Rest with Him Words of my Heart by a Texas Artist Laurie Pace

REST


Every day we confront the need to make decisions.  Simple decisions as well as life changing ones. 


Every morning take the time before you rise from bed to give this day to the Lord and for all the worries that are piling in your mind, the schedules and the wants... put those at the foot of the cross. 

As an artist I have begun to do visuals with my prayers of what the foot of the cross has beneath it. Broken cups, broken hearts, torn clothing, baby dolls missing an arm, teddy bears without one eye. Each symbolizing something that has caused a fear or worry to manifest itself within.  Put those things at the foot of that cross. 


Affirm your faith in God. Release everything else. The joy is in the release of getting yourself and your controlling thoughts out of the way. God cannot guide you if He is constantly tripping over your baggage. 


We are so blessed. Lean back into Him this day and trust He will take care of you.


Words of my Heart, Laurie

Celebrate the Light, Words of my heart, by A Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Celebrate the Light

There is light even in the darkest of night. There is light in each of us, even in our darkest moments. We are made from God's love and light. It is woven into our very being.  


Thinking of old Testament stories as the Israelites broke their bondage from Egypt, they followed the light into freedom.  The light came through Moses to them from God.


Be aware of the light inside of you... God's light. Your life is unfolding as He wants it to unfold. Even the missteps will lead you somewhere and you need to be certain God is right there beside you. Continue to learn and grow and be open to new thoughts and ideas. Share your light with others and be a blessing this day.


Words of my heart,
Laurie
