Matthew 11:28 & Isaiah 55:10-11

I think as long as we have hope & faith in God living in our spirits, it is possible to feel waves or murmurs of gratitude in our hearts from time to time, even though our bodies may be infirmed in some way & our minds may be cluttered with worry, grief, stress, anger & fear. However, at those times when we are journeying through seasons of suffering, be it of body or mind, I think if our spirits are not fed, we can lose hope & our faith can waver, blocking & unbalancing any healing & subsequent wellness to our mind & body as well as to our spirit.

Matthew 11:28 & Isaiah 55:10-11

God’s mercy & goodness will never fail us.  God calls us to come to Him for He seeks wholeness for all of His creation.  In times of suffering, we can choose to unburden our hearts & lift up thanks, praise & rejoicing to our holy living God for all the blessings & healing we have received & will receive, for He has promised to heal us & to give us new life.

Romans 4:13-25

Given our view of waiting, it is interesting that the word “waiting” is one of the most frequently used words in both the Old & the New Testament of the Holy Bible

Romans 4:13-25

To wait with openness & trust is a huge radical attitude toward life. It is giving up control over our future & letting God define our life. 

Mark 15

So, as we step into a new calendar year, living outside the boundaries of time, since God’s Kingdom is fulfilled & is at hand, where do we fit in? 

Mark 15

This much we do know, God is at hand, always inviting us to new beginnings as individuals & as a community of faith called to carry on Jesus’ ministry. For His name is eternal for us & living into it & reflecting it out to others is our purpose for being.

Psalm 100:1-5

The imperative to rejoice & give thanks in an attitude of thanksgiving are the two most frequently stated imperatives in the Holy Bible.

Psalm 100:1-5

When we recognize God & the goodness & beauty of all that He has created & all that He gives to us, it will turn our hearts from the suffering, indifference, hopelessness & despair of life that we experience from time to time, into praiseful, prayerful & hopeful rejoicing, which will naturally fill our hearts with the peace that surpasses all earthly understanding.
