Love Is Still Lifting Me

 Romans 8:28 - King James Version

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Love is still lifting me. "When nothing else could help it was love that lifted me."  Yesterday, the Lord blessed me to see another birthday.  It was a spectacular day.  Love marked the day.  A milestone year.  One of my daughters asked me if I felt  any different.  Other years, I would say, "No not really."  This time was different.  I feel different.  

Physically, I need to address some things.  New health challenges surfaced several weeks ago.  I was startled at first. But, love is still lifting me.  The hymn writer expressed: "I could have been dead sleeping in my grave but the Lord made my enemies behave." Love is still lifting me. The years have taught me so much.  I am still resting in the vanity room where as a woman I am not telling everyone my age. (smile) But the difference is I am truly grateful for each and every year.  I would imagine that one day sooner or later my mind will step out of the vanity room to the right here right now place of "the Lord has brought me this _____ years" and I don't mind telling it.

Mentally.  Love is still lifting me.  My thoughts each day go to "grateful, thankful, blessed" and this is no cliché.  I am so grateful to God. I am very thankful for the Lord's presence in my life. I am exceedingly, abundantly blessed.

Emotionally, love is still lifting me.  Things that used to bother me and cause sleepless nights have been overshadowed by the "whatsoever things."  Thinking about the pure, the good, the praiseworthy has become the rule and not the exception.

"I was sinking deep in sin.  I was far from the peaceful shore.  Very deeply I was stained within. sinking to rise no more.  But, the Master of the Sea heard my despairing cry. From the waters He lifted me. Now safe am I.  Love lifted me.  Love lifted me.  When nothing else could help, love lifted me.  I say it was love that lifted me. Love, it lifted me.  When nothing else could help, I declare it was love that lifted me."

I praise God today.  Love, is still lifting, me.

God bless!

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
