Renewed Recovery For All

This....

In reference to responding to those who have done you wrong...
If you are ever confronted with the choice to extend grace or react in vengeance, ask yourself "what would Jesus do?"
Ephesians 4 32"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."

Romans 12 19"Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord."

One of the toughest, but most powerful lessons i have ever been taught.
Walking in peace and freedom only comes by YOUR obedience to the Lord.
It is not dependent on anyone else.
That is all.
Happy Thursday!

He sits with me

How many know this feeling?
Sitting, in a room all alone...
Going through a storm
A trial.
Maybe someone walked out on you
Deserted you
Abandoned you
Robbed you
Left you broken, bruised, battered and empty.
Maybe you were going through a great trial or test.
Something that had all of your emotions ties up.
A loved one, or yourself, going through a great storm.
And you are so enveloped by it.
It consumes your every emotion.
Robs you of all peace.
I'm sure we have all felt something similar, and know just how it feels.
As I look back on these times, I am reminded of one thing...
Psalm 34 18"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted;
he rescues those whose spirits are crushed."
I wanna take a minute and just thank Him....
For sitting with me
Just sitting with me!
He sits with me when I am sad
When I am crushed
When I feel like I am going to suffocate
And be overtaken by the storm surrounding me.
He sits with me and holds me.
As I cry
As I scream
As my heart feels like it is literally being ripped from my chest, He sits with me.
He sees my pain
My hurt
Rejected
Abandoned
Broken in a million pieces.
And it doesn't scare Him.
He doesn't shy away from it
He never says it's too much for Him
He sits with me.
In my darkest
In my lowest.
When I want to give up
Give in
Throw in the towel...
He sits with me.
And He holds me!
Loves me!
Listens to me!
And sometimes He speaks.
Sometimes...
He doesn't always have to speak
He doesn't always have to use words
Just His presence. That makes it all better.
I just want to thank Him.
He doesn't have to, but He does it anyway.
Oh how precious is My Jesus 🩵
Every moment, of every day.
He's the friend that sticks closer than a brother.
He is there when everyone else walks away.
When everyone else turns their back on you.
And is everything you need.
At the very time you need Him.
In every way!
Oh, this man named Jesus...
If you don't know Him today, please cry out to Him and LET HIM be the one who will NEVER leave you, nor forsake you.
And when the time comes, and you need Him to be there with you, He will be.
Thank you Jesus for loving me enough to sit with me 💞
