Jesus Calling is just too good today to even have to expound on...
"Taste and see that I am GOOD. The more intimately you experience Me, the more convinced you become of My goodness. I am the LIVING ONE who sees you and longs to participate in your life. I am training you to find Me in each moment and to be a channel of My Loving Presence. Sometimes My blessings come to you in mysterious ways; through pain and trouble. At such times you can know My goodness only thru your trust in Me. Understanding will fail you, but trust will KEEP YOU CLOSE TO ME.
Thank Me for the gift of My Peace, a gift of such immense proportions that you cannot fathom it's depth or breadth. When I appeared to My disciples after the resurrection, it was PEACE that I communicated first of all, I knew this was their deepest need: to calm their fears and clear their minds. I also speak PEACE to you, for I know your anxious thoughts. Listen to Me! Tune out other voices, so that you can hear Me more clearly. I designed you to dwell in PEACE all day, every day. Draw near to Me; receive My Peace.
Psl 34:8. Gen 16:13-14. John 20:19. Col 3:15

I'm tired today
Today I'm really tired... had really really strange dreams last night plus I think I pulled my cpap mask off in the middle of the night. (if any of you following don't know, I have sleep apnea), so that is probably another reason I'm tired today... Whatever the reason once again, like clockwork, the enemy immediatly tries to wedge his way into my sleepy tired brain and my thoughts were not so good first thing this morning. But praise God as I take this daily step of "renewing" my mind with the washing of His Word.. It doesn't take so long to bring my little human wandering brain back in line. That is how habits are formed, right? Good ones and bad ones. By doing them daily... Or repetitively, over and over till our brains "get it!" then it becomes easier and easier to do... Or harder and harder to break, depending on what you are training your mind on... The good thoughts or the bad ones. I heard a very successful man say the other day..."the simple things are easy to do... They are also easy NOT to do..." just like trying to eat right daily.. You usually start out with good intentions, then you miss a day and eat at Mickey D's... Then you go some days doing good... Then you mess up two days in a row due to whatever excuse you make up... Then it becomes easier and easier to just fall back into your old habits. Your old patterns. Pretty soon you're don't care at all about what you put in your mouth and you're right back where you were... Beating yourself up and feeling like crud physically and mentally. And if you stay there long enough you'll end up not caring at all about anything. The same can be said about taking the time daily to pray or talk and LISTEN to God... It really can take as little as 5-15 minutes of your day to start... not long at all to spend with your Creator... He certainly is worthy of more than that, but keep it simple to begin with... You're more likely to continue doing it because it you keep it simple. Pray, read His Word and then Listen to what He is saying to you... If you don't know what you're listening for, if you think God doesn't talk to you, you're wrong. He is that still, quiet little voice inside your head that you've squashed, that you've silenced for so long... He is the one that is saying "you are precious My daughter. You are the apple of My eye.. The one I love with a love everlasting. The ONE I sent My Son to die for... Hear Me whispering My words of love to you, and if you sit still and try to listen every day, one day My voice, My words of LOVE to you will be a SHOUT in your mind... So audible you can't deny it, can't mistake it and can't LIVE without it!! You are the desire of My heart my love and I
want to be the desire of yours. Trust Me with all your heart even, ESPECIALLY, when you are tired... If all you can do is utter... "I trust You
Jesus" then do so. Because I hear you Always, and your cries are not a small little whisper in My ears. I KNOW your voice... I listen for it daily, every minute, every second...because I am the Lover of Your Soul... Can you hear Me?"
It's the simple things that are easy to do, but if done over a period of time, are the MOST rewarding. So today Lord, even in my tiredness, I fix my mind on You.. I hear You and Your voice is starting to become so loud and clear in my head, I trust You Jesus, to complete me.. To fulfill me, and as I daily listen for You, I KNOW one day my Lover's Words will be a SHOUT in my heart.
Jeremiah 29:13-14, Phil 4:13 Prov 1:33

Before you pray...stop and perform a "heart check"
This is so GOOD to remember... Check your heart daily as you come to God in prayer. Check your heart and make sure you're not just praying for what you can "get" from Him, but that you're coming to Him, conversing with Him, spending time with Him, because this time spent with "the Lover of your Soul", just being in His Presence, listening to His "heart", is what you truly desire more than anything in this world.
Paraphrase of "Jesus Calling" says it this way... "Be still in My Presence, even though countless tasks clamor for your attention. Nothing is as important as spending time with Me. Do not seek Me primarily for what I can give you. Remember that I, the Giver, am infinitely greater than any gift I may impart on you. Although I delight in blessing My children, I am grieved when My blessings become "idols" in their hearts. Anything can become an idol if it distracts you from Me as your "FIRST LOVE". As you wait in My Presence, enjoy the greatest gift of all: Christ in you, the Hope of Glory!"
Wow...what a Reality check for me this morning as I was just going to pray for all the things I "need".... Then I read that. And it is so true... In life and with God... If all you desire truly is what someone can "give" to you... It makes you very selfish, and eventually, very lonely.. Cause who wants to be friends, or in a relationship, with someone like that? Hmmmm?

Try it... You'll like it!
Excerpt from "Jesus Calling"
"Waiting on Me means directing your attention to Me in hopeful anticipation of what I will do. It entails trusting Me with every fiber of your being, instead of trying to figure things out yourself.
I have promised many blessings to those who wait on Me: renewed strength, living above ones circumstances, resurgence of hope, awareness of My continual Presence. Waiting on Me helps you to remain reliant on Me, ready to do My will. It also helps you to enjoy ME.. And in My Presence there is fullness of joy."
Isa 40:31 Psm 16:11
We wait for everything else in life... Wait in line, wait for work, wait for enough money to do the things we've been waiting to do... So why NOT be willing to WAIT on the LORD? The thing is, if what you're doing isn't working for your life, then why not try His way in your life? After all, He created the "product", He is the expert on "how" it should work, right?

An Attitude of Gratitude
I woke up worrying this morning. Have been in a financial downward spiral this month. One day I think I'm out of it... The next day I find out I'm not. So "worry" was the first thing on my mind when I woke up... And the first thing I did was check my bank balance... Then I REALLY worried! LOL. The more I worried the bigger the problem got in my head, ya know what I mean? In a split second you can go from casual thoughts of being low on cash for a day or two... To financial bankruptcy if you let your mind dwell in that place for even a couple of minutes. Sometimes our worst enemy is our minds. But then I remembered what I have been trying to get across to all of us, myself included, on this blog... To change those old tapes that have played time and time again in our minds in the past that just left us in emotional ruin. "Stinkin' Thinkin'! as I like to call it. Immediately I turned my thoughts to Jesus.... I started thanking Him for waking up and feeling good this morning. I thanked Him for my family and friends, I thanked Him for what He has been doing in my life lately as far as ministry. As I went on thinking of things to be thankful for my list grew long... Heck, I even thanked Him for being able to get out of bed this morning!! Because when it comes right down to it.... We should be thankful for the very breath we're able to take on our own... A roof over our heads, food readily available in and waiting for us in the kitchen. Being able to walk, to talk, to smile... Oh the things I need to remember to ALWAYS be thankful for go on and on, really.
3 days a week I visit a friend of mine who had a stroke 3 years ago... He was a vibrant man, worldly, legendary in the world of Fiats and Ferraris... A master painter... An inspiration to many in his 76 years. But in the blink of an eye, a stroke took that all away from him. He can no longer walk, he can't talk, has to be fed thru a tube, he can't move from the bed on his own... His daily needs have to be taken care of by the nursing staff. All of his finances had to be done away with, so he could be covered by Medi-Cal for this 24/7 care. I go and sit with him, talk to him, take him outside in his wheelchair, and try to encourage him, to get him to even smile a little. So, after doing this, seeing him 3 days a week for almost 2 years now, you'd think I would NEVER EVER complain about ANYTHING in my life. But I'm only human and God is still working on me...
So, again I say, instead of dwelling on your current crud... That you could blow up in your mind... Making your problems insurmountable,
start thinking of all you DO have to BE THANKFUL for... And then start THANKING HIM for those things. Doing this type of thinking, praying, will become the tapes that play in your head eventually and you will walk around with an Attitude of Gratitude. A thankful heart also puts you in line with God's Will, a place where you will begin to see His Presence and blessings in all that you do. And that my friends, is something to be very very THANKFUL for.
Jesus Calling by Sarah Young says this today:
LET THANKFULNESS TEMPER ALL YOUR THOUGHTS. A thankful mind-set keeps you in touch with Me. I hate it when my children grumble, casually despising My sovereignty. Thankfulness is a safeguard against this deadly sin. Furthermore, a grateful attitutide becomes a grid through which you perceive life. Gratitude enables you to see the Light of My Presence shining on all your circumstances. Cultivate a thankful heart, for this glorifies Me and fills you with joy.

O daughter of Jerusalem
This is a letter written to a friend of mine from her brother... but it is really a letter written by God to all of us, women, and men... receive it!!
O daughter of Jerusalem Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation. Lowly and riding on a donkey; a colt, the foal of a donkey. Zechariah 9:9
Greetings, my beloved daughter of the New Jerusalem, through all the riches in Christ Jesus, who is worthy to be praised. I had been thinking of writing you, but I waited to hear a word from the Lord. This morning, I was praying for you and your loved one. The Lord touched my heart to write this to you: Your King has already come on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey. He has made His triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. Yes, they laid their clothes and branches of palm trees before Him as He rode on a the donkey. They shouted, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! The King of Israel!" John 12:13 O daughter of the New Jerusalem, He has died for our sins and He has risen from the dead and He sits at the right hand of the Father. One day, O daughter of Jerusalem, He shall come again. But He shall come as King of Kings, Lord of lords, and sit on His rightful throne. He has paid the price for us. He has suffered for the sinful. He has bore the separation from the Father. His Name is above all names in heaven and on earth. Yes, at the sound of His name, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess He is Lord. O daughter of the New Jerusalem, He has clothed you in love, faith and hope. He has presented you blameless and spotless before the Father. God, the Father doesn't see us through wrath but through the righteous blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Christ Jesus' blood paid the price for our righteousness. It is His righteousness that the Father sees. Sometimes I wonder why we are so special and so much loved by God that He would die for us. Sometimes we think we are worthless dirt. But God took dirt and made us. Could you imagine the world without dirt? There wouldn't be life. So many things grow out of dirt. We need plants to survive.
O daughter of the New Jerusalem, there comes a time in our lives when we stop living and God starts to live through us. A time when we start living for that New Jerusalem. Yes, when our clothing becomes love, faith and hope. I wonder sometimes if anyone could see my new clothing, love, faith and hope? Who can truly see love, faith and hope? The are invisible to the human eye. Only through the eyes of the Lord can anyone see this new clothing. I encourage you O daughter faith treats things hoped for as reality. It assures us that the unseen is real. We have an assurance in the coming of our Lord. I ask you, What do you hope for in this life time? You have a Lord and you have a home in the future. How big and awesome is your God? Can your hope be measured by His awesome power and will? O daughter, God is our hope. And whatever He puts inside us or instills within us, no one can rob us of. God is our assurance that He put it there. I don't look at my surroundings, my situations, nor any outside doubts about what God has instilled within me. I live by faith, love and hope. When I allow God to do His will in my life, , my hope is increased, my love is increased and my faith is increased. I know without a doubt God wants the very best for me. I can Hope. I can see the unseen prayers answered. My will becomes God's will. I can trust God and say, Lord Your will be done in my life.
O daughter of the New Jerusalem,there will be problems in our lives. There will be disappointments and sufferings. These things are common to man. But we endure them and go forth in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. They help us grow and mature into men and women of God. Yes, we have to be tested. Whatever God has planned for us, He equips us for that very task or job. He never overloads us. I don't know what you may be going through, I don't know your personal trial and I don't need to know. Our great and awesome God knows. I pray He comforts you and carries you through whatever may come you way for His glory. We must learn to overcome the obstacles in our lives and not allow them to become mountains we can't climb.
I want to share this with you, someone shared with me through the Holy Spirit: "I want to let you know you're in my prayers... I imagine you may be overwhelmed because you've been dealing with so much lately. And maybe you're wondering, (as I have wondered at times), how things are ever going to work out? And I just want to remind you that although life brings many changes, God's love for us REMAINS constant. He's always there, guiding us through decisions and helping us do the hard things... Always restoring in us a sense of hope and peace, no matter what we're facing. And the most beautiful thing about God is that the more we need Him, the closer He is... That's how I know He is especially close to you now."
These words were a comfort to me and I pray they be a comfort to you. God knows who you are now and you need to remember who you ARE.. Your King sits on the throne. You are a child of God now. You have a Father who answers your prayers. He is a Father who loves you unconditionally. He gave His Son to set you free from the bondage of sins and low living. He has given you hope. Your salvation is secure. You can hope for things in this world and let them glorify Him. God knows what makes us happy and He knows every intent and thought within our hearts and mind. There are no secrets hidden from Him. Yes, He sees the tears that are shed in secrecy. He knows every pain in our hearts. O daughter of the New Jerusalem, you must believe He loves you and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Every prayer God has answered for me has been far greater than what I asked for or every imagined. I trust Him. Some, I had to wait and some haven't happened yet. But I know His timing is far greater than mine. I don't know the future, I don't know what's around the corner, I don't have power and glory, I don't keep everything in existence, and I don't remain faithful all the time... Only GOD DOES and He is in control The Lord Jesus Christ said "your faith has healed you." What miracle do you need done? I pray you understand the answer: "Thus says the Lord: Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears. For your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord. And they shall come back from the land of the enemy." There is hope in your future, says the Lord, "That your children shall come back to their own border." Amen Jeremiah 31:16-17 Look ahead O daughter of the New Jerusalem!!!

That simple word..." Trust" is so complicated
Trust.. Why is it so darn difficult to do? Jesus says to trust Him and I try everyday to focus my heart on that... But sometimes it is a prayer I must repeat, an action I must force myself to accomplish, many times a day. I guess it's so hard and sometimes too time consuming, to even try due to our past experience. I mean who hasn't been hurt in one way or another by "trusting" another person? I know for myself, it's happened many many many times. And I as well, have broken peoples trust in me, many times. I've come to realize it is because we tend to put all our trust in humans, and because we're human, we fail.. All fall short. So we take those past experiences with our friends, parents, lovers, ourselves even, the experiences of broken trusts that caused deep pain, the worst heartaches, and carry them over with us when we come to know God... And of course we have issues trusting Him. These trust issues start so early in our lives sometimes, as babies even, and can continue through our formidable years, so that when we do "grow up", become able to choose to believe in Christ on our own, of course we are going to have trouble trusting Him. He knew that... And He is very patient, and oh so able, to help us through this heart issue. I've found that asking Him daily, sometimes hourly, or minute by minute, to change my heart, to bring it to a place of complete trust, is the only way that I've been able to "change" those old trust issues, re-make those old tapes so to speak, that play in my head. It is a daily re-newing of our minds, of our hearts, surrendering to Him and allowing the Master Potter to re-mold us, to shape us into His image. And the only way I can do that is by drawing nearer to Him. Get to know Him better by reading His love letter to me daily. And who doesn't love a good love letter? His word is His love letter to us.. Once you start putting it in your head daily, finding out His amazing, incomprehensible, extravegant, unconditional and unfailing love for you... Once you allow that to daily penetrate your heart.. And thanking Him for helping you to trust Him...One day you will find your trust issue is not an issue anymore, but the very thing that fills you with complete and utter joy. The kind you've been searching for all your life to fill you, but were never, and will never, be able to be filled by any human, place, thing, drug or drink. Only God can fulfill that spot. Trust Him to do it, keep trusting Him and drawing nearer to Him... Then one day you'll turn around and find it isn't hard at all. And so worth it!
Jesus Calling says this today:
Rejoice and be thankful! As you walk with Me through this day, practice trusting and thanking Me along the way. Trust is the channel through which My Peace flows into you. Thankfulness lifts you up above your circumstances. I do My greatest works through people with grateful,
trusting hearts. Rather than planning and evaluating, practice trusting and thanking Me continually. This is a paradigm that will revolutionize
your life.
Phil 4:4. Psl 95:1-2 Psl 9:10
