May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13
These words - and the hope within them - were a balm to my soul. I pray they will be for you, too.
Have a wonderful weekend. And please join me on Monday as we begin a week-long Journey with Jesus. I'm looking forward to it!
Love to you,
Thanks for sharing this scripture! It's amazing how many scriptures I've come across lately, all with the theme of trust. Trusting God = peace. That's the bottom line - everything really IS going to be OK!
ReplyDeleteJerri - Yes! The hope, the peace, the joy - they all encouraged me in that verse. But it was the as you trust in him that really grabbed me.
ReplyDeleteBottom line!
One of my all time favorite verses! Love it! Thank you. You too dear friend!
ReplyDeleteHope, Joy, Peace, and the power of the Holy Spirit...
ReplyDeleteWho couldn't use some of that? I'll take some.
Loved the meatloaf cake. I'm a meatloaf lover, so maybe I can make fans of my kids if I did it this way (but then again, it doesn't always go well for me in the kitchen!).
Blessed rest to you this weekend.

As I read this, I felt the tension melt away from my neck & shoulders! Thank you, Karen!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful, peaceful, "Jesus-full" weekend!!

Leslie - I have so many 'favorite' verses! Guess I could just say the whole Bible is my favorite. *grin*
ReplyDeleteElaine - Regarding the meat loaf cake, you can do it! The mashed potatoes are very forgiving. Just make lots of them so you can stick them anywhere that needs a little extra 'help.' LOL
Patricia - I'm picturing Jesus standing behind you, rubbing your shoulders. He's good like that!
This goes along just perfectly with my new paradigm shift in thinking and behavior. Thank and trust. I posted about it on Thankful Thursday- yesterday.
ReplyDeleteLove ya!
Trusting Him sometimes is just plain really scary, but when you remember to let Him fill you like only He can with His Joy and Peace, it is possible.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me to ask for that as I'm trusting Him.
Heidi - Sounds like a very good shift!
ReplyDeleteO Mom - Oh, is He ever talking to me about trust some more! Formulating another post about it in my head. Or a short series? I dunno. We'll see.
Anyway, scary as it may be, I am so glad I can trust HIM!
Shalom - Peace - Can you guess what Name I studied this week? *smile*
ReplyDeleteIt was much needed too.
Thanks so much for your prayers. I just love you my friend. I can't wait for God to open that door for us to meet in person.
Until then...
Shalom
Trusting is SO hard. So thankful we have an eternal hope in Him! Thank you for sharing Karen. Looking forward to your Journey with Jesus week!
ReplyDeleteEdie - I am praying for that door to open!
ReplyDeleteSal - You're welcome. It's good to journey together.
