Tag: Valentine’s Day

It’s all in the timing of the Divine {The Joseph Series}

We’ve all waited for something. From our toast to pop in the morning to the deepest dreams in our heart. My encouragement for you in the wait: God’s not being slow; He hasn’t forgotten you!

The Love Revelation

God ignores our perceptions of our worth and value to Him, and instead robes us with majesty, blessing and LOVE in abundance!

SALT & GRACE…

Welcome to a space brimming with God-thoughts and the Word, purposed to encourage you on your God-walk.

If you follow God, or find yourself a little curious about this God-way-of-life, I invite you to tune in to Salt & Grace.

My prayer is that you’ll be encouraged!

🌱 NEW SALT AND GRACE BLOG 🌱 It can be easy to have a lot of questions about God, especially in the days that we are living in. In this Salt & Grace blog we’re encouraged to start with the answer to this question: Who does God say that He is? When we examine the bible to see who God says that He is, we can be encouraged with the answers: ‘I am your shield’, ‘I am the good Shepard,’ ‘I am the way the truth and the life,’ ‘I am the alpha and the omega.’ And one more for good measure in dark days: ‘I AM WITH YOU’ (Matthew 28:20). By focusing on Who God days that He is, we learn more about His nature, and when we know this, we can take comfort in the truth that we are in safe hands.

✨ NEW SALT & GRACE BLOG ✨ 🙋🏼‍♀️ if you’ve found yourself in a stormy season. Perhaps you’re in one right now. Uncomfortable aren’t they? Faith is stretched, trust is tried and some days the weight of it all feels like it may just break you. I’m writing from the thick of one of these storms. And writing from present experience, it can be hard to keep your head up and your faith in action when your lifeboat is being thrown about by relentless waves. But I did something recently that seemed to ease the intensity of the storm – I sat down to write out all the things I know to be true about God in life’s storms. That’s the supernaturally wonderful thing about God: He doesn’t change, even when our circumstances do. Over the next few days, I’m going to share a three-part blog series called, THINGS I KNOW TO BE TRUE IN THE STORM. Reminding myself of these truths brought incredible comfort and my prayer is that they bring the same for you. Link to Part 1 is in the bio now. Part 2 lands tomorrow. #saltandgrace . . . . . #god #godslove #godloveneverfails #godisgood #jesuschrist #jesus #jesusloves #holyspirit #biblejournaling #bibleverse #bible #biblestudy #biblequotes #verseoftheday #lovequotes #christ #love #christian #writer #writerscommunity #write #writing

He isn’t on a cross. He isn’t in a tomb. HE IS RISEN! • “Early on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb while it was still dark and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.” {John 20:1} • As I read this chapter on the morning of Easter Sunday this truth stood out to me: by the time Mary got to the tomb it was already empty; Jesus had already risen; death was defeated and the victory had been won. That is how it is whenever we come to Jesus: the tomb is always empty and the victory is final. It doesn’t matter what you may be facing or what lay up ahead, Jesus is victorious now and forever and when we come to Him we come to a finished work; a victory. So let’s walk confidently in it! #saltandgrace - - - - - #heisrisen #easter #god #godsaves #jesuschrist #jesus #jesusculture #holy #holyspirit #bible #bibleverse #biblestudy #bibleverses #verseoftheday #risen #victory

Whether you are flying solo or have found your forever person, this statement is true! This language comes straight out of the latest blog {link in bio} and is very near and dear to me. As a single person, I often say that 95% of the time I'm completely comfortable in my singleness. In fact, I think it is a season that ought to be valued and celebrated more in society, rather than something that is seen as a 'waiting room' to something more. God has real and effectual kingdom purposes and plans for single people! That said, I'll admit there are moments where singleness can feel a lot like loneliness. I was having one of these moments last year as I sat on a plane waiting for take-off. I saw this cute couple snuggled together in their seats and I felt that little pang in my heart. That's when God spoke this straight to me - "I know your heart. I know it well." This gentle whisper from the Father that loves me more than anyone ever could reminded me that He knows my heart and its desires and His love for me is the Greatest love I'll ever know! I get to spend a lifetime exploring its depths, being forever amazed at its measure and resting in the knowledge that it is completely unfathomable. God and love are one. God is love. Love is God. They can't be separated because they are one in the same. To know God is to know love. So I choose to make that my mission: to seek to know Him more and more everyday for the rest of my life. And to know that His love is the greatest, strongest, most pure, perfect, unconditional and sacrificial love I'll ever know. Irrespective of your relationship status this Valentine's Day, my encouragement for you is this - the GREATEST love you could ever experience is freely available to you right where you are, right now ♥️ #saltandgrace . . . . . . #god #godsplan #godslove #godstiming #jesuschrist #jesus #jesuscalling #jesuslovesyou #jesuslovesme #godslove #godsloveneverfails #holyspirit #biblejournaling #bibleverse #biblequotes #biblestudy #verseoftheday #verse #love #lovequotes #valentinesday2019

SALT & GRACE BLOG 16 💖 ~ I recently came across a song that referred to the gospel as "the simple gospel." At first, I'll admit, that language didn't sit well with me. It felt like a gross over-simplification! At the same time God was taking me on this wild ride through 1 John 3 and 4, teaching me about the nature of His great love and how it operates in and through us. That's when it clicked - the gospel is, at its core, simple. God wants the world to know His great love for them. And you and I have a critical part to play. That is why God tells us to love one another. He makes this possible for us to do by taking up residence in our hearts when we confess Him as our Lord. But here's the really fun part - God is love (read the blog for loads of scriptural proof); so when God takes up residence in our hearts, so too does love. God, the original, purest, most powerful and potent source of love, lives in us! In this new blog {link in bio} I expand on this thought, how we access this great source of love that is living in us and what it has to do with God's master love plan for the earth. My favourite line in this latest blog is this: "...the original source of love is living in you. When you tap into God and His love, you’ll never run dry...Then we can get on with God’s business of loving this world to Him!" But you'll have to read to the end to find it 🙈 Be encouraged friend! God's great love lives in you and that truly is everything you need! 🔥 #saltandgrace . . . . . . #god #godslove #godsloveneverfails #godisgood #jesuschrist #jesus #jesusloves #holyspirit #biblejournaling #bibleverse #bible #biblestudy #biblequotes #verseoftheday #lovequotes #love #christ #christian #writer #writerscommunity #write #writing

PREVIEW: SALT & GRACE BLOG 15 🔥 ~ This week on Salt & Grace we're taking a deep dive into God's LOVE. The fact that we're rounding the corner to Valentine's Day is purely coincidental 🙈 I love every revelation that God gives me, but I especially love it when He reveals more about the nature of His love. This time around God has taken me on a wild ride through the bible to dig all the way to love's point of origin and what this means for us when it comes to living out that all important commandment from God to love people. Here's a sneak peak of 'The Original'... ~ "God is love. When we confess Jesus as the Son of God, God takes up residence in our hearts (1 John 14:15-16). Therefore, we have the purest, strongest, richest and most abundant source of love living directly within us. Its measure is infinite. This means that if you feel like you are running low on love or loving others is proving too hard, you’re tapping into the wrong love source. Your tapping into your filtered, washed down, diluted version of love. And that, my friend, is finite! It means you are trying to fulfil the command of God our of your own strength and supply and trust me, that has it limits. You’ll reach the bottom of that barrel quickly. BUT there is an original source of love living in you. When you tap into God and His love, you’ll never run dry!" ~ Full blog lands this week. #saltandgrace . . . . . #god #godisgood #godsplan #love #jesus #jesuschrist #jesusculture #holyspirit #holy #encouragement #bible #bibleverse #biblejournaling #biblestudy #verseoftheday #christianity #writing #writingcommunity #writers #lovequotes #godslove #godsloveneverfails
