HIS LOVE IS AMAZING!

Have you ever had things happen in life that you know is a direct gift from our Heavenly Father? This morning, I was feeling a little down, when a friend sent this email to me. It instantly made me realize how blessed I am to know that Heavenly Father knows me and meets my needs, often through others. Thank you Wendy! This is a devotional from a book called "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young.
There is a mighty battle going on for control of your mind. Heaven and earth intersect in your mind; the tugs of both spheres influence your thinking. I created you with the capacity to experience foretastes of heaven. When you shut out the world and focus on My Presence, you can enjoy sitting with Me in heavenly realms. This is an incredible privilege reserved for precious ones who belong to Me and seek My Face. Your greatest strength is your desire to spend time communing with Me. As you concentrate on Me, My Spirit fills your mind with Life and Peace.
The world exerts a downward pull on your thoughts. Media bombard you with greed, lust, and cynicism. When you face these things, pray for protection and discernment. Stay in continual communication with Me whenever you walk through the wastelands of this world. Refuse to worry, because this form of worldliness will weigh you down and block awareness of My Presence. Stay alert, recognizing the battle being waged against your mind. Look forward to an eternity of strife-free living, reserved for you in heaven.
I wanted to share this since I thought is was so beautiful and comforting. Enjoy!

Thanks for that neat post Nancy. It's always good to be reminded of the really important things in life. It's just keeping them in my head all the time that is the difficult part.
Love, Michelle
