Extravagant Giver

Do you have a generous spirit?  Are you looking for ways to be a blessing?  Will you encourage and help others along the path towards God and His goodness?  I want to encourage you to be extravagant in praise.  A giver of good things, like your Father in heaven.  God is a giver.  It is absolutely amazing what a little encouragement can do.  Your smile, your word of encouragement, praise, or help can make a true life difference.  Don't dismiss your ability to minister the love of God to those in your life and your sphere of influence.

~Debbie

Mark 16:15  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

2 Corinthians 9:7  Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

James 1:17  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

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...

When?

If not now. Then when? What are you waiting for? The time is now. If you are similar to me, there is something you have dreamed of doing ....but put off for another time. The root is FEAR. Cast it aside. What are you afraid of? Success? For years I was fearful of sharing my art. What if no one liked it. What if no one bought it. Well, I have faced my fear and saw my own criticism. I heard someone say one time ,"That the strongest voice you hear in your mind is YOURS." So look in the mirror and repeat after me. No one may like it, no one may buy it....BUT....I refuse to allow my God given talent to lay fallow any longer. You have many gifts that are uniquely yours. How do you know....in the garden of life....you might be a mustard seed! I might be a mustard seed! A mustard seed is quite tiny, yet it grows into a large tree that others may take shelter in. Jesus said... Matthew 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mus...

I Heard Your Voice

Psalm 23-Beside Still Waters © 2008 Debbie Turner Chavers At times when spending time in God's presence I write poetry, paint art parables, read the bible, or sit and soak in His Peace.  At times I rejoice, making melody in my heart, singing out loud and at times play my tambourine.  There are so many ways to spend time with the LORD.  Make time today, you will be glad you did. I wrote this poem during my study for the art parable "Psalm 23-Beside Still Waters" I Heard Your Voice Beside still waters I heard your voice As a whispered song of love that flowed along. As I traveled a weary road I heard your voice as a crescendo A bubbling brook that refreshed my soul. As I lay to sleep I heard your voice As a wooing song That lapped gently along the edges of my dreams Rowing me home. When my earthly journey is over At the end of my days I want to hear you say "Well done, good and faithful servant." © Debbie Turner Chavers Matthew 25...
