Happy golden fall day to you all!! How are you doing today? Hope you are having a great day and ready to celebrate something this weekend. If you are not having a good day I ask that you find something out of it to thank the Lord for and give Him your trust for the situation. Bathing everything with thanksgiving grows your trust in Him. Hearing you own voice (or inner voice) thanking His increases your trust abilities.
If your day (or life) is a mess consider that you do not yet know the outcome. Romans 8:28 (MSG) assures: "That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good." This "something good" happens because of our love for God. Our love for God is the foundation of our lives. When we love God every detail of our lives is important and cared for. We can be sure of this because we love God.
Are you having relationship problems with someone? Look at what God says in Colossians 3:13 (NCV): "Get along with each other, and forgive each other. If someone does wrong to you, forgive that person because the Lord forgave you." This one is self-explanatory but I want to expound on it. Pray, Pray, Pray for you and that person. I have a specific prayer for you to pray. And remember, this is for you and the other. Mark 12:30,31 (combined versions): "Love the Lord your God with all your heart/passion, soul/prayer life, mind/intellect and strength/energies. Love others as much as you love yourself." If you are ever stuck with knowing how to pray for someone--this is the most important thing to pray for. I encourage you to pray this prayer over your mate, your children, your parents, coworkers, fellow church goers, etc. Your pastor even needs this prayer prayed over him.
When a person loves God with totality the possiblities are endless. This is when supernatual happens, unexpected blessings flow, surprises come out of left field. Your whole world is colored differently. Then you start living on purpose. You start cleaning out bad behavior from your life. Take a look at Hebrews 9:14 (NCV): " How much more is done by the blood of Christ. He offered Himself through the eternal Spirit as a perfect sarifice to God. His blood will make our consciences pure from useless acts so we may serve the living God." Life starts to feel right--and you've never felt that way before.
In case you haven't started memorizing 20 core verses I suggest Mark 12:30-31 and Hebrews 9:14 as number one and number two. They are #1 and #2 on my list and I recite them almost every night as I fall asleep. They are deeply embedded in my psyche. Talk about healing from God's word--these will do it.
Now own to more healing. For new readers: I have experienced relational healing from God's word by hand-writing scripture and journal notes once a day x 21 days, hense the 21 Day Journal Notes. Writing these out for 21 days rewires your brain and replaces the wrong info from your subconcious that has been fed to it for years. It really works. Other 21 Day Journal Notes are on previous blogs. Check them out to see if they fit your situatiion.
21 Day Journal Note # 14
Don't Beat Up Yourself!
Romans 8:1 (GWT) So those who are believers in Christ Jesus can no longer be condemned.
I refuse to beat up myself and others for when I mess up. Jesus has already taken the beating.
Thank You Jesus for the price You have already paid. Thank You that I am not charged for this wonderful act of love.
end of journal note.
Remember the verse at the beginning of today's blog about forgiving? That applies to yourself as well. So stop beating up yourself.
News about the leaves: one fellow camper described the mountain-side that we are so fortunate to look at every day as a bowl full of jelly beans. I thought it way a cute was to look at it. Another camper was on top of his motorhome sweeping off the leaves. I can guarentee that you will not find me on top of our camper sweeping it off. If Keevin wants it done--he can do it. And the best leaf sighting was this morning. My eye caught the sight of a leaf as it fell from high up and slowly floated down to the ground. It seemed to take its time as it sorta swayed back and forth. It felt like it was moving in slow motion so that I could enjoy the journey of the leaf. Isn't God good!
You may be new to the blog and wondering "where in the world is she and why is she there?" My husband, Keevin, and I felt God calling us to Boone, NC to start a new church, so we packed up and moved here. We are living in our camper until we can move into a rental property. Hopefully then we will have space to invite folks over to study, worship and fellowship with each other. I am praying that this new group of people will love God with our totality and if they don't yet--hope to influence them toward God.
And I hope to influence anyone who reads this blog to become so confident God's way that you attract people to God by they way you act.
Enjoy the fall weather! Have a great weekend and work on those relationships!
Sisterly love to all, Wynndy
