#310. A Little Hug

Hugs tell us many things; that we are loved, that we are important, that we are valued. This message is a little hug from God telling you all those things. Enjoy it, be blessed by it and try to figure out a way to hug God back.

#309. The Torn Veil

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split Matthew 27:51

This was no small miracle - the tearing of such a thick veil - but it was not intended merely as a display of power. It was a great object lesson for us. The old law was put aside. When Jesus died, the sacrifices were all fulfilled in Him. The tearing also revealed all the hidden things of the old system. The mercy seat could now be seen, and God's glory gleamed above it.

Access to God is now available to every believer in Christ Jesus. This is not one small peephole, though which we may peer at the mercy seat. No, this veil has been ripped apart, from top to bottom. We may come boldly to the throne of heavenly grace.

#308. The Scarlet Cord

“Agreed,” she replied. “Let it be as you say.” So she sent them away, and they departed. And she tied the scarlet cord in the window. Joshua 2:21

Rahab put her life in the hands of the spies. To her, they were representatives of the God of Israel.

Her faith was simple and firm, but it was very obedient. Tying the scarlet cord in the window was a very trivial act in itself, but she dared not forget it.

There is a solemn lesson in Rahab's simple act. Am I implicitly trusting in the precious blood of Jesus? Have I tried the scarlet cord in my window?

There is One who sees the scarlet line even when I lack the faith to see it myself. My Lord will see it and preserve me from His judgment.

#307. Psalm 28:7

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. Psalm 28:7

#306. Jesus Is A Friend Of Mine

#305. Your Ability To Receive Is Equally Important To Your Ability To Give

Have you ever brought a special gift, working hard just to get it, only to be refused by the person you were giving it to? That didn't feel right, did it? Our relationships are greatly enhanced when we become not only generous givers, but generous receivers as well. When we know how to accept gladly, wholeheartedly, embracing the gift as an extension of the giver. It takes both giving and receiving for care and generosity to flow unimpeded.

#303. Worshipping God Is Good For You

In a world where there are many things competing for your devotion and worship, God is the only one that delivers and doesn't disappoint. Putting anything above God will ultimately let you down and leave you feeling empty. So sing praises, lift your hands in the air and give glory to God. It's good for you!

#302. Your Pains Are God's Way To Rouse You From Slumber

Pain is your wake-up call to awaken, to look deeper into yourself, to adjust the course of your life. God tries to be as gentle as possible, and only if you ignore the call does the pain get stronger.

#301. Greatness Is Your Birthright

Who are You to shine brighter than others? Who are You to take a step forward when others are shrinking back? Who are You to make others feel insecure with your greatness? You are a child of God. Take a step forward, shine bright, - inspire others with your light to their own greatness.

#300. You Can Influence Those Around You

Think well about the seeds you are planting as you influence the people around you every day. You can plant seeds of impatience, fear, and frustration, or of love, contentment and faith.

#299. Miracles Aren't Always Big

If you spend all your time looking for big miracles, you're likely to miss a lot of the little ones; finding your keys when you need them, getting the right medicine for an illness, arriving home safely. God is giving you little miracles all the time.

#298. You Have So Many Gifts - Use Them!

God has given you so many gifts to sow love and to give hope, to shine light and to spread joy. Abundant gifts. Use them. Give to yourself and give to others. There is an endless spring where they come from.

#297. Humans Learn Only By Trial And Error

You've got to live life, not think about it. Step into the midst of things, try and fail and learn and stand up again. The question is not whether you will or will not make mistakes - you will. The question is do you want to learn and grow, or do you want to shrink back and be stuck? Take that step you've been avoiding. You can succeed, or you can get feedback that it didn't work, but in either case you are sure to feel alive.

#296. Bless and Praise

When you see another doing something wonderful, or simply being breathtaking, come out of your shell and let them know how inspiring they are. Yes, even if it's a total stranger. Do not miss these opportunities to let God's grace flow through you.

#295. Generosity Will Make You Rich

The best thing to do if you're feeling poor is to give something away. Give a few dollars to a homeless person, some clothes to a thrift store or pay for the person behind you at the drive through. Instead of focusing on what you don't have, focus on what you do have and how you can bless others with it. Being able to give is a Divine gift in itself.

#294. God's Important Gift To Man - Love

Love is the blood of the soul. God wants all beings to have healthy and strong souls, so God created a simple law to nourish the soul: the more you give love, the more you receive love. Remember all the beings you love - people, animals - that you haven't thought of lately. Do not wait anymore, reconnect with them today and express your love.

#292. You Can Find Meaning In The Storm

At times everyone goes through trials and tribulations. Seek out someone else in a similar situation and give them an encouragement or just a hug. Find meaning in the midst of your struggles by helping another in similar straits.

#291. Wait For The Lord

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD Psalm 27:14

Are you hanging on by your fingernails, dear one? Because God is who He is, because our times are in His hands, I have to tell you not to give up. Don't "get on with your life." Wait, wait, I say, for the Lord, for His direction, His solution. He's never late.
