Hanging on By a Thread…

Jennifred Jones

Don’t cut the thread! Don’t give up on yourself!

“A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth.” *

Even God, Himself won’t cut the thread or give up on you. He is for all of us underdogs. We who have tried and failed and tried and failed, sometimes given up but still trying.

You have worth and value inherently inside you because you were made in the image of God. Don’t believe anyone who tells you there is no value in you, or you have no place or aren’t needed and have nothing to offer. God did not say that about you and his word is tops!

He will never tell you you’ve gone too far, made too many mistakes and are unfixable. He can mend your life. He can mend your family. He can mend your friends. That’s what he does. He just needs your permission.

Tell Him about your thread…

*Isaiah 42:3 NKJV

The Next Great Awakening

Jennifred Jones

I believe the next great awakening is OUR  great awakening!

We, as individuals, are waking up…to re-see ourselves for the potential and content within us, the value we have, the contributions we can make…beginning in our sphere of influence – family, neighborhood, community.

We are starting to get a glimpse – we are more than just a cog in the wheel, a soldier in an army, a person under somebody else’s command who has no mind of their own, but only does what they are told.

We are realizing we do have value to bring to the table. We do have good ideas worth pursuing and sharing; that other people need our ideas to help improve what they are doing.

This is not a prideful way, but a manner of contributing to our world – of which we all are a part.

No, not everyone will agree or see things the way we do, but we still must keep moving forward; thinking the next best thought and striving to develop it.

What glimpses in your life are you getting you hadn’t seen before? What changes would you like to make happen? How could you do things differently?

Let your mind think beyond your current ‘now’, and allow yourself to seriously contemplate a new and different future.
