Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Proverbs 3:5-8 (KJV)

The fundamentals of loving God is an inward and outward process, but the feeling of love, is a gift from above.  He loves us with the gusto of a welcome breeze on a balmy night, He loves us with the strength of a powerful eagle soaring high above the earth, He loves us with the softness of a single snowflake swirling about, He loves us with the depth of an ocean, endless, ever moving, and mysterious, and He loves us, most importantly…as a “Father loves His child.”

Trusting God, and loving Him through every situation we face is one of the most intimate relationships we could and ever will have.  When we trust Him, fully and completely, even when all things suggest otherwise, we are held up by His right hand of righteousness.  When we love Him above all else, we are inherently part of His Kingdom, and assured a place and a crown for our actions here, which will follow us as we enter Heaven.

Trusting Him, and leaning not on “your own understanding” is being keenly aware of our frailties, and knowing we are merely “human” and not Sovereign as is our Master and Lord…our Father.

He has given us His promises in writing…and His voice is clearly heard to those who follow Him.  We know His voice, and we follow.  He will never leave us, nor forsake us, no matter the circumstances, or how difficult or challenging.

When someone says “NO”— GOD says “YES”

When someone says, “That’s not possible” — “With God ALL things are possible.”

When someone says, “That will never happen” –God says, “Keep your faith, and it WILL happen.”

When a situation looks dim…GOD will shine HIS LIGHT.

When an outcome seems dire…GOD will provide and lift you up.

When circumstances suffocate You.  God will give you Breath.

In other words, the message here is “TRUST… TRUST… TRUST…”  in the LORD, and He will provide, He will sustain, He will show you the way, and He will guide your paths.

Someone might be reading this message right now,  who is in a deep valley, just remember this, “He is walking with you in that valley, and He will bring you out of it. Put all of your trust in Him, and He will do the rest…”

Keep looking up for all of your answers, and know that God is there for you, no matter what.

And LOVES you more than we could possibly understand.

All the Glory and Honor and Praise are Yours and Yours alone, and you get the victory always, no matter what…

“Father, thank You for loving me and holding me as only a Father can, I trust in You and You alone, and I realize that no matter what individuals might say, that You have the final word in all accounts, I pray for those in the dark, and those in deep valleys, that they will turn their hearts to You, and accept You fully, completely and recognize You as their LORD AND SAVIOR, so that they will feel the endless love and tranquility that only You can provide, I pray for my brothers and sisters all across the world, and I pray for your light to shine away the darkness in the world, I pray these things in Jesus name, Amen.”

Psalms 118:8 –

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

Psalms 112:7 –

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

During my weakest moments…I am the strongest by GOD’s grace.

Eventually, no matter what…we will walk through a “valley” and become besieged by circumstances that threaten to overtake our senses, emotions, and health.  Some of our circumstances can be overwhelmingly suffocating, painful, and/or heart-wrenching.  But, through it all, we have our mighty, powerful, loving, consuming, and sovereign God with us, who will hold us up, and guide us…and provide all we need to accomplish that which we need to.

His path, and His purpose for our lives is demonstrated throughout our life, from birth, in between years, and finally, death.  And, death of the flesh body, brings eternal life in the Spirit…where we will reside with Him forever.

In life, pain is inevitable. 

Life is filled with emotions. 

Life is  continuous growth.

Life is everlasting through Christ.

It is written, that GOD will give us beauty for ashes, and joy for our mourning. It is written that GOD will never leave us, nor forsake us.

It is written that GOD will uphold us with His right hand of righteousness.

It is written that GOD will guide our paths.

It is written that GOD will go before us.

It is written that GOD loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son.

With all of these promises, (and so many more) we can stand firm on our faith believing that eventually God will bring  beauty for  ashes,   joy for mourning, while guiding our paths as He goes before us, loving and holding us up. 

With proclamations and affirmations such as these, we as children of GOD can withstand whatever comes our way knowing He loves us and is with us.

And, most important, no matter what we’re going through, remember that GOD will never give us more than we can handle.  And no matter what, be careful to give all the glory, praise always…without ceasing in our hearts, mind and soul.

And He remains Victorious always and forever…

And, we as His children are victorious through Him…

Amen! Amen!  Amen!

But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31  KJV

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!  According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.  In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith–more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire–may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 

1 Peter 1:3-7

The Spirit man in all of us is a birthing process that continues to grow each day as we exercise the need and desire to “know Him” and long to please Him.

When the “inner man” our Lord and Savior’s Spirit that dwells within, longs to grow, we begin the long arduous process of walking in the light, stepping away from the darkness, and garnering the strength to do so, which is through Christ.

Being a beacon of light in the hands of our Father is essentially the top priority in which I exist.  And, most of those who are faith-driven feel the same way.

As we meditate and look to the LORD for all the answers, and look to Him for strength in tough times, and in good times in order to minister to those who need uplifting, we continuously grow in spirit.  Each day the word brings us another way to love Him, a deeper understanding.  A birthing of faith grows more each day.  The word is pregnant, it grows and grows.

The LORD is standing by for us.  We need Him to maneuver and spiral through the paths set before us.  He is there to guide us and comfort us as we become more intimate with Him.

The process of which is rewarding and peaceful, which excels a sense of purpose to our lives.  His will be done…not ours.  His plan, not ours.  His purpose for us…not ours.

Do you sense and understand the phenomenal aspirations of those walking in the light?

Can you see beyond the darkness of an individual as we try to reach them on a level of spirituality, which only can be enhanced and brought to fruition by the LORD Himself?

There are many yearning and feeling an urgency of wishing to submit and surrender to the LORD.  He is drawing them and wooing the hearts of those that burn with a desire to become like Him…and to do His will.

Submit, surrender…speak from your heart.  Walk in the light and follow His will…help those in the dark, with Jesus’ power…and be transformed along the way.

Your inner man is longing to grow.

Feed Him (your spirit) daily…and let Him grow in truth, spirit and love…Amen!

“You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you.”   John 15:16
