True Love

I was sent this email and it really touched and inspired me.. both at the difference that determination and commitment can make and that, if you truly, deeply (not just superficially) LOVE someone, you will fight for them and for your love no matter what circumstances life may hit you with!

I hope this blesses and encourages you!

Blessings!

LOVE STORY ...

a story in pictures you won't forget easily..

Weak Made Strong

I often worry about not having the capacity and ability to achieve what I need to do, but everytime, God reminds me that it is not about my ability, but about who my trust is in- if it is in myself, well then I really am in trouble, but if it is in God, He will use me to achieve what he asks me to do, whether it seem possible or not!

Be encouraged that God can use anyone and anything to do His work and that He uses us to bring glory to Himself through our weakness and brokenness.

Blessings!

Christ Is the Power

by Joyce Meyer - posted May 15, 2013

And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, . . . so that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God. —1 Corinthians 1:28–29

“But to those who are called, . . . Christ [is] the Power of God and the Wisdom of God” (Corinthians 1:24). When God calls us to do something, He enables us to do it. Remember, God uses inadequate people to do important things because that way He gets the glory.

So if God calls you to do something today that seems too big for you to handle, Christ will give you the power and the wisdom that you need to do it. God has said to each of us, “My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Train Yourself

I am teetering on the edge of committing to something big for June and am unsure if I can achieve it, but it is really on my heart… I have been praying about it and then read the following post by Joyce Meyer tonight, which I felt very inspired by. I hope it encourages and blesses you.

Blessings!

Train Yourself

by Joyce Meyer - posted April 29, 2013

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. —Proverbs 23:7

I encourage you to practice being a positive person. It’s just a matter of breaking one bad habit and forming a new one. I was so negative at one time in my life that if I even tried to think two positive thoughts in a row my brain got into a cramp. But now I am very positive and actually don’t enjoy being with people who are negative.

Discipline is required any time you are forming a new habit. You might consider putting some reminders around your house or in your car, like little signs that say “Be positive.” Ask a good friend or spouse to remind you if they hear you slipping into negativism.

Practice trusting yourself rather than doubting yourself. If you are applying for a promotion at work, don’t think to yourself or say, “I probably won’t get it.” Pray and ask God to give you favor with your employer and then say, “I believe I will get the job!” And if you try and the outcome isn’t what you were hoping for, then tell yourself, “If the job was right for me, God would give it to me, and since He didn’t, He must have something even better in mind for me.” You can train yourself to be positive in what appears to be a negative situation.

Lord, show me where I am stuck in negativity and need to break through to trusting You. Help me to have the right thoughts and attitudes that move me forward. Amen.
