Good morning family and friends

Thank you for stopping by my Heartstrings site. I know many of you live in such different climates than we do here in Montana, USA. Here we are experiencing Autumn. My favorite season when the leaves are so bright. Well, not true...I really love every season in its change. It is the sameness over time that can make me weary. 

I am basking in His Love this morning. As I was reading Psalm one again, I could see how much God loved the changing times too. He took such care in creating the seasons of life for us. From the beginning. There has always been a defining picture of His heart for mankind. Yes, from the beginning.

So, what I want to do today is simply remind us all to pause and take the time to consider how blessed we are as we keep focused on God and treasure the things that He delights in. As worship was meant to be from the beginning.

Because of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection we are redeemed back to Father God. The place He intended. From the beginning. We come from a place of darkness and are transformed into the beautiful persons He desired. 

This season I call the beautiful season of dying. Mainly because I have been personally going through loss. Yet, He gives beauty for ashes. It says so in Isaiah 61:3. I am not struggling against His plans now. So, peace covers my heart and mind as long as I stay in His presence, His Word. Filled with His Spirit.

Did you know that Jesus was the Only One who had his story written before it was ever seen? I mean from the beginning, the Old Testament has declared Him. The New Testament is the revealing. I find that so assuring! Don't you?

So, in every season I will give thanks because He has already gone before me and will walk with me and lead me into eternity. He is preparing a new home for me in heaven. Nothing compares. Not even from the beginning. As each season happens on my journey I pray that I will develop the kind of fruit, at just the right time, as He desires.

Psalm 1:3 says, "And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity]."

Psalm 23:1 says, "The LORD is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack."

With the putting on of the armor of God, and wearing a garment of praise my life will not fall apart no matter what the circumstances look like. It doesn't matter how I feel. It matters if I will believe. Belief leads to faith. It begins here at the feet of Jesus. It is where my sins are covered and I am redeemed back to the Father...as in the beginning.

I pray you are all safe and well. That the measure of His Love will continually overflow your life. That you find a deeper longing to know the Lord Jesus. That God's Word will add to you fresh life. Be filled with His Spirit today my friends. You are His treasure. You are loved in the matchless name of Jesus Christ our Lord and soon coming King. Amen.

Abundance is...being prepared to meet Him
