Encouragement

What is stopping you from experiencing joy?

James 1:2-3 says

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”

James 1:2-3 NIV

If you keep reading he says:

“Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

James 1:4 NIV

Last week the Lord encouraged us in our “hard thing”. This week He is changing our perspective. This week we will know and accept that we are maturing, we are growing, we are being made whole.

So what is this thing? This mountain? This hardship? This depression? This difficulty?

This thing has come to help you GROW UP! If we keep trying to go around it we won’t get what need. Go through it.

If we try to ignore it we won’t know how to conquer it when it tries to surprise us again. If we keep accepting it as normal we won’t experience the fullness of God, because we are convinced He left us in the middle of it.

Reader, count it all joy.

Reader, consider it pure joy.

Reader, open your mouth and sing a joyful song unto the Lord, because He saw fit to make sure you are made complete- lacking nothing.

Hallelujah!

Talk to you later.

Goodnight,

Danielle 💕

There might be obstacles bigger than you imagined, but you’re equipped to handle it. You might feel smaller...

You are Blessed!

Danielle Isaac Encouragement You will be blessed in what you do. (James 1:25) “But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.” James 1:25 NIV Look for the blessings as you walk in obedience.

Where's your focus?

Danielle Isaac Encouragment Sometimes we can focus solely on the bad in a situation that we do not consider what good could come from it. Or if we do consider the good it’s based on limited thinking and limited beliefs. Why? Why is it so hard to see good? As I sat with this I realized I needed clarity on a few things: What is your prayer concerning this “bad/hard” thing ? Is it for the good of others and the glory of God? What does God say about this "bad/hard" thing ? Have you stuck a...
