My communion with You, LORD,
transcends both time & circumstances.
I open wide my heart & mind to
receive more & more of You.

that my joy may be in you
and that my joy may be complete"

as I have loved you"

with prayer & supplication

Isaiah 40:29
This month we have celebrated two birthdays. We shared lunch, gave gifts, chatted over our meal & enjoyed friendship!
As we wait on the LORD, He renews our strength. We also must fellowship with other believers & partake of Jesus' by the
breaking of the bread in remembrance of his love for us as He willingly faced the cross where He shed his blood for the remission of our sins.
Jesus is our example as He loved us even when we were dead in our trespasses & sins. Such love is amazing. Thankfulness will fill our hearts with His joy & strength.
When we are weak He encourages us with his love, power and promises. His Holy Spirit will come alongside us and speak truth, give us strength and hope. There is nothing impossible for God. Be blessed as we learn to trust Him more.
We had to trim & prune some of our bushes last year.
This particular bush survived. It barely had a few branches with no leaves in it.
We waited & watered many days as we hoped for it to blossom.
A few months later it grew more than two meters wide, full of flowers.
God is at work within us & He is listening to our prayers.
He is at work in those around us, too. His Spirit is hovering over them as we pray.
Trust God. Be still & know that He will work every situation for the good of those who love Him.
Nothing can separate us from His eternal love!
But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
I was walking back from the grocery store with a few items I had bought when I saw the sunset so I took this picture.
God inspires with lovingkindness and beauty all around us. We must continue to wait on Him.
We thank You, LORD, for your promises...
'Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, yes, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand'.
Isaiah 41: 10
Thank you so much, Father!
God is very loving & kind;
He can guide the blind.
He wants to help us find
the Way to His Presence.
So He came to our land
to be able to shake our hand
& walk with us side by side!
He gave His Life
humbly & lovingly
to save ours!
We can grow strong
in God's love,
His light shines
very bright...
His beauty is everywhere,
in each little leaf & flower.
Our hearts are yielded
to His amazing love;
We find new hope & strength
in His presence everyday!
In quietness & trust
is our strength;
In returning & rest
we shall be saved.
"Trust in the LORD,
and do good;
so you will dwell in the land,
and enjoy security"...

Follow Christ and be an imitator of God. His Holy Spirit is full of love, power and self-control.
Nothing can separate us from His amazing love. Now if we love Him, we'll also listen & follow His leading.
We are so thankful for this amazing opportunity. God will equip us to live victoriously.
Jesus taught us how to pray.
We can do it in our room, with closed door, and God will hear our humble hearts.
Prayer is like wood to the fire of our souls. We need to keep our roots deep in God and his Word.
It is Jesus who will fill us with himself. His Spirit is a Spirit of love, power and self control.
Jesus knocks at the door of our hearts. Hear him calling your name and let him in.
Learn to wait patiently
God is at work all the time
Let your strongest desire
be to live close to God!
Quietness and trust
are two gems to grow
in your faith walk
with the LORD.
