Giving glory to You my God and my King…

‘Give honor to the Lord for the glory of His name.

Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness.”

Psalm 29:2

Drawing near in your courts…Oh Lord,

I lay my head on your lap. .I I feel the weight of Your arms around my back…

My heart feels still… My thoughts at peace…

The warmth of Your embrace, and the goodness of Your touch..

I love You, Father,

You fill my world with gladness, and take away all of my sadness…

Thank You for easing my heart…

In Jesus Name,

Amen

Live in Love,

“The Lord rules over the flood waters, the Lord gives His people strength.

The Lord blesses them with peace…”

Psalm 29:10-11

Listening to another’s heavy heart…

Whispering words of hope…

Living each day on purpose, and for a purpose…

Planting, watering… nurturing and encouraging…

All for God’s glory…

All from God’s hand of grace…

“The one who plants and the one who waters work together as a team with the same purpose.

Yet they will be rewarded individually, according to their own work.  

We work together as partners who belong to God..

You are God’s field, God’s building…”

1 Corinthians 3:8

You matter…

Your days matter.

Your words of kindness.  Your gentle touch of hope…

God is uses our every day life to enrich the fields, and He is right beside us showering  His love and  mercy wherever we sow…

Love the ones your with…

Work humbly to plant, and water His seeds of love…

His love changes us…

His love frees hearts…  His love  will make those seeds grow,  and we will stand in awe of His amazing grace…

“The ones who do the planting or watering aren’t important, but God is important because He is the one who makes the seed grow…”

1 Corinthians 3:7

Live in Love,

“Can’t knock the hustle”  :)

There is so much freedom in giving your heart a break…

There is so much freedom when I pray for peace… for grace abundant.

For God’s love to surround and encompass my heart and my day…

Sometimes I can fall into the temptation of “micromanaging” my prayer life..

To feel like I have to list, or hash out everything I am thinking about or worried about… It’s like I am literally pushing the joy of who I am in Christ right out of my heart…

Remembering that I am loved, secure and saved by grace alone gives me the freedom to pray for grace abundant over all my worries… over all my family members, worries or fears…

It is by grace that God captured my heart..

Not fear, or condemnation…

It is by grace that God draws each of us into His glorious courts…

So, today I am going to give my heart a break and let God’s grace have its way in; and around my heart, and my day..

Praying God’s grace in Your day too…

May you remember where He found you..

And all that He has done to restore your soul…

His love never changes…

His love is faithful…

He is working on all those hearts of your loved ones…

Trust In Him :)

“But I trust in Your unfailing love.

I will rejoice because You have rescued me.

I will sing to the Lord because He has been so good to me.”

Psalm 13:5

Live in Love,

Lisa

Walking in faith.

Seeking God’s Holy truth.

Not turning back, but trusting the process…

Learning and growing… Trusting and moving forward.

This is exactly where we are supposed to be.

“….For You look deep within the mind and heart, O righteous God.

God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right.”

Psalm 7:9-10

Oh Lord, I come before Your throne of goodness and grace, fully aware of Your kindness and strength…

Today, as I look over my days, how thankful I am for Your protection and grace…

When I feel my heart tossing and turning…

When I can’t understand, and the circumstances are spinning…

I will give You my heart and my hope….

I will let You have Your way in me, and I will trust You are working in a way I can’t see…

..You have truly become my shield and strength.

My truth and light…

I will trust in Your goodness… I will walk in Your peace…

I will keep fighting the good fight…

I will be a rebel for all that is good.. A rebel of hope…

And all that is kind…

How I thank You for Awesome love, Great protection, and Righteous Right Hand that carries me…

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

“O Lord, our Lord, the majesty of Your name fills the earth!”

Psalm 8:9

“The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to get angry, full of unfailing love..

The Lord is good to everyone, He showers compassion on all His creation.”

Psalm 145:8-9

How beautiful You are, Dear Heavenly Father,

The words of Your heart pierce the layers of my soul…

beckoning… drawing me… calling me near…

Your compassion fills me with hope, and sets my heart on fire!

Oh Lord, from my heart, I pray these words back to You…

May my life be pleasing unto You, my God and my King…

“Lord, my heart is not proud, my eyes are not haughty.

I don’t concern myself with matters too great for me.

But I have stilled and quieted myself, just as a small child is quiet with its other.

Yes, like a small child is my soul within me.

Oh Israel, put your hope in the Lord – now and always…”

Psalm 131:1-3

Father I put my hope in You.

May Your love be my guide…

May Your goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life…

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Love God.

Love others…

Make it beautiful :)

Live in Love,

Lisa

” And anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

I know the Lord is always with me.  I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me.

No wonder my heart is filled with joy, and my mouth shouts His praises!

My body rests in hope…. You have shown me the way of life, and You give me wonderful joy in Your presence…”

Joel 21:28

How wonderful are Your promises, Oh Lord,

How beautiful is Your name…

I will not be shaken for You are right beside me…

My heart overflows with the joy of Your love, and my body rests in the arms of Your embrace.

You are the way, the truth and the life……

Thank You for the wonderful joy You have given my heart…The joy of being in Your presence, and peace…

Thank You for the miracle of salvation and the gift of purpose..

I am Your’s. Oh Lord.

I am Your’s…

I love You,

In Jesus Name,

Amen

Live in Love,

May your light of hope, purpose ,and love shine bright, Dear Friend :)

Day by day… Minute by minute…

Shifting my focus…

Staying out of our heads, and engulfed by Your truths…

Oh Father, lead my heart into Your presence…

May all my worries and fears fall far behind, as I learn to walk forward in truth, and stay in Your light….

Keep my thoughts about You…

Keep the music of Your love surrounding my life.

Turn my ears toward Your voice of hope..

Oh Lord,

Teach my Your ways.

“My sheep recognize my voice; I know them, and they follow me.  I give them eternal life, and they will never perish.  No one will snatch them away from me, for my Father has given them to me, and He is more powerful than anyone else.  So no one can take them from me.  The Father and I are one.”

John 10:27-30

To not stay focused on me… But to stay focused on You.

That is our true calling…

Give me ears to hear, and eyes to see that it’s about You…

Not about me…

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

Stay out of your head, Dear Friend, and focus on Him…

Today.  Write and memorized one scripture…

Replace any thought of worry or fear with His words of Truth…

Do not let Your thoughts control You…

Control Your thoughts with memorizing scripture over them…

Trust God in this…

It is the path to freedom!

Listen to His voice… It is the sound of hope.  Love.  And Truth…

Do the days seem to never end?

Do you find yourself thinking, “How did I get here..?”

Oh Dear Friend,

You are so loved…

God has reached down from heaven, chosen You.  Covered you.  Cleansed you from who you were..

Let His love break through…

“Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine. 

When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you; when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. 

For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..”

Isaiah 40: 28-31

God’s plan for your life is bigger and more powerful than your mess ups, struggles and fears…

Put your life in His Almighty hands…

Submit to who He is..

Dear Heavenly Father, I know I have messed up.  My heart aches with pain for those who I have hurt.  I know I have not been living the way that Your love would have me too..

Please forgive me my sin.  Come into my heart and life…

I need You more than ever.

I lay my heart at Your feet.

Please, Oh Lord, shine on me..

Thank You for washing me clean… Please lead me in the way I should go.

I want to be better than this.

I trust in You, and You alone..

In Jesus name, I pray,

Amen…

Live in Love,

Lisa

Keep Moving forward.  Soaking in His goodness.

Truly letting God’s kindness and favor penetrate your mind and flow through your soul.

Turning from what was.

Looking straight ahead to what will be.

“For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to proper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future..”

God is for You.  Who can be against us…
