May we not rely on our circumstances to provide the happiness we long for, but instead fix our eyes on Jesus, the source of all delight. ref.ly/Lk9.57-62

When you mourn,when you get to the point of sorrow for your sins,when you admit that you have no other option but to cast all your cares on Jesus,and when there is truly no other name that you can call,then cast all your cares on Jesus,for He is waiting in the midst of the storm

What a true statement from A. W. Tozer:
“It is astonishing how many difficulties clear up without any effort, when the inner life with Jesus gets straightened out.”
“If you love me, you will obey my commandments.” John 14:15

“Don’t waste time asking God to keep you from doing things- don’t do them”. (Corrie ten Boom).
Do you have any responsibility to God for your life? This morning, give God control of your life! Thank Him that He loves us with a real love.

“You have shown me what is good; and what do You, O Lord, require of me, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You, O God? “ ( Micah 6:8).

It is so easy to wonder if Prayer makes a difference.Our prayers may be feeble and awkward. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference!

As followers of Jesus,we all face tough times.Whatever heaven means to you,get it firmly fixed in your mind. Smile as Jesus reminds you,no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.John14:2-There are many rooms in God’s home.I am preparing a place for you

I love this quote: The only thing I really owned. The one thing I wanted to keep.
The only thing that I could give.
The one thing He wanted you have:
My will.
Over to You, Lord.
(Jean Belander)

Amazing.God became a baby. He entered our world of problems and heartaches. Zechariah 2:10-“Shout and be glad…I am coming and I will live among you!” Read John 1:14. He could have lived over us or away from usBut He didn’t. He lived among us.He became a friend of the sinner-us!

God longs to speak to you as clearly n your workplace as He does in your church auditorium.He longs to be worshipped when we sit at the dinner table and not just at the communion table. You may go days w/o thinking of Him, but there is never a moment when He’s not thinking of you

**Love God more than you fear he’ll.
**When no one is watching, live as if someone is.
**Make major decisions in a cemetery.
**Succeed at home first.
**Don’t spend tomorrow’s money today.
**Pray twice as much as you worry.
**God has forgiven you. You’d be wise to do the same.

If a sentence or two could capture God’s desire for each of us, it might read like this: “God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus.”
Philippians 2:5 “In your lives, think and act like Jesus!”

Meditating on the names of God reminds you of the character of God.
God is:
The Shepherd who guides’
The Lord who provides,
The voice who brings peace in the storm,
The physician who heals the sick,
The flag that guides the soldier.
He is our amazing God!!
