Happy Mother’s Day

The unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit…
is of great worth in God’s sight.
1 Peter 3:4 (NIV)

Happy Mother’s Day

Easter Blessings

The love of God at Easter
is there for all to see-
He died for us and rose again
and won the victory!

God bless you with His peace & joy at Easter

From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another. John 1:16

God is on Your Side

“The Lord will fight for you.” Exodus 14:14

I read these words and draw in a deep breath. I need them right now. Don’t we all? Oh, we may not go to war.
But we fight…
for relationships
for dreams

We battle…
against illness
against discouragement

I think of you staring at the screen, perhaps feeling your strength is small. Oh, yes, I know what that’s like.
But victory isn’t up to us.
And those words you sometimes hear?
“You’re not worth fighting for.”
They’re a lie. Nothing more.
This is the truth from the heart of One who calls you His own:
You are loved.
You are worth fighting for.
You are even worth dying for.
So go into your day, strong friend, knowing that nothing can defeat you.
You’ve already won.

God Will See You Through

Sometimes it’s hard to see through our tears.

But even when we can’t see, God has promised to be there – loving us, strengthening us, giving us what we need to face each day.

No matter what happens, God will hold you close and see you through because you are so precious to Him.

God cares, cares right down to the last detail.
James 5:11

A Friend in the Storm

When it feels like life has failed you
and your mind’s been cast in war,
please remember Love’s forever;
I will pass you through this door.

You don’t cry alone in battle,
even when you think you’ve lost.
Please believe this truth, My winner:
Heaven paid your victor cost.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34:18
