Don't say at all......

 Psalm 19:14

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Words do have the power to break or mend, wound or heal. 

Abba Father may our words bring healing to the wounded, 

hope to the hopeless, bind the broken, help to lead the lost and 

wandering souls to you. Let our words be seasoned with salt. 

Forgive us for reckless words, O Lord 

In Jesus Name Amen

Colossians 4:6

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Children are precious!

Hi...family, friends, brothers and sisters,

This is the day  Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it!

November 14th is celebrated as the "Children's Day" in India. Well, are children to be remembered and appreciated just on one day in the year? 

♥Children are a gift from God. He entrusted them to us. There are angels assigned to watch over little children. 

**Matthew 18: 10 "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven." 

♥And these angels always watch the Father's face. So we need to value our kids, each of them are special in God's eyes. 

♥Let kids not be aborted or ignored. God cares for a child, right from when it's formed in it's mothers womb. 

They are precious!

 **HEBREWS 11:23 says,"By Faith Moses' parents hid him for 3 months after he was born because they say he was no ordinary child and they were not afraid of the king's edict."

♥Every child on earth is special because God has great plans for each of them.

The Bible says in 
**Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." 

♥So, If we show our children when they are young the right and only way of truth, as they grow older even if they go astray or wander away, they will know to find their way back!

The only way we need to show are kids is the way of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only way, truth and life!

John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

♥If our kids wander away from the path they are trained to walk as we fervently pray the Lord will bring them back  from their captivity. With our Lord there is always hope, as we persevere in prayer the Lord will bring them back. God's Word says in...
**Jeremiah 31:16-17 "Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they [your children] shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border."

Let us always pray blessing over our children. God has given them to us to bring them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Bill Gothard writes, "A verbal blessing is made up of three powerful forces: our words, God's Word, and God's name. The power of our words alone is affirmed by the Scripture that states, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21)."

♥Let us be there for our kids when they need us...

May God bless all children young and old, now and always.

"A PASSIONATE CHRISTIAN WOMAN"~ Author Unknown

"A PASSIONATE CHRISTIAN WOMAN"

What does a passionate Christian woman look like?
Well, she’s not a woman who’s perfect, peerless or guiltless, but is as human as you and me.
 Essentially, a passionate Christian woman is someone who has a deep passion for the things of God and is driven to do something about it.

She is a woman who thirsts for God. He is the driving force of her existence, the meaning behind her life. She doesn't live primarily for the latest fads, fashions, or fancies, but for God (1 Peter 3:3,4). She cares little for fame or fortune, recognition or reward. Instead, she has experienced the intense satisfaction of a personal relationship with a holy God, and just as a deer longs for a cool, refreshing stream to enjoy, so she longs for her God (Psalm 42:1).
She hungers for truth.  In a confused world where wrong often seems right, a passionate believer pursues God’s truth with intensity and determination. Never one to accept mere human opinion or feeling-based experience, she considers God’s Word to be as necessary to her as her daily food.   She has a Berean mindset,

(Acts 17:11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.) 

persistently comparing the spoken word to the written Word, and sifting it to find the truth. A passionate Christian woman is passionate about the Bible, for therein God has revealed His heart and mind for mankind.

She loves others with Godly passion. She demonstrates sincere concern, models unconditional love, and does her utmost to influence those around her for heaven. She doesn't portray one who has arrived, but one who knows where she’s going. Then she coaxes and encourages and helps others to join her on her journey. Her love is practical, pure and positive. The motivation for her outreach is her up-reach to God, and she does it with fervency and attention to detail.
She lives today with tomorrow in mind. A passionate Christian woman knows her time is limited. She is acutely aware that her life is as a drop in the bucket of time and eternity. She will pass off the scene all too quickly with only her influence remaining. She realizes she has no second chance, no life “held over on account of rain”. So she is compelled to live each day to its fullest with this goal in mind: to follow hard on the heels of the very God in whom we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28).  Fulfilling today’s duties while fixing her eyes on the goal, she is committed to going out with a bang instead of a whimper.
Finally, a passionate Christian woman avoids sin so she can gain intimacy with God. Though the world allures and tempts, this child of God knows her boundaries and accepts her playground. She doesn't walk the fence row, desirous of the apple across the way. She romps in the field God has given her, content to run home at the end of the day with clean hands and a pure conscience.
Is this a description of the perfect Christian woman? No, but rather of a passionate one. Passionate Christian women don’t have boundless amounts of energy, super-human strength, or a superior spirituality. In fact, they are utterly ordinary – failing, falling, and tired at the end of the day. They are tested and found wanting all too often. But they have heard from God through His Word, seen Him work in their lives, and have experienced peace, answered prayer, and power and comfort through the Holy Spirit. Thus their heart is fixed, their commitment firm, their joy complete. They learn and grow, and find divine purpose in mundane tasks and the every day routine of living.
They are passionate believers living a purposeful life, alive with a passion for God!

Though a passionate Christian woman may fail and fall, she is quick to recognize the love, forgiveness and strength of her God...   ~~Unknown~~

" For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7 NLT) " In quietness and trust is your strength." (Isaiah 30:15 NASB) " Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing." " Let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us."(Hebrews 12:1)  " OBEDIENCE "
God has a beautiful necklace that He wants to put on each of His precious daughters. He holds it in His hands, waiting. It's a necklace that He will fasten around your neck willingly, if you'll let Him. What do you have to do? Simply accept it and wear it. What a beautiful necklace? Obedience. The Christian / believing woman who chooses to wear such a beautiful and unusual necklace will stand out in the world around her. Why? Her disposition is different. She walks in humility rather than demanding her rights. Her attitude is different, especially the way she handles the problems and trials that come her way. She realizes that God has allowed the things that have touched her life. Because of that, she is able to rely on His strength, His peace, and wisdom to carry her through. She's confident that her loving heavenly Father will show her the way. And she is able to resist temptation toward a bad attitude and to guard her heart from the enemy. She's a woman whose life is characterized by obedience to the Word of God.
Let me ask you this: Do others see Jesus shining forth in you? Is your necklace so beautiful that others are compelled to notice?  Do others, even want what you have? Daughters of God, now is the time for you to shine, step out in faith, now is the time to trust God and bring Him glory in all that you do and say.The world will be foreced to pay attention to that kind of a woman ! God is at work and it's His desire to develop in you a spirit of obedience, of being fearless to do His will, of worship, and of love. Is there an area of your life where God is requiring something of you? Do it now and don't delay. For life on earth is short, eternity isn't. Disobedience dulls your necklace. Since He will not go against your will, your part is to cooperate with Him with a sincere humble heart.A willingness to serve. Pause and think about that... (Unknown)

A Proverbs 31 woman

A Proverbs 31 woman, may be a daughter, sister, mother, grand-mother, friend, aunt but above all this she's the Child of the Most High God, The King of Kings.

She's a daughter of a King!

Jesus(YESHUA) died for her too and loves her too!

" A woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates." (Proverbs 31:31) " A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life . . . She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue . . . Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." (Proverbs 31: 10-11, 25-26, 30, NIV)

"You are too special for Him to forget, too important for Him to neglect, too precious for Him to ignore. That's why He set you before His eyes and crafted you on His palms that He might remember you forever, as long as He lives. So be not discouraged, Jesus is concerned about you always."

God Bless you...

❀"TRUST" This a very important ingredient in building a strong relationship.

Hi..

❀ "TRUST" This a very important ingredient in building a strong relationship.

❀Trust is never doubting another person for a second.

❀Trust is knowing that person is not going to betray you.

❀No relationship can survive if trust is missing. Marriages and friendships have been broken by the destruction of trust. 

Are we worthy of trust?

Can someone confide their struggles and feelings and be sure it is safe with us?

Is our "Yes" a "yes"

and our "No" a "No"?

Are we true in commitments we make?

Can our words be trusted?

Once I read some postings by a brother-in-Christ, Michael and was really blessed.

He writes...

❀Trustworthiness means

· Be Honest

· Don’t deceive, cheat, or steal

· Be reliable- do what you say you’ll do

· Have the courage to do the right thing

· Build a good reputation

· Be loyal- stand by your family, friends and country.

God placed us in families and connects us to people and all things will work out for our good when we trust in Him! God is even concerned for the lonely and picks them up and places them in families or in a place of security! 

Psalm 68:6 "God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing"

And even if we feel we have no one, there is a God who will never abandon us! He is always trustworthy!

Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Relationships based on love, honor, respect, faith, trust, with family members, friends, fellow believers in Christ, co-workers, neighbors, will not only enrich our lives but will...

❀make a house a home,

❀makes us feel special,

❀help us grow in our spiritual life,

❀make us feel secure and safe

❀help us find people who will lift us up when we fall down,

❀helps us live in harmony with our neighbors,

❀make the atmosphere at work place lively,

So let us strengthen these relationships!

"If therefore there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others." Philippians 2:1-4 (NASB)

❀May God give us the gift of trust out of sheer love. May we learn to be trustworthy out of a genuine concern for integrity and the relationship..

Stay Blessed,

YSIC,

Hang in there~BY: Denise Lanford

Hang In There Just "hang in there", when things get rough... There are countless times when life gets tough. Just tie that knot, and hold on tight, it won't be long, till it's "alright". Say a prayer, and ask your friends to pray for you, so prayers ascend! Just hang on tight, help will arrive... it may seem "hopeless", but it's "in God's time". So hang in there! He's watching too, He knows your strength, for he gave it to you. So, say a prayer, and hang on tight.... don't give up, soon it will be alright!  BY:  Denise Lanford

~HOME~

~Home~
By wisdom a house is built, and
through understanding it is established;
through knowledge it's rooms are filled
with rare and beautiful treasures
Proverbs 24:3-4

Families are woven together with memories
and bound by a Mother's love and Father's care.

Having a place to go is Home
Having someone to love is Family
Having special people in your life are Friends
Having all three is a Blessing. Psalm121:1 "Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain." Let JESUS CHRIST our Lord be the Head of our Homes. Let Him be a silent listener to our every conversation. Let's not leave Him out of any discussion. Let HIM have His way in our lives and Home. Be Blessed Julia

Home sweet home...:)

The Lord Blesses the home of the Righteous. (Proverbs 3:33)

Psalm 84:3, Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young— a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
Home Is Where The Flowers Bloom

Home is where the flowers bloom
and children love to play,
And mother's whispered lullaby
Is heard at end of day.
Home is where the Bible's read
and children learn to pray
Before they hurry off to school
and put their toys away.
Home is where you live a dream
that others make come true
Because they love you as you are
and want the best for you.
Home is where the years fly by
on wings of solid gold.
And memories are precious gems
To treasure when we're old.
Home is where the flowers bloom
although we are apart,
And we can smell the roses
forever in our heart.
~~Clay Harrison~~

Every house where love abides
And friendship is a guest
Is surely home
And home sweet home
For there the heart can rest
~Henry Van Dyke


Today, I pray  that God's favor and grace will be your portion. May the Lord's presence flood your homes May God Bless You

What makes a house a home...?

Psalm 127:1

 Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.

It's said: Quote>>It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home.<<Unquote

True!

A house may be built by the best architect, have many rooms, can have the best furniture, good interiors or it may just be a little hut but if love, understanding, communication, acceptance, forgiveness, faith , hope, trust, inspiration, comfort is not present within it's walls in midst of all the ups and downs, joys and sorrow, abundance and lack.....it cannot really be a home!

The Lord Blesses the home of the Righteous. (Proverbs 3:33) Julia

If we need to blossom like a rose...

Hi Family and friends....

Read this beautiful quote once...

"If you desire to Blossom like a rose in a garden. You have to learn the art of adjusting with the thorns."

How true this is, each of us desire to blossom like the rose but find it difficult to face hard and tough situations in life.

Even Our Lord Jesus refines us like Silver.

PSALM 66:10

"For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver."

When God allows us to pass through testing times we should know we'll come out stronger and better.

ISAIAH 48:10,

"See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction."

Daniel 11: 35,

"Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.

Malachi 3:3,

"He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver."

1 Peter 1:7

These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Let's learn to face the trials of life that seem to be like thorns. Then we too will blossom like a beautiful rose.

We need to learn to cope with pain, rejection, misunderstanding, loss, death etc.

When we faithfully endure, in due season God will help us bloom.

Stay Blessed,

May Grace and Peace of our Lord Jesus be Multiplied on each of you.

Good Night

YSIC,

Julia
