Welcome to Heartstrings family and friends

You know the day you wake groggy and feeling old? That is the best time to give thanks for another day. Why? Because God deserves our worship!

Having trouble finding something to wear? Something to boost your spirits, without shopping? Yes, I know many who follow Heartstrings are from other countries and are just thankful to have the clothes on your back. I am talking to the many in America, especially, who have more than enough and still want more. I think I am becoming more aware of what is important and what is not. Here is where I am finding that putting on a garment of praise is the best I can wear: it gives the most comfort and is a beautiful garment to have on. It lifts the heaviness that worldly clothes cannot supply.

I know coffee will only temporarily energize. Or, any number of stimulants available. Doesn't it seem more and more how the things that we want to last just don't? Clothing fades, colors aren't as vivid, time moves too fast for all our projects to get done and there is nothing that satisfies the soul. Nothing but being in the presence of Jesus, God's precious Son and my Redeemer.

I know one sure thing. I had better run to the Shepherd for real rest and joy. The best place I know is found in my old Bible. The pages are a bit worn too. But, I draw life from Gods Love Letter. I find the strength I need for the steps I must take...and still His Love attends me continually.

This morning I read Psalm 102 and found, not surprisingly in verses 25-27..."At the beginning You existed and laid the foundations of the earth; the heavens are the work of Your hands. They shall perish, but You shall remain and endure; yes, all of them shall wear out and become like an old garment. Like clothing You shall change them, and they shall be changed and pass away. But You remain the same, and Your years shall have no end."

Something to think about isn't it? If ever a time, like the ones we are living in, don't we long for eternity? For changed bodies? To see the beauty of Jesus face as He looks with love into our eyes? What a glorious day that will be!

If you have found these things to be true then, call on the Lord and be saved. Your eye will be opened to the wonders of His love every day. Focus will be changed and strength of spirit restored for the journey. Let Him be the One you trust. Holy Spirit will help you separate the precious from the worthless. The Lord bless you and keep you.

Abundance is...in the care of The Shepherd
