never give up

These are notes from Joyce Meyer's series
Praise is a spiritual weapon! Remember other victories and praise Him!
We don't have to see answers, just know that God has one! Do you like to surprise your kids with fun things? So does God!
Helping Others is a weapon: Be a blessing...don't withdrawl and nurse your wounds.
Word of God is a weapon

We may need to pass some tests before we get promoted.

fruitful garden

I read this in a weekly email devotion from James Robison and thought about the fruit post I made the other day...

"You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” Have you ever seen a well-watered garden that didn’t produce fruit? Has an eternal spring ever left anyone thirsty? What an amazing promise! In the garden of God there is joy, satisfaction, bounty and life. This is what God wants for you; He wants to meet your needs so that you can help meet the needs of others. The world is hungry, both spiritually and physically, but we can extend this invitation to them when we experience it ourselves: Come and dine at His table and begin to live as His fruitful garden.
Isaiah 58:11
