Picking Up The Pieces

Oh yes, He mends, He repairs, He restores and yes, He breaks, but only to remold a stronger character and spiritual maturity within our beautiful souls. Sometimes the break is just in two and sometimes it’s a fragmented heap of debris and ashes left at our feet. But He does care and He is there for the fix ~ the divine fix that goes right to the heart and the deep root of the problem and begins to heal the valuable groundwork of our brokenness. It’s not just a band-aid that God uses to make it all better but He reaches down with a love that’s so unconditional it can make us blush deep within our undeserving selves. He reaches down with an amazing grace beyond our comprehension and a rich mercy going beyond anything we can fathom. Why us? Why Me? But He does! He goes all the way beyond the call of duty to take compassion on us in our heaps of trouble and fragmented broken spirits. Why Us? Why Me? Simply because we’re valuable to Him and He cares. Allow Him to pick up the remains and fashion them back together in a beautiful, brilliant way ~ soothed and saturated with the oil of His healing, filling and cushioning all the jagged edges of all the shattered pieces! Oh that healing oil of grace is a beautiful thing to the one in need. Reach out for it today and accept it, if it’s what you need to make your beautiful soul more beautiful ~ more strong ~ more healed ~ more loved. He’s got you today, beyond the brokenness of the cross and back again. Take Him up on it!

Wrapped Up Tightly

Oh don’t we all need a big heap of God’s love today? Just to wrap us up tightly and carry us over the rough spots that come along. All the things hoped for seem to transfer to the back burner while things not hoped for nor even asked for come a calling. Yeah, the enemy can throw some pretty difficult stuff into our pathway and it keeps us on our toes for sure and make us wonder how we’ll make it through; but remember, our faithful God is so faithful and walks the same road with us. He’s rich in mercy! He’s compassionate in care, and perfect in love. His eye is on you and You are highly favoured in His economy. He heals! He mends! He repairs and He protects and that’s what we need today for sure. Yeah, just one big heap of it all to take it’s place right in our midst and give us a springboard to propel us on for His glory! So, beautiful soul, whatever has you down ~ whatever has come a calling that wasn’t asked for, you might not realize it yet, but it’s been perfected just for you and customized just for your needs today. He’s got it. Enjoy God’s faithfulness through it and let Him direct your path. Be blessed under His divine protection through the testing time and watch His miracles unfold.

So, you’ve got a lot on your mind this day and as it draws to a close you wonder, Why this? Why now? What more? ~ and sometimes it seems like all the stuff will never end. Like it will never close the door behind it for good and let you move on. But then, move on to what? There will always be something just waiting for your next journey of spiritual growth. They’re hard times ~ those growth journeys. They’re times of struggle and fear and insecurity and doubt! Oh yes, the doubt is so very real so much of the time on these journeys. These difficult times ~ they just come with the the territory of life itself, and you can know, beautiful soul, that you are beautiful indeed even now, and God cares. He does! Without doubt you can know that He will walk you through it all, whatever it is that torments you today. He went all the way to cross to show that He cares and He won’t let you go now, not ever for a second. He’s got a whole lot of mercy to give and so He does! He formed the mountains and called creation into order. He quiets the raging oceans, so He can quiet your anguished heart. Allow Him to speak peace into the storm of your soul and bring sweet comfort into your fear.

“You faithfully answer our prayer with awesome deeds…..You formed the mountains by Your power and armed Yourself with mighty strength. You quieted the raging oceans…. Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your Wonders….You soften the earth with showers….You crown the year with a bountiful harvest. Even the hard pathways overflow with abundance.”
Psalm 65: 5a, 6, 7a, 10b, 11

Invisible You?

280791_10150737273850637_5169099_o

You work so hard to do the right thing and just difficult stuff, or maybe just move through the good but the ho hum, humdrum of daily chores, yet you blend in with the wallpaper, or worse yet, you just seem to vanish into a hub of busy nothingness.  And sometimes the wall paper is just torn off for new! So what then? You’ve definitely faded from view, invisible to all within your circle of influence and there you are, very much real and yet very much invisible in your very much reality world. Oh, yeah, maybe you’ve just talked to the wall and your point didn’t make it past the baseboard. You feel invisible! Your words aren’t heard and your voice falls on deaf ears.

You’ve just done what you knew to be right only to be left questioning if it truly was.

Sometimes others have a way of taking us to the depths of rock bottom by what they say and don’t say, and in our insecurity they can leave us questioning our own goals and motivation. Don’t go there! Don’t let others escort you to the depths of despair when it’s God’s desire to usher you into new heights! He knows you! He knows your name! He understands your heart. Your name is written on His and engraved over the nail print of His hand. That’s true commitment! God loves you to the cross and back. You know it! That’s all you need to know to make it through your invisible day! To Him, you’re awesome! To Him ~ valuable ~ very visible and He’s so delighted that you work for Him. So all that garbage stuff and all that “Out of sight” stuff, drop it off at the recycle bin and watch God pick it up and make it valuable after all, ‘cuz, beautiful soul, you are worth the world in His eyes! You are so worthy of His rich love and His endless mercy! Allow Him to keep you safe in His fortress in the insecurities of it all; Protected under His wing! Loved in His love! Saturated in His grace and healed under His divine supervision and care.

“Can a corrupt stone be allied with you–one that brings on misery by it’s decrees? They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God, the Rock in whom I take refuge……..Psalm 94: 20 – 22…..”For the Lord is a great God, the great King above all gods. In His hand our the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him.The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land. Come let us bow down in worship…Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care.”
Psalm 95: 3 -7
