Generosity Encouraged

⁶ Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. ⁷ Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸ And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. ⁹ As it is written:

“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever.”

Thank you for today Lord. What challenges await me today? What ever is out there for me I meet it head on with you Lord. I can do nothing without you . Together you hide me under you wing, you walk with me, you protect me. No matter what is going on in my life, I am better off with you. Thank you Lord for you blessings, I love you.

Blessed Trinity

2 Corinthians 8

The Collection for the Lord’s People

8 And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. ² In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. ³ For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, ⁴ they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people. ⁵ And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us. ⁶ So we urged Titus, just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part. ⁷ But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

^{Proverbs 22-24}

²A good name is more desirable than great riches;

to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.

² Rich and poor have this in common:

^{The Lord is the Maker of them all.}

⁶ An honest answer

is like a kiss on the lips.

Thank you Lord for today. I will try to make you proud of me today. My heart longs for you Lord. Keep me close. My heart recognizes your expressions of love. My Trinity is all I have that truly connects us and to know that My Love played Holy, Holy, Holy as a connection makes me cry. I love you and pray that God will have pity on us. Have a blessed day.

Thursday

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!  (Philippians 4:4 NIV)

Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near (Philippians 4:5 NIV)

Then the Lord replied: 

 “Write down the revelation 

 and make it plain on tablets 

 so that a herald may run with it. 

 For the revelation awaits an appointed time; 

 it speaks of the end 

 and will not prove false. 

 Though it linger, wait for it; 

 it will certainly come 

 and will not delay (Habakkuk 2:2 - 2:3 NIV)

Lord, thank you for today. Waking up and not being able to get back to sleep is not good. We have to work on that Lord. Today is a good day. Take my hand and lead me where you want me to go. I trust you Lord. I love you. Make today a good day. Be content in all your circumstances today. I have to believe that God is with me all day long. I trust you to be with me all day long. When I am weak, you are strong. You are my rock. I love you and pray for you. 

Tuesday

Ephesians 5:20

Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:19 - 5:20 NIV)

Psalm 116:5-7

The Lord is gracious and righteous; 

 our God is full of compassion. 

 The Lord protects the unwary; 

 when I was brought low, he saved me. 

 Return to your rest, my soul, 

 for the Lord has been good to you (Psalm 116:5 - 116:7 NIV)

We are so blessed that The Lord gave us this day, trust in The Lord with all your heart. I pray that your day goes well. Let no weapon formed against you prosper. You are the head and not the tail. Your strength lies in trusting God. You are a strong man. You have so many things on your mind. Trust God to help us prioritize. In my weakness, my God is my strength. If I can't bond with you daily, then my day is off and I wonder what to do. If I have you close to me, then your Presence comforts me in my weakness. I gain strength from the light of your Presence. My God, my goal is to glorify you. When I condemn myself for not being strong, I remember that your mercies are forever. I yield to you. I pray that I can let the light of your love shine in me. God, I struggle with my weakness for you. Lord, you know my weaknesses and you still love me so much. Unconditional love. I trust you with my heart. Your Presence is my desire, I yield my heart to you as an act of trust. I trust you Lord. I love you.

Relying on Your Presence

Psalms 42:5

Why, my soul, are you downcast? 

 Why so disturbed within me? 

 Put your hope in God, 

 for I will yet praise him, 

 my Savior and my God (Psalm 42:5 NIV)

Thank You Lord fo today. Thank You Lord for today. I am grateful for another chance to be nearer to you. You know my beginning and you know my end. Remove all doubt from me. Lord you are my solid rock. I trust you to move me along safely.  Watch over him and keep him secure in yor bosom. Let no weapon form against him. Let no tongue have success in breaking him down. He is a strong man of God. Protect him in ways I know nothing about. You know the comings and goings of our life. I pray that we can start fresh. Start new from square one. I pray for a relationship that we are both longing for. I miss his touch and his words. I cried most of yesterday. I dont want to feel bad all the time. He speaks to my heart and says that we can do what God says we can do. We will accomplish what God says we will accomplish, we will have what God says we will have. His spirit is unshaken. He is a rock. A strong fortress. A ture man of God. I feel so blessed to be loved and in love with a man of God. How it moves forward is a mystery to me. I throw my hands up because I do not know what to do. I dont think I ever did. Get rid of the doubt, trust in you and believe that God has been with me daily. Lord you know how this ends. You know what will happen.   I pray for our new beginning. Together. Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone. I love you,

talk to me

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres (1 Corinthians 13:4 - 13:7 NIV)

Dear Lord, thank you for today. Thank you for giving me another chance to get it right. I am so very happy that I have you in my life. You ask me to trust you. Trust you to know my circumstances and to help me find balance. Trust you when my body feels out of balance, you will make it work. Trust you when my emotions are out of balance, you will steady me. Trust you. God is in control.  I love you. Have a blessed day today. See you later, maybe.

Assurance

Lamentations 3:1-9

I am the man who has seen affliction 

 by the rod of the Lord’s wrath. 

 He has driven me away and made me walk 

 in darkness rather than light; 

 indeed, he has turned his hand against me 

 again and again, all day long.

He has made my skin and my flesh grow old

and has broken my bones. 

 He has besieged me and surrounded me 

 with bitterness and hardship. 

 He has made me dwell in darkness 

 like those long dead.

He has walled me in so I cannot escape; 

 he has weighed me down with chains. 

 Even when I call out or cry for help, 

 he shuts out my prayer 

He has barred my way with blocks of stone; 

 he has made my paths crooked 

Dear Lord, thank you for today. You woke me this morning so I have more to do. I depend on you to know me better than I know myself. I am trying to depend on you and not miss what life is about. I don't want the worry and failure. I want it to be peaceful in the midst of my storm. Let the natural occurrences just happen. Let us have a successful and uneventful first day. I begin this day with a joyful expectation. You are with me and I pray that you cover our walk with the blood of Jesus. Don't forget me, yet I know you won't because you Know all and you see all. When I am reminded of that, I feel a calm, because I know you are there. I pray that you haven't given up on me. I want more. I desire more. This is an intimate adventure that I can not give up on. Be blessed today, and remember to be a blessing to someone special. I love you.
