IN THE MIDST OF MY MOURNING ~~~ THERE IS HOPE

IN THE MIDST OF MY MOURNING

~ There is HOPE ~

In the midst of my mourning

You come ~ quietly

To my inner world of

Stillness ~ you know

All of me--more than I’ll

Ever know & You understand my

Painful journey ~ the unrequited desires

The unleashed potentials,

The deep sadness & yet…

Ever the hope that swells within me.

Then I look on Your loving,

Welcoming Face

And sigh a sigh of love & inner calmness

And I remember…those who hope

In Your mercy will not be

Ashamed or disappointed.

Yes, in the midst of my mourning

You come ~ quietly

To soothe my weary soul

To lift my drooping head

To touch my aching heart

And You bring a fresh smile

To my face ~ for You,

In the midst of my mourning…

                                You bring me fresh HOPE.                     6-25-16

Psalm 31:24

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.




Psalm 33:18

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;




Psalm 42:5

Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

Psalm 71:14

But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

Psalm 119:116

Uphold me according unto Your word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

PAIN ELICITS THE HEART OF GOD

April 7, 2013

Life surely has it's challenges.  Each new day has it's battles and it's victories.  God promised to cause us always to triumph in Him and He IS Greater than any problem we experience...NO weapon formed against us will proper and we can rise up and condemn our enemies (those attacking spirits).
But remember that in our sorrow, God wastes nothing and that He is crying with us.  Such a compassionate Savior!   We can trust Him, lover of our souls!

Some thoughts from this message~~What is God accomplishing in this window of time where things seem impossible?  Rather than solving the problems of Martha and Mary, Jesus revealed Himself!  Remember that your pain elicits the heart of God! 

Lord, how do I fulfill YOUR agenda?  He wants us to believe so that we can see the glory of God...see the depth of His love for us and the extent of His power for us.  Praise Him!

Hope is the oxygen of the soul.

When you hit rock bottom, the only direction you can look is up.

From Joni Eareckson Tada–(in speaking of her hell experiences here on earth) I love the part where she says, the splashover of heaven is JESUS in our splashover of hell.
