Believe! … #Hopeoverflowing

Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed.  Blessed are those who believe without seeing…”

John 20:29

Believe!

Sometimes, we just need to get out of our heads…

We need to stop… And turn our eyes toward heaven :)

Don’t let the voices of stress, negativity, and perfectionism quietly still your magic!

Open the door to hope, love and never failing mercies.

Believe in the miracle of Christmas…

The angel appeared to Mary and said, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.  You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call Him Jesus.  He will be great and called the son of the most high”

Luke 1:28

An Angel appeared before Mary!  How beautiful, and astonishing! and amazing!

Jesus, in his amazing, holy, and perfect way, let us know, he knew, how hard it would be to believe something without seeing it…

Believe and receive the gift of grace!

Gods grace.  It frees your soul, fills your heart, and releases your days from shame, guilt and fear…

Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord.”

2 Peter 1:2

Believe in the magic of being chosen, loved, and adored… Nothing can separate you from the Love of your Father…

I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you.  I said you are my servant,’ I have chosen you and not rejected you.”

Isaiah 41:9

He gave His live to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds”

Titus 2:14

 

You are chosen.  You are loved.  You are enough!

Father,

Thank you!  Thank you a million times a million, and so much more…

Your love has touched my soul and redeemed my life…

Your love gives me room to breath, and be, and live and move.

Today.  May I drink deep the truth of your goodness that has freed me from darkness and fear…

Today I stand in awe of your mercy and grace… Your love and healing…

Thank you for reminding me that perfectionism,  negativity, and stress have no place in this heart of mine…

You came that we would live free…

…And…

Freedom is magic!

How I praise your holy name…

May we take a minute today, to shout or whisper,  the beautiful words Mary said to the angel Gabriel.

I am the Lord’s servant, “Mary answered.  “May your word to me be fulfilled.”

Luke 1;38

I Believe in the Magic of Christmas…

I Believe in YOU… :)

I love you Jesus,

In your name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

Christmas Is Love… #Hopeoverflowing

Christmas is love…

“It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you.”

-Mother Teresa

Enjoying the season means flowing with the tide… lol

But it doesn’t mean we have to rush or stress…

Love the weary, hold that closing door open for another, surprise someone with a yummy coffee… Send good vibes to that sweet soul with a crying child in tow, or take a minute to breath, and get yourself a yummy coffee :)

Slow your roll… Christmas will be gone before we know it… Make love count :)

Live in Love,

Believe In the Miracle of Christmas… #Hopeoverflowing

It is Christmas every time you let God love

others  through you.”

-Mother Teresa 

I Believe in the miracle of Christmas…

I Believe in the miracle of love…

I Believe in the miracle of hope…

I Believe in the miracle of Jesus.

 

Tis the season to be jolly, right? lol

Christmas should slow our roll, and draw us near to the love of God…

Yet, most of the time, it just doesn’t…

We can be filled with anxiety, and stress and sadness…

Our souls sense the symphony of Christmas … of magic, and hope, of peace, and beauty….  yet,  in an instant, our thoughts can be hijacked, and cause our hearts all kinds of crazy…

When that happens, how I pray, we would turn our eyes to Jesus….

Let His Spirit abiding in you; draw you to what is true.

What is true is this…

God chose you to be a vessel of His love and hope…

Before you were born, I set you apart.”

Jeremiah 1:5

He has placed all of His secrets of love and truth in His word, and in our hearts…

“In the beginning God created the heaves and the earth.  The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep.  And the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.”  

Genesis 1:1-2

This world is temporary…

“For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.

Now I know in part; then I shall know full, even as I am fully known.”

1 Corinthians 13:12

People need light and hope…

God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.”

1 John 1:5

Jesus is hope.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

John 3:16-17

His love is unconditional and forever.

Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies…”

Psalm 36: 5-7

During this Christmas season, may we keep His song of mercy flowing around your soul, and let God’s love sing a beautiful tune in and around your days…

Love others… touch them with grace…

Don’t underestimate how powerful your smile, and kindness can be…

Let our moments be filled with drawing others into the beauty of His presence…

May we be reminded of our journey and salvation… The place where Jesus picked us up, dusted us off and held us tightly…

Let us remember the gentleness of his love, and the power of His grace…

May the miracle of Christmas fill your heart with joy…

I love you guys!

In Jesus Name…

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

 

Think In Magic… #Hopeoverflowing

The more I raise my hands to the heavens; the more I humble my heart, the more my faith is stirred; and my hope ignited.

That is where you, Oh God, set me free…

So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and in His good time

He will honor you, Give all of your worries and cares to God

for He cares about what happens to you…”

1Peter 5:6

God Cares.

He honors you.

Give Him all of your worries.

Give Him all of your heart….

God deeply cares about you, and all that happens to you…

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the beauty of your love.

Thank you for the beauty of your light…

I come before you, laying my worries and fears at your feet…

Each one alone too heavy to carry…

How I praise you for setting my heart free….

My soul is deeply nourished and soothed by your words…

Your goodness touches my heart, and feeds my soul with confidence and hope.

You. And You. Alone.  Keep my head, and my heart soft… hopeful and secure.

I am learning so much more about your glory; and the peace that transcends all understanding, as I intentionally lay my heart and my worries at your feet…

When I’m tempted to pick up my worries, may your grace remind me that you have it… You have it all in the palm of your hand…

I am safe in your presence, and comforted by your hope :)

Your love renown, and hope flowing is my hearts deepest desire…

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.” 

2 Corinthians 4:6

Jesus… You are my everything.

I love you.

In your Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

The Beauty of Being Grounded.. #Hopeoeverflowing

Life is so unpredictable isn’t it ?

Things totally can: and will change on a dime.

Trying to stay in my lane…

Keeping my heart and mind grounded in the light of God’s goodness.

He is love, he is hope, he is kindness, and patience and all things light…

If we stay out of the weeds of darkness and judgment and jealousy… bitterness and worry, comparison and failure…. we immediately feel His softness and light feed our souls …

His love brings me to my knees…

His forgiveness whispers to my heart, and fills me with surrender and love and so much mercy…

His truths keep my grounded in hope, and inspired to be better… to do better :)

When doubts and frustrations tug at my heart, I am learning to immediately run into His arms, hold him tight, and let Him cleanse my heart of any darkness trying to creep into the light of His love…

It really is the only way to light and freedom :)

“… and I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them.

I will take away their hearts of stone and give them tender hearts instead….”

Ezekiel 11:19

Dear Heavenly Father,

How I thank you for your undying hope and loving encouragement…

When the days seem unclear and hope feels distant…  I praise you for your words of love and beauty that shed light over my darkness.

Your comfort sets my heart free, and I am once again walking on solid ground…

I love You, Jesus.

In your name I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

 

God, He’s a Way Maker for Sure… #Hopeoverflowing

Good morning Sunday!

Today I pray for bondage’s to be broken…

May we would enter Your gates with thanksgiving and praise, remembering Your love has no boundaries…

Your love reaches to the heavens surrounding us with hope and favor…

Enter His gates with thanksgiving; Go into His courts with praise.

Give thanks to Him and bless His name.

For the Lord is good.  His unfailing love continues forever.  And

His faithfulness continues to each generation…”

Psalm 100:1-5

May we find peace in His faithful love.

Dear Heavenly Father,

You know the trials surrounding and swirling around our lives; and our hearts…

You know the bondage’s that need to be broken…

The darkness that needs to be destroyed…

Cleanse that darkness, Oh Lord,  and shine YOUR beautiful light of loving kindness in every dark place in my heart, and the hearts of the people I love…

Your love is the ultimate truth, and I come before you believing that our stories aren’t finished yet…

That you are making a way, and cradling us in the mean time…

How beautiful and gracious and lovely is your touch…

I love you Jesus…

In Your Name I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

We Our Only A Moment… #Hopeoverflowing

Life is full of ups and downs… highs and lows…

Anchoring your heart to the God of  HOPE is the first step to freedom and light…

Seek His words of comfort…

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed..”

Psalm 34:18

Focus on the goodness of His truth…

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Isaiah 41:10

Absorb positive energy, do NOT let ANY ;negative talk corrupt your heart and pull you off the path of hope and goodness…

“It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the Most High.  It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning and faithfulness in the evening…”

Psalm 92:1-2

Dear Heavenly Father,

How I praise your Holy name…

I come before you this new day, thanking you for your faithfulness and truth…

Truth can look so different when its not from you… How I praise you for the purity of your love, and the fierceness of  YOUR  faithfulness.

”  This is a true saying.  If we die with him, we will also live with him.  If we endure hardship, we will reign with him.  If we deny him, he will deny us.  If we are unfaithful, He remains faithful.  For he cannot deny himself…”

2 Timothy 2:11-13

He cannot deny himself…

God you are faithful…

I will rest my heart in the palm of your hands…

I Believe in your care… I believe in your goodness that says everything that happens in and around me will be made to something beautiful even if I can’t or don’t see it now…

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

I love you Jesus…

In Your Name,

I pray,

Amen

Dear friend… He cares more about you than you could ever imagine…

He sees your sorrow… He knows our pain. Let him be your great comforter and strength…

We are only for a moment…

Let your moments be full of hope…

I love you!

Live in Love,

Lisa

 

Life is Short… #Hopeoverflowing

Cruelty is always possible…

Savior the sweetness of God’s touch…

He chose His servant David, calling him from the sheep pens.

He took David from tending the ewes and lambs and made him

the Shepard of Jacobs descendants, God’s own people, Israel.

He cared for them with a true heart and led them with skillful hands.”

Psalm 78:70-72

God cares for you with a true heart…

He is always in the good you chose to see.

Some days we need to look deep within our hearts and thank Him for all the ways you know He has touched your life…

The goodness you didn’t deserved…

The mercy that once brought you to your knees…

The gentleness of His touch when cruelty seemed to be all around you.

Celebrating God’s love is always the answer.

If you need to do better…

Then do better…

There is true freedom in letting goodness guide your path…

There is light in letting things be, and loving right where you are…

Share grace even when it doesn’t feel deserved…

Love the hurting…

Seek kindness whenever you can…

Always remember the children, and the grownups, are watching you… and

not so much listening :)

Be who you know you are from the inside out, and those children and grownups  will

see the light of God that burns deep within and they will be drawn to that light, and

touched by the warmth of love… of freedom, of joy and goodness…

Always remembering that nothing is forever, and tomorrow is never promised…

Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone especially to those in the family of faith…”

Galatians 6:10

Fill your heart with all that is good…

And be done with all the rest.

Live in Love,

Lisa
