“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” John 10:11
Jesus willingly laid down His life for us, His sheep. Our Shepherd traded places with us. Truth I never want to stop thanking Him for.
Trying to fill our aching hearts with the things of this world is like trying to fill an ocean with a tablespoon.
Instead of chasing after things that will never satisfy, let's ask Jesus to help us catch the tender drops of His mercy & to fully embrace His love.
My sincere condolences to the family of #billygraham What an incredible godly man! May his legacy live in those who remain and carry on his much needed and loved work. #tgbtg@Franklin_Graham@AGLotz
Deeply saddened by the Florida school shooting today. My prayers are with the families of those killed and injured, as well as the family of the shooter. Unfathomable..... Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4
When we pause to pray....
We step from the doorway of discouragement to the pathway of peace.
We trade worry for worship.
We magnify God and become less intimidated by our problems.
Yes, I want less of my brain power and more of His prayer power in my life.
Everything broken doesn't have to be completely fixed for us to be completely fine. We can be scared & brave & frail & unbelievably strong all in the same leap of faith.
Your heart is much too beautiful of a place for bitterness, anger, and resentment. That hurt you experienced is real. But it’s taken enough away from you. Time to let some peaceful and pleasant seeds take root and flourish and crowd out the weeds.
