Joy... I Cannot Explain

 1 Peter 1:7-8

7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

I feel good.  I have joy down in my soul I cannot explain.  Unspeakable, this joy.  The sun is shining.  It is a clear day although cold.  The tree branches are waving.  Even though the leaves have departed for a season, the trees are still clapping their hands and rejoicing.  I believe the trees are feeling good!  Through the snow, there are little glimpses of grass.  Grass being fertilized under the snow.  The grass is feeling good. It knows that by and by it will return to its glory.  

Unspeakable joy.  Joy that prevails even through the hard times.  Joy that blossoms in the good times.  I cannot explain it.  I just feel good.  Alive, present and accounted for in a brand-new day.  Troubles exist but they do not consume.  They cannot erase this joy.  It is unspeakable.  Joy, real joy is given by God.  Joy, real joy is sealed by Christ.  Joy, real joy, is sustained by the Holy Ghost.  

Feeling good.  Feeling good right now.  I have joy down in my soul I cannot explain.  Unspeakable joy.  Glory!

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
