Burdens

"Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ." (Galtians 6:2 NAS)
As Christians we need to be considering the needs of another and not to make an assumption that there is something wrong with someone just because we get a bad vibe. It could be an opportunity from God.
What if God had us there for that particular point in time? What if He wanted us to take the burden, pray, and then lay it at His feet? What if like Esther we were there "for such a time as this?"(Esther 4:14 NAS)
Are we walking by faith or feelings?
Are we fighting the good fight of faith? (2Timothy 4:7 NAS)
Are we hearing God when He speaks?
Are we going to let Satan steal away the 'window of opportunity' from the Lord?
Let us remember where the battleground truly is and to remain faithful and true to our calling.
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this dakness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12 NAS)
We need to remember what Jesus did for us on Cavalry and be like-minded
when it comes to another brother or sister.
"This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one then this, that one lay down his life for his friends."(John 15:12&13 NAS)

Be blessed my friends,

Thankfulness

Thanksgiving is a day to ponder
the blessings God has
bestowed upon us.

A special day to give Him thanks,
Our provider and our King.

We should not limit thanksgiving to once a year,
but let us remember to be thankful everyday
of every year.

Have a very blessed and thankful Thanksgiving,
Shifra

God Breaks Through

Things may seem dark at times, but the LIGHT of God always has a way of breaking through the darkness.

Be encouraged my friends for God can reach down into the deepest accesses of your heart. He will shine His light on those areas that have become dormant. All the dreams He has placed in your hearts He will resurrect. He has not abandoned you. He loves you. He will grant you all the desires of your heart.

We need to remember that His timing is different from ours. First there is the pregnancy and then the delivery. The baby will come forth, but not till He says we are ready.

He knows the plans He has for you. They are for your well-being. So relax and be sure that He is always with You and has not forsaken you.

All will come to fruition in His timing. All you have to do is be faithful and keep your focus on the one who created you.

Be blessed my friends,
Shifra

Lead Us

Lead us continually to the cross.
Lead us  continually  to Your heart.
This is where we belong.

Father, show us Your heart.
Show us Your truth.
Draw us to Yourself once again.
Let us love what You love and hate what You hate.
Let us become children of prayer in a newer and greater way.
Touch us with fire right where we stand!
Let us follow after You in all that we say and do.
Be our all in all.
We bless and praise You, Our Father, Our King.
We love and adore You.

Lead us  continually to the cross.
Lead us  continually  to Your heart.
This is where we belong. 

Amen.

Precious Moments

Precious moments are something that we need to hold dear and near to our hearts. They are something we cannot get back if ignored. We need to acknowledge them immediately so nothing goes unsaid.
Why not make this coming new year one of positive memories? Let someone you hold dear know what they mean to you. Send a note to someone that may be having a rough time. Be an encourager. Let your actions speak louder then words. The best gift someone can get is one that restores faith, brings hope and acknowledges love.
Blessings,
Shifra
