Give it all to Jesus!😊

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,

and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and

learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is

easy and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30

Your dreams are worth fighting for!

It doesn't matter if everything is not perfect or nothing seems perfect, right now and then, you can start right away to move forward towards that future you have pictured in your heart to follow. No one can stop you but you. God has already sown that seed in your heart - to thrive, and to follow through. Tap into it, and you will discover how capable and talented you are. The enemy has been defeated. Now, let heaven invade your dreams. Don't stay down. Get back up and GO. Trust the Dream Giver! With Him on your side, it's going be amazing!! Trials, hurdles may be present, but those are nothing once you get there. Be open to Him and to the things that He wants you to learn. Cling to Him, and He will guide you along the best pathway for your life. You are worth it.

Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
Isaiah 41:10 (NLT)

So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:11 (NIV)

The Lord Almighty has sworn, Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen.
Isaiah 14:24 (NIV)

Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord’s renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever."

Isaiah 55:6-13 NIV

Sing to the Lord a new song

Sing to the Lord a new song for He has done marvellous things; His right hand and His holy arm have worked salvation for Him. The Lord has made His salvation known and revealed His righteousness to the nations. He has remembered His love and His faithfulness to Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn— shout for joy before the Lord, the King. Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; let them sing before the Lord, for He comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity. Psalm 98:1-9

I Am For You- Jesus

Keep loving.

Endurance has been worn by the hearts of those who are willing to step out and serve more for the best of others and for the glory of God. It's a generous spirit that is willing to love and care for others because you know that God is there and He will take care of you in return. It's God's delight to bless us, and Jesus has been given to us, the blessing of all blessings. Jesus, the Greatest Blessing has endured to the end because He's for you. He knows that there's going to be pain. Jesus knows he is going to suffer. He has lashes. He has been bruised but He endures; all because He's for you. Jesus loves you.
He wants us to love each other just as He has loved us. The Bible is telling us that without love we are nothing. According to 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, if I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Do you like a life without love, with less love or a life so filled with love? There is no fear in love. Love drives away fears. Love completes us in Jesus. It helps us to endure up to the end. Wouldn't it be nice if we love each other? 1 John 4:7-8 in the Scripture says, dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Loving others and being loved by others are beautiful gifts from God. Don't let fear stop you to give away your love. It may be the only thing that those who around you need the most, and you are more capable to love. So go on, give it away and be a blessing to them. The Greatest Blessing is in you. He's for you. As you do what He has told you, you'll be blessed even more.

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 1 John 4:11-12 (NIV)

How Will They Know

If no one will tell, share...

God's Love: "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (JOHN 3:16).

God's Plan: "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent" (JOHN 17:3).

People are sinful: "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (ROMANS 3:23).

People are separated: "The wages of sin is death" (spiritual separation from God) (ROMANS 6:23).

He died in our place: "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (ROMANS 5:8)

He rose from the dead: "Christ died for our sins... He was buried... He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures... He was seen by Cephas then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once..." (1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-6).

He is the only way to God: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me' " (JOHN 14:6).

We must receive Christ: "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name" (JOHN 1:12)

We receive Christ through faith: "By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast" (EPHESIANS 2:8-9)

When we receive Christ, we experience a new birth: Nicodemus "came to Jesus by night and said to Him, 'Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.' Jesus answered and said to him, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.' Nicodemus said to Him, 'How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?' Jesus answered, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, "You must be born again." The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit' " (JOHN 3:2-8).

We receive Christ by personal invitation: (Christ speaking) "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him" (REVELATION 3:20).

You Can Receive Christ Right Now by Faith Through Prayer

The following is a suggested prayer:

Lord Jesus, I want to know you more. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open my heart and receive you as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for the forgiveness of my sins and for giving me eternal life. Have your way in my life. Teach me and guide me. Make me the kind of person you want me to be.

In The Package of Joy

It's hard to smile when life IS seems overwhelmed with problems and difficulties;, but the Bible is encouraging us to REJOICE even in the midst of impossibilities. At times, looking at your circumstance you may scream, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!! BUT, The Lord of the Bible will say back to you: NOT FOR ME........

You may be facing a problem today; JUST HOLD ON. BE PATIENT. YOU MAY CRY ALONG THE WAY, THAT'S OK.

IF YOU LAUGH AND SMILE, THAT'S MORE THAN OK. James 1:2-4 of the Bible says, consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

CONTINUE TO PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD.

AT THE END OF THE STORM, HE IS ABLE TO DELIVER YOU A SUNSHINE. He is able to do immeasurably MORE than all you ask or imagine.

BE ENCOURAGED!

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. James 1:12 (NIV)
