Sweet Love 5! Conclusion...

When our most tireless efforts fail, when we are battered by the raging storms of life, we need to say this, over and over again, ‘God is with me and God is faithful’. Let this sink deep into your heart. 

When days grow dark and nights grow bleak, we can be thankful that our God will lead us through life’s dark valleys and into the sunlight of Hope. 

Jesus alone can calm our fears. Jesus enables us to overcome the difficult moments in life, when with Faith and Hope we turn to Him and ask His help. He alone has the words of eternal life. 

When things get difficult or I am completely terrified, I whisper to the Heart of Jesus, 'Jesus I trust You'. 

Peter walked on the waves of the lake, because he was looking Jesus in the eye. Peter had faith, but when the wind blew strongly Peter began to sink, because in that given moment, he doubted.

And when he doubted, he lost personal contact with the Master. Peter's faith lacked complete abandonment to Christ. He began to sink and was rebuked: "O man of little faith, why did you doubt?" Matthew 14:31. 

When we keep our gaze on Jesus, our ears attentive to His words, our will firm in following His command – we too will conquer the storms that beset us.

Jesus is with us in the midst of the storms of our life. He comforts us with His words, “Take heart, it is I; have no fear”. Matthew 14:27(-31)

Up where the Mountain meets the Sky!

Out where the lightning splits the sea!

There's GOD in Heaven, Who is Watching me.

God is called 'The Old Faithful'. He keeps His promises. God, Himself is the model we must study for examples of faithfulness. Because God is faithful, the strength to be faithful is promised to us. We must always, work our way to be faithful.

God does not begin a work and leave it undone. God never stops until He is finished. His obligation to all life and its care and sustenance continues unabated.

When God's Word goes forth, It accomplishes what He sent It to do!

REMEMBER: 

God's grace is God’s unmerited favour! His grace is sufficient for any trial or suffering we will ever encounter. Often we wonder why God allows something and we question or doubt God's goodness. 

DON'T! 

We will remember that what God promises-God delivers. God is called The OLD FAITHFUL! 

Love is forever. You give to the last breath never expecting anything in return. No matter how hurt or broken you are, you love. There is no bitterness or anger in love. Let me leave you with a Love quote. It is one of my favourites and one that stands the test of time. ‘The Sun, never tells the Earth, you owe me. Look what happens with a LOVE like that. It lights up the entire Sky.’

Love is awesome, isn't it? It is God's best and He gives it to us freely! No charge.

CONCLUSION: 

God has the final say. God can bless us, no matter where we are. The odds may be against us but the Most High God is for us. God’s blessings will chase us down. 

Remember, in a perfect storm we need to be perfectly calm like Jesus. We will make it through this storm. Amen. 

Don’t be afraid! Change is inevitable. Change is how we grow.

Sometimes God closes doors for reasons we may never know. But where there is Faith, there is Hope. And with HOPE there are infinite possibilities. I am a firm believer that when a door closes and if you look closely or wait, then in time you will find a window or maybe a door open up. So, hang on. It may get bumpy. Don’t give up! Don’t give in. HOPE and Believe!

What you are looking for, maybe just around the corner.

I wish you an Ephesians 3:20-Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

With all my love, 

For LOVE PREVAILS!
