“A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones…”
Proverbs 17:22
A cheerful heart…
Oh Lord, I come before You this new day, thanking You for the beauty in Your truths…
There are so many days when our hearts feel heavy, and our spirits crushed, how I thank You for this treasure..
Looking for beauty in the ashes changes everything…
We can choose to let our bones dry up, or we can choose a cheerful heart that heals and protects…
That is good medicine :)
Help us, oh Lord, to choose You…
To seek Your loving wisdom and comfort, and to be a light of hope for others that feel their bones drying up…
Life can be so hard…
But Your love changes everything…
Thank You, Heavenly Father,
In Jesus Name,
I pray,
Amen
Live in Love,
Lisa

Proverbs 16:24

How I thank You, Heavenly Father, for those who seek kindness.. for those whose loyalties are to loving You and loving others…
Their lives refresh my spirit, and their words always bring healing…
Help us to seek Your love first, Oh Lord, that our lives; and words, would be beautiful in Your eyes…
I love You, Jesus,
In Your name, I pray,
Amen
Live in Love,

“Everyone enjoys a fitting reply;
it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!”
Proverbs 15:23
How refreshing it is when you ask a question, and the reply is gentle.
Kind…
Oh, Lord, How I praise and thank You for Your gentleness in my life…
I can come before You broken and weary; and You fill my heart with hope..
Oh, Lord, thank You so much that I don’t have to protect my heart in Your presence…
Help me to be Your sweet goodness to this hurting world…
Help me to listen with my heart, that my reply will always be filled with hope, goodness and the reflection of Your love…
We are all seeking to matter…
Help us to show others just how much they matter to You…
In Jesus Name,
I pray,
Amen
Live in Love,

“A wise woman builds her house; a foolish woman tears hers down with her own hands.
Proverbs 14: 1
I sooo never want to underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, or the smallest act of caring…
Each of these, sweet and selfless acts, has the ability to penetrate deeply into someone’s heart, and give them hope to carry on…
People matter. You matter..
How we live each day matters…
How I want to build my house right…
Good..
When I rush through my day, filled with worry, and strife, I can leave behind a trail of wrecklessness and hurt…
Oh Lord, give us the strength to see beyond ourselves. Fill my heart, my mind and my thoughts with the desires of Your heart…
To be a woman who builds her house in love is my deepest heart’s desire…
Forgive me for the times I have torn down those whom I love….
Guide my steps, reminding me that today matters. Help me to be present, hopeful and helpful…
Please give me the wisdom
to live in the moment, not worried about tomorrow, or burdened with yesterday..
To know that my purpose in this world is to rock my world with love..
Lord, I depend on You for the courage and strength I need to live my life in the present…
Lord, You are my God, and I will follow You…
I give You my day, Father,
May I glorify you in all that I say and do…
In Jesus Name,
Amen.
Live in Love

“A wise woman builds her house; a foolish woman tears hers down with her own hands. Those who follow the right path fear the Lord; those who take the wrong path despise Him.”
Proverbs 14: 1-2
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life..”
Proverbs 13:12
This proverb is hard for me…
With a heart full of passions and longings, I can feel heartsick so much of my life…
But putting my hope in who God is, letting my roots grow deep; subsides wanting’s, and comforts my heart…
His love.
His presence; fulfills every longing and hope I can even imagine…
One day at a time, seeking His grace, keeps my heart from feeling sick…
He covers my longings, and deeply roots my desires in who He is…
His goodness; fulfills my heart, gives me peace…
God, Himself, is my strength, and our refuge…
He is the Tree of life…
Drawing other’s into His almighty presence, gives our lives meaning…
That is truly life giving…
Live in Love,
Lisa
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
John 15:5
“Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing..”
Proverbs 12:18
Being on both sides of this, I know how much pain reckless words can bring…
For me. If I am not in God’s word.. being filled daily with His goodness and grace, I find myself loosing sensitivity to my words… and thoughts..
People matter..
Love matters…
Dear Heavenly Father, I love You so much… When I think of the sweetness and kindness You show me, my heart overflows with peace, and I am so thankful…
May You keep my heart soft for the things that matter most…
May You keep my heart aware of my own words, and help me to encourage and help other’s know just how valuable they are to You..
Reckless words can hurt us so deeply,
They can make us lose hope, and feel so isolated…
Oh, Father, help us to be aware…
I love You..
In Jesus Holy Name,
I pray,
Amen
You so matter to God.
Live in Love,
Lisa
“A Kindhearted woman gains respect, but ruthless men gain only wealth…”
Proverbs 11:16
Kindhearted or ruthless?
Respect or only wealth?
(Those words put together seem like oil and vinegar! Right! Lol)
Oh, Lord, may my heart be tender, filled with hope and desire to be kindhearted.
Thank You for each opportunity You place in my life that gives me the chance to live this out..
Choosing Kindheartedness over wealthy gain..
Wow…
Respect is never something I tend to think about.. Glorifying You and living in genuine peace with the Holy Spirit is my first love…
If respect is the overflow of kindhearted decisions…
That is something to be grateful for..
How I love You, and thank You for Your peace that overflows…
Help me to be a reflection of Your sweet and tender love..
That other’s will see You in my life… and may they desire to Understand who You are…
Only by Your grace…
In Jesus Name,
I pray,
Amen
Live in Love,
Lisa

“Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers all wrongs…”
Proverbs 10:12
Dear, Heavenly Father, Good morning… I love You.
Thank You for covering me with Your great love and redemption…
How I need Your words of hope and goodness…
I come before You, this beautiful new day, surrendering all that I am…
May my thoughts be washed in Your grace…
May my heart be filled with Your words…
Love is so much more powerful than hate…
How I pray my life would be a stunning reflection of Your great love that has covered my sin, and washed my soul…
For I know what hate does…
So thankful …
So very thankful..
Live in Love,

Oh, how my heart is pierced and comforted by these words…
“I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mortal men, the sons of men who are but grass..”
Isaiah 51:12
I can so easily get caught up in worry.
People pleasing can starve me from letting God’s goodness fill me, and that’s not a good place to find yourself…
A giant thumbs down :)
Remembering that I live my life; as the saying goes…
“For an audience of one..”
lightens my load, and wipes away my worry.
Oh, Heavenly Father, My Redeemer and hope…
How I praise Your goodness in my life.
Thank You for bringing to light the worries of my heart, I honestly didn’t even know why I was feeling so concerned…
Thank You for covering me with Your all mighty power, and grace..
I am humbled by Your mercies….
Living for an audience of one…
Keeping my heart open to Your voice…
What a joy and a privilege.
You ransomed me for Your good purposes, and that brings so much peace to my life…
How I thank You for Your loving comfort.
I am Yours.
Sealed by Your blood…
May my life glorify You today.
In Jesus Name, I pray,
Amen
Live in Love,
Lisa
“The Lord will surely comfort Zion, and will look with compassion on all her ruins. He will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing…”
