EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
God is a wonder-working God! He has the strategy that we do not have. He has the ability to accomplish more than we could ever imagine. He says we matter to Him! We were exquisitely designed for a purpose.
There are countless ways that Jesus shows us things He has in store for our lives. We just need to pray, read scripture, and listen to His still, small voice within speak to us.  It would take me hours and hours to share how He reveals things to me. He heals my heart when I need Him to so I can be strong and carry out the work He calls me to do.
He turns my mourning into dancing, and He clothes me with His joy.
He allows me to sing praises and not be silent.  And I give him thanks!
(See Psalm 30:11-12)
Every day we need to make a conscientious effort to look to God for our joy. Many of us have scar tissue that we cannot seem to rise above. God wants us to thrive and not be hindered by what the scarring has done to our life.
Has God peeled back the scar tissue of your life?
He gets you over the scars and markings and does this through reading His Word.  When you open it and read and pray for help, He is right there!  He replaces the old with fruitfulness. He then allows us to walk past the trauma to the progress.
God often guides us through our circumstances as He opens the way that we should walk. He is a God Who directs us, increasing our speed as we move in sync with His guidance, and many of us can attest to this first-hand.
“Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part you will make me to know wisdom.” (Psalm 51:6)
Whew, God is so good. He opened my blind eyes to see His wisdom because I ask for it daily. (I pray James 1:5)
Don’t abandon God or His fountain of living water. He will show up when you invite Him to work His transformation inside you.  Allow Him to change the way you think. (Romans 12:2)
