#FridayGratitude!

1 Thessalonians 5: 16 – 18 AMP

“Rejoice always and delight in your faith; be unceasing and persistent in prayer; in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.”

My journey has been interesting this year and my goodness something I took away this year never tells others how God is blessing you. Let them see the blessings don’t actually go and say “God blessed me with this and that.” I found out the minute I did that my blessings were stolen away and I felt terrible afterwards.

I am so grateful that God keeps all His promises. I have many friends and the one thing that I found is that people do not keep their promises. They failed me and I was so disappointed but then I look at them and realize they are people, it’s their nature.

My God is everything to me, I am grateful for today, I am so grateful for my job. I am grateful for my husband and family. I am grateful that I can breathe and enjoy good health. I am grateful to God for His blessings in my life. I am grateful for open doors for my family and friends. I call on God to give each one of us the necessary wisdom and understanding for today and for the rest of the week.

I am grateful that God is in control of each one of our lives. I am grateful that I can sit here and chat with you. My hope is that God is intertwined in my life and that I will not disappoint Him. I feel my heart leap with joy when I see God’s hand in my life. I used to magnify my problems unnecessarily and today I sparkle with joy. God’s hand is on my life. Whatever you want to ruin in my life, God is using it to grow me and strengthen me.

Prayer

Lord, humbly I stand before You, thank You for Your loving kindness and thank You for the blessings in my life. I pray that You will help me move past the people who are trying to ruin my life and let me sparkle going forward with You Spirit. Lord, I am calling on You to bless each and every person today. I pray for open doors, I pray for supernatural favour with You today as well as with people. Thank You Abba Father, I love and adore You, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward. God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other. Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’. Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her. One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it. As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’. Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl. I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today. I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
