Thought For The Day

The greatest pain for the heart to take

is

the knowledge that you are not perfect

You fumble and fall

and

sometimes it is hard to realize

that

things are not always ideal

all of the time

Yet

just at the right moment

there is a caring arm to help you up

a warm feeling of peace

to calm your heart

and

the Lord is there

to tell you

to get up, try again

and he will always be your strength

He is proud of you

and loves you so much!

God bless you all!

     Have you ever been in a rainstorm?  It is very windy.  Your precious umbrella is doing its job, then a gust of wind.  The umbrella collapses.  Suddenly, you are exposed to the rainstorm.  Wouldn't you know it?  It begins to rain even more.

   Could this possibly describe some days upon your pathway?  It seems so difficult even to put your feet down.  You seem misguided and alone, burdened with searching for a foundation and shelter from stormy surroundings of a rapidly changing world.

   Your heart cries out for comfort and peace.  It feels broken, alone, and alienated.  But, just at that moment you see a slow down in the fury.  A little ray of sun begins to shine through.

   The Lord comes in, shelters you with his love and presence.  He then provides a bigger and more stronger umbrella that can never break or fail.  It is a guarantee you can always depend upon.

   So, now there is a warmth that is slowly repairing the hurt.  A smile is replacing the look of worry and fear.  Your footsteps begin to become more rugged and strong.

  You feel assured that you can continue onward in victory.  

  Take God's hand!  He is the greatest guide one can find.

Thought For The Day

Missteps are not stumbling blocks
they are not
the end of something wonderful

Instead
they are learning tools

They are platforms where we can
take a step back and say

LORD, I LOVE YOU
I NEED YOU MORE AND MORE

AND

THE LORD COMES IN

AND

BEGINS A BRAND NEW EXCITING CHAPTER

SOMETHING THAT

WE NEVER WOULD HAVE FORSEEN
IN OUR HUMANITY

SOMETHING EXCITING
SOMETHING UNBELIEVABLE

AND 

AT THAT PRECIOUS MOMENT

WE CAN THEN SAY

You know what?

It is okay not to be perfect
It is okay not to be ideal

because

The Lord loves me so much

and 

is working an even more

beautiful work in me!

Inspirations

     Have you ever taken a brief moment to reflect and actually see what is happening today?  Things are rapidly changing.  Unfortunately, it is not good change.  Family members don't talk to one another.  People have become more rude and uncaring.  Our society as we knew and loved it from our forefathers is spiraling downward.

   Can we see a pattern here?  Do you see people hold doors open any more?  Do you see them treat one another with kindness and care?  So, what can one do you ask?  We need to fight for the God centered nation that we once knew and loved.

  We need to pray for our nation and pray for God's protection and guidance in how we can make a difference.  Stand up for what you strongly believe.  Start by being faithful in showing the love of God in each moment of your daily life.

 Since when has it become politically incorrect to say 'God bless you' or 'Merry Christmas'.  Open the door for someone.  Help them with something.  Don't let any one silence your right to be the blessing God wants you to be.  

  Let's fight for our nation and get God back in the heart and center.  Pray Pray Pray!

Thought For The Day

When you give up.....
it is at that moment

that you step away from the
opportunities that God has for you

You cover and hide from the
greatest part of who you are
the person that God intended you to be

Don't lose the dream
because you can't see the sun in
the midst of the thick rain clouds

Place your hand in your Father's hand
and your foot on his
lean on his shoulder

He will be the strength to transport you
He will be the courage to uplift you
He will be the light in the midst of confusion

Give him your heart
Give him your love
Give him your confidence

AND

WATCH AMAZING THINGS HAPPEN

THINGS WILL GET CLEARER
AND BRIGHTER

AND

YOU WILL SEE AMAZING THINGS
YOU NEVER IMAGINED!

BE A JESUS ADVENTURER

TODAY!

GOD BLESS YOU!

LORD.........YOU SEE THE FRAGILE POINTS OF MY HEART SO TRUE
IT LOOKS LIKE FAILURES AND IMPERFECTIONS TO ME..
I WANT TO MAKE CHANGES IN ALL THAT I DO
BUT, THROUGH THE WINDOW OF YOUR EYES, YOU SEE BEAUTY.

SWEET POINTS OF PROMISE FOR THE POTTER'S HANDS TO MOLD..
WRITING BLUEPRINTS FOR SOMETHING WONDERFUL IN SIGHT...
WORKING FERVENTLY WITH A PERFECT LOVE UNTOLD
TO CREATE SOMETHING GREAT WITH AN ARTIST'S STRONG MIGHT.

SUDDENLY, I SEE A BRILLIANT LIGHT SHINING THROUGH
IN FAITH....THINGS BEGIN TO LOOK MUCH DIFFERENT TO ME ..
THROUGH THIS SPECIAL GIFT OF HOPE I RECEIVED FROM YOU
MY FAILURES ARE ARTISTRY TO LIFE'S VICTORIES....

Thought For The Day

Have you ever had those days

when

you feel like you are a failure

when 

your expectations have gone

you just want to bow your head

and cry

suddenly, a light glimmers

just beyond the door of your heart

you feel a warmth within you

and 

hear something within you

"My child I am proud of you"

All of a sudden,

there is a hope that shines

all discouragement is gone

and

you can see

the perfect definition


of 

accomplishment

success

friendship


ETERNALLY!

Bewilderment Of The Heart

     Have you ever had moments in your life when you felt like you were outside in the cold with no coat and someone locked the door?  It is easy to wonder sometimes whether you are alone and your prayers have gone unanswered.

    But, that is just a human response to seeing things.  There is one important issue to consider.  God's timing is perfect.  But, we don't know his timing.  This is where our innate faith comes into play.

    We know that God has never left us.  Why would he ever do that?  God never fails or forsakes.  He loves to work mighty and wonderful things.  But, we have to open our hearts and look to him.

    So, don't look at the things around you.  Concentrate on the Lord.  He will see you through the pathway with the success that he has just for you!

Thought For The Day

Have you ever been at the point
where

the storms of life seem 
to rage

and 

you stand feeling alone

without
an source of protection

without
 an shelter of hope

SUDDENLY.....

AN UMBRELLA APPEARS OVER YOU

THERE IS

A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT ALL AROUND

YET

THE STORMS ARE STILL RAGING

STRONGER THAN EVER

THE FEAR IS GONE

THE LONELINESS SEEMS TO HAVE VANISHED

A HAND REACHES OUT TO COMFORT YOU

YOU LOOK UP

AND IT IS THE BEAUTIFUL SMILE

OF YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER

HE SAYS:

"DO NOT FEAR MY CHILD"

"I AM HERE ALWAYS"

"I WILL COMFORT YOU, SHELTER YOU, AND BE ALL THAT YOU WILL EVER NEED!"

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Bringing Peace To A Restless Heart

     Sometimes, it is so hard and equally challenging to bring peace to a restless heart.  The factors in today's society cause stress and hurt that can be damaging and destructive.  We have to deal with the job market, economy, leaders, and the personalities of different people.

     But, here is the statement to consider.  It is not so much what we do, but, how we do it that matters.  Yes, the anxiety of an ever changing world can bring pain to life.  Yes, the cruelty and uncaring nature of other people can bring hurt.

     However, if we give our heart and life to the Lord, and trust in him, we are his beloved children.  We know that he will give us what we need to walk boldly through an ever changing world and come out happy and victorious.

     So, don't let the factors annoy you.  Don't let the crude people affect you.  Give all of your heavy burdens over to God.  He will give you a perfect peace that will always be there.  It is then that you can walk around with a perfect smile on your face.  It is then that you can be the testimony of God's love to others.

     Give it all over to him!
