Psalm 46:10 “Be still & know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.” — We need only be still, calm trusting in God & Him alone. For He works on our behalf, when we let Him! This trust is one of the hardest thing to do! But if we can ever get it, we will find His rest! — Hebr 4:10 For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. —Have you ever had a plant that you failed to water or one that you watered too much! This is what constant worry does, it kills by its very nature! When we put it in His hands then rest, we have the opportunity for some of the most remarkable outcomes we have ever experienced! God loves us & is waiting patiently for us to call! Love Mel

1 Sam 17:37 David added, “The LORD, who delivered me from the claws of the lion & of the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.”… Dan 3:17 If the God whom we serve exists, then He is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace & from your hand, O king.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; & through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, & the flame shall not consume you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. —Our God Delivers! Love Mel

Romans 3:22-24 Righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction, for all have sinned & fall short of the glory of God, & are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. —How many have sinned? ALL!  What is the price? Death! The price has been paid by Christ Jesus! —Rev 1:18 The living one. I died, & behold I am alive forevermore, & I have the keys of Death & Hades. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. — Eternal Life is a free gift! It is worth more than rubies & gold! We need only accept! — Matt 19:20-22 “All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?” Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions & give to the poor, & you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.” When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth. — We need only give up our sins! Are you willing to let go of the strongholds in your life? Let go & let God handle the sin issue, because He always overcomes! And thru Him we can too! —Matt 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Love Mel

Reconciliation & Forgiveness are not the same! Reconciliation takes both parties & Forgiveness only takes the forgiver! — 2 Cor 5:18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to Himself & gave us the ministry of reconciliation. — We have been reconciled to God By Christ Jesus! —Romans 5:10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. Col 1:20 Through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross. Hebr 12:14 Strive for peace with everyone, & for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. — Our Striving For Peace & Holiness sounds hard! — Q: C. S. Lewis says that, “the way God works in us and changes us now is making us fit for heaven, preparing us to enjoy what heaven is like. That change is the growth in holiness that Paul describes as our “ever-increasing glory” (NIV), or as our being “changed […] from glory to glory” (KJV).” — It is way easier one bite at a time, one step at a time or one day at a time! Just make the most of each move! Love Mel
