Live In The Moment

Live in the moment. Let go of the past and do not worry about the future. ~ Live In The Moment Quotes ~

Too often, we let the past and the future steal our present. It's essential to live in the moment.

We go into a room and forget why we went there. I believe it may be because our minds are on something else. If we lived in the moment, this would happen less often.

Our Bible verse says, "This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 NASB

I love this verse. It says, "This is the day." Not yesterday was the day, or tomorrow is the day. We don't know what tomorrow will bring. But, I believe it's essential to live in this day and this moment.

Live in the moment. Let go of the past and do not worry about the future.

True Friendship

True friends are never apart, maybe in distance, but never in heart. ~ Friendship Quotes

Today is my friend Lois's funeral. I will miss her and our chats through FB and texting, that's for sure. But, even so, she will always remain in my heart.

Our Bible verse says, The sweet smell of incense can make you feel good, but true friendship is better still. Proverbs 27:9 CEV

Yes, smelling something sweet can make us feel good, but true friendship is better still.

True friends are never apart, maybe in distance, but never in heart.

Be Careful What You Focus On

What you focus on grows. ~ Quotes ~

Interestingly, what we focus on does grow. So if we keep thinking about eating a hot fudge sundae, it's more than likely, that we'll be getting one. Likewise, if we're angry at someone, the more we think about the situation, the madder we can get.

Our Bible verse says, "Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end." Hebrews 12:2 GNT

How important it is to keep our focus fixed on Jesus. When we focus on Him, He grows more significant, and everything else falls into place.

What you focus on grows.

Life Is A Journey

by Kay Heitsch

Life is a journey with problems to solve, lessons to learn, but most of all, experiences to enjoy. ~ Enjoy The Journey Quotes ~

We are only here on earth for a very short time. Of course, we have problems to solve and lessons to learn, but I agree we also have experiences to enjoy.

Our Bible verse says, "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

God has a wonderful plan for our lives. They are plans for good to give us a future and hope. Let's enjoy this wonderful journey God has planned for us.

Life is a journey with problems to solve, lessons to learn, but most of all, experiences to enjoy.

Peace Returns

by Kay Heitsch

God promises perfect peace for those who put their trust in Him. Inspirational Quotes ~

It is amazing how our feelings change when we trust the LORD. It doesn't matter what's happening around us, but what's going on in us that makes us stressed out and worried.

Our Bible verse says, "You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You!" Isaiah 26:3

Where we fix our thoughts is essential if we want perfect peace. For example, when I feel stressed and worried, I know that my thoughts are on circumstances and not set on the LORD.

The second I change my thinking and put my trust in the LORD, my feelings change, and peace returns.

God promises perfect peace for those who put their trust in Him.

Gotta Look

by Kay Heitsch

Gotta look for the good in the bad, the happy in the sad, the gain in your pain, what makes you grateful, not hateful. ~ Look For The Good Quotes ~

What are we looking for? When we have hope, we are expecting something good to happen. Therefore, we look for God to work good out of every situation.

Our Bible verses say, And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust Him. Romans 15:13

We know that God will work out everything for our good. He will fill us with joy and peace as we keep trusting Him.

Gotta look for the good in the bad, the happy in the sad, the gain in your pain, what makes you grateful, not hateful.

Never Wasted

by Kay Heitsch

Time spent meditating on God's word is never wasted. ~ Meditate on God's Word Quotes ~

I am so thankful for the time I have spent meditating on the Bible. I can not tell you how much this instruction book has helped me.

When I don't understand why something has happened, I meditate on, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5.

When I feel stressed, I meditate on "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid." John 14:27 I also think, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7

When I wonder how something will work out, I say, "God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Romans 8:28

I believe this last verse I'll share is one of my favorite go-to verses. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." John 10:10

I want to live the abundant life that Jesus died to give me. As I meditate on God's word, I have found everything I need to live this incredible life. What a way to live!

Time spent meditating on God's word is never wasted.
