Perhaps this has been a difficult year for you. The future stretching out before you may seem gloomy or threatening . . . In you're moments of quiet, you may wonder, Where is God?
He's right there at your side, my friend. He has never left. He has never removed His eye from you, nor has His attention wandered to other matters.'
Not even for a heartbeat. He has never ceased caring for you, thinking about you, considering your situation, and loving you with a passion and intensity beyond comprehension.

~ DIVINE HELP, DIVINE POWER ~
Whenever God's Spirit
is Working and Blessing,
there will always be the Sweet
fragrance of Kindness.
It is staggering to remember that Peter walked with Jesus for three Years and received Teaching, Discipleship, and a Moral example unparalleled in all of History. And yet all of that never made Peter the man God intended him to be.
It is not until we see Peter "filled with the Holy Spirit" that things really turned around. No wonder Jesus excitedly assured them that greater days were coming for all of them when the Holy Spirit, their invisible Helper, came upon them in Power.
Ministry is especially Hopeless without the Holy Spirit. Our attempt at Ministry will be an absolute exercise in futility if we are not expecting and experiencing Divine help through the Power of the Holy Spirit.
Blessings can either Humble us
and draw us closer to God,
or allow us to become full of Pride
and Self~Sufficiency.

~ ANGEL WINGS ~
ANGELS GUARD US, Guide us, Watch over us, and Bring us*Comfort, Courage, and Hope*. They are God's Messengers, reaching out to us to Remind us of his Love and Concern for Us.
Throughout recorded history, Angels appear again and again in the crucial moments of people's lives. In the Bible, an Angel spoke to Mary. Other Angels sang at the *Birth of Jesus, God's Son*. Another Angel warned Joseph to flee with his family into Egypt for safety. And Angels stood watch over the empty *Easter Tomb*.
In our Lives, Angels are as close as others' outstretched hands. They Reach for us with hands of Support, Patting our Shoulders in Encouragement, Tending us in illness and darkest Despair, and holding our hands when we are Afraid.
We recognize God's Message to us through his Ministering Angels. We are not alone! God Cares. He always has and always will. Perhaps that's why Angels Fascinate us and why we watch Angel Movies and Television Shows, Read Angel Books, Wear Angel Jewelry, and Collect Angel Figurines. My Collection of Sacred Angel Figurines ~ have become my Extended Family. As I look at all their faces, I feel a Great Sense of Calm. I have named some of my Sacred Angels, however, I have collected them since 1999. The best name for all of them would be My Blessed Family . . . Love, Faith and Hope! They represent Blessings, Calm, Company, Strength and Power. ( I could continue on . . . and on . . . :-) I am so . . . Blessed!
Most of us hear Stories from Friends and Family ~ amazing Tales of Angels Intervening to Protect or Guide. With every Angel Story, we feel Anew the Awe and Wonder of their Presence, the Sense of Security that they're close by and watching over us, and above all else, the Promise that God Cares Enough to Send Them.
We Decorate Christmas Trees with Angels, listen eagerly to Angel Stories, and hold in the *Secret Places of our Hearts and Expectation that Angels Hover Nearby*. At any Moment, they might Appear as a Loved One, a Stranger, or Another of God's Creatures, when we need them most. And when they do, they Touch us, and we are Forever Changed, for *They Have Become a Real Presence in our Lives*.
Experience the Joy and Security of knowing that these Angelic Messengers are Part of our Lives, share the *Comfort and Hope*, Faith and Blessings they Bring, and Draw Strength and Peace knowing Angels come to us because *God Loves Us*. *God has a Constant
Protective Presence*. You may hear Angel Wings ~ Beating Gently Upon Your *HEART*!

~ PRAYERS FOR A WOMAN'S SOUL ~
~ PRAYER IS THE SOUL'S SINCERE DESIRE ~
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
unuttered or expressed,
the motion of a hidden fire
that trembles in the breast.
Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
the falling of a tear,
the upward glancing of an eye,
when none but God is near.
Prayer is the simplest form of speech
that infant lips can try;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
the Majesty on high . . .
Prayer is the contrite sinners' voice,
returning from their way,
while Angels in their songs Rejoice
and cry, "Behold, they Pray!"
Prayer is the Christians' vital breath,
the Christians' native air;
their watchword at the gates of death;
they enter Heaven with Prayer.
O thou, by whom we come to God,
the Life, the Truth, the Way:
the Path of Prayer thyself hast trod;
Lord, teach us how to Pray!
<><><><><><><><><>><><><><><><><><><><>
Anyone can Love the Lovely, Anyone can Forgive
the Forgivable. But Christians are Unique.
We are called to
Love the unlovely, to
Forgive the Unforgivable. Jesus'
followers have done so for centuries.
Few acts have a greater impact on those who
mistreat us an abuse us than our telling
them we Forgive them, and we are
asking God to Forgive them too.
Keep fervent in your
Love for one another, because Love
covers a Multitude of Sins.

FELLOWSHIPPING WITH THE SAINTS
NOT FORSAKING THE ASSEMBLING OF OURSELVES
TOGETHER, S THE MANNER OF SOME IS . . .
HEBREWS 10:25
~ MY PRAYER FOR TODAY ~
Lord, I ask You to Help me push my flesh and my feelings aside when I am tempted to be Down and Depressed. Your Word Promises that I'll be encouraged if I Fellowship with the Saints, so I ask You to help me shove my lying emotions out of the way, get out of my house and stop Focusing on my defeat.
Give me the Strength of Will to go "Attach Myself to a Band of Believers" who will Encourage me to Stand Up, Stand Tall, and fight like someone who has the armor and the "Power of God" Working in my Life.
I Pray this in Jesus' Name!
~ MY CONFESSION FOR TODAY ~
I Declare the Satan does not have the Power to keep me Down and Depressed! When Life comes against me and the Deveil tries to tell me that I have no Hope of ever getting out of my Problems, I run to people of Faith so I can ge Encouraged. I don't fall out of Fellowship, and I don't stay away from Church. I am Faithful in my Church Attendance, and I Receive Encouragement every time I get in God's Presence and Rub Shoulders with the People of God.
I Declare this by Faith in Jesus' Name!

~ DEVOTED TO PRAYER ~
Devote Yourselves to Prayer,
being Watchful and Thankful . . .
How Dedicated are you to Prayer? How does it compare to your Dedication to your Children, Spouse, or work? Are you making time to be in Conversation with God throughout your day, being Watchful for his Answers and Thankful for his many Blessings?
Lord Jesus, encourage my children
to be Devoted to Prayer,
being Watchful for your Answers
and Thankful for Your Blessings.
~ Amen ~

~ BREAKING FREE *** DAY BY DAY ~
~ LOVE NEVER FAILS ~
1 Corinthians 13:8 (NIV)
We are not wrong to think we desperately need to be Loved. We do. But we are wrong to think we can make anyone Love us the way we need to be Loved. Our need for Love does not constitute anyone Else's call but God's.
Perhaps you have heard the devastating words, "I just do not Love You Any More". Others may not have heard the words but have felt the Feeling. Throughout Life we will lose people ~ people who really Loved us ~ to Death or Changing Circumstances. As Dear and Rich as their Love was, it was not Unfailing. It Moved. It Died. It Changed. It left Wonderful Memories, but it also left a Hole. Only God's Love Never Fails.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God,
and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you . . .
2 Corinthians 13:13
I used to Struggle with God's Love for me because I knew my own sins and weaknesses ~ all the reasons He should not Love me. Surely everyone else was not the mess deep inside that I was! (Of course, some people can be so full of Self~Righteousness, they seem convinced God Loves them best of all.)
But why do we have such difficulty Believing God could Love with the same unfailing Love those we perceive as good and those we perceive as bad? It's because we relentlessly insist on trying to Humanize God. We tend to Love people according to how they act, and we keep trying to create God in our Image.
