The Lord's Compassion

As a father has compassion for his children, so the LORD has compassion for those who fear him. He certainly knows what we are made of.

The Honey in Mead

The Honey in Mead

There once was a man who searched for a good livelihood and so he asked many merchants and businessmen what he should do. He was advised to learn how to make mead, since people like to drink mead. So he went to the big city and had an experienced mead master teach him the principles of making mead. Then he returned home and began to make mead. When the mead was ready – as was the custom – he…

The Best Thing About the Past is That It's Really a Present

The Best Thing About the Past is That It’s Really a Present

the past on a cycle If there is anything to be learned from history, it’s that we should learn from the past. George Santayana famously said, “Men who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” So history can be educational, but there is another observation about the past that we should remember: we can’t live there… The Apostle Paul put it this way: “Brethren, I do not count myself…

You're not powerful enough to ruin God's plan for you.

In case you thought you blew it.

In case you thought you were too far gone.

In case you are stuck in fear.

Rest in the fact that God is a God of redemption, and He knows your limitations.

Psalm 103:13-14 reminds us: "As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust."

If you're seeking to honor God, you're exactly where you need to be. He sees your heart, your sacrifices, and your obedience. It's not about perfection, but submission. God fulfills His plans through willing hearts.

Please don't think that you messed up the story.

Continue to show up faithfully, and know that God, in His faithfulness, will do His part and direct your path. 🌿

In case anyone needs to hear this tonight:

Please don’t hate your body. You are more than your body, but your body is important. It may get confused or scared or send wrong signals, it may be afflicted by incorrect processes, it may be damaged, but it is YOURS. It may not fit some ideal the world has tried to fit all bodies into, but it is YOURS. It was entrusted to you. It is precious. No matter how broken or confused parts of it may be at times, it is yours. It is precious. You are precious.

Your mind is connected to your body. How we think can indeed affect our bodies. I don’t mean that believing something a certain way will MAKE it happen, but science has proved again and again that we can retrain our thoughts to be better (even if they arent perfect); we can learn optimism and empathy even though we struggle with them; we can deny sensations and urges we know are wrong or harmful. We can care for our bodies, for ourselves, without hating our bodies or ourselves.

Your body is not against you. It is your cradle, your vessel. It doesn’t know anything expect “protect the body and the person in the body,” and sometimes it needs help because it doesn’t realize its attempts to protect you are broken, are hurting you. The corruption of this world can damage the body, but it’s still TRYING. Sometimes it tries so hard that it hurts more. Sometimes it’s a small child that needs you to lovingly hug it and tell it you’re okay, everything will be okay.

Please love your body. Please put away the sharp blades, the harmful drugs, the surgeries that remove healthy parts because the body or mind is confused and thinks it shouldn’t have them. It’s okay to need help, whether from doctors or counselors or pastors. The pain or depression or anxiety or disability or whatever you’re dealing with is hard, it’s so hard, it’s okay that you struggle with it! But please don’t give up on your body. Sometimes things pass, and sometimes God leads us to new ways of living that turn even the worst problems into sources of light.

Please, don’t hurt your body. Please, don’t abandon your body. We need you here. It’s not your time yet. And if you have hurt your body, I promise, I promise: There is still hope. The Healer can make beautiful things out of dust and ashes. It’s not too late. It’s never too late while you still have breath in your lungs.

The Lord God made you. He loves you. He has not abandoned you. He knows every ache and pain and fear. He offers HIS strength to get you through this hard time. He doesn’t condemn you for finding it hard. He understands it may take you time to fully trust Him. He isn’t going anywhere. He isn’t giving up on you. Please don’t give up on yourself.

You are so, so very loved. Please, know that it is okay to love yourself, too.

“Just as a father loves his children, so the Lord loves those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence]. For He knows our [mortal] frame; He remembers that we are [merely] dust.”

— Psalm 103:13-14 (AMP)

“For You formed my innermost parts; You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb.

I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from You, when I was being formed in secret, and intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were appointed for me, when as yet there was not one of them [even taking shape].

“How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

If I could count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.”

—Psalm 139:13-18 (AMP)

I want to be found faithful and I want to remain hopeful.

With things happening in the world increasing at such a rate that Christians talk about so much–and I understand this–I want to focus on the Lord, His Word, his control and sovereignty over it all. It's not up to me to fix it. I want to be found faithful and speaking the truth in love, but I cannot be weighed down by the difficulty around us. I want to keep my eyes fixed on Him. I choose to look at the Truth (Scripture) and not the stats and the depressing, weary things. Not to be ignorant, but to be able to pull from a resource that is greater than what we see around us. I don't have all the answers, but may I share Scripture? His Word doesn't return void.

He knows our frame is but dust ("For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust." Psalm 103:14). God's grace will see us through, beloved. We don't have to be enough, we just need to show up today and be found faithful. "When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" Luke 18:8b.

To remain hopeful. To show up and be found faithful with what he has given today. Give us eyes to see, Lord. Restore unto us the joy of your salvation.

“I know a young man who lives in the city of Monrovia in Liberia, West Africa. A few years ago, he was involved in a terrible accident. He fell off a truck going at high speed down a crowded road. When he hit the ground, he was struck in the head by another vehicle, and his scalp was peeled back by the force of the blow.

The emergency team at the hospital was convinced he would die in a matter of minutes. Nevertheless, they sewed his scalp back, cleaned him up as best they could, and placed him in a bed in a crowded room.

In the middle of the night, the young man regained consciousness. His relatives were sitting near his bed asleep. And in the corner stood two men in white. They glowed with a shining white brightness. They came over to his bed, and without waking his family, told him they were angels who had been given charge over him to guard him and to minister to his needs. They then left, but not before assuring him they would always be near–that he could count on their help.

To the astonishment of the hospital staff, the young man made a complete recovery and regained his full strength. Today he suffers no effects from the accident, and of course his faith in God has been greatly strengthened.

Before you conclude this young man was hallucinating, look up the word angel in a Bible concordance and do a short study on these beings. You might start with Hebrews 1:14: “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” (Hebrews 1:14)

By the way, have you considered that angels are watching over you right now?”

~ Leroy Eimes

See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.” – Exodus 23:20

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. Psalm 34:7

Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word! Psalm 103:20

Take heed that you do not despise one of My little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 18:10

“God Erases Our Sins” By Bible Love Notes:

“Do you know why pencils are typically painted yellow? It’s because the best graphite in the 1800’s came from China and pencil manufacturers painted their pencils the color of Chinese royalty to prove they used the best. Ironically, the yellow pencil now seems very commonplace, not regal at all. But it’s easy to understand why pencils became common--they revolutionized self-expression, and unlike chiseled stone or inked parchment, they allowed men to erase their mistakes.

Of course, that’s one reason we also love the computer. It’s even better than the pencil. Not only can we erase our mistakes, we can delete them and start over without any eraser fuzz.

But God tops them all: “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool” (Isaiah 1:18).  Our God "deletes" our sins from the legal record that stands against us and writes with permanent ink "paid in full" (Galatians 3:10-14).

This is a wonderful truth to ponder daily (Psalms 103:1-3):

“Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,”

God Gives What Is Good

1 The Lord says, “All you who are thirsty, come and drink. Those of you who do not have money, come, buy and eat! Come buy wine and milk without money and without cost. 2 Why spend your money on something that is not real food? Why work for something that doesn’t really satisfy you? Listen closely to me, and you will eat what is good; your soul will enjoy the rich food that satisfies. 3 Come to me and listen; listen to me so you may live. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever. I will give you the blessings I promised to David. 4 I made David a witness of my power for all nations, a ruler and commander of many nations. 5 You will call for nations that you don’t yet know. And these nations that do not know you will run to you because of the Lord your God, because of the Holy One of Israel who honors you.”

6 So you should look for the Lord before it is too late; you should call to him while he is near. 7 The wicked should stop doing wrong, and they should stop their evil thoughts. They should return to the Lord so he may have mercy on them. They should come to our God, because he will freely forgive them.

8 The Lord says, “My thoughts are not like your thoughts. Your ways are not like my ways. 9 Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. 10 Rain and snow fall from the sky and don’t return without watering the ground. They cause the plants to sprout and grow, making seeds for the farmer and bread for the people. 11 The same thing is true of the words I speak. They will not return to me empty. They make the things happen that I want to happen, and they succeed in doing what I send them to do.

12 “So you will go out with joy and be led out in peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees in the fields will clap their hands. 13 Large cypress trees will grow where thornbushes were. Myrtle trees will grow where weeds were. These things will be a reminder of the Lord’s promise, and this reminder will never be destroyed.” — Isaiah 55 | New Century Version (NCV) The Holy Bible, New Century Version®.

Psalm 103

"1 I bless the holy name of YHWH-God with all my heart! 2 Yes, I will bless the LORD and not forget the glorious things He does for me!

"3 He forgives all my sins. He heals me. 4 He ransoms me from Hell. He surrounds me with loving-kindness and tender mercies. 5 He fills my life with good things! My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! 6 He gives justice to all who are treated unfairly. 7 He revealed His will and nature to Moses and the people of Israel.

"8 He is merciful and tender toward those who don’t deserve it; He is slow to get angry and full of kindness and love. 9 He never bears a grudge, nor remains angry forever. 10 He has not punished us as we deserve for all our sins, 11 for His mercy toward those who fear and honor Him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. 12 He has removed our sins as far away from us as the East is from the West. 13 He is like a Father to us, tender and sympathetic to those who reverence Him. 14 For He knows we are but dust 15 and that our days are few and brief, like grass, like flowers, 16 blown by the wind and gone forever.

"17-18 But the loving-kindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting to those who reverence him; His salvation is to children’s children of those who are faithful to his covenant and remember to obey Him!

"19 The LORD has made the heavens His throne; from there He rules over everything there is. 20 Bless the LORD, you mighty angels of His who carry out His orders, listening for each of His commands. 21 Yes, bless the LORD, you armies of His angels who serve Him constantly.

"22 Let everything everywhere bless the LORD! And how I bless Him too!"
