Beautiful place! Must be so nice and quiet spending some time there, as long as it isn't crowded with people there.

God loves you.
Just think about that statement for a minute or two or twenty.
The thought that God loves me is awesome. The Creator of the Universe, who holds it together by the Word of His power, loves you. He thinks about you, He has plans for you. And they are good plans. Jeremiah 29:11
He loves you so much, He died for you. Romans 5:8
And not because you were a really good person. But you were someone who needed His love, a sinner.
He saw you in the disgusting filth of sin, but He saw past all of that to see the beautiful person you are.
Everybody else may have seen a chunk of worthless coal, but God saw the diamond that was you underneath all of the grime.
What a wonderful Savior we have.

It's a nice pic to go with the Scripture that accompanies it, and looks to be the perfect place to reflect upon Jesus.

Right now I am eating some cookies, and I am getting to my mind. Whilst I just ate my last bit of chocolate cookie, and drank some milk from a glass, that this is delightful! Think about; We are allowed to delight ourselves in these goods, and God delights with us.
I also thought same way as a chocolate cookie gives me a momentary delight, Jesus Christ gives a delight which lasts much longer than this again!
The fact that I can think of Jesus Christ whilst eating some cookies and drinking milk, is a delight and joy in it's self as well.
We are blessed beyond measure! This is why we should take moments where we think in ways like these! By being thankful in the small blessings, this way we will notice His presence more in our lives every day too!

"Abiding in Your perfect Will, My Lord Jesus!"
Lord, Your Word,
speaks life to me.
The moment my thoughts consume it,
it takes it's place within my heart.
Your Holy Spirit,
moves within it's pages.
And I gain understanding and wisdom,
through the breath of life which Your Spirit gives.
The beginning of wisdom,
is when I fear You Lord.
And to fear You Lord,
is a form of high respect for You,
keeping Your law and commandments.
A love which is greater based,
than how one humanly can fully understand.
But when we learn to love and fear You,
it will all just come naturally to us.
It will become natural to want to,
do what is good and to love You!
Not out of myself alone,
but through You who loved us first.
Because You loved us first,
we know how to love.
As I abide in You my Lord Jesus and the Father,
I will also abide in Your love.
And as I abide in Your love,
I will want to do what is right and good.
And as I want to do,
what is right and good.
Then I will also abide,
in Your perfect Will, my Lord God Almighty.

You're 100 percent right. It's the little things that always turn out to be the big things.
God bless, and thank you for sharing.

I just felt like entering in here for a bit after reading in my bible earlier before bedtime, and I just felt so encouraged. Just looking at the forum encouraged me.
I thank God for letting this be my place of Fellowship these days! Here it feels like the world is so small, and whilst many lives farther away as well as overseas, we are close to one another in the Spirit.

I wrote a spanish poem today. I will put it in here with my directly written english translation.
Como una flor en la mano de Dios.
Como una flor dada a tu mano,
quiero ser mi gran Señor.
Que lo sujetas en la mano,
con tu cariño y con cuidado.
Aunque sea fràgil,
tu me sostienes con tu fuerza.
Y me das una vida nueva,
en cambio de esta que se marchita.
En vez de los petales de mi vieja vida,
que van cayendo hasta el final.
Tu me daras una corona,
como promesa de vida eterna.
En tus ojos soy una flor preciosa,
mi vida es como un tesoro para ti Señor.
Por eso quisiste dar tu vida para mi,
por tu gran amor dada a esta flor fràgil.
Y por eso mi Señor,
¡quiero que toda mi vida sea tuya!
Que sea una flor aprobada,
ante tu vista mi Señor y Dios.
Que mi vida sea ante ti,
como un perfume de incienso.
Y cuando las pruebas me presionan hacia abajo,
que el olor de mi fidelidad y de mi perseverancia lleguen hacia arriba,
¡y te den gloria!
By: Crowned Princess.
Like a flower in the hand of God.
Like a flower given to your hand,
is what I want to be my great Lord.
That you hold it in your hand,
fondly and with care.
Although I am fragile,
you sustain me with your strenght.
And you give me a new life,
in change for this one which withers.
Instead of the petals of my old life,
that are falling down until the end.
You will give me a crown,
as promised for eternal life.
In your eyes I am a precious flower,
my life is like a treasure for you Lord
That's why you wanted to give your life for me,
because of your great love given to this fragile flower.
And that's why my Lord,
¡I want my whole life to be yours!
That I will be an approved flower,
before your sight my Lord and God.
That my life will be before you,
like a perfume of incense.
And when the trials press me down,
that the odor of my faithfulness and my endurance will arrive up above,
¡and giving you glory!
