God’s Gift Of Joy ~

God’s gift of joy,
is ours to embrace
for it’s brimming full . . .
of His love and grace.

Despite our troubles,
joy encourages us
to never give up
in the God we trust.

God’s gift of joy,
is such a blessing
when our troubles are
urgent and pressing.

It makes our heart,
feel better and brighter
for joy make our burdens
seem so much lighter.

God’s gift of joy,
is all of ours to choose
so give joy a try . . .
what have you to lose!

Romans 15:13

abound in hope, through
the power of the Holy Ghost.

Good Morning Quote ~03.28.19~

He Restores My Joy ~

He restores my soul,
from the daily fatigue
He repairs my nerves
my fears, He relieves.

He restores my heart,
from its heaviness
He removes the pain
the hurt, the weariness.

He restores my faith,
when weakness sets in
He resets my trust
to follow after Him.

He restores my belief,
when there is doubt
He reinstates in my life
what His truth is about.

He restores my joy,
of a future sighting
He returns my watch
for that eye twinkling!

Psalm 51:12

“Restore unto me the joy
of thy salvation; and uphold
me with thy free spirit.”

Give Jesus an Earful ~

Whenever you are anxious,
nervous or fearful . . .
take it straight to the cross
give Jesus an earful.

Tell Him about your cares,
your every single worry
rest with Him for a while
do not be in a hurry.

Let Him know the reasons,
you feel like you do
speak with Him as if . . .
He’s right next to  you.

In your conversation,
hold nothing back
tell Him all about
the faith that you lack.

Tarry and stay with Him,
until you begin to feel
His peace and serenity
the calmness, to be still.

When you are anxious,
give Jesus an earful . .
for He doesn’t want you
to be worried or fearful!

Psalm 34:4

“I sought the Lord, and he heard me,
and delivered me from all my fears.”

Get on Your Knees ~

When life has you down,
and troubles are all around
no matter the time of day . . .
get on your knees and pray.

When you don’t know what to do,
and fear has a hold on you
whether it be night or day . . .
get on your knees and pray.

When your spirit is uneasy,
and your stomach feels queasy
it doesn’t matter the day . . .
get on your knees and pray.

When your worries pile high,
and all you can do is cry
all throughout the day . . .
get on your knees and pray.

When anxiety tears you apart
and stress is upon your heart
today and everyday . . .
get on your knees and pray.

For,  God will bring you peace,
as He listens to your prayers
and you will find relief . . .
from all your burdens and cares!

~~~~~~~~~~

Philippians 4:6-7

” Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer
and supplication with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known unto God.”

And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.”

Give Me Your Yoke ~

Come unto Me, My beloved,
give Me your yoke to bear
loosen from your shoulders
the burdens that on you wear.

Give unto Me, all your troubles,
nothing is too difficult for Me
take off those chains that bind
and keep you from being free.

Give unto Me, all your worries,
place them here at My feet
rid yourself of the constraints
that ties you up in defeat.

Give unto Me, your heavy load,
place it right here in My hand
work loose that which binds you
and experience My perfect plan.

Come unto Me, My beloved,
there is nothing that I can’t do
take off the yoke that keeps away
the love that I have for you!

~~~~~~~~

Matthew 11:28-30

“Come unto me,
all ye that labour
and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.

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.

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