God's Got The Power!

God's power can transform our lives. Our finite minds cannot comprehend an infinite God. God's power changes us!

...that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, Ephesians 3:16-17

We limit God's power in our lives because we don't fully understand or trust Him. We begin to worry, fear and doubt. We limit God's power with anger, un-forgiveness, gossip, sarcasm, cruelty and bitterness. If we are truly rooted and grounded in love according to these verses then there would be no room for any of those things.

Our sin keeps God's power from transforming our lives!

Negative Nuggets

                                                 

There is always someone in our families, in our church and in our community that carries the mother load of "negative nuggets" for anyone who will take time to listen. We have to purposefully keep those negative messages from our ears so that we do not make decisions in our life because of them.

The best way for me personally to eliminate negative nuggets in my own life is to spend as much time with children as possible ~ they keep my mind uncluttered!

This quote was written by George Bernard Shaw. The picture was taken when my husband was watching and singing along to the movie "Frozen" with our grandkids.

Strength In Weakness

2 Corinthians 12:9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

It's okay to be weak because God is strong ~ It's okay not to have all the answers because God knows it all ~ It's okay to be wrong because God makes all things right!  Know that God has allowed it for His purpose. It's not personal even when everything around us seems to be against us. It is God who can work through us in our darkest hour. 

We can do ALL things through Christ 

who will strengthen us!
