Not one drop of Love-Blood that you shed in obedience to Me will be wasted. Not one second you spend on My altar will be in vain. When I lead you to the cross I will not give you more than you can bear. You will not remain one second longer than you can bear. You also will not be there alone . . . I will be there with you, understanding the pressure and suffering while carrying you through. Deuteronomy 31:8 The LORD is the One who will go before you.m He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you.n Do not be afraid or discouraged. Isaiah 41:10-13 Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand 1 Peter 5:7 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you. 7 Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you Matthew 6:3 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.… Romans 12:1 1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship

Trust My Love for you

Do not be offended with My dealings with you. Do I not know all things, including how to reshape your spirit? Be careful of the dark spirit of offense. Bind him and cast him out. Do not meditate on your opinion of My tools with which I shape you. Just be humble and still before Me. Trust My Love for you. Proverbs 3:12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights. Job 5:17, 1 Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole. Philippians 2:12-13: “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.” Hebrews 12:6, 7 For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives. If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

I keep My promises

I make this new day brand new in all things . . . including your spirit . . . if you do not return to the day before. You will have new strength and new thoughts and new perceptions. Remember to only move forward while releasing yesterday. Revelation 21:5 And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.” Philippians 3:13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have laid hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.…

Come into My Rest

When the day closes, give to Me all the memories of that day, both good and bad. Give Me your struggles, pain and cares. Rest your spirit in My Arms by faith. Turn all your attention to Me within you. Relax and enter My rest. Let go of everything. When you awake, do not try to recall the hardships of the day before. Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. Isaiah 41:13 For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you. Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Matthew 11:28-29 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 6 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 1 Peter 5:7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Suffering, the path to intimacy

Jagged rocks can be dangerous. But jagged rocks can be smoothed into delightful stones suitable for many uses when My whitewater of trials and suffering pound away at them. Humbly thank Me for the pain. Accept the pounding water on your soul as a good gift from Me. Be still and quiet before Me and My will. Trust and submit to Me and I will not only make you smooth but I will make you shine! James 1:2 Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. 5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him

Love Bombs

/ Leave a Comment / Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , , , , ,

Continue to throw bombs of Love . . . acts of kindness, gifts of affection and blessing . . .  at those difficult ones. Throw many Love bombs during times of suffering, persecution, and offense. Love bombs are so powerful that they work on both the target and the thrower. Both hearts are changed with each throw. Truth becomes more clear with each hit. Humility replaces pride with each explosion . . . for both the target and the thrower. Keep those Love bombs going. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this that someone lay down his life for his friends. 1 John 4:19 we love because he first loved us. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 1 John 3:16 22 by this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 1 Peter 4:8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses. 1 John 4:20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 2 Corinthians 13:4 For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God.

Be Still, Listen, and Follow Me

Assumptions will lead you down the wrong path to confusion and dark places. Work hard to stay humbly behind Me. You are a blind sheep in training. I Am a patient Shepherd. We will begin again. Listen to My Voice and pay attention to My gentle leadings. There is no condemnation. Just open your heart to humbly learn. It is a process. I Love you! Isaiah 40:10-11 10 Behold, the Lord GOD comes with might, and His arm establishes His rule. His reward is with Him, and His recompense accompanies Him. 11 He tends His flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart. He gently leads the nursing ewes. Psalm 100:3 Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Micah 5:4 He will stand and shepherd His flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majestic name of the LORD His God. And they will dwell securely, for then His greatness will extend to the ends of the earth. Proverbs 3:1-10 Good friend, don’t forget all I’ve taught you; take to heart my commands. They’ll help you live a long, long time, a long life lived full and well. Don’t lose your grip on Love and Loyalty.Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart.Earn a reputation for living well in God’s eyes and the eyes of the people.Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil!

Do Not Assume

Assuming is leaning on your own understanding. I cannot direct your path and you will not follow Me when you assume anything about others or the past or the future. Do not assume. When you assume you know where I Am going you are run ahead of Me. How can you follow Me if you do not remain behind Me? Follow Me and I will lead you to green pastures and still waters. John 10:27 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me . . . Proverbs 3:5 5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
