Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. He has done great things for me, and holy is His name.” ‘Mary’s Song’ #Jesus

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

Loving self doesn’t make us feel better, just selfish and out of touch, whereas loving God and being Christ focused is the secret to forever so much, His fruits of the Spirit, like kindness, peace, and joy, loyalty, wisdom, and His love to employ❣️ #wewereborntoloveJesus

“But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions: joy that overflows, peace that subdues, patience that endures, kindness in action, a life full of virtue, faith that prevails, gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit. Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.” - Galatians 5:22-23 🕊️🎶

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

So much to fear, how will we cope, when we look at this world, will we hide or seek hope, will we waste our days in an endless maze, or on Our Lord fix our gaze? 🤍

“So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.”
2 Corinthians 4:18🕊

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

Grieving is suffering meant to heal, if through its valley, love for Christ becomes zeal, clinging to Jesus like a helpless child, safe in His arms while evil seems unrivaled, praying to stay true, a stronger faith moving mountains, with the peace of His presence as a myriad of fountains! 💦⛲️

“Even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for you already have! Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear. I’ll never be lonely, for you are near.” ~ Psalms 23:4 🕊

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

Wave the flag, declare Good News, soldiers fought, so we could choose, a land of rescue, let freedom reign, take a stand, proclaim His name❣️🙏🏼🇺🇸✝️ #reviveusagain #flagday #pray #Sunday #BrassTacks

Magnify the LORD with me! Together let us lift his name up high ~ Psalms 31:3 #onenationunderGod #HisNameisJesus

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

Seek the Lord while He may be found, avoid the regret of staying earthly bound, standing at your graveside will it be known, that you gloried in Christ and a life not your own? ✝️ #IAMhere

“Aim at heaven, and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth, and you will get neither!” -C.S. Lewis

“I’ve made myself available to those who haven’t bothered to ask. I’m here, ready to be found by those who haven’t bothered to look. I kept saying ‘I’m here, I’m right here’ to a nation that ignored me. ~ Isaiah 65:1🕊

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

Aim to age well, with a peaceful heart, to harbor no bitterness, full of love, to depart, to have lots of laugh wrinkles, hum His tunes with delight, then see Jesus smiling, at the last bid goodnight❣️🕊🤍

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

‘Even if He doesn’t’....answer my pleadings, and what I ask for is put on hold, ‘even if He doesn’t’ make the way clear yet, I will trust that His plan will unfold, and ‘even if He doesn’t’ stem the tide of sorrows that may be coming our way, He will keep me at peace, with His steadfast love, as I glory in my Savior each day!🕊🤍

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

We are weak but He is strong, not just words from a children’s song, courage, love, a path to take, given us for Jesus sake, opened eyes once we yield, find His favor, truth, and shield!🕊🤍 🎶 #takenotice #jesuslovesmethisiknow

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

To roll with the punches or go with the flow, it’s not your true grit, but who you know, come unto Jesus, who alone gives rest, be still in His presence, trust Our Father knows best, keep praising through trials, don’t lag behind, for each day is a marvel of God’s design! ☀️

“I heard your voice in my heart say, “Come, seek my face;” my inner being responded, “Yahweh, I’m seeking your face with all my heart.” Psalms 27:8 🤍

When I awake each morning, you’re still with me.” Psalms 139:18b 🕊

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

Don’t let someone miss your laugh today, that whisper of love, or “You just made my day!”, a pat on their back, your wink or cute grin, a poetic note, or, “Wow, you look thin!”🕊🤍 #iseejesusinyoureyes
“Be kind and tenderhearted…”🤍Ephesians 4:32a #sprinkleloveandkindness

Fried Egg Poppies & Daisies, with summer resuming, thankful for bird songs and everything blooming, sunshine and shorts, weddings and pearls, now give God the glory, as His beauty unfurls❣️🤍 #rejoiceinthelordalways

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

To take a breath peaceful, and whisper thanks to the Lord, for one more day given, and never be bored, to pray that our loved ones will just take a peek, and know that His story is the gold that they seek!☀️📖🤍#takeJesusathisword

“Break open your Word within me until revelation-light shines out! Those with open hearts are given insight into your plans.” ~ Psalms 119:130 🕊#Sunday #BrassTacks

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

Stand up, stand out, for Holy is He, we are to be holy, so how can that be, led by His Spirit, awe of Jesus, Our Lord, shut out the darkness, His Holiness turn toward, live in the Bible, life’s purpose reclaim, spend these last days revering God’s name!✝️♥️ #TheLordJesusChrist

“Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One who called you. For Scripture says: “You are to be holy, because I am holy.” … Live each day with holy awe and reverence throughout your time on earth.” ~ 1 Peter 1:15-17b 🕊🥀

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

If Jesus healed them all, everyone who came near, if He promises peace, and removes our fear, if He patiently waits for free will to decide, then no matter our trials, He will stay close beside! 🕊️🌟

“Then huge crowds of people streamed up the hill, bringing with them the lame, blind, deformed, mute, and many others in need of healing. They laid them at Jesus’ feet and he healed them all.” ~ Matthew 15:30 🤍☀️

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

Do what you can to draw another to hope, a smile that encourages, the words to help cope, prayers to Our Lord, that never subside, enlisting The Spirit to inspire and guide❣️🕊 #weepwiththosewhoweep #friedeggpoppytime

“He always comes alongside us to comfort us in every suffering so that we can come alongside those who are in any painful trial. We can bring them this same comfort that God has poured out upon us.” 2 Corinthians 1:4 🫶

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

We are at war, the enemy is the devil, his tactic is to keep us from prayer, to capture our thoughts and motives, to defeat us when we’re unaware, stop getting sidetracked, or discouraged, pick up God’s Field Manual and pray, stick to your guns, have hope in The Son, and with courage seize this day!🕊

“Make us Your mountaineers...that undefeated we may climb the hill...singing and seeing Him Who is invisible.”🤍

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

Humility is attractive, being prideful offends, unspoken wisdom is the best of friends, kindness boomerangs, Jesus is peace, our light, hope and rest that will never cease! 🕊 #loveoflife 🤍

“Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me.”
Matthew 11:29 #Jesus

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

Draw from His grace, leap away from your fears, abide in The Light, in sorrow shed tears, for God gives provision, enough for each day, and the key to access, is to remember to pray! #stoplookandlisten 💛💐💜☀️

[Mary Carnell @mcmustardseed]

Be quiet, just listen, learn when to speak, find words that are healing, then eye contact seek, be wise to discern, choose to make someone's day, share the kindness of Jesus, in some little way! 🕊❤️
