Monday Morning Meditations

Am I now trying to win the approval of men,

 or of God? 

Or am I trying to please men (or women)?

If I were still trying to please men,

I would not be a servant of Christ.

Galatians 1:10 NIV

God is the only being in the universe that will accept us unconditionally when we do the same to Him.

Are you struggling with pleasing others?

Above all else,

 guard your heart,

for it is the wellspring of life.

Proverbs 4:23 NIV

The Lord says,

It is not too late.

You can still return to ME

with all your heart.

Joel 2:12 CEV

For when your faith is tested,

your endurance has a chance to grow.

So let it grow,

for when our endurance is fully developed,

you will be strong in character,

and ready for anything.

James 1: 3-4

Purify me from my sins,

and I WILL BE clean;

Wash me,

and I will be whiter than snow.

Psalm 51:7

See I am coming soon

and my reward is with me

to repay all

according to their deeds.

I AM

the Alpha and the Omega,

the First and the Last,

the Beginning and the End.

Revelation 22:12-13

How beautiful on the mountains

are the feet of those

who bring good news

of peace and salvation,

the news

that the God of Israel reigns!

Isaiah 52:7

Do not be anxious about ANYTHING,

but in everything,

by prayer and petition,

with thanksgiving,

present your requests to God.

And the PEACE of GOD,

which transcends all understanding,

will guard your hearts

and your minds

in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7 NASB

and I testify to you today--

I have this truth inside the very core of my being!

 The truth that sets us free.

 Free from sorrow, regret, pain, depression, darkness, 

wishes for acceptance, 

wishes for a different life,

even wishes for death.

Jesus desires to give you a new heart,

a new mind,

a transformed life,

and the greatest treasure to me,

the PEACE of God.

I rest so easy

under grace.
