Psalm 39:14
" . . . fearfully and wonderfully made." (Psalm. 39:14)
"Walk with Me in intimate Love-steps, but do not lose sight of My Majesty. I desire to be your closest Friend, yet I am also your sovereign Lord. I created your brain with capacity to know Me as Friend and Lord simultaneously. The human mind is the pinnacle of My creation, but so few use it for its primary purpose -- knowing Me. I communicate continually through My Spirit, My Word, and My Creation. You are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made."
- Jesus Calling, September 29

Jesus Calling
"Relax
in My everlasting arms Gini. Your weakness is an
opportunity to grow strong in Awareness of My Almighty Presence. When
your energy fails you, do not look inward and lament the lack you find
there. Look to Me and My sufficiency; rejoice in My radiant riches that
are abundantly available to help you."

JESUS CALLING DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS
"Live first and foremost in My Presence. Gradually you will become more aware of Me than of people and places around you. This awareness will not detract from your relationships with others. Instead, it will increase your ability to give love and encouragement to them. My Peace will permeate your words and demeanor. You will be active in the world, yet one step removed from it. You will not be easily shaken, because My enveloping Presence buffers the blow of problems. This is the path I have set before you. As you follow it wholeheartedly, you experience abundant Life and Peace." Psalm 89: 15,15; Psalm 16:8; 2 Pater 1:2

Patchwork Quilts...
"All of our lives are like patchwork quilts.
How dull and dreary they would be without darker patches to contrast with the lighter ones.
Many of us have never realized how dreary and lifeless our existence would be
without problems and difficulties.
Part of the blessing of the human journey is that we are in fact human, and therefore wonderfully complex and changing constantly."
Tim Hansel book - You Gotta Keep Dancin'
pp. 113 - 114. Tim died in 2009 after 35 years of chronic pain.

Feeling Heavy Burdens - YOKE TO JESUS
Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me,

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
