Seek God

"Seek God in the happy, good times.
Seek God in the rough, bad times.
GOD is with us ALL the time."

"Sifting and Purifying"

Quiet Time Word: Carla-Rae

"Sifting and Purifying"

Just as we sift grain or flour to remove impurities before we can put these elements to proper use, we should allow God to sift our lives of any impurities that would hinder our lives from being a good example to others.

Oh, Lord, help me to let go of the "things" that keep me from being a good example to others.

Enjoy Where You Are...

Quiet Time Word: By Carla-Rae

This bears repeating.

"Enjoy where you ARE, while you are on the way to where you are going."

Peace

We Can Only be Who we Are...

Quiet Time Word: Carla-Rae, 


"We can only be who we are. We will never do 'everything' right and we will never say 'all the right' things. In Christ we can be thankful that there is ONE WHO understands and accepts us just the way we are." GO GO!

"Who is Our Center"

Simply put, "We must have a center, or we are off balance."

'QUIET TIME WORDS: By Carla-Rae "Performance Anxiety"

Did you know that Creator God's "love" flows out from eternity without conditions or limits? Yes, unconditionally.  Did you also know, that once we have acknowledged and accepted HIM into our lives, there is nothing we can do to change HIS unconditional love toward us? And further more our performance, no matter how wonderful, does not make HIM love us more or less. God's "love" and our performance are completely different issues. What a relief!
It is not about "US" and what we "DO". It is about an eternal God who loves us with an everlasting love. Our accomplishments have no effect on God's love for us. Therefore,  we can leave our anxiety at the door, and receive HIS peace and love without fail.

GO GOD!

Peace.

"Quiet time Words" by Carla-Rae "Our Weakness; HIS Strength"

Our Creator God designed us to be filled with HIs heavenly, divine, contents. We are merely vessels made of earth and clay, with many weaknesses, yet our weaknesses give HIM room to shine brightly in and through us. We will never be perfect in this "earthen vessel". However, as we yield to HIS perfection, allowing it to operate through us, HIS spirit can reach others in ways we could never have dreamed possible. It is NOT about us. Actually, it is about us getting out of the way, (humbling ourselves, if you will), so HE can be seen in everything we do. In other words, HIS power shines brightly, while our weakness is overshadowed by HIM.
In humility and a contrite heart, God can do His mightiest work.

Peace.
