Fantastic Friday

This week has been mostly on standing through trials alone. We aren't really alone...God has always been here and He always will. His Spirit goes with us each and every day. When you feel like you don't have a friend in the world to talk to, take it to Jesus. He will Listen. God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die for our sins. Not only did He send us His Son, His only begotten" Son....whom He loved very much. That alone should give us strength to keep going. When worldly friends fail, when church friends seem to be nowhere around, when family fails...Jesus is your friend. He wants to keep you safe and will always be there. Standing on His Word is what gives us our Identity in Christ, making decisions when it seems like we are the only one doing right. When friends tell us we are too uptight and need to be more worldy in order to fit in....Take it to Jesus. God knows what we can handle.

I found this poem that kind of sums up this week's topic: A Balanced Life

My life has been balanced with pleasures and trials, I've had many teardrops and thousands of smiles.

I've soared to the moon and I've plunged to the sand, My life has been balanced by God's loving hand.

I've had many friendships I've had a few foes, In the life of a Christian that's the way that it goes.

Should I just accept only good from God's hands? No, I must endure whatever He plans.

But I can be sure and you can be, too, All things work for best as God deals with you.

Lord, help me to remember, no matter what happens, that You are working everything for my good. In Jesus' Sweet Name, Amen.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Terrific Tuesday

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

Thoughtful Thursday

If God Be For Us 31 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies; 34 who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us?[e] 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, “For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from...
