It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD and to sing praises unto thy name O most High:
Is your spirit feeling heavy? Begin to give thanks to the Lord. Sing praises to His name. The heaviness will lift and your attitude will change.
1 Arise shine; for thy light is come and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For behold the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
Light shines brightest in the darkness. Let the light of the Lord upon you, shine out in the darkest of times.
Everything comes from you and we have given you only what comes from your hand.
We have nothing to give except that which comes from God.
Wherefore my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Be quick to listen. Respond in love… Once a word is spoken it cannot be taken back.
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say Rejoice.
No matter our circumstances, our spirits are lifted when we rejoice in the Love of God!
For God is working in you, giving you the desire to obey him, and the power to do what pleases him.
When it is our desire to please God, He is at work giving us the power to do so.
… For the proud will be humbled but the humble will be honored.
Lord, help us to remember; all of the good in us, all of our abilities, every good and perfect gift, comes from YOUR Hand.
God’s Word is a reflection of His character and of His deep love for each one of us. Yet, at times I have found myself thinking, “Certainly that scripture cannot be true for me”. I have skipped over the words on the page without allowing their meaning to penetrate my heart. Words that would strengthen my spirit and build my faith if I would dare to let them in.
God’s Word is true. It is for whoever will receive it. Today, Valentine’s Day, I would like to invite you to choose at least one scripture about God’s love for you. Maybe you already have a verse that is special to you. Feel free to share it with us! You might like to use one of the verses on this page. However you choose, take your verse and remember it throughout the day. Reflect upon it as though The Lord had written just for you, because indeed, He did!
You are Precious to God
Zephaniah 3:17 (KJV)
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
When I laugh or when I cry, You find joy in singing over me.
You Are Known By God
Luke 12:7 (KJV)
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
The number is ever changing, but You Lord, still keep count. I do not need to be afraid because You love me that much!
You Don’t Have to Be Perfect!
Romans 5:8 (KJV)
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Your perfect love covers my imperfection. You love me just as I am.
You Are Worth Dying For
John 3:16 (KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
You died Jesus, that I might live. As if I were the only person on earth, you gave Your life for me.
You are Not Abandoned
Hebrews 13:5b (KJV)
I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Though others may leave me Lord, You never will.
You Are Forgiven
Isaiah 1:18 (KJV)
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Because You love me, You take the scarlet stain of my sin and remove it from my life.
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
A trusting heart is a heart filled with praise.
And I will give them an heart to know me that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.
Thank you Lord for a heart that longs to know you!
