Say to those who are of a fearful heart, "Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you." Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; then shall the lame man leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute sing for joy. (Isaiah 35:4-6 )

I think this scripture foretells the coming of the Lord, Jesus, who did all of the above. :clap:

Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

This doesn't mean to just feel kindly towards someone, but to actively show kindness and mercy. This tells me to do something kind for someone. Makes me think of the Samaritan who relieved the man's suffering who was attacked by thieves on the road to Jericho. The priest and the Levite passed by, and it's possible they felt a pang of pity, or even may have breathed a prayer for him. But it was the Samaritan who showed mercy.

Merciful people are happy people.

Proverbs 7
1 My son, keep my words
and store up my commands within you.

2 Keep my commands and you will live;
guard my teachings as the apple of your eye. 3 Bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
This has always blessed me because we always hear how children are the apple to their fathers eye.. Gods word is to be that to us...

Thank you so much for this thread. As I read through these pages, I feel so encouraged by your love for Christ, your passion to follow Him, and the kindness of your hearts. Truly, as we share Scripture, we are so blessed!

Here is the verse that is on my heart this morning:


2 Cor. 3:14,16,18 "...the veil is taken away in Christ....when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away...we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.


Hebrews 12:2 in the NIV says, "fix your eyes on Jesus." As I reflect on this verse and the verse above, it strikes me that as we turn to Christ and fix our eyes on Him, all deception, darkness and blindness are taken away. Not only that, but as we come to see Jesus, and focus on HIM, we become more like Him.

He is so amazing.

The scripture that has been on my heart lately is:
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4

I lost a friend on Friday, April 13th. He had a year and a half struggle with cancer...well, he didn't struggle...the disease struggled to take over his body. Throughout his illness, he put forth the word to many. To look at him from the outside, he didn't complain. He faced his trial and accepted it, and he did perservere. And in the end he was made complete. He is with Jesus, at the right hand of God. He knows what we hope to know. He hears the angels singing. His pain is gone. In this scripture, James is telling me to not consider it a bother to go through trials, but instead to perservere and deal. Praise to the Lord while going through the trial. Don't walk with my head down. If I learn nothing else from this friend's passing, may it be that all things truly do "work to the good of those who love him and have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:27-29).

Acts 16:16-18 Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days.
But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour.



This says to me in that not all is as it seems.

James 1:22 - 25

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.

This says a lot to me about how I need to remember to apply the Word, not just read it. I need to hear it and do it. I need to grasp it. I need to write it on the tablet of my heart and let it come through in everything that I do. I love all of James. The book is very powerful. But I figured it would be obnoxious to post the entire book in one post! :) Want to try to keep you coming back for more conversation.

I have this verse hanging up in my home. I love this verse. I find that if I hang in there, I really will soar on wings as eagles. What I love even more though, is to read the whole thing! I love from start to end how this section of verses reads:

"To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One. Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God"? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

"Be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds..."

This is my all time favorite. It just speak volumes to me on how we have to deal with our minds on a daily basis so that we don't conform to the things of this world and today. If our hearts and minds are not renewed to the things of God it is easy to practice the things in Romans chapter 1. It easy to be decieved as the battle is in the mind. I love this scripture :thumbsup:

I love Johua 1:9. Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid nor be dismayed because the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Anytime I feel like maybe I can't do something or I feel nervous or shy etc., I just remember that God is always there with me no matter what. There is always someone on my side. I am not alone. He will never leave my side and i can do it because he is with me.:angel:

Zephaniah 2:1-3

1 Gather together—yes, gather together,
you shameless nation.
2 Gather before judgment begins,
before your time to repent is blown away like chaff.
Act now, before the fierce fury of the Lord falls
and the terrible day of the Lord’s anger begins.
3 Seek the Lord, all who are humble,
and follow his commands.
Seek to do what is right
and to live humbly.
Perhaps even yet the Lord will protect you—
protect you from his anger on that day of destruction.

Wow! 2 Chronices 7:14 has been on my heart all year. And when I read this, I saw a lot of similarity.....I am still digesting it...more to come....

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

Psalm 18: 6 In my distress I called upon the LORD,
And cried out to my God;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.


This has ministered to me in so many ways over the years. It struck me in yet another way today.

Sometimes we are hearing thoughts that bring on condemnation or a sense of failure. Anyone know what I'm talking about? :) In those moments it can be hard to turn to God when often we are feeling like we are failing God. With that in mind, read the verse again.

He is the one we turn to, no matter how we feel, no matter what we've done, or haven't done.
