I Wrote This Several Years Ago & I Share It Again Today. Be Encouraged.

Before life ever began in our lives with the first breath of life breathed into us by God, we were already created to be a blessing and to be a blessing to others. Two scriptures belong in this writing.


Psalm 1:1-3 via the God’s Word Translation

“Blessed is the person who does not follow the advice of wicked people, take the path of sinners, or join the company of mockers. Rather, he delights in the teachings of the Lord and reflects on his teachings day and night. He is like a tree planted beside streams-a tree that produces fruit in season and whose leaves do not wither. He succeeds in everything he does.”

Psalm 5: 12 via the God’s Word Translation

“You bless righteous people, O Lord. Like a large shield, you surround them with your favor.”

As a person grows in their walk with the Lord, they become comfortable sharing their story with others of all of the good things the Lord has done for them and their family. For there was a time when the favor and continual blessing of the Lord was void in their life and an empty feeling was inside of them. Then there was that day when they opened their heart up to the Lord and their” new life” so to speak began. As they continue in their walk with the Lord struggles begin to appear and challenges that were not there just a few short months ago. It is in these times of trial that it is most important to keep following the Lord. Remind yourself and others of the good that the Lord has done in your life. He never keeps you in a struggle unless you choose to stay there. It is in the struggle that your faith grows by leaps and bounds and one day you will look back upon this and truly see the hand of the Lord. He is there with you to walk you through this, don’t let go of Him.
I keep hearing these words repeatedly by the spirit of the Lord for you ___________ (this was written for a specific person.)  “He loves you, He loves you, He loves you. He is very pleased with you and do not let go or give up because sunshine is right around the corner. The dark days are gone and when there is sunshine, there are no dark days. Smile and let your light shine forth on others. You have a great story to share with others a story of encouragement and hope for others. As you begin to share it, it is a little frazzling at first. To start to speak the words that the Holy Spirit shares with you to share with others. That is normal and the more you step out in faith the easier it becomes and the words just flow. Even when you least expect to share with someone you will find yourself doing that. At times, you will think you are there to bless another and with the gentle love of the Father, you will be the one that ends up being blessed with your obedience to share with another. It is likened to riding a bike. You have to concentrate in the beginning to balance yourself and not fall off. Sometimes there are a couple of spills off the bike, only used to perfect the riding of the bike. Then the next thing you know you get on the bike and ride without even thinking about it. You ride and are now able to enjoy the scenery around you with still keeping an eye out for big bumps and barriers ahead of you. At times, you even become bold enough to ride along with taking both hands off the handlebars. Such freedom when you can do that, balance, ride, and feel the breeze the faster and faster you go.”
