Love and live fearfully and wonderfully

So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. John 16:22

Life is going to BE filled with ups and downs, highs and lows, ebbs and flows. We will have good days and bad days, and with today’s message, we’ll also experience “Grief and Joy”. As the text says today, “Although death and sin rob from us now and inflict us with grief, they cannot withhold our joy…. One day, Jesus will turn the tables and our sorrow will be transformed into joy that nothing can destroy.“ Trouble will never last always, and God will always work things out in our favor. Let’s us work to REmain faithful knowing that there will BE glory after each battle, after pain, and after sorrow.

Ezra 6

As with the children in Israel, God will make us joyful them joyful and strengthen our hands, as written in Ezra‬ ‭6‬:‭22‬.

REflection from Awesome: Building Great Relationships by Rick Warren

Today’s message by Rick Warren is “Love Builds Relationships”. He BEgins by saying: “It’s an amazing dilemma we have as human beings: We long to be close to others, but we also fear being close. We long to experience intimacy with others, but we’re also scared of it. Fear and insecurity prevent intimacy within relationships.” However, we have to REmember that love drives our fear, love conquers all, for God is love. Let us work to share love, God’s love in all we do and with those who are special in our lives, and our RElationships will grow stronger and last.

Psalm 139:13-14

Greatness has BEen our destiny BEfore we were ever created. Know that and REmember that we are fearfully made and wonderful people.🙏🏽🦋💚🌈

Love and live fearfully and wonderfully, my friend.
