God is good to give encouragement

​Just some encouragement that God has given me. Sometimes it takes time to heal when you go through hard seasons of life  but I am thankful for encouragement that God gives! 

“If it wasn’t for the struggle you wouldn’t have strength. God is always building you even when it seems like he is breaking you”

“In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.“ Psalm 138:3

“Your needs

Your worries 

Your burdens 

Your wounds 

God is taking care of it. “

“Your heart is not too heavy for God to carry”

“You're not alone - Jesus is with you
He said he always would abide
just speak his name you'll feel his presence
You're not alone - He's by your side“

“When you are feeling down, go be a blessing to someone else” 

“ When your eye of faith is dim

Still hold on to Jesus sink or swim

Still at his footstool Bow the Knee

And Israel’s God thy peace shall be”

Just a few good hymns

​The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. “ Psalm 28:7 

Amazing Grace: 

“ The Lord hath promised good to me,
  His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
  As long as life endures.”

He will be my shield and portion! 

It is Well

“But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,

1. The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
   Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
   Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!”

 

Jesus is coming again! 

I am thine Lord

“ O the pure delight of a single hour

  That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
  I commune as friend with friend!” 

We can spend time with God through prayer each day!! 

Higher Ground

“ Lord lead me up the mountain side,

I dare not climb without my Guide;
And, heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
with grateful heart from higher ground.”

Footprints of Jesus

“ Then at last, when on high He sees us,
our journey done,
we will rest where the steps of Jesus
end at His throne.” 

Take the time today to listen to some good music. It will help you 😀🎵🎶

Don’t Worry, God will take care of you

​Pray More Worry Less

Sometimes as humans, it is easier said than done. Last night I found myself worrying over something I could not control. I had to remember that God is in control. I can pray and leave the rest up to God 

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:6-7

*We can take even our little worries to God.

“ In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.”

Psalm 94:19

*We can go to God’s Word for Comfort 

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Matthew 6:25 

*God will take cares of us. God will provide our needs. We can rest in the promise that He will take care of His Own

🎵Why worry, when you can pray?

Trust Jesus, He will be your stay.

Don't be a doubting Thomas,

lean fully on His promise,

Why worry, worry, worry, worry when you can pray?

When you can pray, when you can pray, when you can pray🎵

🎶 Be not dismayed whatever betide

God will take care of you
Beneath His wings of love abide
God will take care of you

God will take care of you
Through everyday o'er all the way
He will care for you
God will take care of you 🎶

💜So today, take you worries to God with your worries. Trust God to take care of you. Trust His timing Trust His plan for you. 💜

Friends

​Friends

A couple examples In the Bible,

Jonathan and David 

“And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.“ 1 Samuel 18:1 

Paul, Priscilla and Aquila 

“Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.” Romans 16:3-4

We need to choose to have the right friends and we need to be the right friend for others. 

*Be the friend that encourages others. Encourage your friends to do right and keep doing right. Encourage them with scripture. 

“ Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” Proverbs 27:17

*Pray for your friends. Be the friend that others can count on you to pray. 

“ And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.” Job 42:10. 

*Be a loyal friend. 

“Be the kind of friend you would like to have.”

“A friend is one who strengthens you with prayers, blesses you with love, and encourages you with hope” 

“A dear friend makes everyday beautiful”

The first verse of Take Time to Be Holy says to make friends with God’s children

“Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word.
Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak,
Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek.”
