God’s Healing You

Jennifred Jones

We all need to be healed…healed of something – physical or otherwise.

God often heals us while we’re asleep…sleeping. We don’t realize or know He’s doing the work at the time, but so often that’s how it happens.

When my kids were growing up and got sick, I’d put them to bed and pray they would have a nice healing sleep. That has been many years ago. Recently, I was praying for one of them -all grown up now (unbeknownst to them); I’d prayed as I went to bed and the next morning the whole prayer came to mind again. I remembered them and remembered God, and a peace came over me that God was healing them (unbeknownst to them – they didn’t know Mom had prayed for them). Yes God, who made them would heal them too and He would heal them as they slept.

I guess you could say that’s how God sometimes operates on us to make us better.

It comforted me.

Have you experienced this?

I’m Tired!

Jennifred Jones

I’m tired! I’ve had it!! Enough is enough!!!

The realization hit me. Why keep going around and around in the same old circle over and over, doing the things, following the same mental practice leading to the same results?

Why???

Things can be different. They can be better. There could be a better outcome.

The results don’t always have to be the same.

I will begin again… new thoughts, new ideas, new hopes, new dreams with…new results!

It’s really that simple – yet hard. Change the old thinking with new thinking.

The easy part is no physical effort involved.

The hard part – changing your mind.

But it’s time for a change of scenery.

Let’s go!

Encourage Yourself!

Jennifred Jones

Yesterday I talked about encouraging others. Today I’m talking about you encouraging you!

Yes, we can and many times will have to encourage ourselves. There will be times you have to stand alone. Others will not be there for you. They will not see what you see. They will not have your vision, your principles or motivation. You will have to hold the line by yourself. Take courage! This will build fortitude (another word for strength) so you can go further, become stronger, last longer, endure more – (that doesn’t sound fun, it sounds like hardship involved!!!)

We’ll have to chew our own meat – no ground up baby food involved. But I’ve heard it said meat is for the strong. No carnivore diet spoken of intentionally here, but meat makes strong muscles and we’ll need them to weather our storms, mental, emotional, spiritual and physical.

So, you had the idea to build the first lighthouse at sea alerting ships to steer clear and not get dashed to pieces in the dark. ‘How are you going to do that’, somebody said. ‘You can’t, the surf is too strong, water too deep, tide comes in, you’ll get washed out’… and on and on.

Yet! Somebody kept at it. They planned and planned and thought and thought and tried and finally the first successful one was built and saved many lives. ‘I could never do that!’ Maybe not your area of expertise, but there is something that you and you alone can and need to do. You – yes you – plan and think and try things out until you succeed. Begin to encourage yourself more!

Now back to the lighthouse. No one built it completely by themselves, but there had to be an idea, maybe guarded at first until it could develop and ‘build up steam’, and then others became involved. It began with them.

Today I am not giving up on my plan, thought, dream to ….
