Magnify

By Kay Heitsch

Don't magnify problems. Magnify the LORD! ~ Magnify The LORD Quotes ~

It's easy to talk about our problems. The more we talk about them, the bigger they seem to get. Our God is all-powerful. I wonder what would happen if instead of magnifying our problems, we magnified the LORD.

Our Bible verse says. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together! Psalm 34:3

This verse tells us to magnify the LORD! Let's exalt His name today and every day.

Don't magnify problems. Magnify the LORD!

Nothing Can Change

Nothing can change God's love for you! ~ God's Eternal Love Quotes~

God is love, and nothing we can do can ever change His love for us. God won't love you more than he does right now!

Our Bible verse says. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. Psalm 107:1

We should always give thanks to God for His faithful and enduring love. We may not always be faithful and enduring in our love, but God always is!

God Heals

By Kay Heitsch

Whether God heals instantly, through doctors and medicine, or up in heaven, I will trust His sovereign plan. ~ God Heals Quotes ~

I have been healed many times, I'm sure. Sometimes I realized it, and other times I have not.

Most nights, I say to myself, "God is healing me right now." I don't always know what needs healing, but I know God is my healer.

Our Bible verse says. "By His stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:5

We are healed because of Jesus. We should be thankful and never forget all He has done and will do for us.

Whether God heals instantly, through doctors and medicine, or up in heaven, I will trust His sovereign plan.

True Identity

By Kay Heitsch

The more you affirm who you are "In Christ", the more you will understand your true identity.

When I first started to study the Bible, I found myself highlighting all the Bible verses that used the words "In Christ" and "Through Christ." Believe me, there are a lot of them.

At first, I didn't understand what they meant. I came to realize these words were all about our connection to Jesus and what He has done for us. When we understand we have been made right with God because of Jesus, we know our true identity.

Our Bible verse says. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV

We have been made right with God because of what Jesus did for us. We are made right IN HIM because He is in us through the Holy Spirit.

The more you affirm who you are in Christ, the more you will understand your true identity.

Who Are You?

By Kay Heitsch

Freedom is knowing who you really are. ~ Knowing Who You Are Quotes ~

When we are comfortable with who we are, it's freedom. We don't have to compare ourselves with other people. We are free to be the unique person God created us to be.

Our Bible verse says. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10 NLT

Who are you? You are God's masterpiece! He created us anew in Christ Jesus so that we can do the good things He has already planned.

Freedom is knowing who you really are.

It Is Finished!

By Kay Heitsch

Christianity isn't a DO. It's a DONE! Our do is to believe what Jesus said, "It is finished!"

I know this is hard for some people to believe. I know, I thought this couldn't be true. It's too good to be true. But Jesus said, "It is finished!" We can't add anything to the perfect work Jesus did for us.

Our two Bible verses say. “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one He has sent.”John 6:28 &29, “It is finished!” John 19:30

There you have it, plain and simple. Our DO is to BELIEVE in Jesus and to also believe that He paid it all. It is finished!

Who Cares?

By Kay Heitsch

Do you ever wonder, who cares? I have a message for you. God cares! Maybe some people don't give a rip about us, but no matter what, we can rest assured that our Father God loves and cares for us.

Our Bible verse says. Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you. 1 Peter 5:7 NLT

Do you need someone who cares to talk to? Talk to God! He says to give all of our worries and cares to Him. Why? Because He cares for us.

Who cares? God cares!

There's A Plan

By Kay Heitsch

Created For A Purpose. ~ Inspirational Quotes ~

Sometimes we wonder why we are here. We have been created for a purpose. God has a plan for each one of our lives.

Our Bible verse says. For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

There you have it! God has created each of us, and He has a plan. His plans will give us a good future and hope.

Never forget that you have been created for a purpose.

Trust and Don't Overthink

By Kay Heitsch

Sometimes the best you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best. ~ God's Will Quotes ~

This quote is easier said than done at times. It's easy to get into a downward spiral on how we think something should go. But we can stop, breathe, and have faith that everything will work out for the best when we want God's will in our lives.

Our Bible verse says, Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

When we start to overthink, we can quote this Bible verse rather than rely on what we think we know.

Sometimes the best you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best.

Ask For Help

By Kay Heitsch

If you want God to help you with your problems, you must show up and ask Him. ~ Ask God To Help Quotes ~

I get up very early in the morning. I don't always ask God to help me with my day, but I sure should. I have cried out to God for help many times, and He always comes through. Maybe not how I thought He would, though.

Our Bible verse says. I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in Your words. Psalm 119:147 ESV

When we get up in the morning, whether before or after dawn, we can ask God for help. Then we can put God's words into practice.

Sleep

By Kay Heitsch

Sleep In Peace ~ Trust God For Peaceful Sleep Quotes ~

Several years ago, my husband, Bill, worked out of town. Bill had been transferred several times, but I always had children in the house. This time, all the kids were gone, and I was alone.

I was a member of Planet Fitness at the time. I had some friends with whom I shared my situation. They had a lot of ideas about what I needed to do to keep myself safe if someone tried to break into the house at night.

After listening to their scary advice, I had a hard time sleeping. I barricaded myself in the bedroom. I took my earplugs out in case I needed to hear if anyone was trying to break in. I was so stressed that I found myself lying at the end of the bed when I woke up in the morning.

Finally, I decided to put my trust in the LORD! If someone broke in, I had had a good life, and I was ready to leave this planet! I put my earplugs back in and slept in peace.

Our Bible verse says. In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe. Psalm 4:8 NLT

I put this verse into practice and slept well from then on. I highly recommend it!

Sleep In Peace.

I'm Just Passing Through

By Kay Heitsch

This world is not my home. I'm just passing through. ~ Citizenship Quotes ~

We are all on a journey home. Our citizenship is in heaven. What we do with the time between our birth and death is what matters. Are we going to work the plan God has for us or stress about what's going on in this world?

It's easy to get all entangled in what's going on in this temporary home. I am guilty of that at times, too. But I am happy for the reminder that this is not my home. I am just traveling through.

Our Bible verses say. But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. Philippians 3:20 For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come. Hebrews 13:14

These two verses make it clear that this world is not our permanent home. We are just passing through.

This world is not my home. I'm just passing through.

The Power of Words

By Kay Heitsch

Words are powerful. They can create, or they can destroy. So choose your words wisely. ~ Motivational Quotes ~

I don't know if we really think about the power that our words have on our lives that often. Our faith is activated by our words. We need to speak about what we believe and what we want in our lives.

I wonder how our lives would change for the better if we spoke words of healing, freedom, and blessings over our lives and those of others.

Our Bible verse says. Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21

Our words can bring life or death. Our words have consequences. Never forget that.

Live With Purpose

By Kay Heitsch

Don't Just Exist-Live With Purpose ~ Purpose Quotes ~

We only have a limited time on earth. We all have 24 hours in a day. One person doesn't get any more time than another. What we do with our 24 hours is up to us. We can exist and do nothing meaningful, or we can live a life of purpose.

Our Bible verse says. Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise. Ephesians 5:15 NLV

If we live a life of purpose, we will live as wise people. We need to be very careful that we don't just exist as the unwise but live as wise people.

Be Kind

By Kay Heitsch

In a world where you can be anything. Be kind! ~ Inspirational Quotes ~

When we meet someone, we have no idea what is going on in their lives. It's so important to be kind. It does not cost anything to smile. Your kindness could be what gives them the strength to make it through another day.
