Fearless not Faithless
 

Now is the time to stand up and move forward with the call that is on your life.  If you could figure it all out, it wouldn't take any faith at all to accomplish it.


When you are facing the biggest breakthrough in your life is when the greatest fear will strike you.  That is a sure indication that the Lord is in it.  God wants you to succeed in everything you do, but especially in the things that He calls you to do.  You have been equipped since birth for this time.  Your destiny in Christ is one that can only be filled by you. 


It's called walking on water.  Now I am the first to admit that is not easy, not a cake walk for sure.  But the excitement of taking that step of faith and seeing the Lord catch you even if you think you are falling and picking you up and whispering, "come on I am here by your side, follow me and you will see how great and wonderful my plans are for you".



If you have walked on the road that had a few left turns along the way and you chose to take one or two, just know that the Lord has never loved you more and will never love you less based on what you do.  His desire is that you walk in the fullest and the freest way possible and that is walking with Him. 
 

Be the encourager for those you know who are on that left turn right now, and truly want to come back but may feel that they have disappointed the Lord.  Encourage them, let them know the Lord truly loves them and is not mad at them.    Your strength right now is an encouragement to those who are at a weaker point.

Those who sit and wait for the waters to be stirred and for someone, not the Lord, to tell them the easy way, they will still be sitting at the end of their road and never accomplish the great things that the Lord had for them to do.


This is the generation that will make a difference.  Such a time as this is the greatest time of all, it is your time.




G2 is here to encourage you and pray for you, but you have to be the one to make the decision to trust the Lord, stop trying to figure everything out, and walk on the water.

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding..In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.  Proverbs 3:4-5  (amp)

G2 is here to pray for you and encourage you, when you need someone to talk to the Lord is always listening.

Anxious
 
Webster say anxious means:  having or showing anxiety; uneasy in mind; apprehensive, worried.
Hmmm...
 
 
I am sure we've all had our moments of anxiety, but....we need to get a grip and figure out why and take control. 
 
I spent a whole night thinking about something that I couldn't figure out, so I was indeed anxious.  Results, the next day I was tired and didn't get a creative or productive thing done.  Now, who won that battle.  Did the Lord make me anxious, was the answer to my dilemma something that the Lord couldn't figure out?  I don't think so!!
 
Choice was mine, it's called "self control", and oh how we don't like that one, we want to get up tight, worry, be anxious..sometimes it just makes us "feel better".  Wrong, it actually steals the one thing we can't get back, our precious time.
 
Well, the next day when I got up and had my energy back, actually two days later, I began to ask the Lord to show me what the deal was.  And guess what....He Did!  Amazing how the Lord is always there to help us, it's just a matter of asking.  You know, humble yourself in the sight of the Lord.  After He began to show me how to process the issue and get to the bottom of it...the issue was solved. 
 
So, my encouragement to you today, is before you lose sleep over anything, and I mean anything, ask the Lord to help you with the solution.  He is always there waiting for you to ask.  We ask, He hears and He responds. 
 
Make it a good day, don't be anxious over things, cast all those cares and just enjoy each day.  You'll never get today back...it's a gift from God to you.  Make each day productive by giving it to the Lord when you get up.
 
 
Humble yourselves therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you..casting all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you.  I Peter 5:6-7 (esv)

I'm Grateful

Today was a day to reflect on the goodness of the Lord.  Yes, we are living in a world that does have many troubles, but I chose today to look at the goodness of the Lord and I received many blessings. 

First, I was able to get up, freely go where I wanted without being worried that I would be stopped and questioned as some are in other countries.  I was able to have coffee with a precious group of ladies who love the Lord and together we shared the love of the Lord  and read our devotion in the open together. 

Then on the internet I saw where a precious man of God in Iran was set free against all odds, But God!  I sent a letter to a young man serving in the Marines, and holding bible studies on his ship.  He asked for prayer for some of his shipmates who were discouraged....we can do that with a grateful and loving heart.  They are doing what few have chosen to do, without any complaints, just asking for prayer and encouragement.  Remember them in your prayers...that is the least we can do. 

So  never count out the power and love of our Lord.  The impossible with others is NOT impossible with our God.  It is a matter of constant prayer; desire to please Him not for your gain, but just because He is an awesome and loving God who is always with us and always watches over us.  That in itself may make some of you stop and think about what you do when you think no one is watching....Jesus is always watching.  Not to condemn but just because He loves you.  So be grateful, that you are loved so much that nothing you do will make Jesus love you anymore, or any less. 

I will go to bed grateful and in the morning as the sun rises I will choose whether I am going to be grateful or not.  What will it be for you?

 
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
I Thessalonians 5:18 (ESV)
 
Enjoy life, it's a free gift...eternal life is also free, but it's a decision you personally must make.     John 3:16

Moving forward from Summer into Fall
Major decisions, new friends, different environment, all moving us forward, even sometimes when we are resist.

Choose wise counsel when you make the major decisions, God first, then someone special in your life who you respect and who respects you. Seems easy, and for some decisions it is, but for the major, life-changing ones, be cautious who you share your heart with.  And in the same way, if someone trusts you to share their heart and asks your advise, understand that this is an honor, not just a random request. Pray and if you don't feel you are the one to help them, tell them so.  Sometimes the answers are not easy and an older person, like family, school counselor or someone from your church, may be the best one to refer them to.

You will show me the way of life,
    granting me the joy of your presence
    and the pleasures of living with you forever.
Psalm 16:11 (NLT)
 
New friends are fun, but it takes the test of time to see if they are truly the kind of friends that you can bless and who can bless you.  Just guard your heart, share kindness, but take these relationships slow.  Remember, don't compromise your integrity, your standards or your heart for anyone.  Then all is fair and the adventure is OK.

Be the one who other people want to befriend.  Let your light shine, smile, don't complain, start your day with prayer.  Let joy be your strength and remember God is right by your side. 

Enjoy the season...God has a plan just for you....ask and He will guide your every step.
 
23
Come and listen to my counsel.
I’ll share my heart with you
and make you wise.
Proverbs 1:23 (NLT)

Sound like I hear celebration coming!

For many it's time to take a vacation, get away for a few days and enjoy family and friends.  For others it may be a time of not knowing what to do.  As an American we celebrate the Independence of our Nation.  Maybe some of us don't know what independence really stands for.  It's easy to take for granted the things we have always had.  But for many in far off lands, this is not the case.

Today as we look forward to the 4th of July, I encourage you who are grateful for your independence in this "land of the free and home of the brave", to celebrate and encourage those around you to do the same.

If you know what redemption means, you always have something to celebrate. 

So live, laugh, rejoice and become contageous to those around you.  Especially the younger generation....let them know what we stand for as a nation and what you stand for as a Christian. 

Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
Philippians 4:4 (KJV)
