How inspiring His creation can be as we experience the splendor of it, breathe into our soul the incredible miraculous beauty of God. Hopelessness can darken our soul at times, yet the beauty of God, supersedes it and lights up our soul with the fresh revelation of Awe of God and it is here, in this majestic wonder, we can rest and let be, be still and know He is God. He’s got us. Rest in the Awe and wonder of God.

#1MinuteEncouragement Harmony with God is an incredible thing. How do we get there? Am I Wholly-Holy-His? Because when we are serving God, in vital-vertical relationship with Him we are stronger, better people. Don’t get stuck in a rut of self, serving no power higher than self. This is an exhausting way to live. Our strength is empowered by God and the joy of this is exhilarating. If we are serving no power higher than self, maybe we need a good trial to shake us free from this rut. “Trials were meant to release us from the bondage of self.” Paul Tripp

#1MinuteEncouragement From death to life, oh how we needed this transformation. There is nothing and no one we human beings can hope in to fix our messes. We all have the same human condition. We all were created to need God. That is why He came to us. He is a hope like no other. He came here and lived our life without sin, without failure, without hate, without unforgiveness, without a human condition. Jesus paved the way for us, this Way-Maker God, a way of future hope. Today, we place our hope securely in Jesus, our Christmas Savior, born on earth and ushering in the greatest transformation ever known to mankind… death to forever life.

Jesus, He Came To Us! I hope we never get over that. God in the flesh. He felt what we feel, understands us like no other, as He has experienced how we live, laugh and love. Jesus, His perspective of us, of our lives from birth to adulthood, He got firsthand. He knows the human condition, He felt rejection, betrayal, and being wounded and killed by the hands of those who thought they knew something they did not know. Never forget, this amazing wonder of our God: He Came Here To Us, He Pursued Us. I hope during this Christmas Season, You know that there is nothing God has not done for us, this Christmas Savior, He loved and loves us excellently. God is and will be the all of our everything, a trustworthy Way-Maker God. Befriend God. “Talk It Up” to Him today, connect, “Heart TO Heart”. Our Christmas Messiah, He Is Listening – He Cares And He Responds To Us With His Purposeful Providential Care.

#1MinuteEncouragement ~ Hindered by clutching fear? Fear does nothing positive for us as fear keeps us from being navigated by God and propels us to a dead end. We have a forever freedom in Jesus. Jesus, our Morning Star, our Light of the world. Our Christmas Savior came to us, to deliver us. Jesus was a Deliver then and is a Deliverer now. Are we going to embrace fear, or embrace Jesus, our Deliverer? We need to shake off the fear that keeps our Christmas Joy in bondage, and be free to live, laugh, and love this Christmas Season.

Jesus changed our lives through meekness and humility. How odd is that? It wasn’t pride, it wasn’t self-righteousness, it wasn’t someone who thought they knew it all, it wasn’t a deceiver, cheater, or someone committing fraud, nor was it a powerful kingship born an elite way. Our Redeemer was a vulnerable tiny baby born in Bethlehem in a stable. Our Deliverer was Jesus, with a kind servant’s heart who ushered in the most powerful transformation ever known to mankind. Death To Life. Jesus changed it up and He still transforms us on this day. Look To Jesus, The Christmas Savior. He Can, He Will, Transform You From Death To A Forever Life. There is no other that can change it up like Jesus.

We were created, designed to be free. Freedom was engrained in us by our God deep within our Human DNA. In times such as these, freedom is a fragile thing. We in the United States are so close to losing our freedom. We need be grateful for our freedom of choice, the designing of God, the giving us free will choice. We are free, every people and every nation. Don’t let anyone take away your freedom. Rise up and say NO! In America, freedom is the power of the American Spirit, that no man has been able to hold down. No matter how dark the day is at hand, the American Spirit has risen up and will rise up to win the day. We are free, we are free indeed. Let’s arise and stand together to preserve the heritage of our liberty and justice for all. Freedom Is God Given And Our Inalienable Right, Wherever We Live, Laugh And Love.

#1MinuteEncouragement It is our choice; we stay where we are or we can choose to grow through. What are you facing right now that has you stuck between staying or growing? Is it a choice between sadness or happiness? Happiness is a choice to grow through sadness and find joy, it is a choice between exhaustion or strength. Is it a choice between good or bad? Bad is a choice for bondage, to know now power higher than self, good is a choice for truth and the freedom truth brings is powerful. Is it a choice to forgive or not forgive? Forgiveness is a choice for peace and a soul filled with light while unforgiveness is a choice for bitterness that can take root in your soul, making your emotions dark. What is your choice you need to make to go with God today and grow through? Thank God for your free will. Thank God He has made you free to choose. Think up. Pray it up. Make the next right choice. God bless you.

We carry so much in times such as these. We can become compassion fatigued so easily. Situations, emotions and life can be overwhelming at times, especially in this life season where are world seems so topsy-turvy. Burdens can pile up on us until we can’t carry another thing. Connecting with God, heart to heart is a great strength for us, we can pray it up to our Awe-GOD, Who will take every trial we face and make a way of escape for it.

#1MinuteEncouragement Oh, there have been so many times that my circumstances just crashed and burned my expectations and deadened my dreams. Death of dreams, not an easy thing to swallow, but it goes down best as we breathe in the constant love of God for us. We do have an enemy and we don’t underestimate him. Yet, we also do not let circumstances dictate our belief and faith in the trustworthy Favor of God. Our situations does not hinder or hamper God’s Favor. God’s Favor is strong with us and for us, no doubt about it. When things don’t go our way, God’s Favor is still with us and His purposes are in play in the unseen, for our good in that God favorable kind of way. Watch – Wait – See.

#1MinuteEncouragement Have you gotten up today overwhelmed with dread? Do you feel this day is more than you can emotionally handle? Do you feel roadblocked to what you want to do because of fear? Are you facing a roadblock that you cannot change? Grow through with GOD, get around the barrier by His wisdom, strength and help. God is good. God is with us. God is for us. We love this about our God, more than we dislike our roadblocked day. Trust God. Let be, be still and know He is a powerful, able God. God bless you and yours.

Soul Wounds There are wounds from family members that we feel like we will never survive or get over. We don’t want to just get over them, we want to “grow through” them to healing. Anxiety and soul wounds are always interconnected. Anxiety can be triggered by a soul wound and the only ONE Who can heal your soul is Jesus Christ. I know this because He healed mine. If you have a soul wound, meet your Healer, Jesus Christ, know Him, know His healing touch. God bless ya.

#1MinuteEncouragement We face these bridges in our lives, they look ominous before us and we don’t even want to start walking up and over them because we feel defeated before we take the first step. We know we need to get to the other side, but we don’t feel like we can make it over the bridge. What is your bridge? Are you dreading the overpass? Are you standing at the foot of the bridge, blocked by doubt, fear, anxiety? On this day, look to God for your strength to take that first step. He is with you, step by step as strength and joy. There is no bridge to tall, to long that God can’t help you get over to the other side. Cling to Him, start walking. He’s gotcha.

#1MinuteEncouragement When we realize the weight of what is going on in our nation and in our lives, we also realize that Jesus Christ is the only One Who can navigate us through the unchartered waters we find ourselves in, as evil has wreaked havoc with our circumstances. This is the best time of our lives, when we are stretched outside of our own strength and ability and find ourselves needy, and lacking the ability to fix the mess we are in. This is when looking to God, praying and asking Him for the help we need, is our best course. He is the only one who can carry our burdens and miraculously change things up. Pray for your nation. Ask God for His help. Pray It UP!

Got a tough life season going on? Weeds, muck and mire up to your knees? Change your focus! Don’t focus on the muck and mire of life. Look up to Jesus. Focus UP! We have a super amazing God Who is for us, Who loves us with a plenteous love. We tend to run from God when we have bad situations, and we fall into the pit our enemy crafted for us. Run to God, run to His Light, which can’t be extinguished by the darkness of our enemy’s pits of weeds, muck or mire. God’s strong favor is with us and for us. Move to the Light of God and grow through on the wings of His Favor. God bless ya.

#1MinuteEncouragement God is not done yet, so we hope. We wisely do not give those with desperately wicked hearts permission to speak into our life. This keeps our heart free from the deception of the deceiver. We cling to the promises of GOD, knowing that when things are hard, when we can’t see light ahead, we shall yet praise our God. Hope shines and always breaks through the darkness of our night, bringing joy.

#1MinuteEncouragement It only takes a minute to be deeply encouraged by God. I believe in God and I believe God. Word Strong is a place of inner spiritual core strength, a place we all need to be in times such as these. We can believe God, His truth endures. No doubt about it. God is working in the unseen for our good. Believe it. Trust God.

It is so easy in times such as these to kindle our own fires (Isaiah 50:10-11) and walk by the light of a man-made fire that will flame out and leave us in the dark. So, I say, choose to walk by the Light of God, never flame out, shine brightly for the world to see Christ in you, the hope of glory. Let other’s see in you the truth you know, the truth of God, a light that can never be extinguished. Glow God’s Glory!

Darkness comes in like a flood, it makes our soul shiver. Deceit surrounds us on all sides causing despair to rise in our heart. Against us are the wicked hearts full of the violent trickery of dark deeds, yet, God is with us. Our shiver of fear is shut down by His Sliver of Light, the brilliance of His truth, a revelation which exposes the dark deeds of evil prevailing against right and good. God is able to defeat our enemies, so we patiently endure with faith and hope, which lights up our darkness and shatters our shiver with the reality of God’s truth and peace.

#1MinuteEncouragement Does your life have a living legacy ripple effect? Are you choosing to do the right thing, the first time, from every moment to every choice? This is a ripple effect for God on the sands of life, our living for Him, consistently, constantly, continually being a light of His truth in us and through our living. Be so, make a ripple effect of God’s Glory on your life path, a pattern for others to follow. Followship of Jesus ripples His truth, His life, His ways throughout the sands of time. Be So.

Why shouldn’t we enjoy our lives? No matter what we are “growing through”, God is always on the move, never not working for our good and His Glory. He is always with us. We are a loved people, abundantly so. I can’t help but be thankful as I trust Him to write the rest of our story. He’s got the pen; He is writing a great history for mankind and has already penned our forever future. We can thankfully let go and let Awe-GOD work! He has us covered underneath His Rulership of Love.

#1MinuteEncouragement Open you heart wide to God and with innocent child-like joy and faith be grateful for all that He is, all that He has done for us. We are a blessed people. What are you thankful for today? Put in words what your heart knows from the experience of God’s blessings. Connect your heart to God’s heart and let Him know how grateful you are for Him being that all of our everything. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. God bless you, MUCH!

There are times when we are just overwhelmed with the goodness of God. These are sweet days for our soul. God is amazing and all He has created is beauteous! Awe-GOD! Not only is He the Creator, but He also maintains what He has created in that miraculous way of His. We are a blessed people and today we give thanks, we acknowledge God’s goodness with heart felt praise. Awe Lord God! Every single day God is with us and for us. We are never not cared for.

People are so different, and in all families, the human condition is alive and well. There is no perfect family, and no perfect family member. No human being can meet your needs and thankfully, Jesus, He is our enough. Family emotions can really heat up over the holidays, as the dynamics of exclusion, conditional love, and past hurtful relationships, bring about drama, drama, drama, and it gets bad when things are blown way out of proportion and expressed in self-righteousness. Self-righteousness is a pride that can’t admit the imperfection of messy family life, and indignantly points fingers at others, while all along they are a part of imperfection. Self-righteousness is a family stank like no other. In the midst of messy family relationships, don’t resort to self-righteousness, humbly admit that you and your family is not perfect, but loved and forgiven by God.

Disappointment, Despair, Discouragement, Disillusionment, these are hard things to navigate through. It is dark, so dark in this life season and we don’t understand what God is doing. Yet, we are never without the light of God, our footsteps are navigated, step by step and in the darkest of nights, we see the twinkle of God’s glory, and we know we are never without God’s direction. Way-Maker God!
