Good Friday

Morning Blessings - Susie Larson
May you pause for a moment today and consider this: YOU are the object of God's affection. YOU are the reason Jesus came to earth as vulnerable baby. YOU were the joy set before Him when He endured the Cross and scorned its shame. Jesus made a public spectacle of the enemy that stands against you; He crushed the lies the enemy spews about you because YOU are someone Jesus loves and wants forever in eternity with Him. Jesus IS the reason for the Season. May we joyfully celebrate the One who came as a baby, died our death, and will return as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Have a thoughtful-heart-engaged day today.

Palm Sunday

When Jesus triumphantly rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the crowds who waved palm branches and excitedly exclaimed "Hosanna in the highest" were soon shouting "crucify Him" five days later on Good Friday. They wanted a King to deliver them from Rome, not a suffering Savior who would hang on a cross. Jesus Christ came to earth for one reason--to die for sin, mine and yours--that we might be forgiven and saved from an eternity in hell. We’re all sinners in need of a Savior.

Franklin Graham

 

His Love Will Endure!!

Seen this morning on Facebook and had to copy and share...thanks Ann Voskamp

Hey Soul? hey, listen -- really listen & feel this down deep: "Fear nothing—not flying arrows in the day, not disaster that erupts at high noon... *because God is your refuge*" Ps. 91MSG.
Every time we feel the anxiety build today? We're just saying 4 words:
I. Trust. You. Jesus. Just keep saying His name, inviting Him to come -- and Jesus moves right in & He evicts fear.
The problems of hard times are answered in the presence of Himself: *God is with us.*
Bottom line? All fear is the lie that God’s love ends.
Untie that lie. God's love for you will never, ever, ever end ---
Untie that lie that strangles you by circling everything today with Truth:
Give Thanks to The Lord, His Love Endures – His LOVE ENDURES through our messes, our failures, our mountains --- His Love Endures — without expiry date, without end — Forever.
So, yeah, Brave Soul, let's go get today! Trust Him! Thank Him!
His LOVE WILL ENDURE EVERYTHING WITH YOU TODAY!

 

Susie Larson- Evening Blessing

 May God open the heavens and pour a fresh grace awakening into your soul. May you understand--on a whole new level--what it means to rest in the finished work of Christ. May you abound in every good work because God's grace empowers you. May you persevere in prayer because His grace fuels you. May you refuse to strive for appearance sake because you've already been established for Jesus' Namesake. You are loved, treasured, appointed, and anointed. You're free to climb mountain heights with joy and free to stumble and fall without the condemnation. Jesus holds you and will lead you safely home. Have a heart-at-rest sort of night tonight! He's got you!

Susie Larson...Evening Blessing

May you begin to cherish the wonder of small things: small seeds, baby steps, subtle shifts in perspective. Choose LIFE every chance you get. When God is about to do a new thing, He starts small and speaks to those who are listening. Are you listening? Don't underestimate the power of your kindness, obedience, offerings, and prayers. Cherish today. Embrace faith. Take steps of obedience. Do small things like they're big things. God brings the increase. God multiplies. He has no rival. Nothing is too difficult for Him! Open your hand and trust Him to make something out of practically nothing. He's a wonder-working God and loves to work through you! Embrace the power of small steps even tonight!

Susie Larson...Morning Blessing

When you're weary and tired, may God give you rest and a right perspective. When you long to run ahead on your own, may He give you divine wisdom to wait on Him. When your guard is down and you're vulnerable to the enemy's schemes, may God protect you and deliver you on every side. And when you're ready to fly, may He lift you up and bless you before a watching world. Take one humble step at a time. He'll lead you to your next place of promise. May yours be a powerful, nourishing, faith-filled day!

 May God remove every hindrance that keeps you from knowing His love in a way that changes you. May He change every circumstance that sends a lying message to you. May He highlight every trial He's using to train you into a warrior. And may He remind you that all of heaven is on your side. You are very close to His heart. Live and breathe with expectancy and hope. He's got you.
