1 Corinthians 13:13 New International Version (NIV)
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
When I wake up in the morning, I am glad to see a new day. I know that I have another chance to live and love my life. There will be times when we must purpose fun in our lives. We go about busy in life and at the end of the day, life is short. We miss out on fun and the true love of God at times. We can get overwhelmed with things that don't really matter. Let us live in the plan God has for our lives.
Jeremiah 29:11-13 New International Version (NIV)
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will callon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
HAPPY MONDAY ~
SEEK THE LORD
Matthew 7:7-8 New International Version (NIV)
Ask, Seek, Knock
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
As a new day begins, put scripture within your heart and mind. God has a plan for each of our lives. Sometimes that plan doesn't make sense to us and we learn to trust the Lord through it all. I can look back and see how God helped in times I felt overwhelmed. I can not always see the why of things, but I certainly have learned to trust the Lord daily. There is something about quoting scriptures that brings us hope. Just knowing that God changes a life and that changes reactions.
One of my key sentences of life is this:
I will purpose this a good day.
Life is so short and we can make plans but things suddenly change. In that suddenly part of life, let us hold tight to God's plan of faith, hope and love. Living in kindness just brings a better day. I don't know what you face today, but God does. I pray daily for the readers of my blog, your family and friends. Nothing is too big for God and he will guide our thoughts if we let him. God will open new doors of hope and continue to bless your life. There are seasons of change and in that change comes new beginnings.
Psalm 23:6 New International Version (NIV)Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
God, I thank you for each person who reads this. I ask that you help them in their now of life and rest in knowing you are right with them. Some of them face hard things and barely holding on for help. Send people into their paths of life that will bring encouragement and blessings to them. Each of us need others in our lives and we thank you for connecting us by this blog too. Help those who need a miracle of health. Somethings that happen are so unfair, but thorough it all you can help. I only know to rest in you God and ask, seek and knock. In all of that, I have seen you do miracles. Help those who need a financial blessing as well. Life is hard when there isn't enough money. I thank you God for meeting people right where they are in life and changing the things that need to change. AMEN
