HOPE

GRACE

God will make you fit for what he's called you to be...he'll fill your good ideas and acts of faith with his own energy so that it all amounts to something.. If your life honors the name of Jesus, he will honor you.  Grace is behind and through all of this, giving himself freely.  2 Thessalonians 11:12

LOVE

Let's practice real love.  This is the only way we"lll know we're living truly, living in God's reality.  It's also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism...For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.  And friends, once that's taken care of and we're no longer accusing or condemning ourselves, we're bold and free before  God!
                    John 3:18-21  THE MESSAGE

WORRY

Don't fret or worry.  Instead of worrying, pray.  Let petitions and patience shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.  Before you know it, a sense of God's  wholeness, everything coming together for good,  will come and settle you down.  It's wonderful what happens when God displaces  worry at the center of yourlife.Phillippians 4:6,7   THE MESSAGE
