Even When...

Even when situations are out of our control, God is still in control...

Even when we're rejected by family, God will never leave nor forsake us...

Even when the pain of that rejection hurts us to our core, God will comfort us...

Even when we can't see what God is doing in our lives, God is still working on our behalf...

Even when we feel all hope is lost of reconciliation, God is still moving in that situation...

Even when our tears flow like a river, God is there to bottle each one...

Even when we're spiritually and emotionally tired, God is there to give us strength...

Even when we're not sure of our next step, God will direct our steps..

God is always there in the good and the bad times. 

Please don't give up hope, for He is our hope.

God Let's Us Know

God let's me know that I am worthy of His love and respect, even when others let me know that they do not think that I am... 

God stands beside me, even when others walk away... 

God speaks to me even when others remain silent... 

God knows I've changed even when others refuse to see the change...

God lifts me up even when others try to bring me down... 

God knows the truth even when others lie about me... 

God hears my cries even when others turn a deaf ear...

God bottles my tears even when others want to make me cry... 

God listens to me even when other refuse to... 

God gives me stregnth even when others try to break me... 

God doesn't see me as replacable even when others do... 

God sees me as I am and loves me anyway even when some others don't.

God loves you too...

Jesus Loves You and Me

You loved me even before I gave my heart to You.. 

You waited patiently and loved me even when many years ago I had gone astray You left the 99 and came looking for me..

You've comforted me when no one else was around me.. 

You've given me strength in my weakess moment's.. 

You've made me a survivor... 

You've guided me when I have lost my way.. 

You've corrected me when I was wrong.. You've put your arms around me when I needed a hug... 

You've shown me Your majesty in Your creations... 

And above all you gave Your life not only for me, but for every person on earth..

You rose from the grave for me and You gave me salvation freely. I don't have to earn Your love I just have to love You and live for You. 

Jesus died for all of you too. I hope you will turn to Jesus too! 

It's fast and simply, just ask Him into your heart, ask Him to forgive you of your sins and lead you in His direction. 

God loves you like no knew else can!

Love The Sinner

To show others that we love them, is to love them with the truth of the Word and with our own love as well. If we truly love them then we will teach/preach not only God's love, but also the consequences of sin. We do not have to single any one person out about their sin unless of course God directs us to. We can include all in a message. If we love them we will tell the whole truth not bits and pieces. Jesus loves the sinners, yet He hates the sins in our/their lives, for we are all sinners and saved by grace when we accept Jesus into our hearts and although Christian's shouldn't sin, some will sin and need to repent for it says, All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We should not bash anyone over their sins as some churches like a certain Baptist one that is rude, crude and abusive in my opinion that disrupts funerals, etc does. God didn't call us to humiliate the sinner for their sins, but to love them, just not love their sins. Even as children our parents taught us right from wrong and God loves us enough to do the same and and He wants us to as well. He does it with love, however, He will also bring His discipline and at times His wrath on those who are disobedient and/or who refuse Him. We can preach against sin with love as we are commanded to do. It's how we approach it that will also make a difference and there will be those who walk away from the truth in anger, yet it doesn't mean we have failed it means they refused the gospel and God. So preach/teach His love just remember we must not leave out the other aspects of his word including sin. There are also those who would be an encourager instead of preachers however and the encourager will do just that encourage others, yet if asked about sin and the way to heaven an encourager should not shy from the truth that sin is wrong and that the only way to heaven is through Jesus, the truth the light and they way...

God Is Always There

God is always there, sometimes we are left in what seems like a Wilderness and at times when it seems like nothing's going the way we want it, yet God has a plan in everything we do, even the times we're out of His will He still has a plan. God knew even before the very foundation of this earth every choice, every thought and every movement we would make both right and wrong, yet He chooses to love us even when we have made our own wrong choices. Don't think that God's not there, because He is and He's watching, He's listening and He's waiting for us to do what He has called us to do. The Bible says do all you can then stand and see the glory of God, so do what you can and keep praying, and doing his will. If you know you've been out of the will of God just ask Him to forgive you ask Him to help you to stay in His will to show you what He wants you to do where He wants you to go what do you want you to say give it all to Him. tcc

God Is Always There For You...

I felt a need to share what is on my heart... I want to tell you about someone who is there for you, even when you feel no one else is, a man, who will love you no matter what wrong you have done in your life, a man who can heal your hearts and your bodies, a man who will raise you up even when others are trying to tear you down, a man who will walk while carrying you when you cannot carry yourself, a man who will comfort you when you feel down, a man who bottle all of your tears, a man who knows the pain of sorrow and a man who knows the joy of caring for others and a man who died and rose from the grave that we might live eternally with Him as those that have accepted Him into their hearts and gone before us. This wonderful and amazing man is Jesus Christ the son of God. If you feel a tug in your spirit to turn your life over to Him and to serve Him, please heed that tug for we are not promised tomorrow. Do not turn from Him when He is reaching out to you. Do not say, "I will live for today and accept Him on another day" for you may or may not have that extra day. You have not sinned so bad that He will not forgive you. To accept Him into your heart is as simple as asking Him to forgive you of your sins and to come into your heart and to confess that you have received Him. I hope that you will think on these things and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour this very night.  tcc

My Heart Was Broken, But Not My Spirit

My Heart Was Broken, But Not My Spirit...

My Heart Was Broken, But Not My Spirit,

You said you loved me only to later walk away ...

I put on a brave front, but inside I was shattered...

I smiled so you wouldn't see the hurt I felt inside and as I turned away I could feel the warm tears running down my face...

My heart was broken, but not my spirit,

As much as it hurt I had to accept what could not be...

Someday you may realize to late that I would have been the one who would have stood by you when others walk away...

I would have been the one to love you even if you lost everything...

I would have waited for you, been there to encourage you, to lift you up and to help you at the time...

I would have held you when you were sad and I would have comforted you and prayed with you...

I would have been there for you all of your days on this earth...

Now I must now learn to stop being in love with you which was not what I wanted to have to do...

I knew better than to let myself love you, for it wasn't meant to be, yet it seemed I couldn't stop from loving you...

Yet now I have no choice but to move

forward without you in my life as you once were...

My heart was broken, but not my spirit,

Spiritual Warrior Arise

Lord let not the spiritual warrior in me slumber, spiritual warrior arise and keep me ever ready to do Your will that You may fulfill Your plan in my life to its fullest and that I may have life and have it abundantly as per Your word and promises. tcc

She Wiped Away Her Tears

She Wiped Away Her Tears

She decided that she had cried enough tears and that she had hurt long enough; so she wiped her tears away and then she began moving forward to see where God would lead her and as she did this she asked God to remove the hurt and to give her wisdom, knowledge and discernment so that she would move in the direction that He wanted her to go. When she did this she knew she would be alright and that no matter who walks away from her that God would never leave nor forsake her. Her past chocies no matter how long ago nor how recent would not define her, because it is God who defines her, not others.

I Thought Of You Today...

I Thought Of You Today...

I thought of you today and of the laughter that we once shared, of the walks and long talks that ended all to soon...
I thought of your smile and of all the good things that I first saw in you that caused me to fall in love with you...
I remembered the moment you said that you loved me...
And then I thought of when you told me to forget you and you walked away...
Oh the pain of those words, knowing I had opened up my heart to you, only to have to close it...
I then realized I should have never allowed my emotions to go where I knew they should not have gone...
I thought of you today and of how my love for you was not meant for a time such as this...

Hurt By An Untruth

Hurt By An Untruth
Although she still loves him, she knows she must accept his rejection of her and of her love. She thought he felt the same because he had told her that he loved her, only to later change his mind and decide she was not who he wanted. She would have rather been hurt by the truth in the beginning than to have been hurt by an untruth after such as she was. Her love for him was different, she laughed more with him, she felt more deep within her soul for him only to be rejected. Even so she is a warrior and she has survived these battle wounds of loving him and knowing that she can never be with him. Yet with God's help she will hold her head up and walk through the pain with a smile on her face.
She had not opened her heart in many years until him and now she must learn to be even more careful in opening it again. She prays for God to help her to move forward and to accept what cannot be.
She loves him, yet she knows it cannot be...

Shattered Pieces

Shattered Pieces

And in that moment she knew that no matter how much she still loves him that she has to wipe away the tears and to put her love for him away deep within and that she now has to move on; for her love for him was not meant to be. She will not beg for his love, it is either given freely or it is not given at all. She loved, she lost, she cried and then she handed the shattered pieces of her heart to God for Him to mend...

In That Moment

In That Moment
It was in that moment that she realized that she had no choice but to move forward and to not look back. Although she still loves him, she knows it cannot ever be and she must now begin to heal. She bowed her head and asked God to help her concerning her love for him, for she knew it was now time for her heart to accept what her head already knows to be true. tcc

She Has Hope

"She Has Hope"

She doesn't have a home to call her own; yet she has hope she will have one soon ...
She doesn't have all of her children and grandchildren near her; yet she has hope that someday they will be...
She doesn't have a special someone to walk hand in hand with at this time; yet she has hope that she will have someday...
Through it all she has hope. Hope and faith go hand in hand, therefore you can't have one without the other. Never lose hope, God is our hope!

Restoration

We can lose a home and be homeless, yet God will help us to still find a way to smile...
We can lose our other possessions and yet God will still help us see that we still have Him...
We can miss those we love because they refuse to be in our lives as they once were, yet God will never leave nor forsake us...
We can feel all alone and afraid, yet God will bring us peace in our wilderness...
We can get to where we don't see an answer, yet God always has the answer...
We can cry alone where others can't see us, yet God bottles our tears....
We can fall in love and have our heartsbroken, yet God promises that He is close to the broken hearted...
No matter our trials and heartaches, we can still be assured that God is right there with us, to lead us, to guide us, to hold us and to comfort us.

A Love Not Meant For A Time Such As This...

A Love Not Meant For A Time Such As This...

She had never opened her heart to anyone like she had him, only to realized that her love for him was not mean for a time such as this. It started as friendship which blossomed into a love as she'd never felt before. They had spent hours talking and taking long walks together. Oh the joy she felt when they spent time together, not only the laughter they shared, but also the stories and the adventures they shared. Then all to soon those moments came to an end and they were no longer spending time with one another and she reflects on how she is now left with moving ahead knowing that her love for him cannot be. She loved, she lost, she cried and then she gave the broken pieces of her heart to God for Him to mend.

Loving You

Loving You

Sometimes the warm tears flow down my face when I think of you, when I hear certain songs or when I take a walk...

Thoughts of you come to my mind and I have to pray to move forward without you in my life as you once were,

Emotions run high in loving you and yet knowing that my love for you was not meant for a time such as this brings me back to reality...

Sadness fills my heart, yet I know I must wipe away my tears and continue to smile and act as if there is no hurt...

Missing you touches deep within my soul and yet I know that I cannot keep dwelling on what cannot be...

Loving you was a joyous time for while,
yet now I have to put that love away deep within my heart, not because I want to, but because I have to ...

I do not regret loving you, I only regret it was the wrong timing in doing so...

May you always be happy and blessed, and may you always know that God's love for you will never fail...

God Bottles Our Tears

I sometimes think that walking in the rain has its benefits as it can blend in with a multitude of tears flowing down your face that only God and you know are there and that He bottles every one of our tears no matter what they are being shed for. He cares and He is there even when others can't be there with you. He will always be there for you even in your darkest hour and when you are feeling alone. Give it all to Him and see Him move in your life.

Our Choices

Think of your past as a learning experience and take note of what not to do again and as to what you should do for your present and future choices... Your past bad choices do not define you especially when you are now making better ones. Only God and you define you. Your reputation is what others say about, but your character is who you are. If you do make a bad choices, then recongnize it as that and do your best not to repeat them. Let your good choices out weigh any of your past or even current bad ones. You got this.. Accept your past for what it was and look to your present and your future for what it now is... I am...
