Tonight's Word ๐ŸŒฑ

  Cloud formation - October 28, 2022 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord. thoughts of peace and not of evil. to give you a future and a hope." - Jeremiah 29:11. God be with us ๐ŸŒฑ Today, while driving in traffic on my way home, and singing along to this song on my playlist [see below], I looked up and saw what was in the above photo of the clouds. I don't know about you, but I pictured God holding the world, and more specifically, me, in His hands, and what a comfort that was. Of course this means that if He has me in His hands, He has definitely got you too. I don't know what you may be going through, but our Father in heaven wants to reassure us. He's got you. Let's purpose to remain in His hands. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ Be Alright (Evan Craft, Redimi, Danny Gokey)

The Great Disappointment

God makes the life fertile by disappointments, as he makes the ground fertile by frosts. - Henry Ward Beecher  Have you ever been disappointed? Stood up by someone? Failed an exam? Been owed money that was never returned? Been at the receiving end of a broken promise? Lied to or betrayed? Been bypassed for an opportunity, or even missed an important occasion? Disappointment seems to come as a result of a wide variety of circumstances, but all have one thing in common. We expected better. Shakespeare put it like this: "Expectation is the root of all heartache". No-one enjoys heartache. If expectation opens us up to the possibility of hurt and disappointment, is it therefore an unrecommended act? Or does it continue to be a contract we are all willing to sign regardless of the outcome, but with the contingent hope that it will be met? Expectation, while offering a desirable sense of anticipation and security, if not based on solid ground or a certain premise of reality, it pri

Remember whose you are ๐Ÿฆ‹

Remember whose you are written by Dora Seecharan Dedicated to the forgetful and the forgotten R emember who you are, bought with a great price, suffered and tried for, beneficiary of a life humbly lived and sacrificed.  Remember who you are, the apple of God's eye, a child of the King, a servant called out of servitude to serve in freedom.  Remember who you are, birthed in humility, called to act justly, love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with our God.  Remember who you are. Sandaled feet walked miles and miles to reach you, be an example for you, to lead the way.  Remember who you are when you find yourself forgetting your worth, your purpose, your Father.   “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. - Isaiah 43:1 Remember who you are. You are known by name. The number of hairs on your head has been counted, your every thought is known by Him. Remember who you are. Your big brother in heaven came to this earth, fought for you, and is waiting fo

"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the Lord, who has compassion on you.  -Isaiah 54:10 Prayer : Release me from what has drawn me far away from You, and bring me back to that state of innocence, purity, confidence, contentment and deep communion with You, my Lord, my first true Love. God be with us ๐ŸŒฑ

First time thoughts

Image
I sometimes feel so inadequate that I think my silence is more golden than my spoken word or appearance. I express myself best when writing than speaking ad lib. My desire is for Him to continue working on me with patience and intentionally. I trust His beauty and grace. May this space be a ready reminder to me to bloom where I am planted. The giants of faith inspire me to keep striving for that which is good and eternal.  It is my desire to continue looking forward, being useful in my Redeemer's hands and for His purpose, straining in my own feeble way toward the mark of the high calling, and being sober-minded in a distracting world. A life well-lived, reverent yet exuberant, and also meaningful for my audience of One, so help me Lord. Let my words count๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
