Hebrews 7:25   (NIV)  @BIBLEGATEWAY.COM

²⁵ Therefore he is able to save completely^[a] those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

 

 (@Jesus Calling 365 Devotions with Real-Life Stories @Sarah Young)

 “Welcome Problems as Perspective-lifters.”

2 Corinthians 4:16-18  Therefore we do not lose heart.  Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.  So, we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.  For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Psalm 89:15    Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light if your  presence, O Lord.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Thank you, Lord, for allowing me up another day.

Thank you for the down time over the weekend and getting back up and appreciating the ability towards the things I am allowed to do.

Timing is everything. 

 Even when we need to just breathe and sometimes, we forget how to. Red - Breathe Into Me

  We require something to help us through. We feel the twists, turns, and impacts of the day to day just wanting something to change, something to make all that is unpleasant, or tragic ripping through our spirits.     While we fight forward, we get lost and find things that mask it, push it behind, numb it.  All while the one truth is that only you Jesus will truly be what keeps fighting for us, when we acknowledge you.   Riley Clemmons - Fighting For Me

 

I keep hoping in this crazy world as it seems most any day it spins out of control.  Riley Clemmons - Keep On Hoping

 When you continue to say what you will do, say, or be. Yet never find it important enough to follow through. Only you are responsible for the end result.

Choices matter and we are all blessed with freedom of will & choice.

 

Make sure those friends you choose over family are worth it.

When you know they are not: Own it no excuse.

 

 Just don’t force your choice of life on others or think if you are not shining light to grow your blessings forward that you will be allowed to keep them.

 

Your choice your end result no matter the outcome.

 

Make sure you know that tomorrow is never promised; so wasted time thinking you have tomorrow to do what is right today.

 

Well, I pray if you’re reading this you make amends now where need be.

 

I pray you seek and give forgiveness.

You stop chasing demons or let your mistakes of yesterday rob you of today.

 

I pray you let it go, let it hurt, let it heal.

The battle has already been won. Stop fighting wars you think you can handle. Jesus is king. Then, now, and always. He won the war long ago.

Meet him right where you are and let him fill your spirit. Let him guide you, carry you, and release you from what you think no one knows.

 

Stop burning bridges.

 

You want something work for it! No one deserves a thing.

No excuses...

 

You exist now make it count to the one that gives air in those lungs.

Really love you and those you are blessed with.

 

With Clean hands a pure heart always fight forward and stop spinning in yesterday.

 

We all have a story.

We all get to rewrite the ending each day we are given.

 

I call upon the one who allows me here and now.

 

I believe every day you are allowed up.

You get to choose life eternal or be consumed. Rich Mullins - This World is Not My Home

 

 

Either way we own the next step.

 

Not our children, parents, friends, or any other person place or thing we blame our hurts, habits, or hang-ups on.

 

God gave his one and only son so we could have life.

 

Choose to learn to grow forward; to be a light wherever you can and know Jesus and that he died for you, for me so we can live now.

 

Respect that gift no matter what is happening.

 

Live now and know you have never been alone or on your own.

 

He is there waiting for you to call upon his name daily. In the good or bad.

 

Tap in and find peace and if you cannot find a light; ask Jesus to be one in and through you.

Someone needs you someone loves you.

Shine forward and never give up never give in; just because the world does.

 

Own who you are and where you are going.

 

Love you for you; love those you have been gifted with as a blessing, a lesson, a message, or purpose for who they are.

 

Remember to let go and let God in condemnation when your backed in that corner.

 

Don’t surrender;  go down fighting forward and remove yourself from what is not yours to judge or carry.

 

Protect your blessings!

Share your gifts!

Be that which shines with all the glimmer and gold you chase!

 

You and the God given life are priceless!!!

Don’t throw or chase you away!!!!

 

He is waiting and you will find Him waiting for you. December Radio find you waiting

  Don’t waste another second in what drives you mad.     Pull all that energy we are given to use and become a light; become who you are meant to be.

1 Peter 1:18-19   (NIV)  @BIBLEGATEWAY.COM

¹⁸ For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

 (@Jesus Calling 365 Devotions with Real-Life Stories @Sarah Young)

 “Rest in the stillness of MY Presence.”

Psalm 46:10  “Be still know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Romans 8:1-2    Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

“If you see someone with a smile, give them one  of yours.” @Dolly Parton

My Prayer For You - Alisa Turner

 

 

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Rest in you Lord in times of trouble as the flood waters come rushing through all our lives and we have no anchor washed up on the rocks we land beaten and broken if we do not have you, we will not, do not survive.   Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace) - Hillsong UNITED

 

 Even at times we do hold you close we find our minds and the worldly noise taking over to consume us before we find our way back up.

 

Those days I am under the weather and just not feeling what I should be reflecting.  Those losses, those scars pouring out for the vampires of the world to suck the life out of us if this is how we allow our minds-eye to see and think.  When we do not purpose to be focused on you the monsters will always get in.  Katie Sky - Monsters

 

 

All that is,  all that will be, is for my good Jesus. Somehow You Do @Reba McEntire

Be what may only we can say no, not think that way or this way.  

 

 We have been given freedom of will and choice, why would we think to listen to anyone but you.

Yes, that in this world we live leaves a wide-open free-for-all.  Interpretation and perception is in the eyes of each soul.   We all have us on version of what should be or is.

 

   Judgement though yes if we do not follow the rules here and now that are put in place to keep us safe and allow us to grow forward, we pay the price.   But final judgement belongs to the Lord.

 

It does not matter if my sin is bigger, worse, or different than yours.     They all add up and if we do not get our souls right here and now before it is too late, we will pay the ultimate price of suffering on the other side.   Through it all there is so much but even more truth that only you God can heal and allow us to really live.   Colton Dixon - Through All Of It

Faith over fear we must purpose to.   This world is crazy and if we think of all that can happen and let all of our phobia’s hold us back, we are forever frozen in time.

 

Paralyzed by all who have let us down or cut us so deep within at times we forget to whom we belong and breathe.   Jonny Diaz - "Breathe"

We forget to live the best we can for the one who allows us the very life we cannot understand, appreciate or even at times acknowledge.   

Or what about that which we chase the world and all that is in thinking it will be what gives life when in the end we never have enough or the very life we were chasing consumes us and we do all we can to numb it and hide from what hurts to live.

How if we have an image can we ever let anyone see the real you, the real me.    The truth that we keep buried in the depths; even when we belong to you Jesus.   Even though we are children of God we still get so lost and fall off the lighted path.   Zach Williams - Less Like Me

 

Yet all the while you are always there with your arms spread wide waiting for us to run to you.   Your hand stretched out waiting for us to grasp on.  Cody Carnes - Run To The Father

 

 Waiting for us to turn the noise of the world and all that we think we can achieve and listen to you.

The beautiful tones, tunes or even verses we do not understand playing out like instruments we enjoy and forget.    All those lyrics coming together with so much talent is so beautiful.  Leading us to hopefully Jesus, as your word is truth.   Blake Shelton - Bible Verses

 

Feeding the light into the world and the spirits so many lost souls starving and needing you.     It is more than that blessing of what makes the heartbeat again. 

It is what are we doing every other minute of any day we are given.  

Are we diving in?  Do we open the good book and try to understand what you say Jesus?

Are we carrying you in our veins when we walk out of church that once-a-week visit? 

Are we allowing all you are to flood the gates of life and pour into us with all those who are doing their best to be messengers of who you truly are Christ?

It is not the church building, though it protects us from the elements.  TobyMac - The Elements  Jesus is within us when we truly call upon your name every day allowed that we call you in Father God.

 

We may fall, we may stumble and get really dirty, but you will always carry us once we truly belong to you.  TobyMac On Your Own - Lost Demos

 Blessed a bride of Christ, daughter of the most high King.   Children of God we all are. Third Day - Children of God

None of us know what tomorrow will be.    May we know the difference to not be consumed and become collateral damage at the hands of what darkness eventually wins.

 

Teach us balance Lord.

May your chosen be the light to shine bright and help those who want you to find you.   It is you Jesus.     TobyMac - It’s You

 

 In our darkest moments of our own or at the hands of others; comfort us Jesus.

In the silent static where we are stuck in the spin; calm us Jesus.

Heal your children; guiding all to lean in on you and hold on tighter then ever before.   As we rise up and fall down.  May all of it have purpose in and through your will Jesus.   May we live, love, and celebrate the days we are given because of, with and for you.

The great spirits are entangled, the beast within us screaming to get out.  It is you Father God that spins the world on its axis.   

 You could change everything in a blink of an eye.  Yet your promises and freedom of will and choice allow us to choose what brings life or death.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Interesting morning Lord: taking the second vaccine yesterday and although no symptoms like many describe.  Perhaps because I have been pumping up on Tylenol every 4 hours to keep from fever, aches, and pains.    Absolutely a different kind of tired with that faint something is different in the background.

Thank you for this day no matter what it is and all those that have come before.   Thank you for the challenge to think and double check as I just feel good but off in a different way.

I will be spending the day in rest and resting this mind.    As I read through this morning “Not everyone you love will stay.  Not everyone you trust will be loyal.  Some people only enter our lives as a lesson or example of what to avoid.” @LoveWideOpen.Com

How each lesson through my time has reminded me of who I never want to be like.   Loving others through you, with you is the only truth in the end that will heal, give hope, and allow many more days of getting back up.

Thinking about the reasons why I took this vaccine and all the unknowns.  Knowing you are in control.  Knowing I am trying to do my part with deep hope you Jesus would have intervened for your children who stepped up for this if we were not supposed to do so.    You know all things.

Me ready to find that some sort of normal doing my part; diving in staying busy trying to be that one lesson no one else needs to go through to learn.

Feeling that love of those closest to me finally able to hug on those that has been too long.

Life is what it is until it is not.   Prayerfully we while making the best of it along the way work towards doing it selflessly learning how to turn off our selfish ambitions of me’ism that uses up all those that come along, in and out of our journey we are allowed.

 

It takes training and patience, and we have to become obedient to what we chase, what we follow, what we let in.  We have to stop playing that spiritual tug of war with you Jesus.   Please take this, please fix this; no wait I found a new way of what might work.    

Slowly that vapor fading away be it at the hands of my own demise in all that is meant for good or bad, selflessly, or selfishly.     At some point we all fade away back into the dust you formed us from. 

 

That dash in-between what you allow us in and out Jesus.     What we do with it, what we will be forgiven for, of or burn throughout the eternity we are left with when our time stamp ticket out arrives.       You gave us freedom of choice.

Please show mercy on those struggling to know how to stop the cycle, how to heal in you how to even know you are with them always.

Faith over fear.   Like that teenage lost kid walking through the inner city, she grew-up in at night and a major blackout takes over.  When suddenly one of those punk friends sneak up behind me walking thinking it would be funny to scare me.     I was always a fighter for survival and never letting anyone near me back then unless I gave in.

What about the girl that was pinned up against a church being beat up because at such a very young age she was sleeping around with other boyfriends?   

No not me, I was the mediator, somehow just in the right place at the right time to safe them from being beat to a horrible mess.    Not sure if they ever learned as later that friend, even married in a volatile marriage at that; ends up sleeping with the one I was living with for many years.

So crazy;  Forgiveness is a mighty thing!    Some people are just lost and their own worse enemies.   Thankfully, they are still living in the here and now and with one person that loves them beyond all the indiscretions: yet suffering horribly with health issues.

I remember so many years ago it seems when they begged me to forgive them and take the healing stone and give them a chance by praying over it.      

 

Me a lost soul myself not walking with you then; but what did they know when I forgave them and learned to pray it would bring me to the foot of the cross and needing you deep within this being to be anything Jesus!

All my life fighting for that truth and realness in all relationships be it me jumping in being a mediator for all those girls be it just too loose or those just at the hands of abusers because they had the bully control.

Something to be said being robbed from childhood and not knowing what life really should have been to know a mother, father and know someone was always there to protect us as children in our growth.

 

Not sure but guess this is where this mind maze is going today.   Thankful you never gave up on me Father.   

Seeing so clearly, I have never been on my own even during the darkest times that I never understood or should of, would of, could of moments in this life given.

You allow us your strength and courage with that freedom to change.   Even when we do not know to what or where.    And once we allow you in Holy Spirit nothing is ever the same!

No matter what you will never let go.    Even when so many in the world discard what is meant for beauty, love and indescribable joy used up bubble-gum.

 

I used to fight for having my significance in just someone.    That gap that a child yearns for from a mother and father, a lover from their life partner.    Just that which when they hold you; you are allowed to just exhale and rest and know that single second is a lifetime.    

Blessed to have realized that you Jesus are that glue that has put me together and held me tight leading me out of the darkness more times than not.

 

Those moments where you allow me to remember and see the light on the other end of each journey that did get dark.    Thank you!

For then, for now and for anything that may be.

May all I am connected know you, and purpose to learn and walk with you.   Heal this world Jesus for all the broken pieces not just an unseen virus.    Heal this land for the brokenness we each carry forth.

Heal all that I am for your will.  Love all that I am connected in your truth.

 

May we all want a love like you Jesus Love Like Jesus |Hyper Fenton & Moflo Music (Featuring Dr. Scott Fenton)
