You, Lord, are my Shepherd and I shall not want
To you I give all honor, my faith and my confidence
My God, in whom I put my trust and rest assured
My reliance remains in you, all the days of my life
by Hazel Straub
Psalm 30:1-5 (The Message)
“I give you all the credit, God— you got me out of that mess,
you didn’t let my foes gloat.
God, my God, I yelled for help
and you put me together.
God, you pulled me out of the grave,
gave me another chance at life
when I was down-and-out.
All you saints! Sing your hearts out to God!
Thank him to his face!
He gets angry once in a while, but across
a lifetime there is only love.
The nights of crying your eyes out
give way to days of laughter.”
Praise and worship God for his incredible and never-ending love for us!

God calls us have faith and trust in him, not our intellectual abilities. Listen to his voice and keep him as your focus. This results in vibrant health, peaceful assurance and a worry-free lifestyle, as you follow him.
Proverbs 3:5-8 (The Message)
“Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Don’t assume that you know it all.
Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life!”

I don’t know how deliverance will come from my circumstances. I do know that God will deliver me from what looks impossible. He makes my way possible.
Psalm 34:17-18 (NIV)
“When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
The LORD is near to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit.”

The Love Of God . . .
– Surpasses all of men’s love
– Comes into the deep crevices of the heart
– Knows no boundaries and has no limitations
– Gives, forgives, pardons and holds no grudges
– Changes hard, calloused and crusty hearts
– Softens and makes supple hardened lives
– Purifies, heals, delivers and performs miracles
– Makes enemies at peace with each other
– Brings new life, light, laughter, love
– Rejuvenates, renovates, revives, and refreshes
– Caring, compassionate, without other’s merit
– Good, not evil, rejoices in truth, without quitting
– Trusts God always not the circumstances
– Looks for the best and doesn’t keep score of others’ sins
– Doesn’t have a swollen head or strut its stuff
– Never looks back but keeps going and going . . .

Fear not, my child, for I am with you. Do not fear man or the enemy because I am with you. Trust me and lean not on your own understanding. I uphold you with my right hand. Everything in your life is first sifted through my hands of love.
It is time for you to say, “I will not be shaken because the Lord God is my foundation. He is with me and I will not fear. No matter what happens, he is with me. I put my trust in the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth. His love surrounds me.”

Be open to my voice. Do not rest on preconceived notions or how it was done in the past. Behold, I am doing a new thing in your midst. Listen and obey my voice. Rejoice!
I am bringing new life into your midst. Love, Love, love. Forgive, forgive, forgive.
by Apostle Gabriel Cross
Love is not looking at what you’ve done but what He’s done to make it all possible. Love beyond yourself…Selah
