You are heard and you matter

We go through life wanting to be heard, we want our voices to matter. We want friends, family and co-workers to hear us when we speak, to listen to what we have to say. Sometimes they don’t listen to us and that in turn makes us feel like we don’t matter. God always listens and you always matter to Him. Joshua a man, just like you are I are mankind. He did not have any super powers, he was just a man. But he said something and God listen. Joshua said to the Lord “Sun, stand still over Gibeon and you, moon over the Valley of Ajalon” So the sun stood still and the moon stopped. Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that he told the sun that shines over us, that no man can control to stop and it did, and also the moon? Yes, that is exactly what happened. This is what I love, Joshua 10:14 “There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel.” Just like God did for Joshua, he listened to him and allowed what Joshua said to come to pass, God listens to you and will let what you say come to pass. But it comes with obedience. This week keep this in mind “Surely the Lord will fight for me as he did for Joshua” You are heard and you matter!

You Are IMPORTANT

Not every child has the opportunity to hear that they are important. Some, unfortunately, grow up with parents or guardians that never told them that they were loved or important. Some didn’t have the opportunity to even grow up with a parent or guardian. Some adults today still may not have heard that they are important or feel that they are. But let me tell you about a man that thinks you’re so important that he died for you. Yes Jesus! You are of value to Jesus, and his love for you cannot ever be measured. Most people know this scripture John 3:16 for God so loved the world that he sent his ONLY son to died…I don’t know how else anyone can show you, unconditional love, even though some deny Him he still died for them too. This week no matter how you feel, know that you are IMPORTANT to the King of Kings. 

“Rain on me like a fresh morning dew, breath through me…”

I would like to welcome you. This corner is to share insight, share my favorite scriptures, and to answer questions.

“Rain on me like a fresh morning dew, breath through me…” This is the beginning lyrics to one of my favorite song. This song speaks to my Soul. We sing songs all the time but let’s take some time to break the beginning part down. When it rains, we get wet, we get cold and it might be uncomfortable. But the rain brings forth growth, flowers, and beauty. That’s what God does when he ‘rains” down upon us. Through life, we will get “wet” (broken, hurt, life not going how we’ve planned) but through those trials out comes the growth and the blessings. We need to allow God to breathe through us, allowing him to give life to our situations. What do you need God to breath on today?
