I had a not so good day last week and wanted to share what calmed and restored me. It's about when there seems to be a crisis (maybe to self more than others, or maybe after its all done it was not that important) but felt compelled to share. If you wouldn't mind would you let me know if this is too big of a post for here. Juanital blog (http://wp.me/MhbJ)
Thank you

When reading and meditating on HIS word, nothing is too long; so thank you for sharing.
In fact, as I was reading because of its length, a peace started to come over me and I just kept reading and wanted more...
This was a wonderful way to start the work day.
I thank you, Jesus , for bringing me here today on the day you created me...A lovely birthday message for me to contemplate...
Praise the Lord..
MAny times in life there seems to be no way out. Then a door or window opens!
Thank you much, Joyce! I am learning how to share the Word of God-where as before I found it difficult to put into words/descriptions. He sends his HolySpirit/Ghost to bring remembrance of those words and sends his comfort through Jesus Christ our Lord. That's why its important to be a hearer and a doer! When you read the bible-God's written word for us. When we hear the word that's him speaking and when we trust without seeing-we believe we receive-thats faith! Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Our God is a good God. He does not try to teach us a lesson but its up to us follow the way we should go-that's the way Christ did and we, too. Apply his way to our way of living daily, moment to moment. WE are to become the family of God, and actually we are adopted into it, Eph 1:5. If we know Jesus, we know God and so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him, 1 Jn4:16 NIV and my goodness-I could keep going.... :).
Jesus is the door Jn10:9...to all things godly. WE can do nothing without going through him.
Yes, Dear Judy, sometimes it seems like that-The good news when we put our trust in God it is lessened- he makes a way out. Our fleshly mind sometimes forget to remember the spiritual mind that God has and to put our trust in him. That's where we must rebuke the devourer and turn on fire of the spirit of God. His Holy Spirit is sent to help do that, but if were not fighting with the word of God we become into subjection then to what ever is going on. Where as if we had only left it too God-yes, make prayer & supplication but also have faith to receive it. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God! Christ has defeated the enemy. He was tempted but nevered sinned. He did nothing wrong, but everything right. He is our REdeemer, Our Healer...Our SAviour...
and we do tend to forget to take the right steps. But we must stand-then stand again, Fight the good fight and run that race. it just helps to share to be inspired or encouraged and maybe even helpful to lead someone to God. and Im glad Christian Photographers is here for sharing. I haven't found an active Christian community where one can share without being judged.
Blessings to All-with a godly love....
