Miracles Apr.7

                 Miracles do not always happen ‘right now’. They often move over periods of your time---step by step---reaching for Jehovah’s holy conclusion. This example shows the constant perfection and consistency of the Father to work all things simple or complicated. Our minds are not large enough to see all, but Jehovah continues to make a moral universe that does what is right; it’s just that staggered human decisions chip away at God’s timetable. A mystery remains: He allows this.  But He still gives us a value intelligence, when we look to know what is right. And if we prayerfully ask, He protects us through His Son Jesus.

 

                 Prayer: Lord, I do trust that you work all things for your right purpose which includes us.

Genuine Love Apr.6

                 Trust…. Heavenly Father loves you completely….Still, when you experience emotional pain, like anger, it boils within you. It is a reaction. The Father’s Love-light fights against any darkness in you. What you may think is God’s wrath is His love showing you the weakness of sin. Your anger promotes hostile fear. It comes from missing the point. It comes from expecting the wrong things from God, like punishment. Jesus already paid for any anger you’re feeling. Divine love remains, no matter what!. Remember, divine love has an extra healing energy.

                 Prayer: Lord, thank you and help me recognize your calming love and care.

 

Power Apr.4

           Believe the fact…You have all the power you need. Remember, the actual scripture words of the heavenly Father have power to carry out what they say by putting into action what is said. The words are not just for information, although that happens. They are given for us to absorb and embrace emotionally, taking them into our lives so that the words start to read us! Watch what the Father has already achieved. Our job is to pay attention and plug-into what has already taken place in the Kingdom around us and then grow personally as new issues evolve. Let the kingdom of God ideas intermingle with your personal little kingdoms. God gives permission for you to rule over certain things.

 

           Prayer: Lord, help me understand the power of your words and discover any application to my life.

 

Forgiveness Apr.3

 

           Remember, that as a follower of Christ, you continually practice forgiving by actually living it. The life-action means you must concentrate on as much mercy as you do justice. This may mean you become more aware and practice more mercy, even to yourself. When depressed and allowing deep depression, you engage in too much judging of self and others. The judging feeling leads to despair. Despair promotes a hidden pride-attitude which blocks the opportunity for any forgiveness. Accept more faith in the One who unerringly delivers enough faith and forgiveness, at the same time!

           Prayer: Lord, help me today to see the bright side of your kingdom, moving along with events that drag us down.

True Listening Apr.2

 

Listening to another does not mean consent to all said. True listening means to wait and hear, and sometimes it’s a verbal machine gun of words, to give your presence the best you can.

Focus all your senses, then….

~Listen without correcting.

~Listen for another’s pain.

~Listen without envy.

~Listen without predicting.

~Listen without mental argument.       

 

Practice NOT wanting to have the last word. Truly hear another’s concerned story.

Prayer: Lord, help me listen to you first then shut off self-talk for longer periods and listen fully to others.

 

Generous Behavior Apr.1

           Heavenly Father encourages a generous heart---generous with spirit, generous in attitude, generous with thought, generous with time or money. Stop, think and consider. Design all your resources around the economy of giving because sharing is the avenue for Jesus followers along the Jesus Way. Generosity feeds the spark for the  light of God’s love. His light declares the light of wisdom. His wisdom lives in charity.

           Prayer: Lord, help me be generous, not only with money but with my time, any talent, and all I can give.

 

 

Death Mar.31

       Death is an invader. It can strike like lightning or be as slow as running oil. The way stays unpredictable. Death wants to suggest a painful reminder of your mortality. But Jesus knows the pain with you and has overcome it. We are strugglers together in the time of any particular uprooting surprise. Yet, after the frightful darkness, a healing light will break through. This will be a reminder that heavenly Father has overcome the Intruder. Heavenly Father stays merciful; on that you can depend. His light continually remains to slay the darkness because his love just makes a doorway from one light to another.

       Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving us beauty and life to     remind us you have overcome death.
