Love That Will Not Let Go

Love That Will Not Let Go

George Matheson was only fifteen when he was told he was losing what little poor eyesight he had. Not to be denied, Matheson continued straightaway with his plans to enroll in the University of Glasgow, and his determination led to his graduating at age nineteen. But as he pursued graduate studies in theology for Christian ministry he did become blind. His sisters joined ranks beside him, learning Greek and Hebrew to assist him in his studies. He pressed faithfully on.

But his spirit collapsed when his fiancée, unwilling to be married to a blind man, broke their engagement and returned his ring. He never married, and the pain of that rejection never totally left him. Years later, as a well-loved pastor in Scotland, his sister came to him, announcing her engagement. He rejoiced with her, but his mind went back to his own heartache. He consoled himself in thinking of God’s love which is never limited, never conditional, never withdrawn, and never uncertain. Out of this experience he wrote the hymn,

O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go.

O love that wilt not let me go,

I rest my weary soul in thee;

I give thee back the life I owe,

That in thine ocean depths it flow

May richer, fuller be.

Surely this is our God

Isaiah 25:9
In that day they will say, 'Surely this is our God; we trusted in Him, and He saved us!'
- There is no reason to doubt God.
God will always come through where we can't.

- Surely, He is a faithful and trustworthy God.
If we trust Him He will honor our trust so trust GOD...

- You can expect and believe that He will come through for you.
If the world cant help you then there is only GOD...

- You too will be able to say: 'I trusted in Him and He saved me!'
And He can save you too if you let Him.
If you meet with GOD send me a mail so I can send you some encouragement daily....
I call them (Andy's Daily Quite Thoughts with GOD).

PRAYER: Lord, You are MY God and I DO trust You.
 I know that as I trust You,
You are working out a miracle for me.
I thank you for been there for me always when I need you.
You are an awesome GOD.
Amen.

Sharing Christ and soup and Christ's Love

Bibles for Hungry

I am a assistant pastor of a church and I am standing in Faith that someone out there will read this and GOD will prompt them to assist if told by GOD to do so.

We are running a Soup Kitchen Ministry in South Africa at the church and have done so for a couple of months.

We have had an attendance of 40 to 50 people every time we host the kitchen which is every second week.

We give the attendee’s not only food but we share with them GOD’s Word and share the message of Salvation with each and every one.

We have had a number of Salvations from this outreach and there are many hungry people out there we would like to assist more of them but finances don’t always allow.

We would like to purchase Bibles for attendee’s and start to distribute them at the next meetings.

If you read this and can assist in any way then please contact me.

Im sure GOD will bring you a blessing in return.

you shall know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord.

Ezekiel 36:11
And I will cause you to be inhabited according to your former estate and I will do better for you than at your beginnings; and you shall know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord.

God presents a picture that we cannot yet see a picture of Hope for victory in our lives.

- God is a God of restoration.
God brings restoration to a situation when we think it is impossible.
God brings love even in the midst of hate-rid and death.
God brings joy when there is pain and suffering.

- God's desire is to do even more for you than He ever did before.
God will never ever leave nor forsake us.
We are forgiven because He was condemned.


- All this, so that we will realise that He is our God.
God is alive and well and His Spirit lives with in us.
We must acknowledge that through everything He is GOD.

PRAYER: Lord, I am expecting good things from You. 
You have declared that You will do better for me
than at my beginnings and I claim this promise for my life. 
Amen.

We are able to hold our heads high no matter what happens.

Romans 5:5 (Living Bible)
We are able to hold our heads high no matter what happens, for we know how dearly God loves us, and we feel this warm love everywhere within us because God has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love.
- Knowing that God loves us makes all the difference.

- We can live with confidence knowing this fact.

- No matter what happens, God loves us!

- Things will happen, 


but God's love will remain.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for Your great love for me.

When a man's (or woman's) ways are pleasing to the Lord

 Proverbs 16:7
When a man's (or woman's) ways are pleasing to the Lord, 
He makes even his enemies live at peace with him.- Endeavoring to please God is a good thing.
Some days I fall horribly short of this but I've got to remember that GOD forgives our short falls

GOD is always going before us to make a way. His word says that He is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE.

Going to walk in Faith

All who are oppressed may come to Him

Psalm 9:9-10

All who are oppressed may come to Him! He is a refuge for them in their times of trouble. All those who know Your mercy, Lord, will count on You for help. For You have never yet forsaken those who trust in You!
- God is a refuge for the crushed, the broken; the dejected, the afflicted and the unhappy.

- God is a refuge for those facing trouble and distress.

- Nothing stops you from counting on God's help.
Only you stop your self. I find myself stopping this often when I check.
Are you stopping God from working in your life?

- He will not, He will not, abandon or forsake you.
Often I ask where is God in the situation or trial as I walk the road.
But I want to say God is right there with us as we face each and every trail that this life brings. We just have to stop a while and not be to busy to pray and we will see that God is there in our daily lives each and every day.

PRAYER: Lord, I am counting on You to help me. 
You are MY God and I receive Your mercy and Your grace. 
Amen.

God Has Kept Me Here For A Reason

God Has Kept Me Here For A Reason

Repeat after me: God has kept me here for a reason we survived because

He has a plan for us. All our bad relationships, the addictions, the

consequences, the bad credit, the repossessions, the death of my

loved ones, the back stabbing from my friends, the negative thoughts, or

the lack of support; we made it because we are blessed!

So release and let go of all past hurts, misunderstandings and grudges

because we are abundantly blessed! We recognize them as the illusions

they are, and sent from the enemy to kill our spirit, steal our joy, and

destroy our faith;

For God is all there is. All else is a lie! Now give

yourself a hug, wipe your tears away and walk in victory!!!!!!!! 

God loves you BEST! Be blessed and know

that you are at one with 

THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD! 

1Tim 4:10  We struggle and work hard, because we have placed our hope in the living GOD, who is the Saviour of all and especially of those who believe. 

O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for You

Isaiah 33:2
O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for You. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress (trouble).
- God wants to be gracious and merciful to you.
If only we could learn to listen we would know His mercy actually exists for us.

- We need constant supplies of strength and courage.
Breakfast every day with GOD is a necessity not a luxury, it is like petrol for a car.
You cant run on empty you have to full up as often as possible.

- Day by day God wants to give you strength.
We must ensure that we not only stop to hear His word but we must see how to apply it in our daily lives. What is the use of putting petrol if you don't turn the key on.

- Let Him be your strength today!
As you apply Gods word to you life let Him ignite you in your spiritual walk each and every day.
Turn on that key and spend the time, full up and be ignited for CHRIST.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You would be gracious to me today.
 I need You so that I can face whatever may come my way!
 Amen.

For God has made me fruitful in this land of my slavery

Genesis 41:51-52
Joseph named his second boy Ephraim (meaning 'Fruitful' - "For God has made me fruitful in this land of my slavery (suffering)," he said).
- God is able to make you fruitful regardless of your situation or circumstances.
Isnt it amazing how trees just bear fruit when it is their season.
Yes trees can teach us that bearing fruit should not be a burden.
Bearing fruit for GOD should be a want to action and a it is a blessing even if it may seem like carrying a heavy load can and will break some branches.
But think of the ones who are consuming the fruit we bear that is awesome.

- Joseph was in slavery in a foreign land and yet he was fruitful.
Trees dont let the things of the world stop them from bearing fruit so why should we.
We should bear fruit in and out of season follow Christ at all times no matter what the storm brings.

- You can be fruitful and productive in your situation.
Sometimes drought and dryness wont stop you wanting to bear fruit.
And as soon as the rain falls the fruit will sprout in our lives, we should be ready for those moments when fruit just happens no matter what we are facing and stand talll for Christ our Lord.

- Give God your situation,  and expect to be fruitful.
Take it to the Lord in prayer. Yes build a relationship to get you through the dry patches in life so that the rain will be brought by Jesus to our lives and we will bear the necessary fruit which God requires of both you and me.

PRAYER: Lord, You know my situation. 
Help me to make the best use of what 
You have given me and where 
You have placed me. 
Cause me to be fruitful and productive. 
Amen.
Be a Fruit bearing Tree for GOD today!!!

I will make the wilderness a pool of water

Isaiah 41:18
I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

GOD can when bring Hope to a land that has no Hope.
The question is do you think that you have Hope?
Or are you still in need then take it to GOD in prayer right now don't wait.

Positiveness can come from wilderness GOD can change your and my bad to GOOD.
