My Best Friend
|
|
All my thoughts are turned to You
To learn Your ways and know Your heart.
Throughout the day I wait on You
Fresh revelation to impart.
For You are Life and You are Light,
The answer for my every need.
Strength and purpose found in You
Will help me prosper and succeed.
I cannot walk through life alone.
I wouldn't even try.
For You alone direct my path.
Only You can satisfy.
You are my lifeline...my best friend!
I long to hear Your voice,
That I might have a deeper walk.
What reason to rejoice!
"For You have been my help, and in the shadow of
Your wings I will rejoice. My whole being follows
hard after You and clings closely to You."
Psalm 63:7-8 Amplified Bible

Procrastination's Excuse
|
|
Procrastination waits and waits
And never seems to get much done.
She doesn't have much urgency
And simple tasks she seems to shun.
Instead of saying, "It can wait -
I'll deal with it another day",
She should rise and go to work
On each new task without delay.
For "waiting" is a tired game
And misses possibility.
It's better to be prompt and ready
And have accountability.
It's very freeing just to know
That there is nothing "pressing in".
To have a clean slate every day
Is just the best way to begin!
"And whatever you do, do it heartily,
as to the Lord and not to men."
Colossians 3:23 NKJ

Threads Of Loveliness
|
The Lord weaves threads of His loveliness into each day to bring added dimension to every aspect of our experience..... so that as we move through each day we may see His beauty, feel His touch and perceive His presence all around us. His beauty is woven throughout all of His creation. How great are His benefits to His children.
As we diligently seek Him, His beauty becomes more and more visible to us, and increasingly we will comprehend the richness of His love and caring..... whereby we are very rich.
"One thing I have desired of the Lord,
that will I seek: that I may dwell in the
house of the Lord all the days of my
life, to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in His temple."
Psalm 27:4 NKJ

Joy
|
|
Joy..... warms the heart
Joy..... buoys up the spirit
Joy..... gives balance for a heavy load
Joy,..... has a positive outlook
Joy..... looks up
Joy..... brings peace
Joy..... promotes healing
Joy..... changes perspective
Joy is as a fragrant salve for the
spirit..... a healing balm
Joy is the smile of God within us.....
Richly adorning the countenance
and transforming the heart
"In Your presence is fullness of joy....."
Psalm 16.11 NKJ
