Isaiah 64:8 (ESV)O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, & you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand. Jer 29:11  For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare & not for evil, to give you a future & a hope. Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Psalm 100:3 Know that the Lord, He is God! It is He who made us…2 Cor4:7 We have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God & not to us. —In this world, we are all broken vessels that leak! To remain full we must stay continuously under the flow of the father! Remember He has plans for us & they are good! We need only walk in them, for IT IS HIS surpassing power that in the hands of the potter brings forth the most beautiful vessel crack free! This is our HOPE! Love Mel

Psalm 57:5 (ESV)Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth. Prov 29:25 The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. Prov 12:25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down… Psalm 37:8 Refrain from anger, & forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. Ez36:26 I will give you a new heart, & a new spirit I will put within you.  I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh & give you a heart of flesh. —Is your worship being replaced by worry? What if every time you start to worry you turn it into a conversation with God! Worry opens the door to the enemy! Fear, anxiety, anger, bitterness etc invites the enemy in! Shut that door spend more time praising Him & watch things begin to change! These fears, angers etc robs us of His peace & joy! & has the ability to turn our hearts to stone! Let it go! Open your hearts for Him to fill it up with His Love! You will be so glad you did! Love Mel

Rom 8:6 (BLB) For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit, life & peace. Isaiah 32:17 (ESV) The effect of righteousness will be peace, & the result of righteousness, quietness & trust forever. Rom 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating & drinking but of righteousness & peace & joy in the Holy Spirit. Psalm 145:18 The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.—For He tells us in 3John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. — Joy satisfies the heart in a way that temporary happiness never can. The joy of the Lord fills our heart in a way nothing else can. The truth is He Loves us in a way that no other can. He has our picture on His mantel! 🥰Love Mel

John13:3-5 (ESV) Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, & that he had come from God & was going back to God, rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, & taking a towel, tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin & began to wash the disciples’ feet & to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.— This scripture shows us Jesus was focused on where he was going & not on what he was going to go thru (the cross). God says to focus on His truth for it sets us free! We must always recalibrate our thoughts to the things that are righteous & good! Serving others brings us closer to God! Love Mel

Luke 10:17-20(ESV) The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents, scorpions, & over all the power of the enemy, & nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” — All victories are possible because of His Name! We must beware of spiritual pride, this is where our downfall comes in! We must remember that He resists the proud & gives grace to the humble! And the best of all is that our names are written in heaven! REJOICE, Sing Praises! Love Mel
