POSITIVE THINKING/VISUALIZATION
Robin:
Thank you Dwight and thank you Jennie.
Jennie, I know that God has caused all in your life to drag you to him. You are one of a handful of called that are here with us today. I thank God that he dragged you here. You brighten up our days.
Dwight, I was reminded of this scripture after reading what you wrote. Sometimes we are giving all we have from our want and not from our abundance. We give what God has given us to give.
Mark 12
42And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
44For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Maybe because I am a country person, dragging makes me think of being pulled by the collar with gravels scraping your back. I think of God's open arms accepting me and loving me. Loving me.... imagine that! A kid/teen who was so low and felt so undeserving of god's love and acceptance. I pictured myself as something way, way low but God saw something different.
DWIGHT:
Lisa said, "Keep your EYES ON JESUS and this too shall pass! HE will SEE you through."
This reminds me of that chorus, "...turn your eyes upon Jesus....look full in His wonderful face....and the things of earth will grow strangely dim....in the light of His glory and grace.." Oh Lord! cause us to keep our eyes only on you.
"Psalms 27:4 - One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple."
Darren writes, "...there is so much to learn..." Matt. 11:29, " Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
Arcturus says, "..a strengthening balm to my soul.." Again, another chorus comes to mind, "...it is well...it is well...with my soul..."
M.G. "...sometimes we are giving all we have from our want and not from our abundance..." " Psalms 37:11 - But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."
Thank you all for your love and understanding; it really helps to walk with the Lord when we walk together.
In His mercy and peace,
Dwight
Redbird:
Col 3: 16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
I can almost hear the heavenly choir. Beautiful.
Praise be to God.

Even when things are going extremely bad, you are to remember who you are and what is in store for you at the end of things.
"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice (jump up and down happy) , and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." Matthew 5:11-12
Count it all joy. Be anxious for nothing. Whatever is of good report, think on such things. God is working it all to good.
