Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

When those around you need encouragement, take the time and make the effort to lift them up and make sure they know that you care. Sometimes it only takes a kind word to make a difference. It will cost you nothing, but could mean everything to someone you encounter. 

Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, we should also be conformed to the Spirit.

I have made you to be a Hupernikos – an overwhelming conqueror, the highest victor! You are a “highlander” not a “lowlander”. You rise above, FAR ABOVE your circumstances. You are as a doe in the high places! Remember you are a Hupernikos today!

Psalm 18:33 “He makes my feet like hinds’ feet [able to stand firmly or make progress on the dangerous heights of testing and trouble]; He sets me securely upon my high places.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

October 11, 2024. The Lord showed me a playground full of children. They were so happy. He said, “It’s time to laugh again. Sorrow and sadness no longer belong to you. It’s time to live again. I’m placing joy back into your life. Joy that is overflowing, laughter like you’ve never experienced before. It’s time to think like a child and let laughter flow out of you. Begin to giggle, and then just allow joy to overtake you.”

Romans 15:13 “May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your belief] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.” Pam Jackson
