Beloved–
Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble … People may be right in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their heart. (from Proverbs)
I not only need to be careful to think before I speak — being careful that my words are not critical or hurtful — I also need to mean it from the bottom of my heart.
I pray for you daily because the God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit loves you.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs … The Lord’s light penetrates the human spirit, exposing every hidden motive. (from Proverbs)
This last 8 weeks not only have I had to “overlook” unpleasant situations, I couldn’t even rehearse them in my mind or put them on a list. I have to count them as another found joy in the Lord!
I pray for you everyday that you find another reason for your joy in the God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
Listen as Wisdom calls out! Hear as understanding raises her voice! “I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment. I know where to discover knowledge and discernment … “And so, my children, listen to me, for all who follow my ways are joyful … (from Proverbs)
I know I’m guided in my choices by the Holy Spirit through the grace of God and his willing sacrifice of his only son on the cross of Calvary, so I could come into his holy presence, and trust in his Holy Word. So I choose to be joy full!
I pray for you everyday. If you make what you think is the wisest choice prayerfully, even if looks the like the most difficult, the Lord will (some day) will show you that it was part of his plan … so now choose to be happy!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–

My life does not always make me happy but I always have joy.
I am praying for you and praising the Lord I can.

I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart … I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. (from Psalm)

I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! (from Psalms)
God knows what he is doing and just because I can’t always understand doesn’t make it not true..
Luv Ya!

The Lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. (from Psalms)
I pray for you every day to know that you can cast all your cares and concerns on God, your burden bearer. He will take care of everything, you don’t have to do anything, but wait. Praising the God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!

For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism … For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. (from Romans)
When I came up out of the waters of baptism I was elated with the joy of knowing that I would never be alone again. I forgot the dead part; I was a new creature but my sin nature was dead and buried and without power.
I pray for you daily to remember that your sin nature is dead to you and you are alive to and belong to the God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
“Listen to me, O family of Jacob, Israel my chosen one! I alone am God, the First and the Last … We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. (from Isaiah and Proverbs)
God knows the beginning and the end of every situation — and determines my path. My life appears to be upside down and six ways to Sunday and yet my heart is at peace and full of joy.
I pray for you daily to KNOW God’s care for you and praising the God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
… now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. (from the Word)
I pray for you every day to understand that “right standing with God” give us, through the work of the Holy Spirit in us, the “delight” to step into the path that God has placed before us. Knowing that his plan for each of us is perfect, so that we can have joy in the God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!
Luv Ya!
