Healing

HEALING

Divine life flows through me, healing my mind and body.

Within each seed is the perfect imprint of all it can become. Life flows out, mapping its growth into maturity. If a season is too warm or too cold, the leaves of a seedling may curl, but the imprint remains strong. With the proper nutrients, rain and sun, life surges forth into new leaves and blooms and fruit.
I may experience a season of doubt, sadness or physical challenge, but it is only a season. The imprint of perfect Life remains strong within me, ready to flow through me as renewed energy, health and peace. Each day in prayer I open my heart to the healing flow of God's Life in me. I am thankful for the healing seasons in my life.

Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.--Proverbs 4:23

Music

In good times and bad, music has always been a part of life flowing through the laughter as well as the trials. It is a gift from God-a bit of heaven He loans to us while we live on earth to help us survive the hard times, to celebrate the good times, and especially to praise Him in a way no other method can match.

Just as one little pinch of salt can make all the difference in cooking, the light 

of one joyful Christian can radiate the love of Almighty God to the world.

Domino Effect

We know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.   ~Romans 5:3-5

Have you ever seen a long row of dominoes set on end? When the first one is bumped it tumbles into the next and that one hits the next one, until they all fall. These verses are the domino effect in reverse. Suffering hurts, but good can come from it. Suffering makes you develop “stick-to-it-iveness”.

Stop and appreciate the fact that you’re making it through difficulties – you’re getting up each morning and putting one foot in front of the other and doing what you have to do. That builds character and that encourages hope, which reminds us of God’s love. Whatever you’re going through, God walks beside you all the way.

Trust God in the Darkness

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff they comfort me.    ~Psalm 23:4 (NKJV)

Every follower of Jesus faces days where his or her spiritual life seems mediocre and their enthusiasm is dampened by indifference.

If this is you, then you need a fresh experience with God to drive the darkness from your life. No matter how your feelings and emotions change, God’s love for you remains steadfast, strong and secure. He loves you with an everlasting, unceasing love, and, even though you feel far from Him, He is always close to you.

One of the benefits of going through dark times in life is to appreciate the light and sunshine of God’s love when we experience it once again. God is able to use even the darkest experiences on your earthly pilgrimage to the benefit and blessing of others.

Please hold my hand, Lord. I know that You will lead me into the future one step at a time. Amen

A Sure Thing

A Sure Thing

Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Psalm 9:10

Stress is a terrible thing. It can eat away at you until you have no peace, no joy and no ability to see good in anything. It robs you of sleep, health, and enjoyment. It chips away at your relationship with God and your self-image. Yes, stress is a powerful tool that Satan uses to pull God’s people away from Him.

What’s the antidote to stress? It’s right here in this verse… trust. There are very few sure things in this world, but God’s love for His people is a definite sure thing. He can be trusted. He never (did you get that – never) forsakes those who seek Him. So, what’s the antidote to stress? Seek Him!

Today's message from perpetual calendar:

It isn't easy being a mom, but prayer helps-and so does laughter. 

And sometimes it even helps to shed a cleansing tear or two. 

As someone once said, tears are to the soul what soup is to the body. 

Encouragement

A word of encouragement at the right moment may be the turning point for a struggling life.
