Get A Grip!

This is just a little poem I wrote to encourage you this holiday season.

With Jesus as our Shepherd, we have all that we need with nothing missing or nothing lacking!

Therapy is a bad word to some and a lifesaver for others. Today we will explore therapy in a new way using the word as an acronym. Tune in to learn more!

Help is an acronym for Heal every low place! In life, we have lows and we have highs. It's in those low places that we need to receive help from Jesus to persevere through to the other side. Jesus is all the help we need to heal every low place.

Sometimes you have to decide to turn a negative word into a positive one. Look at the glass as half full instead of half empty.

There is power in being real. Be real with yourself, be real with others, and most importantly be real with God! God already knows your innermost thoughts and feelings, so why not just be real!

My guest, Cindy White has suffered several losses within a two-year time span, yet she stands strong in her faith and trust in God through it all. She is a testament to the grace and faithfulness of a loving God who chose her for such a time as this to bring encouragement and inspiration to those who are on their grief journey.

After a short break, we are back to inspire and encourage those of you who are grieving the loss of a precious love one!

Today is not a Merry day for those who have just recently lost a loved one, but there is always hope for a better tomorrow.

There is nothing that we can't arise from with God on our side!

Where does your hope lie during times of grief, especially during the holidays? Let's talk about the God of HOPE!

Who is Jesus to you? Do you need Him to be a healer today? Do you need Him to be a provider? He is ___________

What is your relationship with God like? Is it hot, lukewarm, or is it cold? Let's talk about it!

Have you ever noticed that it's in the stillness of the night when your mind begins to reminisce about everything that transpired during the day? The hustle and bustle of the day is over and you're in bed and everything is quiet and perhaps you're in disbelief because of all that you went through. Be encouraged my brothers and sisters and remember to "Be Still and Know that HE is GOD!"

When the disciples had toiled all night and caught nothing, Jesus told them to cast their net on the right side of the boat and their net became so full that it began to break! Whatever your net is empty of today, why don't you cast it at the feet of Jesus and watch him fill it to overflow!

God will do what He said He would do! "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" Numbers 23:19 (NKJV)

When we keep our hope in the God of hope, no matter what we face in life, we can say, "It is well, it is well with my soul!

God is Righteous, Everlasting, Almighty, and God is Love! We serve a REAL God who sees us, knows us, hears us and what concerns us, concerns Him!

There's no greater peace in this world than the peace of Jesus! No amount of wishing or anything that the world offers can bring real peace. Shalom!

Do not be discouraged my brothers and sisters when you are going through a difficult time because there is HOPE in GOD!

May the God of all hope restore your joy, peace, and comfort today in every area of your life! You are not alone! The Restorer is here!

Storms come into our lives and can uproot attributes of our character that we didn't know existed. It washes to the surface strengths as well as weaknesses in certain areas of our lives.

What kind of help are you in need of today? No matter what it is, know that there is a present help in the time of trouble!

Let's talk about how we must choose to rejoice in the midst of difficult situations in our lives.

Hope is a beautiful thing to have! When you lose hope, you lose your joy and your peace. Nothing good can come from hopelessness, so hold on to your hope no matter what happens to you or around you. Don't lay aside your hope in difficult times. Hope deferred makes the heart sick and you don't want that. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/georgette-jackson/support

Be Thankful to God in all circumstances! The word admonishes us to do so and may we all be obedient to His word. God loves to hear us giving praises of thanksgiving to Him. How could we not be thankful for all that He has done and will do for us? Let's discuss how we can show our thanks to such a loving Father. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/georgette-jackson/support

Sometimes we get so focused on tomorrow that we forget to enjoy today. The Bible tells us not to worry about tomorrow; one it's not promised to us and two, tomorrow will take care of itself. So, let's just take it one day at a time because we can't step into tomorrow or step back into the past. Let's enjoy each day as it comes; One Day At A Time! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/georgette-jackson/support

There are nine fruit of the Spirit and "Kindness" is the fifth one. We have all nine of the fruit within us, but we must choose to display them in our every day lives. We don't need to pray for them or pray for more of them; we only need to use what we've already been given. Why should the Holy Spirit give us more of what we're not using? Got Fruit?

If we can believe in a God that we can't see to save us, then we can believe that the same God will do what he says he will do and therefore we can wait with patience.
