Fear God.

God is huge. He is power. He is the ONE. He reigns. He is good!

In Isaiah (8:13) it says "Do not fear anything except the Lord Almighty. He alone is the Holy One. If you fear him, you need fear nothing else."

If we know that he is the one true thing to fear then nothing else that could possibly come across our tracks could ever frighten us.

God first all the way and we will be more than ok... ;)

Hehe I love God!

Hope is not lost

Hope. Waaa what a strong word.
A while ago I had a thought when I was writing a little birthday comment to someone...

What I started to type was... I “hope” you have a good day... but then I was like no... there is no reason to not have a good day so I began to retype the sentence saying... “have” a good day... I thought about it and I was like no, “hope” is better, because I can hope for them that they will have a fabulous day!

Hope is so powerful. There is always hope. Hope is empowering and exciting.
...These three things remain... faith, HOPE and love.

Don’t dismiss the hope that you know exists. “Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see.”

So, it’s like you have faith that they will have a good day. That’s choice.!

I love that we can stand strong for people around us. If one friend is down and feeling discouraged, we can come alongside them and boost them up with the faith and hope that we have within us, for them! Waa, how neat is that, that we can be a light for people who are feeling off track.. We are all in this together! Don’t shut yourself out. We love you! There is Hope for you. WE will hold the Hope for you, you can do it :)

Way beyond myself.

I've been thinking it's about time to win the war that fights against all the lies invading my mind. You have brought me to my senses. Even though you built this world to shake, you still love me in a personal way, so, I think it's time to leave my doubt behind. There's so much more than meets the eye or what's going on inside, I believe in something way beyond myself!

Like the wind that moves the leaves Lord, You move me to my knees. I believe in something way beyond myself! Oh the way we build our empires hoping to impress our friends we've forgotten how to inspire those who fall to rise again. Oh my God, You've built this world to shake you still love me in a personal way, so I think it's time to leave my doubt behind.

Storms are gonna come my way, I know some things are out of our control... but there's a hope beyond myself! It's You and You will never let me go. Now I want my life to show you got me thinking beyond myself. Way beyond myself!

There's so much more than meets the eye or what's going on inside. I believe in something way beyond myself. Like the wind that moves the leaves Lord, You move me to my knees, I believe in something way beyond myself!!!

Lord of Lords.

Beholding Your beauty is all that I long for, to worship You Jesus is my sole desire. For this very heart you have shaped for your pleasure, purposed to lift Your Name high!

Here in surrender in pure adoration I enter Your courts with an offering of praise! I am Your servant come to bring you glory, as is fit for the work of your hands.

Now unto the Lamb who sits on the throne be glory and honour and praise; all of creation resounds with the song, worship and praise Him the Lord of lords.

Spirit now living and dwelling within me, keep my eyes fixed ever on Jesus' face, let not the things of this world ever sway me, I'll run 'til I finish the race!

Now unto the Lamb who sits on the throne be glory and honour and praise. All of eternity echoes the song, worship and praise Him, the Lord of lords.

Holy Lord you are holy, Jesus Christ is t h e Lord. Now unto the Lamb who sits on the throne be glory and honour and praise. Call all the sinners to join in the song, worship and praise Him the Lord of lords!

People Person Someone.

People who do not dress modestly could be looked upon as people who do not respect themselves or the people around them. People who ignore the feelings of others do not help them to stand strong and pure. Why then do people dress un-modestly? Do they want to feel loved so draw attention to themselves like that? They will only get attention from the wrong people, people who do not encourage them but rather take advantage of them. No one can appreciate us quite like God; no one can fulfil our needs other than God. We need to focus on Jesus, the light bearer the one who provides security and boldness. If our eyes are gazing on Jesus we won’t need acceptance and reassurance from the ones around us. God is all we need; God first. That’s the number one commandment. With God first everything pans out. When God is first everything will fall into place. Thank you Lord for a sound mind, a mind like Christ. Thank you that we hold Your glory and we have the opportunity to show people how much you mean to us through the way we dress and the way we live. Thank you that that doesn’t hinder the fun we can have! You are soooo fun and we can have all of that!!!!!

Beautiful.

Ahhh God is so beautiful. He always knows what is going on and he is so good. Far he blows my mind...

I love it when he walks you through things - taking things at a pace which you can handle. I love it how he makes you all mushy inside and he loves to give you examples and bring it ‘down to earth’ so you can understand, haha thanks God!

This afternoon I felt like doing a little drawing – God led me through it (prophetic!) While I was enjoying spending time with him I youtubed a song that I wanted to find and guess what... the words in that song, matched my drawing - haha nice one God! After that he prompted me to look at the song from different perspectives and downloaded encouraging constructive things for me to work on daily. Pure genius our Lord is! hehe

Opening ourselves to Holy Spirit is amazing, you learn lots, are at peace and just feel so good, plus have fun! :D

Jesus wins!

All who

All who do evil hate the light and will not come to the light, because it will show all the evil things they do. John 3:20

How then do we get people to the light?
