Chasing the Heart of God… #Hopeoverflowing

Ahhhhhh…

The heart of God.

There is so much beauty in each pretty word, isn’t there!

To chase goodness sets my heart in motion and gives me clear guidance in all things life :)

Seeking the heart of God is the most beautiful freedom I know…

“May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation… those good things that are produced in your life by Jesus Christ… for this will bring much glory and praise to God”

Philippians 1:11

A Beautiful Thing Is Never Perfect… #Hopeoverflowing

It’s true!

Life is never going to be perfect…

So maybe today… instead of worrying or wanting or wishing… fighting or pushing…

You just let go…..

Don’t let fear of the unknown creep in and keep you from living…

from loving…

from being the beautiful YOU that YOU are.

God has called YOU by name, and placed YOU right where you are.

You have all His love….

-And-

All of His heart…

His strength surges from His hand straight into your heart  :)

Keep your thoughts locked in His power..

He is your strength in times of trouble…

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble…”

Psalm 46:1

Our hope in days of despair..

“So do not be afraid, for I am with you.  Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you.  I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”

Isaiah 41:10

Our peace in times of confusion…

“Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding

in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your path straight…”

Proverbs 3:5

The very things we cannot control are the very things we aren’t supposed to control :)

Letting God enter your circumstances is our pathway to freedom…

Though we cannot see him, we can know that He is present.  He is available.  He is working things out for HIS glory…

Our part is to not manipulate … interfere …. or guide our situation in the direction we think it should go…

Letting go is not reckless….

When I let go, you put prayer in place of action….

Sometimes, we have to train our mind to seek God’s hope… in place of our desire :)

So, maybe, today, instead of worrying and wanting and pushing and fighting…

YOU Let go….

You take a step toward peace…

Today, show up in your life, seek goodness, seek light…

Let God have the battle… He is the great I am.

He is the great Victor :)

Dear Heavenly Father…

I need you.  I need your strength and your power….

My body is weak, my days consumed….

But Your love is my everything…

May my life bring you glory…

May we live to please and honor the goodness you are injecting all around our

hearts and days…

You have plans to give us hope… You are drawing love and goodness into our little

worlds, and may that be enough to keep our hearts strong and 

our light bright :)

Thank you for so much sweetness…

I trust you…

And I love you,

In Jesus Name,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to

those called according to His purpose.”

Romans 8:28

 

 

 

Chosen and Appointed… #Hopeoverflowing

When you see your life as chosen, loved, and completely filled with God’s sweet purpose, it’s a different perspective all together…

“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 you…”

John 15:16

Whenever I read those words I am stopped in my tracks… It’s amazing to me that my life is completely in His hands…

You were chosen to make a difference right where you are…

To lay aside our worries and fears and let His love burst through our lives for all His Glory and all His ways…

The Bible says He will give you what you ask… Seek His love… His heart… His truth… and joy… If you ask for these things, you can be sure God will fill your heart to overflowing..

As you fill your heart with hope, and joy, and truth, others will see God’s goodness flowing from HIS heart to theirs…

We were chosen to love the hurting…. to give grace to the broken.

Don’t let the burdens of life weigh you down…

Keep your focus on loving others…

This is the answer to all the questions…

Love others as God has loved you :)

It makes life simple when you live as chosen… as loved, and for His purpose.

Love on, Dear one, Love on!

Live in Love,

Lisa
