Hello Heartstrings family

There is little time for fluffy words. Only the True Word of God is what stands the tests of time. One after another family members are leaving this earth. Suddenly it makes the reality of how tender life is a reason for me to pause and enter into silence.

I have spent time trying to satisfy my pain. Both emotional and physical. With the same fiction that I used to be drawn to. The war with Israel is real. Not a game. The loss of one family member or friend is real. Not a game. All of my idols are crumbling at my feet. The things and the plans I trusted are in a pile of broken pieces. Who can deliver me?

If you are asking the same questions, then come away with the Lord. Into His presence. There will be rejoicing even in the midst of tears. Sorrow and sadness, yes, but assurance that Gods Love is abounding and rich in mercy and grace. Trust the Lord with your heart today.

Find a quiet place to open your Bible and read Gods Love Letter. You won't be disappointed, I promise!

Psalm 43:5 has really come alive to me. "Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my [sad] coutenance, and my God."

You know king David? When his son was dying he mourned and grieved intensely. When his son was dead, king David got up, washed and put on clean clothes and went on rejoicing. The people around him didn't understand why the sudden change. David knew the secret.

Do you? Will you cling to Jesus my friend? With all that has come upon you do not forget God. So important! Do not run to your idols. Get rid of them and turn any and all over to the Lord. 

I am finding I really can do without them! In fact, what once soothed my soul turns out to be the deceivers tools. There is such freedom in following hard after God!

Finally, from Psalm 42:8 I will close with this..."Yet the Lord will command His loving-kindness in the day time, and in the night His song shall be with me, a prayer to the God of my life." 

May the peace of God and the fellowship of His presence be with you now and for always. In the matchless name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Abundance is...now and for always
