Let Me Tell You One Thing

  God is Close Take care to nurture the hurting and the wounded of life and the return will be the sweetness of God's breath. There Are No Homeless I never saw anyone that had no place to go,  their destiny is constantly beckoning them.  Whether for gold or poverty, for love or hate, whether for fame or anonymity, the road is a magnet.  Reminisce Back when is a thing to get lost in-but mostly it takes away from the right now. No Regrets Fill the void with things that are good, like love, joy and peace.  There are no regrets with these and they fill the heart with ease.

Psalm 84: 7-9 Devotions in Psalms October 13, 2015 Vs 7 They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.                Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is like the shining sun that shines ever brighter into the perfect day.                Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.                John 1:16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.                2 Corinthians 3:18 But 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.
