There is hope...

07 Sep 2011

You can turn back to God, because He has not turned His back on you.

You can hold on to God, because He has not released His hold on you.

You can love God again, because He has never stopped loving you.

I have formed you, you are My servant; O Israel, you will not be forgotten by Me! I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, And like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you. Isaiah 44:21-22

them?



If I

never corrected you, How would you know that I

love you?

all power, Then how would you learn to depend on

me?



If your

life was perfect, Then what would you need me

for?


Love,


Jesus

Increased Capacity

09 Sep 2011

For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness. Psalm 107:9

The potter can take a lump of clay and form it into a vessel that holds a pint of water. The potter can also take the same lump of clay and form it into a vessel that holds twice the amount of water. This is done by the potter's skillful hands as he reshapes the vessel to increase its capacity to hold more.

Do you sense the hands of your Heavenly Potter shaping and stretching you as His vessel? He is doing it to increase your capacity to receive more of His fullness—His life, His love, His strength, His power, His grace.

"The souls which thirst for His promises may evermore be filled from His abundance." -Gelasian

"Not a prayer, not an act of faithfulness in your calling, not a self-denying or kind word or deed; not a weariness or painfulness endured patiently; not a duty performed; not a temptation resisted; but it enlarges the whole soul for the endless capacity of the love of God." – E.B. Pusey

Nothing Is Impossible With God!
The world says,
"can't succeed,
can't change,
can't hope."

God says..."Oh, yes, you can!"
Because He can do anything.

Nothing, you see, is impossible with God.
Luke 1:37 The Message

Encouragement Through Community
I don't have a lot of friends.
I don't say this to make you get that weird feeling in the pit of your stomach, the one that tastes like pity. It's just a fact. And it's been my choice. I'm an introvert, so it comes naturally.

When I joined the online blogging world four years ago, it was exactly what I needed. I found community. I filled that space in me that craved to be understood and accepted.

Why We Need Community on (in)courage.

For the last two years God has brought together an amazing community of women on (in)courage. We invite you to be part of what God is doing on this home for the hearts of women anytime, just as you are. Come and dip your feet in the water and be encouraged.

The Hilton Head Island Chamber of Commerce hosted the (in)courage bloggers for a long weekend of dreaming, praying, and planning, along with relaxation and fun. Special thanks to them and Resort Rentals of Hilton Head Island for bringing the online beach house to life!

My son, My son, why are you striving
You can't add one thing to what's been done for you
I did it all while I was dying
Rest in your faith, my peace will come to you.

-Keith Green

"My peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you." John 14:27

We do not fret about self-preservation, for we know "we are immortal until our work is done." We may live from hand to mouth, but it is God's hand...it is blessed so to live." –Vance Havner

But none of these things move me; neither do I esteem my life dear to myself, if only I may finish my course with joy and the ministry which I have obtained from the Lord Jesus. Acts 20:24 AMP

[Judy Harder]

When your world falls apart ... 

Your health is failing ... the bills are piling up ... your spouse, child, or friend has hurt you ... or other painful circumstances continue to beat you down ...

God's love for you remains strong and sure.

And when the falling apart is a result of your own poor choices and sin?  God still loves you! 

No matter what is going on in your life, God is our Solid Rock!

always remember the love and other unchanging qualities of your loving Savior.  Attributes to see you through when your world falls apart. 

God bless you!

Where Would We Be Without Jesus

Sep 15 2011

Without Jesus' words we would be witnesses with nothing to say; without Jesus' authority we would be ambassadors with nothing to do; without Jesus' love we would be servants with nothing to give.

"Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 NLT

Know What to Carry

17 Sep 2011

Never put down trust, because that is something God wants you to carry;

Never pick up cares, because that is something God wants you to cast away.

"Cast all your care upon Him because He cares for you"

"Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward."

1 Peter 5:7; Hebrews 10:35

Prayers

20 Sep 2011

The great and mighty things that God wants to show you are often the answers to prayers that you have prayed. Keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking—answers will come, doors will be opened, promises will be fulfilled.

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3 KJV

Those Days (without the Lord); This Day (in the Lord); That Day (with the Lord), Part 1

Sep 22 2011

Sing to the Lord, bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Psalm 96:2

In those days we were filled with darkness; in this day we are flooded with light; in that day we will behold His glorious appearing.

In those days we were filled with confusion; in this day we have His peace; in that day we shall dwell with the Prince of Peace.

In those days we lived without the knowledge of the Lord; in this day we have the mind of Christ; in that day we shall know even as we are known.

In those days we lived in spiritual hunger; in this day we dine on living bread; in that day we will feast at the marriage supper of the Lamb.

In those days we were without hope; in this day we are filled with hope; in that day we will experience the blessed hope.
