Courage

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear."~ Ambrose Redmoon


One sure thing.. if I have nobody, I have Jesus! He will meet us right where we are at in our lives and walk with us no matter how ugly the circumstances. I have learned that to be courageous is to simply rest in His sovereignty, trusting only in Him with the outcome and with my well-being.


Oh, that quality called courage
What a difference it can make
It will rise up deep within you
And the devil's power will break.

When the enemy's before you,
And he's taunting you with fear
That quality called courage
Will remind you God is near.

And with quiet reassurance
His Word will let you know
That His presence will be with you
No matter where you go.

Oh, that quality called courage
It cannot be denied.
When the giants of life assail you,
And defeat is but implied.

Turn your eyes and look at Jesus
Not on who or what's around,
And with that quality called courage
Watch those giants come tumbling down!

23 Psalms

This is beautiful...

The Lord is my Shepherd = That's Relationship!

I shall not want = That's Supply!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures = That's Rest!

He leadeth me beside the still waters = That's Refreshment!

He restoreth my soul = That's Healing!

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness = That's Guidance!

For His name sake = That's Purpose!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death = That's Tribulations!

I will fear no evil = That's Protection!

For Thou art with me = That's Faithfulness!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me = That's Discipline!

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies = That's Hope!

Thou anointest my head with oil = That's Consecration!

My cup runneth over = That's Abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life = That's Blessing!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord = That's Security!

Forever = That's Eternity !

Face it, the Lord is crazy about you! What is most valuable, is not what we have in our lives, but WHO we have in our lives!!

I'm A Christian

(by: Maya Angelou)

When I say ... "I am a Christian,"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'.
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say ... "I am a Christian,"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble,
And need CHRIST to be my guide.

When I say ... "I am a Christian,"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak,
And need HIS strength to carry on.

When I say ... "I am a Christian,"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed,
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say ... "I am a Christian,"
I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are far too visible,
But God believes I am worth it.

When I say ... "I am a Christian,"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches,
So I call upon His name.

When I say ... "I am a Christian,"
I'm not holier than thou.
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace somehow.

Good Morning... I AM GOD

Today, I will be handling all of your problems.
Please remember that I do not need your help.

If the devil happens to deliver a situation to you
that you cannot handle,
please DO NOT attempt to resolve it.
Instead, kindly place it in the
SFJTD (something for Jesus to do) box.

It will be addressed in MY time, not yours.
Once the matter is placed into the box,
do not hold onto it or attempt to remove it.
Holding on or removal will delay the resolution to
your problem.

If it is a situation that you think you are capable
of handling, please consult me in prayer to be sure
that it is the proper resolution.
Because I do not sleep nor do I slumber, there is no
need for you to lose any sleep.

Therefore--- rest, my child. If you need to contact
me, remember, I AM only a prayer away.
