Do you dare to ask?

When was the last time you asked God to do something impossible, something out of the ordinary? I believe that one reason we don’t see God do great things is because we only ask Him for small things. Most people pray over their food, pray for protection, or pray for wisdom. That’s all good, but don’t limit what God can do. There should be something you’re praying about, something that you’re asking for that is beyond you, something that you can’t accomplish in your own strength. Do you dare to ask?

Your dreams may look impossible. You don’t have the funding or the connections, but God is saying,

“I dare you to ask Me to bring it to pass. I dare you to ask Me to show you a flood of My favor.”

God gives you answers in three ways

God gives you answers in three ways:

He says yes and gives you want you want,

He says no and gives you something better

or He says wait and gives you the best.

I asked God, and He answered …

I asked God to take away my pain. God said, “No.” It is for me to take away but for you to give up.

I asked God to grant me patience. God said, “No.” Patience is a by-product of tribulation. It isn’t granted, it is earned.

I asked God to spare me from pain. God said, “no.” Suffering draw you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, “No.” You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all the things that I might enjoy life. God said, “No.” I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me love others as much as He loves me. God said… Ahh… Finally you have the idea.

“Jesus Loves Me”

Yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so
Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong
They are weak but he is strong

Yes Jesus loves me
Oh, yes Jesus loves me
Yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so

Pressing on the up away
Always guide me Lord I pray
Undeserving, and stubbornly never fail to love me still

Yes Jesus loves me
Oh yes Jesus loves me
Oh yes Jesus loves me, for the Bible tells me so
Yes Jesus loves me, love
Oh yes Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so
For the Bible tells me so

(Feels so good to know) that I’m never alone
See, sometimes I’m lonely but never alone
For the Bible tells, for the Bible tells
For the Bible tells me so

See I know that he loves me
Whether I’m right, whether I’m wrong

We have truly lost one of the greats. I always love her songs. Listen to the icon’s still-powerful rendition of Yes, Jesus Loves Me.

bounty is infinite

 

How great is your goodness, dear Lord!

Blessed are you for ever!

May all created things praise you, O God,

for loving us so much that we can truthfully speak

of your fellowship with mankind, even in this earthly exile

and however virtuous we may be,

our virtue always depends on your great warmth

and generosity, dear Lord.

Your bounty is infinite.

How wonderful are your works!

And God Said, ‘No’

You are included in my prayers and this is my prayer verse for each one of you. . .

from 3John1:2: “Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.” In Jesus Name, may the favor of the Lord be upon you and your household as you fully DELIGHT IN HIS WORDS.

WHATEVER YOU ASK, MAY YOU RECEIVE
WHATEVER YOU SEEK, MAY YOU FIND
WHATEVER YOU WISH, MAY IT BE FULFILLED

I thank God for you! You are one of God’s most beautiful creations!
You are fearfully and wonderfully made and you’re precious in His sight!

a healing spirit

“There is a light in this world,

a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter.

We sometimes lose sight of this force

when there is suffering,

too much pain.

Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people

who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.”

― Mother Teresa

Only Know What I Need

Lord God,

I know not what I ought to ask of Thee

Thou only know what I need

Thou lovest me better than I know how to love myself.

O Father! Give to Thy child that which he himself  knows not how to ask.

I dare not ask either for crosses or consolations

I simply present myself before Thee

I open my heart to Thee

Behold my needs which I know not myself

see and do according to Thy tender mercy

Smite, or heal

depress me, or raise me up

I adore all Thy purposes without knowing them

I am silent

I offer myself in sacrifice

I yield myself to Thee

I would have no other desire than to accomplish Thy will

Teach me to pray

Pray Thyself in me.

 

Amen.

something to ponder . . .

God had promised things to us that we shall know. He has taught us many things.

Those things are real. In any matter we’ll teach people those things.

- To Be A Kind Full Filling Fruit.

- To Shine Our Darkness.

- To Carry On The Holy Spirit.

If one carries the spirit one must RETURN.

If one shows all the ways another must come. COME.

If one teaches another must LEARN.

If one shows another must LOOK.

If one is pure another must be BRIGHT.
