LIFE

Life is the movie you see with your own eyes.  It makes little difference what's happening out there.  It's how you take it that counts.  Denis WaitleyInverted watercolor print by Kay Kindall 

STRENGTH

My grace is enough for you.  When you are weak, my power is made strong in you.  2 Corinthians 12:9

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

"Embrace the ordinary with enchantment."

PEACE

He makes me lie down in green pastures.  He leads me beside still waters.  He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name sake.  Psalm 23:2,3

 

 

JOY

 

TRUST

God, the one and only--I'll wait as long as he says.  Everything I need comes from him...He's solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul.  Psalm 62:1-2

HOPE

We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go.  It's an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us.  Hebrews 6:18-20

TRUST

Yes, he alone is my Rock, my rescuer, defense and fortress.  Why then should I be tense with fear when troubles come?  Psalm 62:2 TLB

 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20

JOY

Finish each day and be done with it.  You have done what you could...tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be combered with your old nonsense.  This is all that is good and fair.  It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays.  Ralph Waldo emerson

FAITH

In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade. Through us, he brings knowledge of Christ. Everywhere we go, people breathe in the exquisite fragrance. Because of Christ, we give off a sweet scent rising to God, which is recognized by those on the way of salvation--an aroma redolent with life. 2 Corinthians 2:14-15 The Message
