faith – Page 4 – A Joyful Mission

“What do you have to lose?”

Unfortunately, trauma happens to ALL of us in some form or fashion. God is the one who loves us and guides us when we are searching for answers to the why. You have nothing to lose when you reach for God in the midst of your pain.

Stepping Out In Faith

“It only takes a spark to get a fire going.” was a song that we used to sing frequently at my church as I was growing up. Make that your reality. Be brave and step out in faith and be the spark that may lead others to God.

“I forgive him.”

Forgiveness for being wronged is the best gift that we can give-for ourselves and for others. Yes, we sometimes need to speak hard and honest words to others but it should NEVER be to hurt them but to help bring them closer to God.

With a Thankful Heart

Being thankful means giving God the reins and trusting Him to get us to where He needs us to be. Is that easy? No, not at all! By being thankful, instead of constantly worried about things that I cannot control, I’m also trusting Him to get me where He knows that I will do the most good.

A Daily Dose of Gratitude

It’s so important to remember to be thankful in the small things that tend to get overlooked when we are dealing with the big things that are happening to us, within us and around us. Those daily little doses of gratitude may and can end up being just the medicine that you needed to get through.

Jehovah Rohi-Name of God

The Lord is my Shepherd who cares for us, guides us and protects us from harm. Knowing all of that? I know that I am a better person because I know that He loves me! Will you walk with the Shepherd and care for His flock, too?

“My peace I give you”

Don’t let the worries of this world bring you down! Keep your eyes focused on Him, no matter what…. that is what it means to have peace.

Only God….

Only God sees us in ALL of our many issues, from the least to the largest. Can’t we, at least, do the same with others?

Look Up!

When we are worried about our past and anxious about the world, that is the time to look up to God. Give all of those things to Him. Remember the song, “He’s got the whole world in His hands!” Trust in God to give you what you need!
