Your days of mourning all will end!

Trials and sorrows, sickness and death
even nature suffers, groans and sighs
to be realeased from the pain and the hurt!



When trouble comes is there a place to go?
Who will feed the hungry?
Who will bring healing and comfort
to those sick, lonely and lost?
Teacher, don't you even care that we are all about to drown?




The LORD is good.
When trouble comes He is the place to go!
And He knows everyone who trusts in Him!
He is good to everyone, and his compassion is intertwined with everything he does.

Above all else seek wisdom

The man who knows right from wrong and has good judgment and common sense is happier than the man who is rich! Proverbos 3:13

The Lord says: "Let not the wise man bask  in his wisdom, nor the mighty man in his might, nor the rich man in his riches. Let them boast in this alone: that they truly know me, and understand that I am the Lord of justice and of righteousness whose love is steadfast; and that I love to be this way". Jeremiah 9: 23,24.

The reverence and fear of God are basic to all wisdom.
 Proverbs 9:10

He is the Prince of Peace


He is the Prince of Peace.
His righteousness is only exceeded by his love!
Help him to give justice to your people.
Glory to God and peace on earth to those pleasing him!

The mercy of our God is very tender..
Heaven's dawn is about to break upon us,
to give light to those who sit in darkness and death's shadow,
and to guide us to the path of peace.

May you have peace of heart and mind.
Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows,
but cheer up, for He has overcome the world,
 leaving you with a gift: peace of mind and heart!

God's peace...
far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.
His peace will keep your thoughts and hearts
quiet and at rest as you trust in Him.
So do not be troubled or afraid!

Buds of life!



To think that in Spring
every little leaf and bud
remembers that it is
time to sprout
and open up...
Such dear promise
of faithful, fresh, pure life
and they know it is time
because of the light!

Morning splendor


But the good man walks along in the ever-brightening light of God's favor; the dawn gives way to morning splendor. 

Proverbs 4:18


"And this is eternal life, it means to know, (to perceive, to become acquainted with), and to understand you, the only real and true God, and (likewise) to know Him, Jesus Christ, (the anointed One, the Messiah), whom you have sent" John 17: 3.

Oh, that we may know Him who is perfect in all his attributes and who can become our focus, our example and great leader. Let us press on to know Him, and He will respond to us as surely as the coming dawn or the rain in early spring.

We need to become mirrors that reflect the glory of the LORD, to let His Spirit work within us, to become more and more like Him.

 "I will come and do for you all the good things I have promised. For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. You will find me when you seek me, if you look for me in earnest." Jeremiah 29:10-13

Let us turn to the LORD!



God wants to quench our thirst,
to give us food that fattens up the soul,
to make an everlasting covenant with us
to give us unfailing mercies and love!

As soft as the morning sunshine
let His glory warm your being
Seek the LORD,
call upon Him!

Banish from your mind,
the very thought of doing wrong
Let us turn to the LORD,
for He will abundantly pardon!

God's meeting point

"Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."

Do you find yourself longing for some holidays, a time to rest from the tyranny of the urgent to read some good book or go for walks, a swim or practice that sport which you have been putting off for a while?

 Jacob left Beer-Sheba and went toward Haran. He reached a certain place and spent the night there because the sun had set. He took one of the stones from the place, put it there at his head, and lay down in that place. And he dreamed: A stairway was set on the ground with its top reaching heaven, and God’s angels were going up and down on it. Yahweh was standing there beside him, saying, ‘I am Yahweh, the God of your father, Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your offspring the land that you are now sleeping on. Your offspring will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out toward the west, the east, the north, and the south. All the peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. Look, I am with you and will be with you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this land, for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.’


Jacob was running away for his life, he was running away from his past, he was running away from the consequences of his actions and from his brother's anger. His mother urged him to flee; his father blessed him with a purpose and a mission, and Jacob kept going but felt exhausted so when dusk and night settled in he lay down to sleep. That is when God met him. From heaven came a stairway to meet him right where he was, a spiritual encounter, a promise that God fulfilled.



How many times when all human resources are gone and we feel exhausted God meets us right where we are, just like this heavenly stairway where angels go up and down, God's resources come from heaven to meet and supply all of our needs, to show us the way, to confirm his word and promise to us. It is then that we are finally still and acknowledge that He is the source of power and wisdom and love!



Rest easy, let God take your burden, your tiredness and frustration. His grace is sufficient. He will make a way. He will meet you right there where you are. You just need to look up!
