Happy Mother’s Day!!!💐 God's Masterpiece ~H

Happy Mother’s Day!!!💐

God's Masterpiece
~Herbert Farnham

God took the fragrance of a flower,
The majesty of a tree,
The gentleness of morning dew,
The calm of a quiet sea.

The beauty of the twilight hour,
The soul of a starry night,
The laughter of a rippling brook,
The grace of a bird in flight.

Then God fashioned from these things,
A creation like no other,
And when his masterpiece was through,
He called it simply - Mother.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be trans

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

To pursue the things of God brings renewed peace in chaos. This is why we must Not look to the world, or society to tell us what is right, or what is true.

Look to the word of God, which is the truth we need to live by. Meditating on these truths will strengthen, and renew our minds.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

This verse in Philippians 4:13 is not about our mi

This verse in Philippians 4:13 is not about our might and strength, but about the strength that comes from Jesus. This strength is infused within us through our faith in Him, and ensures us that we are never alone. In our weakness He is strong! Today, remember that God not only goes before us and with us, but He also Lives within.

Live it out!

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.””
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:31‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Grace is the unmerited favor of God toward man. Go

Grace is the unmerited favor of God toward man. God pours His grace over us in all circumstances and at all times. This is why Paul says in Romans 5:20, “where sin increases, grace increases even more.”

It is through grace we learn, grow and live. We gain wisdom by the word of God, and through His Spirit we walk it out, but all of this is because of His Grace. This means that grace is what brings about growth and change, and grace is what covers us when we stumble and fall.

We are in need of God’s Grace and we can never earn it, but yet it abounds and abounds and abounds for ever and ever!

Lean in and live out this life basking in the beautiful Grace of God!

“The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:20‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in abundance to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity.”
‭‭2 CORINTHIANS‬ ‭9:8‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation].”
‭‭EPHESIANS‬ ‭2:8-9‬ ‭AMP‬‬

When a dancer hears the rhythm of music she respon

When a dancer hears the rhythm of music she responds with rhythms that reflect what she hears. Like a dancer moving to the rhythm of music, our faith moves us to the rhythm of the truth. We come to know the truth of God and His word through hearing it. Romans 10:17 says, “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” When we hear the word of God we come to know Him, and through our faith in Jesus we can respond in a manner that will allow us to reflect His truth. ‭‭

Faith is the response of our souls moving toward the truth of God! We hear the word and through faith believe in the truth of Jesus and this leads us to respond. If we respond through faith than our actions will be the authentic reflection of the very Character of God. In order for that reflection to be authentic we must accept the truth in obedient submission and this is how we become authentic Christians with authentic faith.

You see our Faith is meant to be active and through the rhythms of truth we are made in the reflection and image of God.

Let us all respond through faith and move through our lives in tandem with our creator, living as the reflection of truth and love!

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11:1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬-‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Did you know….An oyster that has not been wou

“Did you know….An oyster that has not been wounded in any way does not produce pearls?
A pearl is a healed wound.

Pearls are a product of pain, the result of a foreign or unwanted substance entering the oyster, such as a parasite or a grain of sand.

The inside of an oyster shell is a shiny substance called “nacre.”

When a grain of sand enters, the nacre cells go to work and cover the grain of sand with layers and more layers to protect the defenseless body from the oyster. As a result, a beautiful pearl is formed!

The more pearls, the more valuable…

God never allows pain without a purpose.

What if your greatest ministry to others comes out of your greatest hurt or deepest wounds?
The hard things we may be going through now are really nothing in comparison to the glory that will be revealed in us later. (Romans 8:17-18)”

True belief in Jesus will lead us to changed heart

True belief in Jesus will lead us to changed hearts and changed lives through our surrender and repentance.

Faith is evident in how we live!

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1

“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”
Romans 10:17

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
James 1:22

“So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”
James 2:17

“What good is it, my brothers, if someone says h

“What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”
‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the tru

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“ The Compass Points The Way “

“True North,” a song by Twila Paris, sums up o

“True North,” a song by Twila Paris, sums up our need for Jesus as our guide:

“We lost our bearings,
Following our own mind
We left conviction behind . . .
How did we ever wander so far
And where do we go from here?
How will we know where it is?

“True North
There’s a strong steady light
That is guiding us home . . .

“We need an absolute
Compass now more
Than ever before.”

““See, I have set before you today life and go

““See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭30‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“For this reason I bow my knees before the Fathe

“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬-‭21‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Wake Up and Live!

“But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.””
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of

“Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬
