COURAGE

If you’re having
a hard time
finding courage
in any given situation,
remember Jesus
is your strength.
Allow Him
to help you
stand tall
and courageously
in the face of
trials,
pain or grief.
His love
makes us
more than
B R A V E!

In His Love,

WATER’S EDGE

Photo by Jason Yoder on Unsplash

At water’s edge:
We find time to think;
it is the fountain of all reflection.


At water’s edge:
We find time to read God’s Word;
for it is the foundation of wisdom.


At water’s edge:
We find time to play;
it is the secret to staying youthful.


At water’s edge:
We find time to be quiet;
it is the opportunity to sit in God’s presence.


At water’s edge:
We find time to be aware;
It is a moment to appreciate His goodness.


At water’s edge:
We find time to help others;
it is a chance to be a good steward.


At water’s edge:
We find time to love and be loved;
it is God’s greatest offering.


At water’s edge:
We find time for laughter;
it is the sound of joy to the soul.


At water’s edge:
We find time to be kind;
It is life’s warmest gesture.


At water’s edge:
We find time to dream;
it is to seek to achieve our deepest desires.


At water’s edge:
We find time to hope;
It is the sovereignty of God to drive out fear.


At water’s edge:
We find time to pray;
it is the most immense power on earth.


At water’s edge:
We find time for joy;
it is the joy found in the Lord that gives strength.


At water’s edge :
We find time for forgiveness;
it is unfailing love & compassion; the mercy of God.


At water’s edge;
We find time for Grace;
it is the boundless favor of God; extended to others.


At water’s edge:
We find time to live for God;
It is through faith in Christ and the finished work at Calvary.


At water’s edge:
We find salvation through Jesus Christ;
He is the greatest gift; given to us by God.

… And someday, when we sit above on high; in the heavenly realm, saved and redeemed from sin and death, we will look back and ponder in remembrance of the things that we were taught as we sat faithfully still in the Father’s warm embrace; learning and growing in Him by the water’s edge.

AN EXPRESSION OF HIS LOVE

Image by Tünde from Pixabay

To see beauty
in its purest, truest
simplest form
is how God sees you.

You are an expression of His love.
.
.
.
Biblical truth tells us that all angels are male and nor do angels have wings as we have been led to believe.

Although, there are no female angels; only male angels in heaven, this was written to show how that God Sees the Heart.

“The Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 
- 1 Samuel 16:7

I love how the wings in this picture are a representation of the child of God and an expression of His love.

This is the reflection I was trying to convey.

Blessed with Grace and Joy

Photo by LucasVphotos on Unsplash

His Grace is like the wind,
Breath and life ascend.

Flowing freely on a gentle breeze
Releasing the debt of sin.

Eyes that can now fully see.
Forgiveness granted to
All those who Believe.

Rising through the air
Far and reaching wide to declare,

That Jesus gives us His amazing grace,
Which brings comfort to embrace.

Our blessed hope,
Our strength,
Our Savior;
Declared Worthy
we have found favor.

In His sacrificial love thereof;
our spirits are warmed by thy promise
of heaven above.

Bringing to our hearts which He faithfully employs
Awakening us to an abundance of joy —
Here on earth and for all eternity forevermore.

Salvation provided to whosoever will.
A gift freely given; graciously awaiting
all those even still.

Jesus died to prove His love.
The debt of sin paid for in full
by His precious Blood.

For whenever we feel lost
We can look to — The Cross,

And be reminded that
nothing can ever replace or destroy
His atoning sacrifice,
which proclaims that our lives are
Blessed with Grace and Joy.

JOY COMES IN THE MORNING

Photo by Jackson David on Unsplash

Remember that pain and sorrow

doesn’t last forever;

Joy does come in the morning.

You may not feel it today,

Maybe not even tomorrow,

But, eventually you will

breathe in the calmness of the cool air,

Feel the warming embrace

of the sun’s rays upon your face,

And dance once again

beneath the brightest bluest skies.

Look up beautiful one…

Peace is just over the horizon.

HE HEARS

Photo by Ales Maze on Unsplash

Even on those days when
I’m too exhausted to speak,
He hears me.
.
.
Today I am thankful for an Almighty God who carries me through every storm, every trial, every situation or circumstance, who hears my every prayer, and who provides for my every need.

Even on those days when I am too mentally and emotionally drained to express what’s in my heart and mind, He hears!

When I can’t find the words to write, He hears!

When the words just won’t come, He hears!

There’s nothing better in this world than God’s unconditional love and to know that even when I’m too worn and exhausted to speak, He hears!

I Am Here

Photo by Simon Wilkes on Unsplash

I am here
Waiting for you
In the darkness
When you feel lost
In the fog
Where
confusion clouds
When the struggle
Seems relentless
When the storms
Rage in thunderous shouts
Swaying to convince you
That all is without hope
The seams can’t be mended
And nothing you give rise to
Will produce a peace
That you so desperately
Long to grasp
This cup shall not pass
Hands are forever
Tied to despair
How long will this anguish linger
Unmercifully without cause?
He whispers
I am the Bread of Life
I am the Light of the World
I am the Door
I am the Good Shepherd
I am the Resurrection and the Life
I am the Way and the Truth and the Life
I am the Vine
I am Able
You need not fear
Trust in Me
I am the “Great I Am!”
I am here

Psalms‬ ‭126:5

Inspire BibleNew Living Translation

“Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.”

A Joyful Return to Zion

Psalms 126:1-6

The people are encouraged to preserve in the knowledge that God will again restore His people.

The historical setting of this psalm focuses around the return of the exiles from captivity in Babylon as permitted by the decree of King Cyrus of Persia in 538 B.C.

Joy accompanied this release from captivity.

TAKE UP YOUR CUP OF SALVATION

Photo by Sixteen Miles Out on Unsplash

Lift up your cup
of salvation unto the Lord
for He is good, faithful,
merciful and true.
He is who to look to;
the one who can restore You.

Believe on Him,
His Word — the sword
of the Spirit and Truth.
Our greatest weapon of merit
A Mighty Sword to inherit!

By the strength of the Lord
and the stripes He bore
and without delay
Victory was won,
on that fateful day.

On a hill called Calvary,
when Jesus took the nails.
Proving His love for You
would never fail.

Praise His Holy Name;
Warrior child of God
be thee compelled
And without fail —
to proclaim that
the enemy was
crushed and defeated —
he will not prevail.

Drink joyously from
thy cup and be filled
The Lord, God, Almighty;
has bruised Satan’s heal.

With just one drop —
His precious blood did suffice.
Our Savior; Jesus Christ —
brought salvation by
His atoning sacrifice.

His light illuminates;
shining brightly for all to see,
bringing deliverance
to all who believe.

Take up your cup
of salvation; tarry not;
now has come the hour
to embrace His Grace
and redemption power.

Hallelujah
to the Lamb!

Inspired by both :

Psalms‬ ‭116:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ &
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.” ‭‭
-Psalms‬ ‭116:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”
‭‭- Genesis‬ ‭3:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬
