Faith over Fear

Mould Me. Make Me. Use Me.
Mercy receives Me.
My heart is open Jesus.

Refine - To bring to a fine or pure state free from impurities.
- to purify from what is coarse, vulgar, or debasing, Make elegant or cultured.
- to bring to a fine state or form by purifying
- to become pure
- to become more fine, elegant or polished.

So be truly glad there is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while.
These trials will show you that your faith is genuine.
It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold.
Though your faith is far more precious than mere gold.
1 Peter 1:6-7

Search me oh God and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts.
Remember to check yourself. Sometimes you are the toxic person.
Sometimes you are mean, negative or a problem but that doesn't make you any less worthy.
Keep growing. Mistakes can be opportunities to learn and grow.
Ask for forgiveness.
We are human and we make mistakes.
We have bad moments.
God knows our heart.
Acknowledge your wrongs and work on them without making excuses.

Hardships in our lives have purpose.
Nobody welcomes pain and suffering but when we know the heart of God we can begin to understand and trust that whatever pain he allows will work for the good of us and others in our lives.
This day might try to break you but take heart!
God makes broken things beautiful.

God can use our experience once we are healed to help and support others.
There are many ways God is transforming my own life and my heart is to help others too.
I've experienced massive emotional grief and pain through life experiences but by Gods grace I am on a journey of healing.
I often feel so weak but Gods strength keeps me going.
When worldly circumstances begin to weigh heavy, when fear threatens and sorrow grows the promise of a heavenly home gives me hope to keep going.

In my Fathers house there are many rooms.
If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself,
that where I am you may be also.
John 14:2-3

Seek the Lord and his strength;
Seek his presence continually.
1 Chronicles 16:11

I am not enough without you.
I can't do this without you.
I run to my Father.
Jesus I need you.
I just want you.

Jesus you choose me day after day.
When you enter Gods presence with praise, he enters your circumstance with power!
Jesus you are always beside me.
You cannot be destroyed by your imperfections when you know you are saved by perfect grace.
When all feels lost run to God.
You are not forsaken.
God is here, calling you out of your darkness drawing you near.

Learn of me and listen to my words; Walk in the meekness of my spirit and you shall have peace in me.
The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.
Exodus 14:14

For when I am weak
then I am strong!
2 Corinthians 12:10

God does great things through surrendered people.
My heart is wide open.
My life is yours.
To surrender in spirituality and religion means a believer completely gives up his own will and subjects his thoughts, ideas and deeds to the will and teachings of a higher power.
It may also be contrasted with submission.
Surrender is willful acceptance and yielding to a dominating force and their will.

In Christianity, the first main principal of surrender is "dying to self" or "the carrying of your cross" allowing Christ to reign and rule in the order of how ones life is carried out.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples; if any man will come after me let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
Matthew 16:24

Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us,
and hath given himself for us and offering a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling Saviour.
Ephesians 5:2

Jesus loves us. We are all sinners. We've all done wrong and we need God.
We need his help.
But no matter what we've done, no matter how grievous our offences against him and others have been,
he still loves us!
Jesus died on the cross to express that love.

There is huge importance in taking time quietly alone in church, home or another quiet place and ask Jesus to come into your soul.
Turn to Jesus.
Give him all your gifts and talents, accomplishments and failures.

I give you my all.
Your love is my strength.
I feel weak but you make me strong enough to carry on.
I'm focusing on faith rather than fear.
In difficult times we need others more than ever to help us see our rescuer, our warrior,
who has promised to bring us through whatever we face.

Jesus, I'm tired of doing life alone but I'm learning to trust in God more and more.
Trust in Gods refining grace.
God provides what we need and more!
Trust him to work for your good in and through your pain.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding,
In all your ways know him and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10


Jesus, You make a way when there is no way!
I am in your hands.
You've never failed me.
Your love is overwhelming.
I'm gracefully broken.
Your power is at work in me.
Take my broken pieces and make something beautiful and more useful than ever before.
I seek you Lord.

Jesus says:
I am your Redeemer
I am your Saviour
I am your Healer
I am your Strength
I am your Deliverer
I am your comfort
I am your Portion
I am your Counselor
I am your Hope
I am!

Your ministry is found where you've been broken.
Your testimony is found where you've been restored!

Blessed is She who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.
Luke 1:45
