Reflections Of The Heart

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....

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! ****************************************** God bless you all!

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'...

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!

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! ***************************************** GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

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! ******************************************* 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 a...
