Take Heart… #hope

take heart“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in Me. 

Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows.  But take heart, because I have overcome the world…”

John 16:33

Many  trials, and sorrows…

It’s just part of life…

Learning to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus… Not focused on the current situation changes everything!

Not letting feelings of isolation or persecution overtake my thoughts…

Keeping in the light of what is true..

“We will have many trials and many sorrows….”

This is always a challenge for me.  I can take things so personal… start to reflect on every word, every scenario …

And believe me, that’s a dark alley.. with no windows and no light!

God truly loves me.  He truly loves you.

We are not under persecution of His love…

We are His.

  He is working out our direction, and walking with us on our path, all we have to do is keep walking in His hope of goodness and the light of His love…

No matter how hard today is… God is working on your behalf for a better tomorrow.

Dear precious Heavenly Father, how I need to take this time to empty my heart of all my fears.. all my worries..

I come before You, knowing You have my way already mapped out…

I am depending on You for my strength…

Thank You for always calling me straight into Your presence…

Opening my heart, and catching all of my fears.

My life is in Your hands, and for that I am truly grateful.

Help me to live in love today.  Not focused or worried about tomorrow, but fully engulfed in loving You, and being an extension of Your beauty and grace…

May other’s see in me Your comfort, and may they too want to know You!

How I pray this in Jesus Holy Name,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

“…for the Father loves you dearly because you love me and believe that I came from God…”
