Faith

  So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. 1 Peter 1:6-7

 

Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible, and receives the impossible.

 

Faith is not a sense, not sight, not reason, but taking God at his Word. -Faith Evans

Fulfilled

Those who Hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on the wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isiah 40:31

 

Lift up your eyes. Your heavenly Father waits to bless you-in inconceivable ways to make you life what you never dreamed it could be. God created us with an overwhelming desire to soar... He designed us to be tremendously productive and "mount up with wings like eagles" realistically dreaming of what He can do with our potential.-Carol Kent

Anger

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32

 

 Anger is like the red light that warns you on your cars dashboard. You can either stop and deal with the problem, or you can break the light. The light itself (which represents anger) is not the problem, its just warning you that there is something that you need to stop and deal with.

Whole

Run to me, I'll hold you close, curing your hearts ache with my tender knowing touch, I'll sew us every break, memories and scars fade, like the end of the day when my love my love is planted there, and the pain is washed away.  I am your prince of peace, the lover of your soul, let me in. I'll mend your heart, my love will make you whole.
Luke 4:18

Deeds

  What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. James 2:14-19

Its what we do for Christ here and now, that will make a difference then and there!

Spirit

What does God want? God wants us to be filled up with His spirit:

If we get so filled up with worldly things, we will not have time or room for Jesus >
    Empty yourselves so that you will be filled with the Holy Spirit

Praise

When I think of your faithfulness, I have to sing and and shout, to declare I am 

aware of where you brought me out,
When I think of your kindness I fall to my knees, heart contrite will all 

my might, its you I long to please,
When I think of your Goodness, heart and hands raise, Ill take this chance, 

with you I ll dance and give you all my praise

Psalm 9:1-2

Beauty

God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 7:11

The patterns of our days are always changing...rearranging...and each design for living is unique...graced with its own special beauty.

Everything

I am truth, I am love, I am what you have need of,

give me all, not just part, I will live inside your heart.
Everyday, every worry, every care, all your burdens, I will bear
Just your ashes you can bring, Ill breathe life in everything,
I am everything

Revelation 1:8

Fly

When God leads you to the edge of a cliff, trust him and LET GO! 1 of 2 things will happen: He will catch you or teach you to fly.

Read

From Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 the bible is God revelation of Himself to us. Its how we get to know Him. Its how we learn to become who He wants us the be. its how we learn to live a life for Him, which it so happens, the better life.

 

Read it to be Wise

Believe it to be Safe

Practice it to be Holy

Lamp

Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
   don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
   he's the one who will keep you on track.
Proverbs 3: 5-6

When you walk down the path holding the "lamp" it illuminates only your next step or two- just enough to continue down the path. It does not shine off into the distance to reveal your destination or what lies ahead, only where your need to place your next step.
