The Power of Jesus...Friday

7/18/14 

I find myself having a much happier heart and a smile on my face more often now that I let the power of Jesus control my emotions.  Yes, I get the negative thoughts with the current depression I am going through, as well as the instant irritability that comes along with this time of my life; however, I am not allowing them to control my life.


I love being able to hand over my problems to the Lord.  Being the silly human that I am, I must do that continually throughout all days, but, instead of getting upset with myself over having to repeat this task so many times, I revel in the joy of having to stop my thoughts and reroute them to the happy and serene place that God has provided for me.

Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save
 he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love;
 he will exult over you with loud singing.

Proverbs 8:17
I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.

Deuteronomy 7:9
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, 
the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those 
who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.

The comfort and security that I receive when I go through these thoughts just amazes me.  I can be feeling so low and the light goes on telling me that there is no reason for me to feel that way.  I have been saved by the everlasting love of my Father.  He has done the ultimate for me and for all of you, as well.

John 3:16
 (ESV)
  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, 
that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

When I turn my thoughts to Jesus and thank Him for being my hero, I know that whatever my current earthly problem is I will come out better on the other side and travel through it with a love and peacefulness. I know I would not have this without my Jesus by my side.  I have so many silly little issues right now that I have been not liking to deal with, but, I know that I can deal with them and the guidance I am receiving from God along the way is certainly making this season a happy one that is going to be the time of my life.  

Thank you, Jesus!!  I praise you!!

    God keeps his promises and the power in the name of Jesus breaks chains. It is a very good practice to go to Him when we are overwhelmed by the challenges of life. This is where we will always find help.

    God bless...
