New Mercies, Every Moment Has A Morning

Sometimes mercy does not always look like what we think it should. It comes in many forms: an encouraging or exhorting phone call from a friend, a spiritual message given by someone…as a still small voice or a loud sounding trumpet.
Mercies may come as a sense of peace when resting in Him…as small seemingly insignificant thoughts which we need to grasp a hold of and believe or through a Scripture we hear or read…through a message or through the beauty of nature…yes, and even through a storm.
Mercies may come when you are listening to a song and feel your heart being tugged at to receive its words as truth in your life… or as words of victory, comfort, obedience, hope, correction, instruction…whatever they might be.
To give reference as to how many ways there are to receive the mercies, comfort and loving- kindness of God on a daily basis is impossible. They are as varied as the people He has created. However, I think you get the point.
His thoughts toward us are beyond measure, therefore; we should without fear and with great pleasure endeavor to find them out on a moment by moment basis. Doing so will save us a lot of grief all while illuminating the path ahead of us.
Once we have received a new mercy, a comfort or a new expression of His loving-kindness we must do what Psalms 59:16 (noted above) instructs us to do. We must sing, speak, declare or whatever He tells us to do in response to the new mercies He gives. When we do, faith comes and we are encouraged to press on all the while putting the past behind us.
Every mercy we receive takes us further in the process and we would be foolish to look back at where we were. No matter how small the step we take is, we are still further along than we were before. How comforting is that…very?
In conclusion, take the time to be with Him in whatever way you are being led to do so. Listen and receive the things He gives you…the new mercies He longs to feed you and let them penetrate your soul man. Know your born again spirit is already perfect in Him, loved by Him and longs to flow like rivers of living water into your mind, will and emotions until you know Him as He knows you.
Yes, His mercies are new every morning…every moment…for every moment in time has its own morning. Selah

Years Of Preparation

“Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains (James 5:7 NIV).
As the farmer waits for the rain with patience so must you wait for Me. The many years you have spent in preparation were necessary to the outcome I have planned.
It is like the farmer who takes a completely wooded area, overgrown and uncared for, and transforms it step by step into a rich and profitable piece of farmland-a beautiful garden. He understands the necessary steps and doesn’t require his land to produce before it is ready. Land forced into production before its time results in immature, disease-prone fruit. Therefore, the farmer gardens with patience, content to pursue the vision while valuing the process.
The process is as important as the outcome, teaching him perseverance and understanding (Colossians 1:10-12). Once the wooded area is turned into farmland, there will still be many days ahead requiring those lessons learned in the beginning. Standing on his porch with face to the horizon, waiting for rain, the farmer knows its arrival will signal the beginning of a new cycle. He has seen it before and learned well. This season, however; is to be different, yielding the fruit of a lifetime.
Envisioning his garden dancing with abundance before even one sprout pierces the soil allows him to rejoice beforehand. Beloved it is time for you to envision, imagine, see, believe and rejoice. Your time has come.

All Endings Are New Beginnings

All endings are also beginnings; we just dont know it at the time.
Did you know there aren't really failures in life, until you stop trying? Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote, if you are going to make a book end badly, it must end badly from the beginning. Though he was making a reference to writing a book, this quote can most definitely be made true and be put to good use in our own lives.

Don't let the book of your life end badly, many of us have bad starts while we are finding our way, but there are only a few who can pull out the greatness inside of themselves consistently enough to make their legacy a great one.

Every time you don't get what you want out of a situation, every time that you don't achieve the results that you were trying to achieve, is a new chance to start over, and go for them again. You may have to change up your game plan to get where you want to, but never give up!

When You Really Matter To Someone

When you really matter to someone that person will always make time for you. No excuses, no lies, and no broken promises.
Really being an important part in a person's life means a lot of things. When someone really matters to you it is crucial that you are willing to show them just how much they may mean to you by respecting them, honoring them, and never taking them, their time, or their feelings for granted. When you really matter to someone, that person will always be willing to make time for you. That person will never use an excuse to avoid being there for you.

That person will never consider hurting your heart by telling you anything besides the truth, and will never risk losing your trust by breaking a promise that they made to you. Really mattering to someone should never leave a doubt in a person's mind of whether or not you will always be there for the person you matter to. Remember in love that there are never any excuses good enough for not being there; there are never any lies or broken promises that will ever be better than honest words and honest actions.

Feelings Change, Memories Don't

Feelings change, memories don't.
In order to truly let go of a person or a relationship that ended abruptly and unexpectedly in life, we have to realize at some point that feelings change, and memories don't. Over time, usually the separation of two people causes feelings to change between these two, though the two may share very pleasant memories for years, memories by themselves simply aren't enough to keep two souls bound together. In order to keep the flame of a relationship lit, a couple has to be willing to keep lighting the candle.

A pair has to be willing to work hard at making each other happy, and willing to put effort into communicating effectively in their relationship. One thing that is promised at a relationship's end is that there will always be memories for both parties to take with them while parting ways. Through all of the pain and struggle just try hard to remember that feelings sometimes change, but the memories you have are yours for the rest of your lifetime.

Never Hate Those People Who Are Jealous Of You

Never hate those people who are jealous of you but respect their jealousy because they are the ones who think that you are better than them.
When people hate on you, or seem to be jealous of you, never think that you are doing something wrong, because in fact the only time you will have haters is when you are making some kind of progress in life. Think about it. Do you know people without haters? Usually these are the people who are making no attempts to do anything in life but stay afloat.

Think about the people in your life who are committed to action, and bettering their selves on a daily basis. Even the most friendly and most kind of your friends who is putting forth major effort to better their lives has probably received hate from someone, and probably very undeservingly so.

It is in some of our peer's DNA to try and discourage people from doing what they are supposed to be doing, and telling people that they are wrong. Keep on your course and remain courageous!
