GOD’S HANDS:

SOMETIMES……

WE must be hurt in order to grow;

We must fail in order to know;

We must lose in order to gain.

Some lessons are learned best

Only through pain.

SOMETIMES………..

Our vision clears

Only after our eyes are

Washed with tears.

SOMETIMES……….

We have to be broken,

So we can be tender,

Sick so we can rest and think better;

On things more important

Than work or fun;

Trip near death,

So we can assess how we’ve run.

SOMETIMES…………..

We have to suffer lack,

So we can know God’s provision,

Feel another’s pain,

So we can have a sense of mission.

So take heart, my friend,

If you don’t understand today,

Instead of grumbling,

Ask God what He means to say,

In order to learn you must endure,

And learn to see  the bigger picture.

In order to grow, you must stand;

Look beyond the hurt

To God’s loving hand

That takes what is good,

And gives what is best,

And on this blessed thought, rest:

As your anxious heart,

With questions, waits,

God’s hand only gives

What His loving heart dictates.

Sometimes the Lord calms the storm;

Sometimes He lets the storm rage……..

And calms His child.

Better  the storm with Christ………

Than smooth waters without Him.

HAVE A BLESSED WEEK..~~CYN~~

FRIENDSHIP IS A BLESSING:

Friendship is a blessing

It’s the best you have to share,

The talents and the wisdom,

The capacity to care……

It’s being there to lend support,

Whatever needs arise,

It’s making sure that others know

They’re special in your eyes…………

Friendship is a blessing,

And, to all who have a friend,

It’s one of the most precious gifts

That life could ever send!

Have A Beautiful Week!!~~CYN~~

Take the Limits Off

VERSE:“He raised us up together with Him…that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable, limitless, surpassing riches of His free grace, His unmerited favor…” (Ephesians 2:6-7AMP).

THOUGHTS: We serve a God of unlimited grace, favor and blessing. He longs to show you His goodness and pour out His abundance in your life. When God sees you, He sees unlimited possibility. He sees unlimited potential. He sees unlimited resources. God’s grace and favor in your life enables you to become what He sees, but you have to first open your heart and take the limits off. We limit God in our thinking. Thoughts of doubt, unbelief and unforgiveness in your heart will close the door to His favor. In Mark chapter 6, it says that Jesus could do no mighty works in a particular town because of the unbelief of the people. It works the same way today. But when you choose thoughts of faith and expectancy, you are opening the door for God to work in your life. You are taking the limits off. You are giving Him the opportunity to multiply what you have in your hand. Choose to take the limits off by choosing His thoughts of victory. Choose thoughts of increase and blessing. As you do, you’ll rise higher and higher and live the abundant life He has prepared for you.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I choose Your unlimited grace and favor today. I choose to believe that You have good things in store for me. I give You everything that I am and ask that You use me for Your glory. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

HAVE A FABULOUS WEEKEND

TODAY S THOUGTHS COME VIA RJ, A MAN ON THE MOVE AND DEFINETLY HANDELING HIS FATHER S BUSINESS...

VERSE: Do you believe I am able to do this? Matthew 9:28


THOUGHTS: These words gave me hope this morning. Life has many painful trials. Our Lord is faithful! He continued to give me strength through His Word and through the prayers of my closest friends. I want to encourage you to reach out and receive the promises of God. That is sometimes the only thing we can hold onto. He has promised to be with us, to guide us, to direct us, to hear us, to love us. What more could we need?


Our faith will be tried and tested many times before we join Jesus for eternity. We need to be prepared for those times. I thank God for allowing me to live, breath and hold on to the mighty power of His Word. Even this morning, I believe the scripture above which was on my calendar at work was specifically to remind me I need to believe and trust in Him. I do my friends, I do. Do you? God bless.

He’s Working on Your Behalf
 

VERSE: “We know that God will work all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).
 

THOUGHTS: God is working behind the scenes in your life, today. No matter what you may be facing, no matter what trial your may be going through, God has a plan to turn things around in your favor. Right now, He is working out a plan for your good. Right now, He is orchestrating the right people to come across your path. He is orchestrating the right opportunities to open up to you. You may not see it in the natural, but look with your eyes of faith today. Keep standing. Keep believing. Keep hoping. Keep following His Word. Focus on His goodness in your life, knowing that He rewards the people who seek after Him. As you meditate on the faithfulness of God and show your love for Him by following His Word, you will see His plan come to pass. You’ll experience His peace and joy, and you will live in victory all the days of your life!
 

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. I trust that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. Give me Your strength and peace today, and fill me with Your faith to overcome. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
