....'ourselves of all that fills us,
so that we may be filled with what we are
empty of.'

| clearly His hand is in this...Luke 1:66 MSG |
notes...
a gust of wind, and then the rain,
so I moved everything in again
cushions and quilt thrown on the floor
breathing in the moment through an open door

Beautiful reminders this morning...

His ways are higher
and He is capable of all you need
pursue a righteous life-
a life of wonder, faith, love,
steadiness & courtesy
seize the eternal life
..listen to the wind words
His heart is full of unfailing LOVE
for you
you can relax and enjoy His presence
since you know He is taking care of you
your tendency to be anxious
grieves Him
awareness of His pain can motivate you
to break free from this hurtful habit
He is showing you the way
one foot at a time
Luke 1:79 MSG
surprise us with love at daybreak;
then we'll skip and dance all day long
Ps. 90:14 MSG
walk right up to Him
and get what He is so ready to give.
Take the mercy & accept His help
He will take care of everything you need
He wants you to obey Him out of Love,
Joy, & Gratefulness-
not out of obligation
He wants to pour Himself into you
and shine through you
and give you a genuine Love
His purpose is never to break your spirit
or cause you pain
there is always a positive, crucial
eternal purpose in struggles
He works all the details together
for the good to those who love Him
you may not be at fault for what has happened to you
but you are accountable for your response to it
be well...

"So whatever you experience & however broken you
may feel because of the trials that assail you,
always remember that I have a blessing in store for you.
Never give in to the thought that this is the end
or that there's a limit to My ability to redeem
even the worst, most pain-filled experiences
in your life & turn them into something worthwhile.
Accept that I know your pain,
I am powerful,
I love you unconditionally,
and I work in the unseen for you. "
~Jesus~
"When you speak to yourself, be more like a cool breeze
and less like a furnace of judgement.
Give yourself love and accept yourself exactly as you are.
Honor the journey you've been on with acceptance and appreciation.
As you wake up, think about all the things you have
accomplished.
Give yourself gratitude and love.
When you slow down to recognize who and what you are,
acceptance comes in like a breeze,
making everything better."
~Sunrise Gratitude~
