We are never alone…no way, nohow, nowhere! In travels and in rest…He sees, He knows and He cares.

God’s Word teaches us His ways, His heart, His will, filling our minds with knowledge. Wisdom puts it into action.

God’s strategies work MIRACULOUS WONDERS! Doing good overcomes evil, and love turns enemies into friends!

Though the difficult process of transformation God takes us out of our cocoons to a place of richer character, truer beauty and greater hope!

From the day we follow the Lord, He gives our lives purpose and meaning as we lovingly reach out to those who are floundering as we once were.

Wherever our troubles may find us, God’s continuous deliverance is sure to rescue and protect us…again and again.

We are never so rich as when we give away what we ourselves need most of all.

From our perspective, outer beauty fades as we grow older, but for a woman who fears the Lord, inner beauty flourishes more with each passing year. It flows from her heart and illuminates her face!

Just a note about this picture: Most of the graphics I use are stock. However, this one is of my dear mother-in-law… more commonly referred to as my mother-in-love. Can’t you just see the love in her eyes and the glow on her face!?!!

Under His wings we find our sanctuary of safety, and in His loving arms we find peace and comfort…even during a prayerful meltdown!

We can pray BIG prayers to our GIANT GOD who calls impossibilities “opportunities for miracles!”

Anyone who seeks the Lord will find Him…yes, anyone! All who call on Him are welcome…yes, all!

Isn’t it wonderful to know that when we stay connected to the Lord, He makes our lives fruitful!!?!

Today’s encouraging thought… The LORD sustains us and keeps us from falling flat on our faces…in so many ways! 🙂

Good morning, my dear blog-friends. Today’s encouraging thought is particularly special to me because I love knowing that HE goes before us, is with us, and stays behind us….guiding our every step and protecting us from more than we will ever know in this life. He opens doors and He closes them…always on our behalf…because HE alone knows the better way, and HE is on it, leading us by His righteous right hand. Don’t you just LOVE that!?!!!!!

The Lord IS our righteousness and the One to be praised before the nations…may His glory spring forth today through each of us!

Praise be to God, our Mighty Rock, for giving us salvation, honor and refuge beyond our sight or understanding.‬

Once we drink the Living Water the LORD offers, we will never thirst again.

When we remember the miry pit the LORD has drawn us from, we also see that He has raised us up and crowned us as His heirs and ambassadors to pass on His love and compassion to a world in need. What love, what purpose, what joy!

Isn’t it so wonderful to know that no matter how bleak things may seem, we have all the power and victory of heaven on our side!?!! He is able!

We cannot fathom the greatness of God’s love anymore than we can know how high the heavens are. And even then, His giant love for us is greater than that!

God is always greater than all of our troubles, there is nothing mightier than HE!

God faithfully loves and provides for His children, whether young or old…He will see us through to the very end and beyond!

Wherever we are on the face of the earth, the Lord calls us to follow His lead, and He never rejects us… Never!

His grace and mercy in our hearts removes all shame and brings a radiant glow to our faces that reflects true love, joy and peace.

As His dear children, He gives us our very breath and life, motivation and inspiration! He is our all in all… Even the poets know it!

Our LORD’s heart is compassionate toward us through every trial, difficulty and challenge. He sees and comforts us as only He can do.

The LORD is for us, not against us…He came to shower us with comapassion, grace, patience and boundless love!

…for the 1,000 “Likes!” YOU are ‘my’ encouraging thought today! 👍🏻😊💕

When we realize how much Jesus loves us, we will set our love upon Him… and in that we find safety and fullness of joy!

There is no greater joy than to follow the path God has for us and to know He is with us every step of the way!

The same Hand that rescued and redeemed us continually refreshes our souls and guides us on paths of righteousness.

All our sins have been completely punished in the body of Christ who was condemned for us.

Sometimes the only safe refuge is under His feathers; crawl under and see just how good the LORD is, and be blessed!

No matter how deep the pain, test or trial, our Lord hears and answers our every cry for help.

God’s resources are limitless! No matter how much we give, He can give us much more than that… :)‬

We are all and each our Heavenly Father’s favorite; He often protects and blesses us personally in ways we cannot see!

Happy Independence Day!
We are SO blessed to live in The Land of the Free because of the BRAVE! Thank YOU LORD!

People may not remember everything we say, but they will remember how we made them feel…. Let’s make them feel loved.

As the Holy Spirit pours God’s love into us we can hold on to hope in every situation…we won’t be disappointed!

We we have nothing to fear as we trust the God of so great a salvation!

Just like the fields, trees and all of creation, we too shine forth His glory when we praise our Maker. 🙂

You are my strength when I am weak, You are the treasure that I seek, You are my all in all… (Song lyrics from All in All by Dennis Jernigan).

His presence is as sure as light, His Name and righteousness are ours to celebrate! How blessed are we!?!!

When we lift up the One who is worthy of all our praise, somehow, someway, HE lifts US! 🙂

He is our reason to rejoice in and out of heartache as His love penetrates our very soul!

The Lord sees you hoping and praying, and He hears you! Just wait, just watch…you’ll see!

It is far better to trust in a sure thing, and there is nothing more sure and trustworthy than the Lord eternal!

The Lord knows exactly how and when to bless His children, and it is always worth the wait.

The Lord treasures our prayers so much that He keeps them in pretty bowls.

The LORD is the Founder of everything, including us… Yes, YOU were God’s idea!

God’s love, grace and mercy are all wrapped up in Jesus…His 3-in-1 perfect gift to us for now and all eternity!

When we accept Him, He fully accepts us and welcomes us into His family! Forever amazing!

Some say that seeing is believing…but for the Christian, believing is seeing! 🙂

Don’t miss the point…

Summer is the perfect time to slow down and not only find rest for our bodies, but also find rest for our weary souls.

God provides so many good gifts for us to enjoy…precious possessions, our position in life and even the ability to work!

As painting speaks of the skill of its artist, the heavens declare and proclaim the glory of our Masterful Creator!

We may hit a wall from time-to-time, but by His strentgh we’ll keep dancing!!

THIS is love…He loved us first, He proved it…enough said!

All we need to do is listen and the Great Shepherd does the rest… He loves, nurtures and protects all who follow Him.

As sure as the sun will rise, we can trust the Lord for fresh portions of His unfailing love, faithfulness and direction every day!

All the messiness of life falls into place when the Lord is the deepest desire of our hearts.

He opened the very gates of heaven for us through His Son Jesus Christ and He is worthy of all our thanks and praise!

From the top of our heads to the tips of our toes, LIFE is a miracle… Praise God for the gift of YOU!

He protects us, shines His glory through us and lifts our heads high… He does it all!

He strengthens our very core with the richness of His power from a well that never runs dry.

Though we mourn their loss, we can also celebrate all those who have given their lives for our freedom. May we ever be grateful!

Our Heavenly Father never sends us to voicemail because He has so many wonderful things He wants to tell us!

Knowing Jesus now is amazing enough, and yet, how incredible it will be to see Him face to face!

God’s love for us is measureless and powerful! May our roots grow deep and may His love blossom for all to enjoy!

The Spirit of the Lord gives us freedom to break out of the mold and become the unique masterpiece He created us to be!

We wear ourselves out when we try to bear our burdens alone… But once we take them to God, He is ever faithful to carry our burdens and give us rest.

What a joy it is to freely sacrifice the offering of praise to the very Lover of our souls!

He makes His sanctuary in our feeble hearts; His power is available to all who look to Him… As for His glory, it is ever-more-amazing with each passing day!

Since our Savior sat down, those who trust in His finished work can also find rest and peace at His right hand of grace, mercy and love.

Acknowledge Him, show mercy to others in the Old Testament, love Him, love others in the New. Our God is always the same!

Other wells in this life run dry, but we can quench our every thirst at the eternal Well of Living Water.
