 “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him,

and given Him a Name which is above every name: 

That at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow,

of things in heaven, and things in earth,

and things under the earth;

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the Glory of God the Father.”

Philippians 2:9-11

Trading Sorrow For Joy??? It’s A Great Trade!! Do It!!

“Surely He took up our infirmities

and carried our sorrows.”

Isaiah 53:4

“Why did Jesus live on earth as long as He did?

Why not step into our world just long enough

to die for our sins and then leave?

Why not a sinless year or week?

Why did He have to live a life?

To take on our sins is one thing,

but to take on our sunburns,

our sore throats?

To experience death,

yes —

but to put up with life?

To put up with long roads,

long days,

and short tempers?

Why did He do it?

Because He wants you to trust Him.” 

By Max Lucado

Trade your sorrow!

Trade your shame!

Lay them down for the Joy of the Lord!!

Trade your sickness!

Trade your pain!

Lay them down for the Joy of the Lord !!

Say,

“Yes, Lord!  Yes, Lord!  “Yes, Yes, Lord!

“Yes, Lord!  Yes, Lord!  “Yes, Yes, Lord!

“Yes, Lord!  Yes, Lord!  “Yes, Yes, Lord!

Amen!”

You’re pressed…

But not crushed…

Persecuted…

Not abandoned…

Struck down…

But not destroyed …

You’re blessed beyond the curse…

For His promise will endure…

And His Joy’s gonna be your strength!!

Sorrow may last for the night…

But, His Joy comes with the morning!!

Amen!

Go ahead!  Make the Trade!!

In God’s Eyes!!

4-29-13 Gilchrist park 152

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;   

Your works are wonderful,   

I know that full well.”

Psalm 139:14

I wish that you could see what God sees…

Beauty is within your heart…

He made you with such care…

And thinks you’re perfect…

Just the way you are!

There could never be a more beautiful you…

Don’t buy the lies, disguises, and hoops…

They make you jump through…

You were made to fill a purpose…

That only you could do…

So there could never be a more beautiful you!

So turn around you’re not too far…

To back away…

Be who you are…

To change your path…

Go another way…

It’s not too late…

You can be saved…

If you feel depressed with past regrets…

The shameful nights hope to forget…

Can disappear…

They can all be washed away…

By the One who’s strong…

Can right your wrongs…

Can rid your fears…

Dry all your tears…

And change the way you look at this big world…

He will take your dark distorted view….

And with His light…

He will show you truth…

And again you’ll see through the eyes of a little girl!

To God…

There could never be a more beautiful you!!

You’re beautiful! You’re beautiful!

You are made for so much more than all of this…

You are treasured…

You are sacred..

You are His!!

All the lies you’ve held inside so long…

They are nothing in the shadow of the Cross!

You’re the one He madly loves…

Enough to die!!
