“But you are a chosen people a royal priesthood,

a holy nation,

a people belonging to God, that

you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.

Once yo were not a people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy…”

1 Peter 2:9-10

How beautiful are you…

Chosen out of the darkness and carried into the light of God’s beauty and grace…

We were once lost in the darkness… wandering as if blind, our hearts aching for what was

good, right, and true…

But glory to God, who pours His rich mercy into our souls and covers our hearts in His

loving kindness…

May we walk securely in His presence…

basking  in His light…

Not worried about tomorrow.

Thankful for today…

In Jesus Name

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

“Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against Him.”

Romans 4:7-8

This is such an important reminder….

Dear Blessed One,

God has you…

He is working in and for you.

Rest in Him.

God.  Will Never. Not. Ever. … Turn His back on you.

Keep His love close…

Trust Him in the messes, that’s where His light shines brightest.

“Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed, and so became the Father of many nations,

just as it had been said to him ” So shall your offspring be..”

Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead since

he was about a hundred years old-  and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not

waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God,

but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God being fully persuaded that God had

power to do what He had promised.

This is why it was credited to him as righteousness.

The words accredited to him were written not for him alone but for us to whom God will

credit righteousness for us who believe in Him, who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.’

Romans 4:18-24

Believing  that God is working gives us the  strength to do the next thing..

Believing gives  us the victory to live and love…

When we believe God is in control, we literally don’t need to worry.

Let go…

Let love win…

Chose to receive His promises over worry, and don’t stop moving forward.

I love you..

In Jesus Name,

We pray…

Amen

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction; faithful in prayer.  

Share with God’s people who

are in need.

Practice hospitality.”

Romans 12:12-18

Opportunities to Love are all around us.

No matter what we are personally going through,  may we make it our goal to leave others

better than we found them…

May we keep our hearts humbled before our Savior’s Holy Throne…

“Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ, any comfort from His love,  any

common sharing in the Spirit.  

Are your hearts tender and compassionate?   Then make my joy complete by being like-

minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.  

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.  Rather, in humility value others above

yourselves not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others..”

Philippians 2:3-4

May our hearts be joyful in hope..and patient in affliction.

 May our hearts be soft…  and our thoughts pure…

May we endure in God’s goodness and mercy… love and  forgiveness…

May we not rush to judgement, but be faithful in prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father,

May my heart be surrendered to Your hearts desires..

May pride and selfishness be stripped from my soul…

May I be a vessel to love and to give… to share and receive…

May my heart bend to Your will…

May Your Spirit shine, as I become less and You become more…

I love You,

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Dear Heavenly Father,

I cried out for Your comfort and You touched my hand…

For a minute I forgot Your yoke was easy and Your burden was light…

I tried to carry my burdens…

 and in that exact moment, my world seemed as though it was crashing down…

But…

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,  for His compassions never fail.

They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

I say to myself,

“The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him.”

Lam 3:22-24

Great is Your faithfulness…

Oh Lord,

You are more portion, therefore I will wait for You…

I will lay my heart at the throne of Your feet…

I will not push or prod…

I will pick up my cross, and keep moving along…

No looking down, No looking back…

Great is Your faithfulness..

Great is Your Name…

In Jesus Name

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

It happens…

But we need to keep on going and going and going and going… :)

More trust…More faith…

More hope…

More joy…

Life is liquid… Always moving, always changing…

With water everything grows, and blooms…

With God on our side what can stop us?…

We must learn to trust God where we are fearful…

There will be growing pains for sure…

Things will be moving, changing… growing and even blooming.. and maybe, even, all at once…

As we learn that our life is about faith…

Not sight.

His power becomes stronger…

His presence more piercing…

“A man’s steps are directed by the Lord.  How then can anyone understand His own way?”

Proverbs 20:24

Oh Lord, build in me a stronger faith…

In Jesus Name,

Amen

The freedom walk…

The freedom walk is letting go of self…

The freedom walk  is casting my fears and failures into the wind, moment by moment… day by day…

Making room for grace … for joy … for hope and love…

Trusting in God’s holiness, and not in myself…

That’s huge… So huge!!!

If we wait to feel worthy of God’s love and good  purposes , days will turn into nights, nights will turn into weeks, weeks will turn into years…living in deafest and hopelessness is not from God…

“I saw the Lord always before me.

Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue will rejoice;

 my body will find rest in hope,  because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, you

will not let your holy one see decay. (referring to Jesus)

You have made known to me the paths of life;

You will fill me with joy in your presence.”

Acts 2:24-28

We only have the here and now...

We need God’s promises of love and kindness now...

In our mortalness, we are going to mess things up… sometimes more than others! haha

But…

moving forward; into a new level of maturity,  happens when we let go of fear,

on purpose!

We let go of who we think we should  be, and live  who we are…our perfectly…  imperfect

self :)

We let God’s truth of who we are invade every cell of our soul, and never turn back…

We keep moving forward…

We keep loving God…  We keep loving and caring for others…

We forgive our hearts, and we accept grace…

Grace is relying on God’s power.

Grace is relying on  God’s purposes;  so we can have His strength to live in the moments of

right now :)

We do not fear…

We stay in the light…

We push forward with all of our might!

(Hahaha I made a rhyme!)

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear as to do with punishment.

The man who fears is not made perfect in love.”

1 John 4:18

You. Are. Made. Perfect. In. His. LOVE…

Press on Friend…

The world needs Your light of freedom :)

Live in Love,

Lisa
