We Must Take Every Thought Captive...

~The Sweetness and Goodness of the Lord~

I will look for the blessings of God today!

This day may come and go without even a thought or

 An active attention to see and taste that the Lord is good.

We must be intentional in looking for His Goodness

May we remember that the Lord wants our full attention!

We have all heard the phrase; 

It just goes in one ear and out the other!

Don't allow the cares and distractions 

that will come your way today

To rob you of seeing the goodness in this day.

Troubles and just plain business will try to take over our

 minds and make us feel scattered brained.

We can't get our words out or think clearly.

We laugh and call this squirrel disorder.

But I will just sometimes just call out the name of Jesus;

Because the bottom line is this, distractions are

The enemies tool is to take our focus off a Christ like mind!

May we never forget we can call upon the name of Jesus...

We need to ask for protection over our minds 

Every single day!

We must not be lulled into a stupor,

 Follow the narrative, Do what you're told.

We are not puppets on a string, we are to follow God's

Direction and leading of the Holy Spirit!

Something will always TRY to control your mind.

That is why we are called to take EVERY thought captive.

Don't ever give up!

Press into Gods Grace and find your place under His Wings.

Hugs and Blessings

We are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus.

The Heart Of The Matter...

 

The heart of the matter...

We need to ask ourselves this question what really matters?

Your heart is the center of life. 

Your heart is where Jesus lives;

(We ask him to come and live in our hearts!)

But yet we can allow things in our hearts that are not Godly.

I do believe we can truly suffer from a broken heart.

We must guard our hearts!

We all want to be loved, yet we must be cautious

to whom or what we give our hearts to.

It's a powerful force to give your heart and to stand by

and to love in sickness or health.

Rich or poor,

We have all heard the saying, She has such a big heart.

What is in your heart today?

If there is any bitterness there?

If there is, ask for forgiveness!

(Because the root of bitterness will harden your heart)

We want our hearts to be filled with the goodness of God!

And allow our lives to share what we have stored up!

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:21

I often ask the Lord to cleanse my heart.

I want to make sure my treasure is in the right place.

Hide Gods Word in Your Heart

Share your heart desires with a friend

Let not your heart be troubled

Put your whole heart into what truly matters

Your heart is the wellspring of life...

~May your heart be healthy and strong~

If you would like to make these little hearts

I will put a link to the post!

Everyone needs a little heart...

He Came For Bruised Reeds...

 

Sometimes we can just feel snuffed out!

We feel it mostly after we have just walked through

A trial or just sloped into the valley of life.

We all know that there are Mountains top days and seasons.

And as the journey through life goes, 

We will have to walk through those valleys.

I went through a very difficult time, many years ago;

And I was just awe struck over this scripture!

"A bruised reed he will not break, 

and a faintly wick he will not quench;

he will faithfully bring forth justice."

Isaiah 42:3

Maybe you have been lead to believe that your best days

 are behind you. 

And and that you're feeling like a sputtering old candle.

Or feeling battered and broken like a bruised reed!

Well, I am here to tell you that Jesus makes use of smoldering wicks.

And He will not break a bruised reed.

This is what He does for those that wait upon Him;

He redeems us and uses us to bring light to the world!

In one way or another we are all bruised reeds.

And our wicks may be burning faintly.

Don't give in to the horrible downtrodden feelings.

Encourage yourself with this scripture!

It blessed me so much...

He'll never quench the smoking flax,

But raise it to a flame;

The bruised reed He never breaks,

Nor scorns the meanest name"

So believe this glorious news for you!

He will take care of you and you will be a shining light;

For His Glory...

The Life Giving Waters...

 

Water the Life Giving Stream

I think there is something so relaxing about seeing and hearing,

Water running or flowing or even crashing in nature.

Sitting on the beach, hearing the waves crashing one after another.

Or seeing a river run through the forest is exhilarating.

I do know that water gives and brings life where ever it goes.

I have always been intrigued about the Dead Sea;

Even the name of it sounds awful.

There is nothing living in this because its 10 times even

More salty than ordinary saltwater.

The water is so dense you can't even swim in it.

Nothing can live in these conditions!

So when we talk about life giving stream, this water

Is fresh and can support life.

We need this Living Water...

We would not live very long without it!

Most of us has experienced a season or year of drought.

The effects can be devastating.

I desire to bathe in it and to swim in it, to drink it;

And to even take in the sounds of it flowing.

But we must also be aware of the fact that Gods Words,

Is living water, given to us to refresh and revive our souls.

I need this life giving water abundantly!

Remember, even in nature, water is powerful;

And will bring life where ever it flows!

Enjoy Life, and drink of the Living Water...

It shall be that every living thing that moves,

Wherever the rivers go, will live.

~Ezekial 47:9~

Do Not Be Stingy With Words Of Kindness And Compliments...

~Why are we so guarded in showing kindness~

We let our friends and family go through our days and lives,

Without many words or compliments or showing appreciation!

~We are stingy with compliments~

We may hide our interest and kindly feelings toward others;

For fear of showing flattery, which others may become suspicious.

Or even jealous, but that should not be the case.

Even in our homes we can be so guarded in whole-hearted words;

And cheering words, 

We become lacking and insincere in much deserved words.

Let us make an intended effort to shower others;

With kindness, to manifest sympathy,

To give encouragement!

Silence in the presence of opportunity or need;

Is stealing from a moment of time given!

Do not leave someone empty when you are given an,

Abundance of substance...

Words that heal, fill and sustain 

Those very people that are in your path every day!

Some will be strangers, some will be family.

Fill their empty hearts and cups of need and want...

We can become so reckless in many areas of our lives;

So just maybe we could be reckless in showing kindness*

Make today, overflowing with;
