May all who are godly be happy in the Lord…”

Love your people…

Be kind to the world…

Be gentle and hopeful…

And most of all let His light of beauty illuminate your steps, that others will see His love from above…

A Beautiful Heart… #ForeverFaithful

A Beautiful Heart

A Beautiful heart …

That has always been my biggest heart’s desire…

Seek to love God with all that you are.

Let Him in every nook and cranny of your heart, soul and mind…

He will cleanse, brighten and fill you with light.

His love fills you with freedom… forgiveness….  and genuine hope.

Before I Knew God and the power of His embrace, A beautiful heart was a distant dream…

The stains of sorrow, and the sadness of failure consumed my every thought…

How wonderful is His Name…

He took all that I was and made me white as snow…

He invaded my soul with mercy and grace…

He cleansed my heart…

He made me beautiful In His eyes…

Great and beautiful are His thoughts towards you…

Let Him In.

All the way In.

He has You…

He knows You..

And He loves You…

Just as You are.

“You saw me before I was born.

Every day of my life was recorded in Your book.

Every moment was laid out before  a single day had passed.

How precious are Your thoughts about me.

O, God. 

They cannot be numbered!

I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand!

And when I wake up, You are still with me!

Psalm 139:16-18

Oh Lord,

How good is Your dwelling place…

Your love has conquered the darkness, and saturated every part of me.

Walking with You is my biggest joy…

Thank You for chasing me down.

For cleansing me, and  making all things new…

You have given my life meaning…

You are the beauty that lives in me…

How grateful I am.

How precious is Your Name…

Thank You Dear Father…

I love You,

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

 

 

Symphony of Grace… #Kindness

Judge nothing

Surrounded in a symphony of grace, may we keep love, hope and compassion as our guide…

Life is messy….

People are messy…

When we listen with our hearts attuned to the music of love; patience and goodness will always follow…

Let’s be gentle with each other…. Let’s give God a chance to work in and around our lives for His glory and our peace…

He wants the best for each of us…

When we give Him a chance to shine in our circumstances, the outcome is always His peace that transcends all understanding… (Phil4:7)

Be patient…

Listen with love…

God will always show us the way…

Live in Love,

Lisa

“Therefore since we are surrounded by such huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith,

let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up.

And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.”

Hebrews 12:1

 

You Are Living Your Story… #LiveLove

you are living your story

“Happy are those who are strong in the Lord,

who set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

When they walk through the valley of weeping, It will

become a place of refreshing springs, where pools of blessings collect after the rains!

They will continue to grow stronger, and each of them will appear before God in

Jerusalem…

A single day in Your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else….”

Psalm 84

Stay strong under the wings of God’s loving shelter…

Set your eyes on His love … His grace.  His hope.

He walks with you through times of weeping…

He cheers with you in times of victory…

He broadens your path; He strengthens our hearts…

There will be a day when we enter His Courts… Our lives lived out to their fullest…

We will enter His gates with tears of great joy and cheer.. That will be the day our souls will

be set free…

So much love…

So much joy.

Each day is a gift…

Live well…

Live love…

Better is one day in Your Courts than thousands elsewhere!

That is the beauty of God’s love…

Happy weekend,

Live in Love,

Lisa

 

For All That Is Good… #LoveGod

Know this

“I have given them the glory that You gave me, so they may be one as we are one.

I am in them, and You are in me.

May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that

you love them as much as you love Me.

John 17:22-23

Father,

I love You so very deeply.

Your words take my breath away.

That Jesus, right before being arrested, and then crucified,  prayed these words of truth

over the disciples, is so beautiful and complete…

You have made Your truths so real, and I am so truly grateful…

May we experience such perfect unity in Your love and care  that those around us will know

You love them too…

That is the grand purpose of Your love …

That we shed the spirit of Your light…Your hope,  and the power of Your truth …

How I praise Your Holy Name …

May the gentleness of Your touch keep changing my world…

Thank You for choosing me.

I want to make You proud…

I love You…

I depend on You for all that is good.

In Jesus Name,

I pray

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

 

That The World Will See Love… Arise

just keep slaying

“Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach.

This mad the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that He was associating

with such despicable people –

even eating with them!

So Jesus used this illustration:

“If you had one hundred sheep, and one of them strayed away and was lost in the

wilderness, wouldn’t you leave the ninety-nine others to go and search for the lost one

until you found it?

And then you would joyfully carry it home on your shoulders.

When you arrived, you would call together your friends and neighbors to rejoice with you

because your lost sheep was found.

In the same way, Heaven will be happier over one lost sinner who returns to God than over

ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!”

Luke 1-7

Our calling is Love…

To be a vessel of hope and light…

To know that we are all prone to wander, stumble and lose our way…

To have hearts of compassion and genuine humility…

That is the Love Jesus poured over the lost and weary…

His heart was always soft and ready to receive the brokenhearted …

May our hearts stay soft, covered by the warmth of His love.

May our days be filled with the hope of helping another find their way into their Father’s

arms…

Lord,

Turn my eyes to the love of Heaven…

To the heartbeat of Jesus’ great compassion on our hearts.

That He joyfully carried me into Your throne of mercy  melts my heart, and

encourages so much goodness.

Thank You for opening my eyes to the power of Your hope…

May Your love,  forgiveness,  and great  mercy reign through my heart…

May my life be a sweet aroma of Your love and amazing hope…

I love You.

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

Like A Freak Load… #Lovechangesthings

like a freak load

“Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond

the clouds.”

Psalm 36:5

His love reaches to the heavens…

His faithfulness to the skies…

He longs to talk tenderly to your heart…

“But then I will win her back once again.

 I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her there.

I will return her vineyards to her and transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope.

She will give herself to me there, as she did long ago when she was young,

When I freed her from her captivity of Egypt.”

Hosea 2:15

In the quietness of your journey,  He is leading you into His gateway of hope…

Don’t be afraid to be still, He is transforming Your Valley of Trouble, He is speaking

tenderly to your heart that you will surrender your fear…

He has spoken freedom and hope over Your life.

He has freed you from captivity and made you His own…

Let His love be your guide, and His tenderness over you, your lifeline.

When you surrender to His love, life begins.

Father,

That you long to speak tenderly to me is life giving…

That Yours is the voice of goodness and peace, forever fills my soul with hope and grace…

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

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

1John 4:18

You are LOVE..

You are my love…

And

I am made perfect in your love.

May YOUR light shine bright… casting out all shadows of fear, because perfect love drives

out fear!

Hallelujah to our God and our King.

In Jesus Name,

Amen

Live in Love,
