You Alone Are Lord

Let Everything That Has Breath


He Alone Is Worthy To worship and adore. The Lamb of God, Victorious. Our risen Lord. He purchased our redemption. He is our righteousness. Exalt the name of Jesus for only He is worthy!

I'll Be Back

Isaiah 9
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.

Psalm 80:17-19

Give Thanks To The Lord

Psalm 136
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever.
To him who alone does great wonders, His love endures forever.
Who by his understanding made the heavens, His love endures forever.
Who spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures forever.
Who made the great lights—His love endures forever.
The sun to govern the day, His love endures forever.
The moon and stars to govern the night; His love endures forever.

The Word of God



Matthew 12:36-37 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Smile

 

You are strong when you take your grief and teach it to smile.
You are brave when you overcome your fear and help others to do the same.
You are happy when you see a flower and are thankful for the blessing.
You are loving when your own pain does not blind you to the pain of others.
You are wise when you know the limits of your wisdom.
You are true when you admit there are times you fool yourself.
You are alive when tomorrow’s hope means more to you than yesterday’s mistake.
You are growing when you know what you are but not what you will become.
You are free when you are in control of yourself and do not wish to control others.
You are honourable when you find your honour is to honour others.
You are generous when you can take as sweetly as you can give.
You are humble when you do not know how humble you are.
You are thoughtful when you see me just as I am and treat me just as you are.
You are merciful when you forgive in others the faults you condemn in yourself.
You are beautiful when you don’t need a mirror to tell you.
You are rich when you never need more than what you have.
You are you when you are at peace with who you are not... You It's You...................

The Mercy of God


Romans 9:15-16 “I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.” So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it.

A Living Sacrifice


Romans 12:1-2 A Living Sacrifice to God
Dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Amazing Grace



Hebrews 4:16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Jesus Loves Me


How deep must be the love which makes the Lord weep over sinners, and like a mother seeks his children to his bosom! Surely at the call of such a cry our willing hearts will come. IF ANY MAN THIRST, LET HIM COME UNTO ME AND DRINK.

Charles Spurgeon

In heaven they are secure, and here we are we preserved in Christ Jesus; there they triumph over their enemies, and we have victories too. Celestial spirits enjoy communion with their Lord, and this is not denied to us; they rest in his love, and we have perfect peace in Him: they sing his praise, and it is our privilege to bless Him too. This year we will gather celestial fruits on earthly ground, where faith and hope have made the desert like the garden of the Lord. Man ate angels' food of old, and why not now? We have grace to feed on Jesus, and eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan this year! Charles Spurgeon

Believe

Holy Spirit, fill our cups until they overflow, minister to our spirits, give us an overwhelming revelation of God's love, power, and direction, and lead our hearts into Jesus’ love, and perseverance. Lord spread Your protection over we who love You, that we may rejoice in You. Give us peace as we trust in You. Teach us to be patient, and wait for only YOUR WILL to be done in our lives. Thank You for the host of blessings You bestow upon us. Thank You for our sight, hearing, ability to walk, and for healing our bodies and minds. You are forgiving, understanding, and You love us so much You keep blessing us, though we stumble and falter, and don’t always hear Your voice. Father, we love You, adore You, and praise Jesus' Holy, precious, name. Amen

United With Christ


Ephesians 1:3-8 Spiritual Blessings
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. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. 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. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.

God's Hands


Casting all your care upon Him; for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 It is a happy way of soothing sorrow when we can feel--"HE cares for me." Christian! do not dishonour religion by always wearing a brow of care; come, cast your burden upon your Lord. You are staggering beneath a weight which your Father would not feel. What seems to you a crushing burden, would be to Him but as the small dust of the balance. Nothing is so sweet as to "Lie passive in God's hands, And know no will but His." Charles Spurgeon

God Cares For Us


If you are part of God's family, He will supply all your needs. He will heal your wounds, and your broken heart. Do not doubt His grace and mercy because of your trials and tribulations. He loves you as much in times of trouble as in times of happiness. You can have a tranquil quiet life if you leave providing to Him! If God loves and cares for you, why do you need to care too? Can you trust him for your soul, but not your body? He has never refused to bear your burdens, He has never fainted under their weight. Then entrust all your concerns to the hand of our gracious God. He will provide all you need.

Bread Of Life









Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever be hungry again. Those who believe in me will never thirst. But you haven't believed in me even though you have seen me. However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them. For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do what I want. And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them to eternal life at the last day. For it is my Father's will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life -- that I should raise them at the last day." John 6:35-40

King Jesus


Father we can do no good until Your Spirit, according to Your sovereign will, begins to move upon lives and hearts. If not for Your grace, not one of us would be saved. There are none who seek You, and really want to be holy, right, and true, except Your Spirit first breathes upon them, and creates the desire in them. Jesus help us remember the extraordinary process involved when one calls upon Your name, asking for salvation. Your birth at Bethlehem; the anguish, darkness, and mystery of the cross; the wonder and miracle of the resurrection; and the sending forth of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The process behind every call upon Your precious name, You arranged, and are behind it all. Every word, thought and movement is designed by You.

God's Peace


Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

God's Hands

Ephesians 1:8-10 He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure. 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.

Tapestry


Matthew 22:14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.” Have you had a life full of trials and tribulations? Do you know that those who are chosen of God have to be tried by the fire? If you read "The Tapestry" in the photo you will understand why.
