In this life there are many trials, tribulations, and hardships. Without God at the helm, we find ourselves at a loss for hope and peace that fills us and gives us something to live for. This blog is a place for me to share the hope God gives me despite the circumstances I face and to extend that hope and love to others. May it be an inspiration and blessing to your heart!
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation.
But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.
Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed,
for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9
Little children, you are from God and have overcome them,
for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
1 John 4:4
This hope we have as an anchor for the soul, both sure and steadfast,
and which enters the Presence behind the veil,
where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus,
having become the High Priest forever, according to the order of Malchizedek.
~ Hebrews 6:19-20
Glimmering in the reflection of sunlight
Momentarily resting gently at the dock
Tattered yet sea worthy
This boat sits dented and dirty
Storms of chaos pass through
Winds of trials toss it to and fro
Waves of temptation crash over it
Tides of life rise
Trying to consume
Gales of worldly wind seek to destroy
Yet still it remains tethered to the dock
Anchored in Christ redeeming blood
Securely resting in the Lord
He will set the course
Sailing the ebb and flow of His love
Navigating through the harshest storms
This boat will endure the waves of life
Seems that when it rains, it pours! Just as my clouds begin to clear, I find that others around me are struggling greatly. Some are dealing with losing their homes, others facing severe illnesses, and still others are facing marriage problems and financial hardships. In this life, the trials just keep coming and striking blows harder than we can often handle. But alas, God walks through all the storms of life with us, keeping us in the palm of his hands, holding us tight and filling us with love and peace deep in our souls.
It is imperative that you remember and hold tight to the knowledge that with the joy of Christ in your heart, you can be an overcomer, residing in his strength to see you through and his wisdom to direct your steps. God bless and keep you always my friends ❤
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!!
~ Philippians 413
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being…
~ Ephesians 3:16
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
~ 2 Corinthians 12:9
