thankful to a SAVIOR who allows me to come to HIM again and again for the healing I need. Let us look into a face of pure unfailing love and bask in HIM , the ONE who loves us so much! Then let us share HIM with others!

BLESSINGS FROM HIS WORD

I was thinking this morning about how much the LORD JESUS loves us.....even when we are not faithful to spend time with HIM in HIS WORD or come to HIM in thankful ,worshipful prayer. I have to admit I get distracted by daily responsibilities too. However, I am asking JESUS to help me make HIM a priority in my life. GOD provided daily manna for the Israelites in the desert. GOD has provided me with HIS WORD, HIS MANNA, to read daily. I am committed to follow JESUS daily. What a blessing to have GOD'S WORD available to us. When I feast on HIS MANNA,first thing in the morning, daily, I know I will find nourishment, refreshment and strength for the day! What a glorious GOD we serve! HE provides for us daily.... exactly what we need! May you be blessed every morning as you open the WORD of GOD and find HIS love and faithfulness there!

PREPARE YOUR HEART

This morning I prepared my heart for the day...I began it in GOD'S WORD. I read that if I belong to CHRIST ,HE dwells in me by HIS Holy Spirit. So again I have to prepare my heart and mind each day for the LORD. How can I know which way to go? How will I know which path to take if my eyes are not fixed on HIM? In JOHN 1:1 it says , "In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with GOD and the WORD was GOD." Sooooo I say to continually know GOD we must seek HIM in HIS WORD. How does your day go when you do not seek HIM in HIS WORD? I can honestly say I need HIS WORD to encourage, comfort and sustain me! HIS WORD gives me the courage to live a life of victory in CHRIST JESUS! So in the beginning of your day, begin with the WORD! HIS WORD! If we are the dwelling place for the Holy Spirit, what better way but to feast on the WORD of GOD and fill our minds and hearts with HIS truth. Let us nourish our hearts with the faithfulness of GOD ! HE has given us a glimpse of HIS heart in HIS WORD......HE loves us and will not forsake us and HE is faithful to finish the work HE began in us! What an amazing GOD we serve!

HE IS FAITHFUL !

Just wonderin'....if you are as thankful as I am for the sunrise today? For that matter. what about those flowers...the birds songs....that smile...the breeze....family...friends....children.....hugs....chocolate! You know there is going to be chocolate in heaven! There has to be!
what about each breath we take....every step we are able to take....our sight...all that we hear? GOD is in every part of our life. HE is in control of all things. All HE asks is that we would trust and obey. Trust is the first step.......it is easier to obey when we trust. Do you trust that there will be a sunrise tomorrow? What a beautiful gift from GOD to be thankful for! HIS faithfulness!
