Keep standing

It's at times when I'm sick, or a family member is, that I remember "after doing all I can do, stand (in faith, believing)". Whatever you may be going through, it's not that we deny the circumstances, rather we trust and believe that no matter what may happen God is in control, God loves you, your family and friends, and if we are His children, than as Romans says, all things will work for good, for those that believe...hold on, stay strong, God is good.

Like you could, like you should

Quick question: Could it be that we are not living like we could because we are not living like we should?

Let me quickly explain, I am not talking about "works" resulting in blessing, but rather "drawing closer to God and letting Him produce the fruit of His spirit in us, forus and others...could we spend more time "sitting at His feet"? 

Remember this is not me condemning you or myself, I believe it is God calling us back to Him, to His throne of grace...

Forgive yourself

Do you want to know a hard truth? "To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you". This includes those in your past, present, even those who may hurt you in the future...this also includes YOURSELF! Allow God to forgive you, forgive through you, and love you and others unconditionally. There is of course more to this, but it does begin with forgiveness, start there...I hope and pray this encourages you to grow closer to God...and then healing can begin and continue.

Anxiety

Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. So remember Gods goodness, and don't be troubled.

Truth=right

The truth is always right. Think about that for a moment...if the truth is that God has given you His peace, then it is right for us to accept it, believe that His word is truth, and then act accordingly. I'm not saying that what's right is easy, but that the truth, once you accept it as truth, makes the "right" things easier. I hope and pray that that makes sense. I hope that you know His truth, the truth about Him, from Him, for you is right...His peace He has given you.

Need to forgive

I Needed to be forgiven, so He forgives and restores. They need to know that they are forgiven, help them see that He forgives and restores.

Perfect peace

Gods peace is perfect...a simple truth that once we lay a hold of our lives in Him become a reflection of His goodness.
