Love Like None Other

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. Jer. 31:3 (NIV) God thank you for your love that flows like a river and encompasses me. Your love heals my pain and sets me free. I’m drawn by your mercy and kindness and nurtured by your care. You have all my heart and I’m not going anywhere. Though the tides come and the billows roll, I remain steadfast in your arms. Nestled in your love I’m safe from all harm. Thank you for your love that has saved my life and made me whole. I’m grateful for the gift of your affection; your agape love I behold. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Complaining weighs you down. It breeds and feeds negativity. In all things, find something positive to highlight and hold on to it until your situation changes. Press forward! ADaubon

Love That Flows

Beyond all these things put on and wrap yourselves in [unselfish] love, which is the perfect bond of unity [for everything is bound together in agreement when each one seeks the best for others]. Col 3:14 (Amp.) Lord help us to be fully clothed with your love and compassion. Let your love be evident in our life and all our actions. Show us the way to be agents of your love in the world each day. Let our life reflect your love in all we do and say. Help us to have unselfish love that will cause us to unite. Let love mend broken relationships and resolve all strife. Let your love be evident in our life as we strive to be an example of you. We surrender for you to use us to be a vessel for your love to flow through. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Light Up The Dark

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 1 Peter 3:9 (NIV) You are not responsible for the actions of others. You are 100% responsible for how you respond. It takes great discipline and self-control to not be provoked by others, especially when their intentions are of an evil nature. Again, we must remember how we respond says more about us than them. When faced with evildoers, do not give them more energy than they deserve. Don’t be lured into their web of conflict. Let your light shine in the face of darkness. God will take care of you and you will be rewarded for your faithfulness. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Eph. 2:10 (NIV) Always remember, when God created you He had a plan in mind just for you. He equipped you with all that you need to accomplish what He wants to do through you. When others are making stride, that’s them walking in their calling. Don’t be intimidated, get active in walking in your purpose. Don’t try to copy anyone else. Be yourself and let God use you. Press forward! ADaubon

Real Love

Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned. Song of Solomon 8:7 (NLT) True authentic love flows no matter the dams that are created to hold it back. It overrides obstacles and dismantles dysfunctional patterns that seeks to hinder or halt it. It will not be swallowed up or led astray. It cannot be bought or sold. It is precious to behold. Let the love of God flow through you into the world. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Wait & Watch God Move

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23 (NIV) Hope, in Hebrew is tikvah. This is no ordinary hope. When we have tikvah, we take the posture of one who waits with an expectation for God to move on our behalf. Most importantly, it means that our disposition models what we believe. Hope maintains optimism and does not entertain pessimistic thoughts. When we have hope we hold onto the promise without wavering. When you expect something, you get in position to receive it and prepare for its arrival. So, tell disappointment you will not be moved or shaken. Tell doubt to take a long walk. Then wait and watch God move. He’s brought us thus far and He will not leave us now. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

If I say, “My foot has slipped,” Your compassion and lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up. When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, your comforts delight me. Psalm 94:18-19 (Amp.) When we fixate on a concern it can evolve into worry and take a life of its own. Often when you don’t see a way out or have an immediate answer it can give birth to a series of anxious thoughts. When we create scenarios in our mind and imagine all that can possibly go wrong, it feeds these thoughts and adds fuel to the fire. Let your faith subdue all your fears and trust that God will respond to all of your cares. Press Forward! ADaubon

Posture of Hope

For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him, for my hope is from Him. Psalm 62:5 (Amp.) There is a posture of hope. One must wait in silence for God. Sometimes it is hard to wait – let alone in silence. Waiting without complaining can be difficult. Waiting without uttering negative thoughts of doubt can be equally hard. It may be a challenge to silence the anxious thoughts and emotions that try to consume us when we are in waiting mode. Submit and surrender your concerns, thoughts, emotions, desire and will to Him. Trust that He will sustain you, light your path and take care of all that concerns you. When we truly place all our hope in Him, we let go, let God and find rest. Have confidence that your hope is in God alone and He will not fail you. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
