The Untouched Door

 I have lost strength through the years, the wind grabbing hold of what used to be.  Yet, the door to my soul remains untouched, all of the memories staying close to my heart.

STRENGTH

STRENGTH

You can only be as strong as you believe you are.

A BEAUTIFUL SHORE

A  journey along God’s shore will have the hurt feelings, raw emotions and wrong doings wash out to the vast sea. An unblemished mind is left behind, refreshed. The spirit gathers up strength once again, to live in God’s beauty.

TIME OUT

In this week of school exams, hectic shopping and rushing to get here and there, remember our Lord. Take a moment or two and spend time to pray and converse with Him. Listen to His words of wisdom and understanding. He will give you the strength and planning to carry you through, as well as His blessings!

The LORD'S spirit will rest upon him,a spirit of wisdom and understanding,a spirit of planning and strength. Isaiah 11:2 (Common English Bible)

NEVER GETTING FILLED

The soul gains wisdom, knowledge, love and strength each microsecond of the day. How magnificent it is, that no matter how much this embodiment absorbs, it never gets filled. Through eternity, the soul will hold our history, transcending down to the generations left behind. They will pick up this wisdom and love as they carry on a ritual used from the past, teach values they learned and live they faith as they were taught. New wisdom is gained, ready to be shared, never to be forgotten, in the generations to come.

GIFTS OF COURAGE

All it takes to have courage is a prayer to the Holy Spirit, to remind the self that yes, indeed, one has power, strength, faith, love and self-control, gifts bestowed upon us, ready to be used when needed! ~Marie T. Morrison~

EVERY CHANCE

For every chance of a temptation, there is also a chance of hope. All that is needed is faith. With faith comes God’s love. Feeling His love gives us the strength to continue on any spiritual journey given to us.

STRONG vs. WEAK

For every weakness we find, discover a strength. Likely, we will see that in every flaw found, it is the strong point of someone else. God has been masterful, to spread the wealth and the blemishes around. It is wise to see we are not perfect, It is a way to form a well-built community, using a mixture of talents working together. The challenges left behind, where difficulties exist, give moments to let the spirit and soul grow, turning to prayer for answers not yet known to us. No matter how tough it can get, giving up is not a choice. There is always room for growth, with new ideas planted, resulting in a new-found joy.

Endurance

     A favorite Bible passage of mine is Romans 5:3-5, "We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts, through the Holy Spirit, which has been given to us."
     It is hard to understand at times how we can rejoice in our sufferings.  I had a seven year old girl ask me why there had to be so much sadness in life. I did my best to explain to her how we get stronger every time something sad does happen to us. I said after knowing sadness, we do not take anything for granted in life. Rather we start seeing life as something very precious.
     It is a hard to understand this, no matter how young or old we are. We can only pray to God for strength to get us through our daily endeavors. It is not easy.  But, we must remember we have not been abandoned; the Holy Spirit is there, providing us with love and care. His power of love and care is beyond words. It is up to us to accept what He provides, as we continue to go about facing what each day brings.
