He Has Feelings, Too!

It’s important to remember that Jesus has feelings, too!

… remember, He made us in his image, right?

We have feelings, so does He!

1.  He is not ignorant of our infirmities.

2. We bear this in mind so that we can truly realize just how faithful he is!

He always does what He says He will do, despite our evil, snide intentions. The sun rises and sets, everyday, without fail, without our blessing, and without being influenced by our stupid or ignorant behaviors.

He allows blessings to fall upon the just and the unjust.

He loves us despite the fact that we do not:

 

Thank Him,

Obey Him,

Trust Him,

Praise Him,

Worship Him.

As an aside,  We cannot be ignorant of our brother’s infirmities, either. In addition, we cannot sin, that grace may abound- God forbid!

The LORD Is My Shepard

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

² He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

³ He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

⁵ Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

⁶ Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

How comforting is it to know that the King of Kings and Lord of Lords is my Shepard!

He is looking over me.

He is looking after me.

He is my provider.

He is my all and all.

I am glad to know that it is not my job, or my credentials, or the favor that I have been extended from my boss, or my parents, or my siblings, no earthly being is responsible for protecting, loving, guiding, and providing for me.

Jesus Cares for Me

I remember growing up, one of my mom’s friends frequently sung a song called ‘Jesus cares for me’.

I remember that it wasn’t one of them songs that was ‘jumping’ so to speak. Honestly, as a kid I might have even considered it boring or bland.

… but as an adult I sure am glad that the Lord cares for me.
I know with certainty that He really, really cares.
He pays attention to little things.
He supplies my needs and wants.
He is my provider.
He orchestrates things that I could never, would never do, even if I tried!
… and for that I am grateful!
He moves heaven and earth on my behalf.

How peaceful is life now that I know this and have an understanding of it!?!?

I don’t have to worry or fret.
He cares for me.

I don’t have to be anxious.
He cares for me.

I dont have to figure it out.
He cares for me.

He is my health care provider.
He cares for me.

He stands by my bedside.
He cares for me.

He makes every crooked path straight.
He cares for me.

He lowers every mountain.
He cares for me.

He raises every valley.
He cares for me.

He makes the darkness light before me.
He cares for me.

For the word says ‘Cast your cares on Jesus’: Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.(Psalm 55:22).

Knowing this humbles me and energizes me to do more, be more, love more, and to use more of the resources He lends me to further His work. I almost feel like I can’t do enough. I can’t give enough. But I sure will try!

I dare you to tap into this.

-Thank You, Sis Nora!

Argh!!! Why does this hill seem so big?

Sometimes, we get frustrated because the obstacles in our path seem so insurmountable.

Why do they seem sooooo big? … Because we are closer to the obstacle that we are to God.

Tell your problem: ‘Back up, give me 50 feet!!’

1. Pull out your phone and message yourself 10 things you are grateful for

2. Google ‘what the bible says about trust’  … or a word to describe your issue, whatever the issue

3. Go to Youtube.com and pull up some music and sings praises unto the Lord

4. Go to your ‘Holy Bible App’ and read some scriptures on encouragement

5. Encourage yourself by remembering things that the Lord has brought you through so far

6.  Read a scripture, close your app and then just meditate on it, for 10 minutes

7. Periodically stop and think about different scriptures that you’ve read over the course of your life … It doesn’t matter if you just say, ‘The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want!’ (Psalm 23)  Say that…

8. Intentionally overthrow the issue at hand and purposely think about other things: whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philllipians 4:8)

9. Verbally say, “Get behind me, satan”. Leave me alone! You no longer have permission to speak to me.

10. Go into all-out, no holds barred, prayer, praise and worship! Worries and stressors cannot stand where the presence of the Lord dwells.

Glory!

I feel like the Lord has given me an amber’s light of understanding  of what it means to give Him glory. Thank you for loving me.

Being my friend, touching my life, leading me, providing me, fighting my battles for me, speaking up for me.

O Lord, teach me to give you the glory for all things.

-To appreciate you for your love & kingdom & etc. intangible and tangible blessings.

-To defeat the temptations to accept praise for doing things myself, and sit in silence.

-To see that even “bad things”have happened to allow me to solidify my  choice of loving you.

-Time after time, teach me to choose to give you all the glory, in Jesus name!!

… To be continued…
