“He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.” ~Isaiah 40:29
Praying this morning for the people of Nepal. I can’t even imagine. Blessings, Lisa
“All shall be well, all shall be well, all manner of things shall be well.” ~Julian of Norwich
How, you ask? Well now, that’s part of the beautiful mystery of it all. The growing, the patience, the waiting, the searching, the praying….these things help us to stay closer to the One who heals. Jesus. This quote has really helped me to feel at peace over the last few days. Which brings to mind another favorite quote:
“Everything turns out all right in the end. If it’s not all right, it’s not the end.” ~unknown Blessings on your weekend, Lisa
So many hurting people, so much overwhelming sense of “what can I do?” My heart has been aching for those people I will maybe never know who are hurting, right now, in some way that I don’t know. I want to help. I am praying, I am crying out to God to touch them in the way that only He can. I am asking Him to help me not to judge, only to love. Not to give hurting people clichéd, tired answers to their problems, but just to listen, to put a hand on theirs. Because we all have been sad, we’ve all been hurt, we all need help. If you’re hurting today, please know that even though I may not know you, I’m praying for you. If you want to write, I’ll write back. Love, Lisa
“The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart and saves such as have a broken spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him from them all.” ~Psalm 34:18
“I have found the paradox,
that if you love until it hurts,
there can be no more hurt, only more love.”
~Mother Teresa
We cry, we hope, we call out to God to help. Sometimes the help is quick, but sometimes we don’t hear the answer that we think is best. And sometimes the answer to our prayers comes rushing in like a wave of hope, lifting us up with overwhelming love for God. And that’s how I am today….overwhelmed, thankful, grateful, loving God so much for His provision and lovingkindness. Thank you, God. “Praise the Lord! For he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.” ~Psalm 28:6-7 Blessings, Lisa
Whatever you’re going through today, don’t give up. Keep talking to Jesus; He is listening with His whole heart.
