A Time for Everything.
There is a time for everything,
And a season for every activity under the heavens:
A time to be born and a time to die,
A time to plant and a time to uproot,
A time to kill and a time to heal,
A time to tear down and a time to build,
A time to weep and a time to laugh,
A time to mourn and a time to dance,
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
A time to search and a time to give up,
A time to keep and a time to throw away,
A time to tear and a time to mend,
A time to be silent and a time to speak,
A time to love and a time to hate,
A time for war and a time for peace.
What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him. Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account. And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment—wickedness was there, in the place of justice—wickedness was there. I said to myself, “God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.” I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?” So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?

I just know I have been honest with my love to them. I believe for renewal in my relationships. My church family I pray for them for they have been a blessing to me.

I thank You and praise You for encouragement, laughter and Your blessings of overflowing in all lives today. Some connections are fragile and tenuous. I am believing healing of hearts, relationships and what is broken I know God, You, will fix it as I place it in Your hand and leave it there, because I know the gossipers won’t take it from You. I also pray for them that they will realize their words and turn back in their own choice of shame and blame so they will know Your true love and share it in Your Precious Name Jesus Amen.
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law.

No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands. Hey, will not labor in vain, nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the Lord, they and their descendants with them. Before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear. Isaiah 65:22-24

Help me Father God, to live every day in prayer whereas it is a precious gift that You have given to me. I believe I will pray with an attitude of helpless dependence upon You. May I be faithful and comprehend all needs in all kinds of prayer and supplication. Bless those I come in contact with. I will put on the full armor every day I awake and resist all the deeds of the devil. I will walk and be clothed in Jesus’ righteousness. Keep my helmet on to keep stinking thinking away from me. Help me to resist evil powers, principalities and stand fast with You in all things, Father God. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Ephesians 6:10-15
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning.

I thank You, Lord, that You care so much for me that I can cast all my burdens on You and give You all the hang-up’s, hurts, disappointments, and worries, that seem to be flooding my soul today. I thank You that I have Your word and promises that never fail me. I am weak by myself but with Your strength I can give up every anxiety to You and let it go in Your hands. Assist and protect me to understand the reasons for Your chastening in Your Precious Name Jesus Amen.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:6-8 NIV
