Listen... God Speaks Hope! : A Collection of Divine Thoughts and Prayers for Life's Journey

Have you ever had a time when you needed to hear a word of encouragement from a loved one or a friend? Perhaps there have been times when just a few words from someone of trust would give you that extra push you needed to forge ahead in spite of your circumstances. Family and friends may sincerely love us, but there is no love like the love of God. People will not always be available, but the presence of God is never-ending. He will speak to your spirit at the most unexpected times. Many of these messages spoke comfort to my heart more than twenty-five years ago when I was enduring great struggles and trudging through challenging times. There are other messages that gave me divine direction during more current situations. During the seasons when I took on caring for elderly family members, God spoke strength to my weariness. When finances were challenged, God spoke peace to my soul. In times of fear and when doubts plagued my own God-given abilities, God spoke courage to my heart. When I felt lost, confused, disappointed, at an energy deficit, or just desperately needed to smile, God provided the words of assurance and hope that helped me to press onward. The power, grace, and love of God spoken in His words of hope are timeless! I am so grateful for His patience with me because I am finally heeding the call to share these messages with you. It is my prayer that you will also find hope, healing, and great grace in these words from God. Let Him speak to you! Pass a message on to someone longing to be blessed! Allow God to encourage you! Let Him put a smile on your face! Trust Him to guide you! I promise you, He will carry you through every situation! Listen...God has Messages of Hope!

Hidden Treasures I

There is a lesson, a treasure, a jewel, and an opportunity for growth in everything we go through. Even in the bad things that happens to us, there are what I call "jewels" or "hidden treasures." Yes, in the most horrible experiences in life, hidden treasures! But who can find them? How do we discover them when all we can see is the hurt and pain of the trials and tribulations we have faced? By reminding ourselves that we are the apple of God's eyes and everything that was meant to harm us, God will turn it around for our good. He will give us "the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that we may know that the Lord, called us by name!" We are a marvelous work, a holy people, set apart, predestined, made in the image of, created by, loved by God. But oftentimes, that is not how we view ourselves! We have spent too many years wandering in the wilderness of shame, defeat, heartache, and pain. It is time to come out and unearth all the treasures that the enemy has stolen from you.
