Living In the Light of Beauty & Forgiveness…#Arise

In the long runLiving in the light of today means not taking yesterdays heart breaks or failures with you…

Living in the light of beauty  and forgiveness gives me the strength to be better today… tomorrow, and forever…

“Dear Friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as thought something strange were happening to you.

But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed.

If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of God rests upon you.”

1 Peter 4:14

Whatever the fiery trials are that surround your space, they are not unseen by God…

When fires seem to burn all around you, when darkness begins to cover your hope, Take a stick, and  light your torch…

“Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.  I have suffered much, O Lord; restore my life again as you promised.”

Psalm 119:107

Let God’s love burn bright and shine ever so bright… then stand firm in His goodness…

He is at work, fighting the fears and strengthening your heart.

He is cleansing you…

“Create in my a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit withing me.”

Psalm 51:10

Oh Lord,

As I walk through unknown and unfamiliar territories, my heart cries out to you with praise and thanksgiving…

I know you are strengthening.. comforting…  and filling me with hope, tenderness and covering me with Your  peace…

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leas me beside the still waters.

He restores my soul: He leads me in paths of righteousness for His nae’s sake.

Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; Your rod and Your staff they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You annoit my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

Psalm 23

Thank You Jesus, that my life… my heart… my soul matters to You…

In my trials I find Your strength…

May I represent You well… and may Your heart of goodness be my heart’s desire…

Your power and Your glory, Oh Lord, my King of Kings…

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,
