Thank You lord

​Hello everyone,

I hope all is well on this new day.  It’s a second chance to live again. Thank You Lord. We live each day trying to do what we have to do and sometimes it’s not always what we want to do but in order to get through things most of the time we have to make it happen. Let’s have a joyful mind so that we can gain peace through our trials.

God gives us choices to do whatever we want but let’s try to think before we act so our lives are not chaos.  God tells us to only deal with today because that’s enough to handle so when we add to what we already have to deal with throughout the day (Whatever God has planned), it makes it more tough for us.  We all need to work on that in our lives because we are human.

What I do know is God gives us grace each day to get through anything.  I woke up this morning thanking God for His blessing because first of all, He’s given me another chance and second of all, He’s given me strength to get up, get it together and see what the day may bring on my journey and third of all, He’s given me His love and forgiveness to begin again on this day.

God’s grace is merciful and so powerful.  As I look back on my life, I can’t help but to say “Thank You” for my life and my strength.  I hope this is a motivation to you and whatever testimony you have or whatever you’re going through, just praise Him and know that it will be alright.  Sometimes life gets stressful but even through it all, we still can have joy.  Remember this verse:

JAMES 1:2 – CONSIDER IT ALL JOY, MY BROTHERS, WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER VARIOUS TRIALS.
​
We have to be thankful for the good and the bad and we have to know that when we encounter various trials, God is working in our lives. Please see the poem below that God helped me to write years ago:
 
Trials prepare you to do
What God has chosen for you
 
Don’t fall when storms come your way
Stand up tall and talk to God and say
 
“God, this is Your will and I want you to know
I’m working for You and that is so
 
Do unto me as You like
I know You are with me in this fight
 
You didn’t bring this trial before me for nothing
You allowed me to get through this trial for something
 
God sometimes it’s hard and I need You to hold my hand
To get through this trial according to Your plan
 
You told me that You will be there, that I know
You also told me that trials help me to grow”.
 
Let’s work towards having a joyful mind in our days and thank God for His many blessings.
