Rise And Shine… #Newbeginningsrock

this is your time to shine

“Being confident in this, that He who began a good work in you will carry

it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 1:6

He is chiseling, and softening  every hardened and rough place in your

heart…

He is forever

cleaning, and destroying the broken and chipped edges that cut and tear…

Those pieces that keep us wounded and bleeding…

Those pieces that keep us from seeing and knowing His fountain of  love…

His purpose is always, and forever, to draw us near…To destroy the lies that keep us from seeing His power, and His glory.

His purpose is always to surround our hearts with songs of victory …and His shield of protection….

“How I love you Lord!

You are my defender.

“The Lord is my protector; He is my strong fortress. My God is my protection, and with Him I am safe…”

Psalm 18:1-3

He surrounds us

with His love and favor…

“For the Lord is a sun and a shield:

The Lord bestows favor and honor; not good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless.

O Lord, Almighty

blessed is the man who trusts in you.”

Psalm 84:11-12

Oh Lord,

How I trust in You!

You plucked our lives from the pit of despair,

You cleansed my soul, making me blameless in Your sight…

I can be confident in Your Holy love… and  special favor …. that cleanses and renews…

Your loving kindness is unmistakable…

Your purpose is is always… and has always been to draw my heart near…

Thank You for shinning Your light of grace over me.

I kneel in awe,

and stand in grace…

All this for Your glory Lord…

All this that our hearts and lives will shine of Your perfect hope.. Your perfect love…  and Your precious grace..

Use my life, Dear Lord…

I am Yours.

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love

Onward and Upward… #Newbeginningrock

onward and upward“You are the light of the world-

like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.

Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to

everyone in the house.

In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that

everyone will praise your Heavenly Father…”

Matthew 5:15

It’s truly all about His goodness.

It’s truly all about helping others taste and see that He is good…

“Taste and see that He is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in

Him..”

{psalm 3: 49}

Take refuge in arms of grace.

Take hope in His calling over you.

How I pray you will be secure in God’s loving kindness spilling over your

every thought…

May you hear His tender voice of reason asking you to let go of what was…

to

let go of things you can not change.

There is a destiny awaiting you.

There is great joy ahead.

Keep His love bound around your heart…

Keep His truths on your lips…

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go

and bear fruit- fruit that will last and so that whatever you ask in my name the

Father will give to you..”

John 15:16

Your heart …. and your days matter to the One who drew you near…

To the One who sees your tired and weary heart…

Don’t turn back.

Let His light shine for all mankind.

“He has given me an instructed tongue for the weary, to know the word of that

sustains the weary.

Morning by morning He awakens me and opens my understanding to His will..”

Isaiah 50:4

Morning by morning…

Your life matters…

We have work to do…

We have love to give.

And kindness to share.

We can, and we will make a difference in those that God draws near…

This is the beginning of trusting He has a plan, and He has Your heart.

Walk in peace…

Onward and Upward.

In Jesus Name,

Amen

Live in Love,
