Change Is As Good As A Holiday... Right?

Well... that's is what they say. Thought i'd take this opportunity (home from work with a migraine) to refresh my blog. Still needs a bit of tweaking so I can... fall in love with it!

52 Days Of Wisdom {TD Jakes}

52 Days of Wisdom - Day 26: When times are tough you need more spiritual and emotional support. Focus on overlooked pleasures and enjoy the simple beauty found in life’s little pleasures, for example, the joy of grandchildren, the beauty of sunsets, walks in the park, reading a book, an outdoor concert, the presence of friends and the joy of families eating together.

Happy Valentines Day

1 Corinthians 13 {The Message}

The Way of Love

¹ If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. ²If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. ^3-7If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.

Love cares more for others than for self.

Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.

Love doesn't strut,

Doesn't have a swelled head,

Doesn't force itself on others,

Isn't always "me first,"

Doesn't fly off the handle,

Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,

Doesn't revel when others grovel,

Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,

Puts up with anything,

Trusts God always,

Always looks for the best,

Never looks back,

But keeps going to the end.

^8-10Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled.

¹¹When I was an infant at my mother's breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good.

¹²We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!

¹³But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.

{It's A New Day}

Lamentations 3v22 {NIV}

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,

for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;

therefore I will wait for him.”

Lamentations 3v22 {Message}

God's loyal love couldn't have run out,
his merciful love couldn't have dried up.
They're created new every morning.
How great your faithfulness!
I'm sticking with God (I say it over and over).
He's all I've got left.

I am so thankful that his mercies are new every morning. God's compassion never fails. GOD IS FAITHFUL! I pray that this revelation is embedded in my heart... I pray that it overrides fear, failures, hurt and injustice. It's a New Day... Let's see what I can do with it, with HIM!
