You are More Than That

For many, this year began with hurts and pains from the past. Many are suffering physical issues. Too often, the bitterness and unforgiveness resulting from the hurt and pain can manifest in your physical.  The suffering in your physical can open the door for despair, regret, doubt, mistrust, you name it. And when you give up, the enemy has already staked a place. When you are down you need the company of community. You need Jesus. You need to hear what Holy Spirit is saying to you. You need to know that God loves you and because of Jesus' work on the cross you can stand, you are forgiven, you can live!

 

Take time today to marvel at what Jesus' work on the cross did for you. Spend some time with that and get ready for this day. You are more than a conqueror! type to you later.

Move On

Well we had a little snow. I love it how snow covers everything and it beautiful. It reminds me of God's love- God's love covers a multitude of sins. Rejoice in that fact, confess and receive God's forgiveness and move on. type to you later.

Can You Do It?

Can you let it go? Can you release past hurts?  Can you?   You see, in letting it go, whatever it is, you are freed to receive what God has for you.  If your arms are full of the past mess, your hands gripping tight to old junk, then you cannot receive what is yours.  So begin by loosening the grip of the junk in your hands, that unforgiveness, you know what happened, what she did, what he did.

Why should you release the junk?  Glad you asked. Because you are only hurting yourself.  Unforgiveness will slowly kill you, in so many ways. The person, place, or thing that wronged you has moved on. You are the only one stuck and eventually it will wear you out.  So release.  Allow Holy Spirit walk with you through the process. Begin by turning your gripped hands upward and opening your fingers slightly, and when you can open your hands, thank God for the release. 

When you can open your hands the junk can fliff away. With open hands turned upward your are ready to receive, ready to move on.  For each step in the release thank God for the new moment.  Move as Holy Spirit guides.  I bless you with peace and courage as you release. You can do it.  type to you later.

Dance On

Life has a way a presenting challenges.  Hey, that's life.  That is what it does.  But this is your life.  This is your journey, your dance.  So since you know that life will present challenges you come prepared.  How can yo do that?  Oh, it is easier than you can imagine. You follow through by following the Paraclete, Holy Spirit. Yeah, that is how you overcome the challenges of life.  That is how you can get through the day, the hour, the minute. 

Be clear that the challenges will present themselves yet, you can overcome.  You can make it over, under, around, through any challenge.  And even if you find yourself right there in it just know that you are not alone.  Follow Holy Spirit's lead. 

Do you need a history recap?  Read Daniel 3.  You are never alone, dance on.  type to you later.

This is It

We are already close to the middle of the first month of the new year. That is a lot to think about, right? I mean especially when you think about what you have already 'not done', 'left undone', 'forgot', 'missed.' So let's try this- today is your day to celebrate in all that you do today. Today belongs to you.  It is your new day to do it, get it right, to celebrate.  This is the day that the Lord has made-rejoice, rejoice, and be glad in this day. Love your life, love your family, celebrate God's love for you. type to you later.

Hope

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares The Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" (Jer. 29:11-13 NIV).

What else can I say? Hope. type to you later.

And Again

Here it is again. One more time. One more chance. There He goes again.
Here it is again- one more day of witnessing God's glory. One more time to get it right. One more chance to experience God's mercies. Yes He is God of more chances yet we experience them as another and another, one after another. There He goes again- working His plan for our lives and including us in the plan. And God does it again and again for us. Don't miss this day. Don't miss what God has for you. That is healing right there.
Watch this day what God is doing! type to you later.
