If This Isn't Comfort...

then I don't know what comfort is!


"If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn't looking for him and doesn't recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not leave you as orphans--I will come to you. Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you will also live.

When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them." John 14: 15-21


How awesome! What a miracle! We are NEVER ALONE. When Jesus said, "I will come to you," He meant it. What a gift!

Hannah's Prayer of Praise...

I love this! I have it taped to the vanity sink in the bathroom. This way, I can read it everyday! God answered Hannah's prayer for a son. What are you asking Him for? By praising God for all good gifts, we acknowledge His ultimate control over all the affairs of life...



"My heart rejoices in the Lord!The Lord has made me strong.
Now I have an answer for my enemies;
I rejoice because you rescued me.
No one is holy like the Lord!
There is no one besides you;

there is no Rock like our God.

"Stop acting so proud and haughty!
Don't speak with such arrogance!
For the Lord is a God who knows what you have done;
he will judge your actions.
The bow of the mighty is now broken,
and those who stumbled are now strong.
Those who were well fed are now starving,
and those who were starving are now full.
The childless woman now has seven children,
and the woman with many children wastes away.
The Lord gives both death and life;
he brings some down to the grave but raises others up.

He lifts the poor from the dust.

and the needy from the garbage dump.
He sets them among princes,
placing them in seats of honor.
For all the earth is the Lord's;
and he has set the world in order.
"He will protect his faithful ones,
but the wicked will disappear in darkness.
No one will succeed by strength alone.
Those who fight against the Lord will be shattered.
He thunders against them from heaven;
the Lord judges throughout the earth.
He gives power to his king;
he increases the strength of his anointed one." 1 Samuel 2: 1-10

It really makes me crazy...

When I hear Christians, even pastors say that its never God's will for any tragedy, illness/disease, accidents, or anything bad to happen...it makes me crazy! God's Word tells me nothing that is not part of God's will is allowed to come into the life of someone who trusts and obeys Him. Look at the below post and see some scripture verses from Job. Look at this scripture...

"You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above." John 19: 11

Just think of what Christ said even as He was betrayed..."Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?"

It's really amazing that even with all of the attacks Satan throws our way are not only powerless to harm us, but are transformed into blessings along the way. Sometimes the greatest gifts are wrapped in ugly packages! Be blessed!
