You are valued, loved and important!

 Hi friends, it's too easy to be  defined by the circumstances of life. I am writing today to tell you   Regardless of your  circumstance past or present  you are a treasure  in the arms of Christ! The world may tell you you're worthless, but God says you're worth it  !  He was thinking of you when he  died on the cross .  You might say that was 2000 years ago is his love still available ? Absolutely, yes he is ready and waiting  for you .  Remember, you are loved   Valued and important. The Lord formed   You're in most being!  He cares  for you, he is a faithful friend that sticks closer than a brother. 

 God love you, I love you and you are formed for his use!

The power of gratitude!

 Hi friends ,
 It's  not always easy to smile in the middle of your darkest days , but  gratitude  is essential to getting tbrough  life's challenges! What do you think  Paul was talking about in  romans when he wrote: 3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.  Romans 5:3–5 

 It seems every day God  sends  us   Little reminders to  be grateful  for what we have  and for his love.  For example,  I learned  of a young lady with disabilities more severe than mine who doesn't have the resources for a needed new wheelchair .  Gratitude is a choice not a luxury for The good times! No, I am not saying that we have to be happy/joyful all the time but we are  responsible for our own  happiness . Every day you know you have the choice either to be  grateful for what you have or be absolutely miserable  The choice is yours… choose wisely. Every life is Formed For His Use.

Finding God's sovereignty In Suffering!

 Hi  Friends,
 I have  Pondered  The  question of healing for very long time.   I have come to realize that God allows  some  suffering to help us grow in our relationship with him... Take  The apostle Paul for example,   He had his site taken away for several days,then  God  restored it! I think a lot of us including  myself, forget  that Saul  was Paul's name before he had this  conversion experience… He persecuted   Much of the early church .  My point in saying this is that God's power is made perfect in weakness ,  Paul writes" And he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, because the power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore rather I will boast most gladly in my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may reside in me. 10 Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in calamities, in persecutions and difficulties for the sake of Christ, for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9–10

 You  might  be thinking  how does this apply to my life?  Or maybe you have prayed for healing and don't understand why it  hasn't happened. I get that , I have been there too... I digress , I can't explain why   God allows  suffering, but as I heard it said"  sometimes God allows what he hates to  accomplish what he loves." What kind of things does  God want to accomplish  in your circumstance? I believe He  wants us  to see our circumstances as opportunities rather then  another weight to carry.  I hope this can encourage you today!
