Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (NIV)

These Days

“Choose For Yourselves.”

I went to a Shawn McDonald concert over the weekend with Downhere and Jason Gray. I received a small booklet from K-Love with inspirational words. Here is one that stood out to me.

Choices

Our lives are like icebergs. Only 15 percent is visible; that’s reputation. The rest, our character, is below the surface, hidden. Character is what we think but never share. It’s what we do when no one’s watching. It’s how we react to everyday aggravations. It’s how we handle failure-and success. The thing that has made us what we are is our choices. At the end of a successful career, Joshua challenges the people of Israel: “Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” So the choice is yours!

French writer Francois de la Rochefoucauld asserted, “Almost all our faults are more pardonable than the methods we think up to hide them.” Ever notice that people with the weakest character tend to place blame on their circumstances? They talk a lot about poor upbringing, financial difficulties, the unkindness of others, or other circumstances that have made them victims. Your circumstances may be beyond your control, but your character is not. You can no more blame your character on your circumstances, than you can blame the mirror for you looks. Developing character is always your choice. Every time you make a character-based decision, you take another step forward in your spiritual growth.

Amazing

God is so amazing. I thank him for all of the blessings he has brought me. He is an awesome God! He will never leave us or forsake us and He always knows what is best. We must trust in Him and follow His will for our lives. Never give up hope!

Beauty for Ashes

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair

When sorrow seems to surround you
When suffering hangs heavy oer your head
Know that tomorrow brings
Wholeness and healing
God knows your need
Just believe what He said

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fearGladness for mourning
Peace for despair

When what youve done keeps you from moving on
When fear wants to make itself at home in your heart
Know that forgiveness brings
Wholeness and healing
God knows your need
Just believe what He said

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fearGladness for mourning
Peace for despair

I once was lost but God has found me
Though I was bound Ive been set free
Ive been made righteous in His sight
A display of His splendor all can see

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fearGladness for mourning
Peace for despair
