Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they will end the friendship. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others. However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing and the ones that often become activists for the broken-hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved.” ― Shannon L. Alder

Stop focusing on your circumstances and begin focusing on the promises of God.
Peter in the boat one night when he sees Jesus walking on water. Peter shouted out, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on water.” Jesus told him to “come” and Peter , got out of boat and walked to Jesus. Something happened half way there, Peter began to notice the strength of the wind and the height of the waves, and before he knew it, he was on his way sinking and crying out to the Lord for help. Jesus reached down and saved him. “Peter you doing well, why did you stop?”

Reading in Psalms 34, verses 6&7, I believe David writes, ” This poor man cried, and The Lord heard him out of all his troubles. The angels of The Lord encamped all around Him, and rescues them .” Peter cried out to Jesus, and The Lord responded immediately. There has been many times that I didn’t know what to do. All Jessie Faye knew was to stand on His Word. I have went to bed crying out to God to help me. Sometimes he responded and there were times when there was a deep cry or plea He would answer and supply all my needs.

There is never a time when God gives up on us. He gives us the faith that’ we need to hold out. Do not look at your circumstance. Hold on to the promises of His Word. Put your faith, hope and trust in God……

NaGather sent me this scripture this morning. Proverbs 3:5&6: “Trust in The Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight.”

Then my best fried always tell me to read this chapter. Psalm 62:1-2,5-8;

Truly my soul silently waits for God,
From Him comes my salvation.
He is only my rock and my salvation,
He is my defense,
I shall not be greatly moved…..

My soul, waits silently for God alone,
For my expect station is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation.
He is my defense,
I shall not be moved.

In God is my salvation and glory,
The rock of my strength,
And my refuge, it is God.
Trust in Him at all times you people,
Pour out your heart before him,
God is a refuge for us.

Look for God’s-guidance through His Word, the Holy Spirit,
Through close friends or a Pastor’s-message on Sunday morning.

Listen for His voice.

Many times we have all stood at the crossroads of life. Many times standing there wondering which way to go. But , never count God out of the plan because he holds the future in His hand. Sometimes, life takes an unexpected turn, and we refuse to become embittered or frustrated with God because He knows what’s up ahead. He can see the sunshine, even though we are walking through the dark valley.

At six weeks old, Fannie Crosby lost her eyesight at the hands of a man who claimed to be a physician. This left the family in shock and gave them much sorrow. Yes, But years later , she wrote” If this accident was a mistake and if prefect earthly sight were offered to me tomorrow, I would not accept it.” From her viewpoint, it was the will of God.

Fannie Crosby wrote:

All the way my Savior leads me, What have I to ask beside?

Can I doubt a His tender mercy, Who through life been my guide?

Heavenly peace, divinest comfort, here by faith in Him to dwell!

For I know what’re befall me, Jesus doeth all things well.

For I know what’re befall me, Jesus doeth all thing well.

Life will hold many moments of joy and hope. It also contain many trails and tribulations that will test our faith in the One who gives life. Instead of focusing on our circumstances, learn to watch for God’s direction, and there comes that special peace of mind and in your heart you know that it’s beyond anything in this world.

God can take your trails, heartaches, suffering and even our sins and turn them into something good? Come here Abraham and Sarah I need a witness. The problem with Sarah was that she was beyond childbearing age.she was at least ninety if I recall correctly. That let me know that God will allow us to wait for His will to unfold, and I am determined that God’s destined for us cannot be changed. It will take place.

Sarah laughed at God , the creator, when He told her that she would have a son. The Lord asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh?.” (Gen.18:13) Have you ever been caught by God when you doubted His promise or instructions? Yes! We have quenched the Spirit through lack of faith in His ability.

Sarah got tried of waiting. Sarah was disobedience by rushing ahead and went into another direction. We all know what happened , Sarah suffered from her own plight.

Timing is everything. God has set a certain time for events to happen. Things that will unfold in your life and in the future. Fasting, for our own motives, will not change His mind.

Not only did Sarah laugh at God’s promise to Abraham, but years before, she had taken matters into her own hand. She recruited a maid to have a child with her husband.

There are many aspects of God ‘s will that we must accept by faith. This is because He is God and there is non other.

In a relationship, you need somebody who’s gonna call you out, not someone who’s gonna let everything slide. You need someone who doesn’t want to live without you but can. Not somebody that is dependent but somebody who is stronger with you. A relationship is two people, not one.

“I love you but I’m mad at you is one of the most freeing, important things you can say in a stable relationship or in a friendship. To know that you have the ability and the right to be mad at someone and know that it doesn’t mean things are over, that it doesn’t mean things are irreparable. That it just means I’m mad, but I still love you. I love you but for now, I need “alone” time until I cool off.”

“If you’re ever going to love me, love me now while I can know. All the sweet and tender feelings which from real affection flow. Love me now, while I’m living; do not wait ’til I am gone. And then chisel it on marble – words on ice, cold stone.
If you have dear sweet thoughts about me. Why not whisper them to me? Don’t you know it would make me happy and as glad as glad could be? If you wait until I’m sleeping, never to awaken here again, there will be walls of earth between us and couldn’t hear you then. I won’t need your kind caresses when the grass grows over my face. I won’t crave your love or kisses in my last low resting place. So then, if you love me any, if it’s but a little bit.
Let me know while I am living, so I can own it treasure it.

Matthew 11:7-19 KJV

And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?    But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.    But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.    For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.    Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.    And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.    For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.    And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.    He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.    But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,    And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.    For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.    The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
Matthew 11:7-19mi

I have been asked to say a few words at a memorial service, beening a pator still is difficult,  yet important. 
Cyrus M. Copeland,  says a great eulogy is both art and architecture-a bridge between the living and the dead,  memory and eternity. ”
“What will people. say about me when it’s time to say goodbye?”

There is no soul mate or best friend out there who will solve every one of your problems. There is no love at first sight that lasts without work and commitment. But there are, however, people out there worth fighting for. Not because they’re perfect, but because they’re imperfect in all the ways that are right for you. You compliment each other’s flaws in a way that allows your souls to unite and operate more efficiently as one. You will know when you meet one of these people, when through them you meet the very best in yourself.

Don’t let anyone invalidate or minimize how you feel. If you feel something, you feel it and it’s real to you. Nothing anyone says has the power to invalidate that, ever. No one else lives in your body. No one else sees life through your eyes. No one else has lived through your experiences. And so, no one else has the right to dictate or judge how you feel. Your feelings are important and you deserve to be heard. They are inherently valid and they matter.Be true to yourself and your body.

I think a lot of people don’t understand what real romance is. Anyone can buy flowers, candy and jewelry. The truly romantic things in life are those little things you do every day to show you care, and that you’re thinking of them. It’s going out of your way to make them happy. The way you hold her hand when you know she’s scared, or you save the last piece of cake for him. The random text or call in the middle of the day, just to say “I love you” or “I miss you”. The way he stops to kiss you when he passes by. It’s dedicating her favorite song to her, and letting her eat your fries; telling her she’s beautiful. It’s putting your favorite show on pause so she can tell you about her day, and laughing at his jokes, even the really lame ones. It’s slow dancing in the kitchen and kissing in the rain. Romance isn’t about buying, it’s about giving. True romance is in gestures.
