Do Not Give Up


There are times and seasons in which we need to let go, but not give up.
There is a need to hang on to God's word and God's timing.

There have been times, when I started to give up on a situation or a person.
Yet, the Lord would impress me to give the situation or the person a bit more time.
Time to grow, time to be watered, time for the light of God to shine forth in our hearts.
In the natural our faith is matured through a growth process.
As with all things this takes time.

If the Lord plants a seed in your heart to believe for something beyond your natural mind, you need to let it mature.
Maturity happens as a thing, person, or situation is left in the ample, sovereign hands of God.
If you try to make something happen before its time, results can be less than expected.

It is hard to wait. And wait. And wait.
But wait.
The Lord of the harvest knows when the seed is matured and ready to be harvested.
God knows the desires of our hearts and the good plan that He has for each of us.

Prayerfully consider your decisions.
Is it harvest time?
Or is it a Sabbath rest for you and your fields?

John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

2 Corinthians 4:4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Singing Encouragement-Overcoming Fear

Never forget God loves you, we all have opportunity to start again, to call upon His name. Sometimes, obedience involves vulnerability. Mine. Overcoming fear. I am singing 🎶 with Jeremy Camp’s song “Getting Started” ~Debbie Prayer: Father God, thank you for the wooing of your Holy Spirit. Thank you that you never forget us, thank you that you want us. Open our eyes to see ourselves the way that you see us in Your Son, Jesus Christ. In Jesus name. Amen Lyrics for this song Getting Started Are you running 'round in circles with no place to go? Is there a person in the mirror you don't even know? Someone still sees who you are, yeah Were you the kid that was a dreamer, now you don't believe? Are you the lock that got so broken, now you lost the key? Someone still loves who you are, yeah To anyone who ever lost your way To everyone who ever felt ashamed Here's a song for all the broken hearted I believe you're only getting started To anyone who trusts in Jesus' nam

Rhythm

Rhythm is something that occurs naturally yet we usually ignore the process. Everyday life has a rhythm. Most of us feel a sense of uneasiness when our rhythm is disturbed. Yet life constantly throws a few bumps in our path to interrupt the rhythm of our life. To everything there is a season and a time... so adjust your rhythm. Have you ever tried to dance with someone who was slighty out of beat. It is awkward at best, but with a few adjustments you can find the flow to move through life gracefully again. There is a popular country song that says "I Hope You Dance". At times situations in life can have you waltzing and then a Tango. Whatever the beat....remember.... you can dance and the Lord is singing over you with joy. Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. I hope YOU dance, Debbie

If God asked you a question, what would it be?

I find myself on a busy day sending a quick note or quick question for needed information to those that I know. I never really considered how often I ask a question. Being a fairly practical person I want to get an answer and bring any subject to completion when dealing with business. But relationships don't happen that way. And that is the difficult part! There are so many nuances and reasons why people do what they do. And usually they do not give a second thought to any of this! Well, I believe we need too! Have you ever tried to work on a puzzle where one of the pieces is missing or there is a piece that almost fits, but, not quite? Ugh! This will send me to my knees. Literally. Where is that piece? That's the way I feel at times dealing with people who make me look for the missing piece in a relationship and look and look and look. This train of thought was brought about by mulling over some personal issues. Well, like I said...I like completion. So my thoughts were twirl
