Have you ever felt overwhelmed with all that life throws your way? Have you ever had a day, week, or a season that seemed too big to get through? Have you ever felt like you know you should be looking up, but your head just feels too heavy?
Me? Yes, to all of the above.
I am grateful that when I feel overwhelmed Jesus can catch and carry all that is coming my way, it is no surprise to Him. When life seems too big, He is bigger. When I can't look up, He is holding me in His hands. When my faith seems to small, His is more then enough. When doubt crawls into my mind, He is still faithful.
If what you are going through right now, seems too big...
If what you are seeing looks impossible...
Don't be discouraged, don't lose hope.
God has not left you or forsaken you.
His promises have not stopped working in your life.
Walk by faith, not by sight, right around the corner is the promise, the promise that belongs to you. The promise that Jesus purchased for you. The promise for your health, your children, your finances, your family etc...
It's there, it's for you, because of Jesus. Because of what He has done for you.
You qualify because you are hidden in Christ.
You don't have to earn it or deserve it. Jesus did them both.
God has not changed His mind about loving you. Even when you may have changed your mind about loving yourself.
If you feel frustrated think about what you are thinking about. The impossibility of your situation...Or, the endless possibilities that are found in Christ.
I needed a reminder today; I though maybe you might need one too.
Being Loved By Him, With You,

I often have to remind myself that hope and expectations are not the same thing.
As all 'hell' was breaking lose, or like I am starting to say instead (different outlook), the Holy Spirit 'piercing' us (refining us and it's hot in the furnace), I was sitting in our room and praying and peace just washed over me. Even though ,EVEN THOUGH nothing had changed in the physical realm, peace reigned. That IS God. I told hubby the other day how I was in awe at how well we have been dealing with the insurmountable stress that has been going on in our lives and how healthy we have been reacting.That God WAS doing a new thing within our family. Even tough, even though everything looks impossible, peace is reigning and hope is there....for those who hope in the Lord will NOT be disappointed.

AMEN..great reminder!
Blessings, hugs, and prayers,

I smiled as I read this today Daveda because I definitely needed this reminder too. :) Still praying for you and Chris.
I'm glad you're blogging again. You always to minister to me. :)
Daveda,
I think we always need to be reminded of these as well as taking a look back on our previous trials and victories with Jesus by our side. How quick we are to forget those times when we once more find ourselves waist deep or even neck deep in new storms. We simply need to look up and change our focus to look upon Jesus instead. That is when the seas will calm.

I hope things are looking up for you my friend!

"think about what you are thinking about. The impossibility of your situation...Or, the endless possibilities that are found in Christ...."
True words, cos the endless possibilities we have in God far outweighs the issues we face in life.
Daveda,
Please help me spread the word of a sister in Christ who so desperately needs help with a limited amount of time left.

perhaps we'd do better if we always felt overwhelmed - and that the only help and hope was outside of us, in Christ.
I'm glad you're blogging again. You always to minister to me.

Nice post. This seems to be an overwhelming time for a lot of people around me -- not economic, as one might expect, but medical!
BTW, I want to let you and other followers know that my Blest Atheist blogspot went down. I replaced it with 100th Lamb (www.emahlou.blogspot.com). I explain why there.

Our current posts could go hand in hand :)
"The impossibility of your situation...Or, the endless possibilities that are found in Christ."
Exactly! We always have a choice. Christ went to the cross that we might have CHOICE.
Gos is faithful! Good uplifting post.
