Everything we do is in the context of some kind of relationship.
If our relationships with these 3 are healthy, we are happy, if they are not... we are not.
It's that simple... and it's that difficult.
May we be true in our relationships... love well... and enjoy the life that God's given us!
Remember who I am… and what I value…
This is how you prosper and succeed,
even if it seems like you are not.
In Me all things are made new.
Don’t focus on what you want to be different.
Focus on Me as the miracle-working God who saves and redeems all who call upon Me.
…if you demand your way,
if you fight for your cause,
you can likely lose what you really, really want in the situation.
Release My connection and goodness in it and see what I will do…
Worship is the key to alignment.
You will always be aligned when you are lifting Me and My Kingdom ways up.

He will become immeasurable,
and that in you He will become laughter,
exaltation,
the fullness of joy
which no one will take from you."

I felt like God wants us to know that when He resonates in, and through, something, it changes. It aligns to it's created purpose. Resonate: The quality or state of resounding... echoing... reverberating... aligning frequency... and vibration...So my prayer has become, "LORD, resonate... resound... reverberate through my life.
Ever since I heard of Bob Jones’ passing into heaven I have been reminded of a God-encounter that he shared where the LORD asked each person the same pointed question: “Did you learn to love?” This has struck me and has become a marker for my life. How different would our lives be if we consciously answered this question in the midst of every interaction?

Nothing will be taken or stolen as you seek Me
and incline you ear/heart/face to My face.
