Good day to you family and friends

With Heartstrings I send encouragement in keeping with God's Love Letter, the Bible. If He didn't care intimately about our hearts, He wouldn't have sent His Only Son to bear our sins on the cross. He holds the power to lift us out of death and bring us unbound into His glorious plans. The question remains...will I lay it down? 

You may ask what does 'it' mean? My answer, anything that brings weight; heaviness on my heart, mind, soul, or spirit. Now, you have your answer don't you? It didn't take long and maybe your list is still growing. Quick turn it to Jesus! He can handle it for you.

There have been times when I do lay 'it' down but never let go completely. That is the hard part. Here are some examples. How about bitterness? Self-pity? Anxious fear? Pride? There are more, as you know. Make it personal.

So, lay down your heart. Lay down your hurt. When you lift up your face to the Lord then, you will see a smile and love that lifts you up. Strengthened! With a feeling that you have wings to fly above the shadows along the path you have been on. 

I want joy and to renew my covenant with You, LORD! So, I set all my sorrows and disappointments, all my fear and discontent before Your feet. Help me to rise above my enemies. I know they will continue to lurk around the next corner. That is why I choose today to hold Your hand and trust You. What comes next? I only know You are enough for me. I lay it all down and praise Your matchless name, amen.

Move forward now in fresh life and freedom! Ask the Holy Spirit to fill and anoint you with fresh oil from the throne of God's grace. Ask Him to search your heart and renew your mind. That your thoughts would be agreeable to His will. Bearing much fruit! It's not like trying to purchase from a catalog, a plant that is out of stock until further notice. Thank the LORD! As the Holy Spirit moves into your heart, as Jesus promised, your fruitful season begins and keeps on growing as you find nourishment in the presence of the LORD.

Well, I did not share the scriptures today that caused to be moved to share this. The walk is personal for each of us. The witness is found in the walking not the talking. Spend time at the feet of Jesus today and let Him be your matchless friend. In His name I say, amen."

Abundance is...no more burdened
