skies in your heart

The limits of your heart determine the limits of your life

Permalink Thank You for the gift of faith to see the impossible become possible as I continue to place my hope and confidence in You. spiritualinspiration: “Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see” (Hebrews 11:1, NLT) So many people today are depressed and discouraged because they only focus on their present circumstances. They’re constantly dwelling on their problems, what they don’t have, and what’s wrong with them. They don’t realize it, but they’re allowing the enemy to steal their hope. This negative frame of mind is what keeps people from moving forward in life. Understand today that faith is confidence and assurance about the things we hope for according to the promises of God. Like an arrow, your faith points to the target of hope. If you don’t have hope, that arrow of faith will just drop to the ground. It won’t accomplish anything. But, when you keep your hopes up, when you keep expecting and keep believing, it’s as if that target gets larger and larger—easier to hit! Choose today to live with an attitude of expectancy. Get your hopes up! Start by taking captive any negative thoughts you may have one at a time. As you focus on God’s goodness and faithfulness, you’ll feel that hope inside you growing. You’ll give your faith a target, and you’ll move confidently into the blessings and peace the Lord has in store for you! A Prayer for TodayFather in heaven, today I surrender every thought to You. I choose to release my cares and concerns so I can focus on Your goodness in my life. Thank You for the gift of faith to see the impossible become possible as I continue to place my hope and confidence in You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Whatever you are physically…male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy—all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside.

One of the reasons we crave love, and seek it so desperately, is that love is the only cure for loneliness, and shame, and sorrow. But some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again. Some truths about yourself are so painful that only shame can help you live with them. And some things are just so sad that only your soul can do the crying for you.

I think that love has become a word that people use too much. They use it to pepper their sentences like peppering their dinner; ‘love’ has become a sentence enhancer. They consume it like fatty food and then swear it off forever if things don’t go the way they’d planned. Most people feed purely on a diet of ‘love’. “Like” “Adore” “Enjoy” have all become extinct, replaced with the ever sought after “love”. But love is not a sentence enhancer. It is not something that you should use to replace lesser words with lesser meanings. Love is fireworks that explode in your chest, love is a Sunset melting over your bones. Love is feeling a Summer breeze wrap around you in Winter. Love, when its true and when its real, is undeniable, even to the best of liars.
