Luke 12: 11-12 And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how or what you are to answer or what you are to say; for the Holy Spirit will teach you that very hour what you ought to say.

We are all called to spread the gospel to those we meet. It can be done in many different ways, even without words. Our actions, love and support can all be an inspiration to someone to learn about and experience the love of God. Sometimes you may be confronted with questions about your faith and you may feel you don’t have all the answers. If you are ever faced with that situation, pause and pray a silent prayer inside and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and make your words, His words. Just open your mouth, start talking and He will never fail you, especially when you start out with,”Come Holy Spirit”. He will always be there at your side to guide you through any situation!

~COME HOLY SPIRIT~

Jeremiah 15:16: “Your words were found, and I devoured them.
Your words are my joy and my heart’s delight,
because I am called by your name, O Lord God of Armies”.

I love this verse in Jeremiah as it truly describes how I feel when I get lost in scripture and listen to God speak to me. There are times when I don’t want to stop reading because God’s words truly become the joy of my heart. When I feel down or lost and confused about the trials in life, I turn to scripture to find my answers and every time I take the time to visit with God, the Holy Spirit always leads me to just what I need at each and every moment. I encourage you all to lean on God when you are in need of his guidance and love so you too can be brought to the same comfort and peace!

“Lord, be my light, my strength, my inspiration. Make me more like you. I want my words and actions to reflect your light. I want my life to be a lighthouse guiding others through life’s storms to the safe harbor of your love”~ From, “The Better Part”, by John Bartunek~

How amazing it would be to know that our actions and examples could be just what someone needed to guide them through a troubled time to the safe harbor of God’s love. Let’s make that our new goal to always be aware of our words and actions and pray that they will always reflect God’s light!

~My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in your weakness~ 2 Cor 12:9

As I was contemplating today, this verse spoke to me as my treasure from God for the day. Whenever you feel weak and you don’t think you can make it through whatever your current circumstance may be, rest assure that God will always be with you. Even if you don’t feel his presence, he WILL give you the strength to endure.

~Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ~Phil 4:8

If you feel the need to change your thoughts, this is one of my favorite verses to change my state of focus. It helps to redirect my thoughts to look for the good and focus on words that lift me up!!! It’s a great verse to memorize to keep tucked away in your heart to turn to for comfort and a fresh new shiny focus!!!! Write it on an index card or store it in your notes on your phone for a quick and easy reference!!! Hope you all have a happy day filled with lots of positive focus!!!!
