2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NLT

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

As a child of God we are assured of such great and wonderful things in the future. The little things of today are not anything compared to the glories that are coming.  

Ephesians 1:3-11 NLT

WOW......  I can hardly imagine this.  He, God, loved me before the world began and He adopted me into His family.  I am holy and without fault in His eyes.........  me?????  I know me on the inside.  How can He not see the mess?

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. ⁴ Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. ⁵ God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. ⁶ So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. ⁷ He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. ⁸ He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.
 ⁹ God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure. ¹⁰ And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. ¹¹ Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God,  for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.


How great is our God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give thanks in the small things

Dietrich Bonhoeffer talks in Life together about small things. 

“We prevent God from giving us the great spiritual gifts He has in store for us, because we do not give thanks for the daily gifts.

            We think we dare not be satisfied with the small measure of spiritual knowledge, experience, and love that has been given to us, and that we must constantly be looking forward eagerly for the highest good.  Then we deplore the fact that we lack the deep certainty, the strong faith, and the rich experience that God has given to others, and we consider this lament to be pious…. 

            Only he who gives thanks for the little things receives the big things.” 

1 Thessalonians 5:18 New Living Translation (©2007) Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

GOD IS....

GOD IS….  Omniscient

GOD IS….  Omnipresent

GOD IS….  Omnipotent

Because God Is Omniscient (all knowing) He knows all about you and your problems.

Because God is Omnipresent (is everywhere) there is no where you can go from His loving care.

Because God is Omnipotent (all Powerful) He will care for every need you have.   

If you are a child of God, He has promised to care for you in every way and all the time no matter where you are.  Trust Him alone.  Only God is worthy.   

Before you speak........

Before you speak ask yourself…..

        Is it true?  Check the source. 

        Is it confidential?  If so bury it.

        Is it kind?  Will it build up another?

        Is it necessary?
