Survive it in hope

 Have you ever had a pain, that just won’t leave?   Jeremiah 17:7 “But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him.  8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.  It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green.  It has no worries in a year of draught and never fails to bear fruit.”  …..17:14. “ Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are The One I praise.”       These verses help me in deep pain.  Many things in life, I cant understand and can’t control.   When I TRUST God in it all, I  survive in hope.   

The Lord never forgets us

 Isaiah 49:15 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?  Though she may forget, I will not forget you!  16 See I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.” 

Our Lord never forgets us!!  God knows each and every one of us. There are about 8.3 billion people on this earth and God knows each of us intimately!!   This is mind blowing!!! I can’t even  in billions.  As parents when our children are hurting we are hurting.   Know today, God loves your child even more than you do!!  He will not forget them.  They are engraved on the palms of His hands and so are you!!!  Live in His perfect peace today trusting this is true.”

Don’t wear yourself out for riches

 Proverbs 23:4 “Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have wisdom and show restraint.  5 Cast a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.”🦅.   What do you wear yourself out for?   “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33).    I have chased many things that are not God’s will for me.     When I do and get those things, it often leaves me emptier than before.    Only God can truly fill us to the full.  Let’s be drinking His living water today and always!! Let Jesus fill the emptiness within, and you will never thirst again even in a draught.

Leave the old pursue the new

 Ephesians 4:22 “You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted  by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”  Put off the old and put on the new!!! If I want to change my old ways I have to replace those ways with something better.   We all have 24 hours in a day.  If we stop a bad behavior that has consumed us we have to fill that time with a new edifying behavior or the  void we leave will be filled with an all consuming desire for the bad thing  that is destroying us.    Today, to be healthy and well.  Replace the old with the new and stay with the new!!

Call upon His name and upu will be saved

 Romans 10:13 “ for, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”  Call on His name!    My simple one word prayer is, “Jesus”.     I call on His name and rest there.  It helps me.   I know it will help you too.😇🙏❤️

True intimacy

 Ephesians 5:33 “However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.”  Men adoring thier wives and wives respecting thier husbands is the great aphrodisiac.   Some people, loose intimacy as their marriage goes on.   Intimacy is a HUGE part of marriage!   As we age  or just get over busy with things like screen time. We can loose our connection with each other.   The people we love the most, we stop nurturing.  If you are blessed and have a spouse, never forget, the two of you are one flesh.      Would you intentionally injure yourself?    Yet, many times we intentionally pick at, the ones we love.  Stop!   You are one flesh!! A three fold cord, husband, wife and Jesus.     This is your unshakable inner core.   Not even your children or grandchildren should be in that circle.  Husbands, cherish your wives.   Wives respect your husbands.   This is possible if Jesus is your foundation.   😇🙏❤️.  He is the motivation that keeps our intimacy alive!!   

True beauty

 1Peter3:3 “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.  4 Instead, it should be of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great work in God’s sight.”

True beauty lies within.   Both in women and men.   Increase your attractiveness by increasing the unfading beauty of a gentle and  quiet spirit.  This is made possible by the powerful gift of Jesus!

Men this is not only for women.
