^“You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world”. – 1 John 4:5, Holy Bible 

How often do we feel that we are just not quite doing enough?  Or that the world is overwhelming, or even winning.

But God knew that those times would come and those feelings would occur.  That’s why He gave us this verse.  And we can count on it, as we can count on all of God’s Promises ?.  And no matter what the world makes us feel, the Holy Spirit which is in us-is “greater than the one in the world”. 

So no matter how we feel on any given day, remember it is who we follow every single day that makes us who we are!  And it’s all good ?

“I made you and I will care for you.  I will carry you along and save you. “

Isaiah 46:4 NIV

 

Wow, how Blessed are we?  That God would care for us that much ?

Father, please help them.

Please help those in trouble, and help those who go to help them.

And please Father, help all those who love them both.

In Jesus Name

Amen

 

 

“Dont grow weary in the doing of good”. We’ve all heard it, but sometimes we do grow weary. And as we look back, sometimes we can’t help but wonder if we did any good at all?

But you know, more often than not, we did more good than we realize. And God sees that, even if we don’t.

Ever at a loss for words to pray?  I know I am.  And sometimes during a  struggle, it’s even hard to know what to pray for!  Seems like it would be easy, but sometimes God knows better than we do what would be best.

 

It’s times like these that I am so grateful that we don’t need to have all of the answers!  We can just say “Jesus” and He will come our rescue 🙂

 

 

Love this song!  It’s a great one to start your day with 🙂

I saw this on Facebook Pinterest, and it was interpreted a little differently than I  had seen in the past, but was such a good thought I wanted to share it:

 

“Anyone can find the dirt in someone, be the one who finds the gold”  

 

What a great thought 🙂

 

 

“Father, you are good.  They need help.  I can’t, but You can.

I can’t heal them Father, but, You can.

I can’t forgive them Father, but, You can.

I can’t help them Father, but You can.

 

This prayer gets God’s attention.”

“God’s Grace is bigger than our guilt” is something I heard on the radio yesterday morning (90.5 FM Christian Radio).  What a reassuring thought!  Too often, all I focus on is the many ways I failed God.  To the point it can temporarily paralyze me, until I wake up and pray :).

But they are right, “God’s Grace is bigger than my guilt”, and I need to let God be God 🙂

 

We are what we eat!  The same is true for our faith.  We  can’t just feed our bodies, we need to feed our souls too.  So often in this world, we are surrounded by the dark.  The news is horrible.  TV and Movies are often dark as well.  But we can choose where we spend our time, listening to Christian music, going to church, volunteering our time, reading a good book, reading God’s Word, in prayer…all of these things will lift us up rather than cast us down.

It’s up to us, it’s our choice.  God gave it to us, but we need to use that choice wisely  🙂
