Hello dear readers of FGGAM!
I sure hope all is well with you; as it is with me, in Christ, all is well!  Today, I believe the Spirit of the Lord led me to share Spring Blooms with you!  Yesterday was rainy and cold with many opportunities to bless the Lord.
Like a river flows, our plans did too.  I hope and believe we honored God in all that we did yesterday, but Today is the day of focus.  God has been growing me in a area of revealing not so much how bad my way of thinking is sometimes, but that God is so kind and good to me that He is growing me in an area of retraining my brain to think of how much better my way of thinking can be in Christ Jesus, my personal Savior and Lord!
As when I took both of the pictures featured on these below Tues / Wed Devotions, God have me rest in my heart and mind, that revived me in such a way that took away all my burdens and cares that I had battled thru that day.  Friends, sometimes, if we can’t seem to get around the struggle, God will lead us thru the struggle.   And this requires faith.
It is a blessing to be watched over by God!  Today, if you read this, I hope you know how wonderfully blessed you are that God loves you enough to lead us here … to encourage each other daily.  You can see that, but there is a love that God gave for you & me that is extraordinary:
The Sacrifice of His Son, Jesus.
As you read this today, did Jesus love us this much?  Or, did Jesus love The Father that much?
I hope this is a blessing of like Spring Blooms to you:  Love, Joy, Peace, Patience in your heart, Gentleness, Kindness, Self-Control, Goodness, Faithfulness.  These are the Fruit of the Spirit.
Love from the Father and in Christ we will be praying for you and your surroundings.  It’s just a blessing to be watched over by God.
Love in Christ,
Karen

Hope in Today Ministries, Tuesday’s Devotion to God’s Word

what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.

Great EXAMPLES of FAITH !

FAITH SHOWS the REALITY of what we HOPE for; IT IS the EVIDENCE of things we CANNOT see (NLT).

Can you think of something you are PRACTICING FAITH toward something that you are HOPING for ?

Can you recall something you Praise God for that you have seen come to pass?

Friends, faith praises God even in the midst & before we see!

Take a minute to pause and really explore your mind & your heart. When is the last time you heard God speak to you? When is the last time you repented of anything? It takes faith to act on The Voice of God & it takes faith stand strong on God’s WORD.

Faith activates the life in the seed … keep your seed in good soil of encouragement to grow in your faith!

If you had a corn seed, it takes faith to plant it & expect a harvest of corn! Every thing is in the seed already! The stalk, the ear, the silk & the roots!

Faith is the action TO believing TO please God. How much do you really believe God loves you? You have MORE in you!

I hope this encourages you to open your Bible AND increase your faith. God gives a measure of faith to beleive & opportunity for faith to grow!

Read Jude 1:20 & Hebrews Chapter 11.

By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.

It was by faith that Abel brought a more acceptable offering to God than Cain did.

Abel’s offering gave evidence that he was a righteous man, and God showed his approval of his gifts.

ALTHOUGH Abel is long dead, he STILL speaks to us BY his example OF faith.

It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying—“he disappeared, BECAUSE GOD took him.” FOR BEFORE he was taken up, he was known as a person who PLEASED GOD. And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him MUST believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
Hebrews 11:1‭, ‬3‭-‬6 NLT

God planned something better for us. He wanted to make us perfect. Of course, he wanted those great people to be made perfect too, but not before we could all enjoy that blessing together.
Hebrews 11:40 ERV

Love in Christ,
Karen

 

Hope in Today Ministries, Wednesday’s Devotion to God’s Word

“COME and TALK with me.” 

SoMetiMes I seek to escape where my heart needs to grow content.

To sing from my heart is a melody, THAT to me BEFORE voiced, is from a satisfied soul.

When we discover that spiritual place of understanding that ALL is well WITH my soul ~ God empowers an unconditional flight of excitement to be in the Presence of the Lord.

More than musical abilities, our heart & soul praise to God is music to God’s ears!

AND SOMETHING HAPPENS!

Today, this verse helped me prepare my heart to speak praises to God in the areas of redundancy that can wear me down soMetiMes…but truly we have a choice to Praise God from our soul, by the SPIRIT; not wasting our strength on anything else.

You are MORE than your location or situation! In this world, we can meet TRUE perfection that is MORE to come!

Praise God will/does take us to that place of a spiritual high! Unconditional of your circumstances, will you begin TRAINING your mind to praise the Lord with every breath that proceeds out of your mouth?

Discover how much God loves you!

This is a wonderful challenge in an exciting journey with Christ!

We can train our minds to Praise the Lord in ALL things. We can LISTEN to HEAR our (sentence structures) & how our words reflect our true heart.

God has allowed us to hear the good news! And God has allowed King David’s praise to be written to guide our spirital life and soul to grow closer to God thru praise.

Praise the Lord!! Praise the Lord’S glory and power.

“The Lord is my light and my salvation— SO WHY SHOULD I BE ____ / afraid?

The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from -danger, SO WHY SHOULD I ___/ tremble?

The ONE thing I ASK OF the Lord. THE THING I SEEK most— IS to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord ’s perfections and meditating in his Temple.

My heart has heard you say,
“COME and TALK with me.”

And my heart responds,
“ Lord , I am coming.”

TEACH me how to live, O Lord .
LEAD me along THE right path, FOR my enemies are waiting for me.

Wait patiently for the Lord.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the Lord .”
Psalms 27:1‭, ‬4‭-‬4‭, ‬8‭, ‬11‭-‬11‭, ‬14 NLT

Love in Christ,
Karen

 

Till next time!  “Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

The address in the Bible is found in 2 Corinthians 1:2, and this is the NIV today.

 

LOVE IN CHRIST,

Meet Karen: Hi, I am blessed, by God's good grace and because I know Jesus, I am blessed. I choose to be blessed, because I have a choice set before me and I refuse to look down. I trust God and I know and believe in the love God has for us. I have overcome difficulties; and I am blessed by the grace of God alone. If I have written about it, then I have felt the pain of it in some way, and to some degree. Did you know that Jesus has felt your pain? This is why I write. By God's grace I can identify; and tell you honestly, yes there is hope in anything and everything that you are facing today! Jesus is our Hope! He is the Truth, the Way and the Life. I am married a wonderful man, Robert Rowe; I love my husband and he loves me; and we have been married for 28 years. Together, we have been blessed with a wonderful daughter, named Amanda who is college now; and a wonderful son, named Daniel who is growing up well and soon to graduate elementary school. We work together and by God's grace we run our own business called PSI. We have a pastor over our ministry and over our business and also we depend on him for advise in our family. We have 2 dogs, 4 horses, 2 cats and love to spend time outdoors by the water and by campfires ... that is it seems when we can find time away from life's busy schedule. I love to write because it helps me learn more about God. And, I am driven by a passion from a love that God has put in my heart to share from my experiences and struggles, as I gain understanding in God’s Word to know how effective and powerful God is over our every situation! I share with you so you can know that you are not alone in your struggles. The same God who helps me and my family, is your help and shield as well! Life is not always easy, but it is possible –I like to share the difference that following Jesus makes in my life. And, I love to share God's patience and mercy and love that is with me! I am not perfect, but am experiencing God sanctify me through and through with every mistake I make; and yes, overcome in Christ! Life is not just about the successes; life on this earth is also about the troubles we overcome to discover what God has hidden in our faith to find! Troubles are more a challenge to grow in our faith ... It is not easy, but in the end the grace of God we discover is worth experiencing God in the midst. By Grace, I have discovered Jesus is Peace and He is my Joy and Wisdom from Heaven. God is our Provider and Healer and Creator, who is our help and shield over all things. By grace, I have experienced a nearness to God through my faith in His Son! We are well forgiven by God; and well blessed when we know and believe the love that God has for us. To say, "all is well with my soul" is a powerful knowledge to understand and experience. I sense God's desire for you to know His love for you and how deep His love for you is that He has SO loved you; God gave you His Son. God loves you right now just as you are! There is so much to learn! I believe that as we learn from God, we are God’s gift to each other. It is all God’s story –and for His glory; and God has SO loved us. I love to paint the vision that God has given me about a Father’s love –that God wants you to dream again and visualize His love for you! In God’s eyes, there’s more to life than we see; and in a world that sometimes misrepresents and misunderstands God and love; God wants you to have the courage to dream His dream and see His vision of a Father’s love for you! Many years ago, I prayed to God, “How can I tell a million people what I know about Your Son?” God showed me I had a gift of a ministry about God's Love; and He called it Hope in Today! I write to please God and I write to encourage you; and I write to spend quiet time with God. All because of this love that God has first shown me! I need Jesus –and my life is about my relationship with God. And, every blessing begins with Him! Love in Christ, Karen Rowe, Director Hope in Today Ministries, Inc.
