Your heart is much too beautiful of a place for bitterness. They made choices that hurt you. And chances are, those choices are an indication of their brokenness, not yours. Remember, it should be God’s words, not their words, that reveal the truth of who we are. ❤️
“Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat…they never stop producing fruit.”
- Jeremiah 17:7-8
Sometimes being grateful means choosing to see what is instead of being blinded by what isn’t. It’s a tough choice in some moments. Brutal actually. But it’s worth fighting through.
All around us are people in need of encouragement. What can you do to lift their spirits? It may mean speaking a kind word. It could be sharing a modest meal. It could be giving them the gift of a listening ear or a prayer spoken in faith. | @karen_ehman
Let me assure you: Forgiveness is possible. And it is good.
That person or people—they’ve caused you enough pain. There’s been enough damage done. And you don’t have to be held hostage by the pain.
You get to decide how you’ll move forward, sweet friend.
I’m inviting Christians from across the nation to join me for #PrayerMarch2020 in Washington, DC, on September 26. We will march down the National Mall, starting at the Lincoln Memorial, to pray for our country & our leaders. More at: https://t.co/nGnouDpRNy
"Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered..., '...our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand...But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods...'” (Daniel 3:16-18)
Take a deep breath, sweet friend. Let it out slowly. And remind your heart that you can release control to the One in control of it all.
He is mighty. He is loving. He is able. And nothing is going to take God by surprise.
