Did you know God was a choreographer?

Just take a minute and look at natures beautiful dance.....the trees swaying in the wind, the oceans waves lapping on the sand, the birds flying effortlessly, the clouds drifting about the sky, lightning dancing, brooks babbling........

Know that you are never alone. God is all around us, in everything we see, hear, smell, touch, taste. Everything we have is all a gift from God in this dance of life!

Dad always says God will provide...I think that's so true.

[recluse1]

Yes, I agree. God will provide our necessities to live daily and lead a productive life. Everything good in our lives is a blessing. It has been gifted to us from God.

In knowing that, we can see just how much God truly must love us.

Know that God is always with you in the spirit. So hold tightly to your faith in His ability to help in time of need.

This will give us strength to continue moving forward and hope for tomorrow. He not only has the ability to change your life. His help can also be immediate...He can change your day.

Blessing to you!

Living in the Spirit and being lead by the Spirit is to keep in step with the Spirit. Which is to have a fruitful life. That which is spiritual can also be practical. Let the Spirit be your guide everyday and in everyway with every step we take in our day-to-day lives.

[recluse1]

We are embassadors of God's love, peace, and compassion. People should see that in all our affairs, in all that we say and do.

I know being only human we will sometimes fail to do this. But we should still strive for it always.

Think on this....Your personal contact with another could turn a person's cries for help into songs of thanksgiving.

When you see another's pain...do you look away or do you lend a hand?

When you see someone that feels defeated or hopeless...do you continue to oppress and berate them or do you offer them hope?

When you see a person in struggle...do you throw out more obstacles or do you help them find direction?

How will you touch someone's life today?

[recluse1]

When faced with things most difficult, do not be terrified. Do not be discouraged. Rather be strong and courages and know that God is with you wherever you go.

He pours His perfect love over you and lends to you knowledge and understanding. His wisdom will enter your heart. His knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. His love will strengthen and breed within you hope.

[recluse1]

Be filled with the Spirit!

The Spirit brings forth love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Know that we are only as filled with the Spirit as we are yeilded to the Spirit. We must grant Him full access to our minds, wills, and emotions.

When we are able to do these things, we will be overflowing with the blessings that the Spirit has filled us with!

Be blessed today and always!

Everyone has had days of pain and disappointment rain down on them sometime in their past. All too often we let the past consume our minds and we aren't able to focus on the good things we have in the present or able to see the hope in the future.

We must remember that the rain is what brings forth life. Without the bad, we could never recognize the good. Without sadness, we would not know joy. Our pasts serve our futures as a foundation for times still to come. Don't get stuck in the past. The more time you spend in the past, todays times of joy go unnoticed, and the less time you have to invest in your future. It is the tests of our past that prepare our souls for future blessings.

Live in the now. Let your mind be free to see the blessings you are receiving today. Let your heart find hope for what will be tomorrow.

I saw this in one of my books and wanted to share it here. It is very simple, yet so very helpful to me. It is from, "When I'm in His presence", by Anita Corrine Donihue.

S-T-O-P

At times we feel we have a corner on all our off days, mixed emotions, and concerns in our lives. The wonderful part is how much God understands how we feel. After all, He made us.

He knows us through and through. He cares about every area of our lives and is willing to help and guide when we ask.

Our lives arent too minute for Him to care, because He loves us more than anyone in this world can possily love. He's all-knowing, just, and understanding. He sees what is best for us even when we don't recognize the answers ourselves.

The next time an off day hits, remember to S-T-O-P:
S- Stop and pray
T- Tell Him how you feel, then listen to Him.
O- open your heart to His presence.
P- Praise Him for His help and understanding.

When we ask and believe that He will provide, what we have asked will be shown and/or be opened to us.

So many of us fear death, as though it is our final destination. Death is only the doorway to it.

Yes, we have to be ready for that day, inevitably that day will come for all of us. Only those that are prepared to die are truly prepared to live.

[(JD)]

Those who have had an NDE (near death experience) as a believer, no longer fear death. Yes, the situation that causes it might not be great, but the actual dying no longer has any fear over them; me included. Those who were not believers and had an NDE were most scared once back living, and realize they received a second chance to find God. Few of them are numbered.

I believe we are in the end times of this era/way of life. Truly those who believe in God's removing of believers prior to a horrendous warring, might not die physically, you see, as they will be taken out in the air, much like Elijah, should they not die from other causes prior to.

Such wonderful energy awaits...

I've never had a NDE, but I want one. And I don't fear death either. It's no different than birth. Just a change of state from one existance to another. If only we could remember what we were, and what we are here to become.

[Danialla]

I also have never had a NDE, and like you Rapunzel, I have no fear of death.

After my brother past away, many signs were given to us that he was fine. We take great comfort in that....

[recluse1]

(((((((Sky, Rapunzel, Danialla)))))))

God is a God of many comforts! Many are the blessings of His love that we receive! Whether it be NDE, life transitions, or in our loss or grief...God knows each need and can meet each one! He works to the good of all who believe.
