Blessed

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. — Psalms 32:1 (NKJV) Not a single person on earth is always good and never sins. (Ecclesiastes 7:20 NLT) “But I did find this: God created people to be virtuous, but they have each turned to follow their own downward path.” (Ecclesiastes 7:29) “God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him. (Acts 17:30 NLT) Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. (Acts 3:19 NLT)  We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. (Romans 3:22-24 NLT)

(Psalm 103:3-5 VOICE) Remember that God, the Most High, is our Rock, our Redeemer. Always remember the wonderful works He has done.

Freely Give

Image
Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over [with no space left for more]. For with the standard of measurement you use [when you do good to others], it will be measured to you in return.” — Luke 6:38 (AMP) Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.  (James 1:17 NASB) God continually pours out His love upon us. He gives us His peace and grace. He forgives us and sets us free. As God has freely given to us, let us give freely to others.

Lift Up Your Eyes

Image
I will lift up my eyes to the hills— from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. — Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV) Lift up your eyes. Look to the LORD, our Helper. Every tool of the enemy is designed to get us to take our eyes off the LORD. He uses fear, discouragement, condemnation and shame to draw our attention away from the God who loves us, forgives us and empowers us to do all things. Keep your eyes on the LORD and rely on Him, in all situations. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces (Psalm 34:5 NLT).

The Same

Image
“For I am the LORD, I do not change…” — Malachi 3:6 (NKJV) While the world is constantly changing, we have stability in the LORD. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Jesus forgives, He saves and He heals. Jesus is forever faithful and a constant companion, full of compassion and love. The uncertainty of present day events is like shifting sand, but we have a strong foundation in the LORD. As long as we build our lives on Him, what we do in Him and for Him will last through life’s major upheavals. When the going gets tough, remember, you can count on God. He is always there for you, never to leave you nor abandon you.

Compassions that Never Fail

Our heavenly Father is able to keep us from stumbling (Jude 1:24). God arms us with strength, and makes our way perfect (Psalm 18:32 NKJV). Praise the living God!
