John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you; my peace I
give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your
hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
~
I know there are many troubled hearts in the world, I know some of them personally.
This morning started off with a message from a High School friend who short of a miracle is nearing the end of her life on this earth. She has fought a good fight with an incredible attitude and spirit. Cancer may win this fight but she has eternity of perfect health~
Some struggle with new beginnings, attempting to find a new normal for themselves.
Some are trying to remain hopeful when their self is sometimes tempted to doubt, to allow their faith to be nudged by fear..
Some live without hope of tomorrow and see no way out of the pit they are living in.
My Encouragement for them is, there is One bigger than You and your circumstance.
He gives peace to the weary, hope to the hopeless, strength to the weak.
Just believe and trust Him.
~
Peace is not as simple as the absence of fear. Peace is a person.
He said He would never leave us. We let our hearts become troubled when
we forget that He is with us.

Hoping today and everyday you will each encourage those who cross your path. It's not always apparent when someone needs and encouraging word. It's what echos from my heart today ~
You always post the best things. :)
ReplyDeleteThe older I get, the less afraid I am. As I look back over my life and the challenges it brought, I see in every instance how God came in and got me through. Now, people wonder how I can be so positive, calm and happy when I am financially destitute. It is only because I know God is taking care of me and will continue to do so--as he has all my life.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful and encouraging post, sweet Debi. I always love your words, and they strike a chord every time. That is one of my most favorite ever verses!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're still improving and letting Hubstir help you out. :)

ReplyDeleteYes, what an encouraging post and such truth that we can never be reminded of too often. Hope that shoulder is continuing to do well! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, and hoping you're still healing.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you, Debi.

I am working on not forgetting that "God has a plan and I trust Him." and also that "nothing happens that doesn't pass through His hands first." This has been keeping me encouraged through some of the rough things my family is dealing with right now.
