New season

Hold on! Even thou it´s still winter outside,

spring w i l l arive

no matter how I feel,

what I believe,

it will happen.

Springrain will come, new hope will rise,
like grace,
breathing  life into what was dead.

Don´t loose heart!
Take courage,
something new is coming up !

God is faithful.

”For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.”
Isaiah 43:19

Forgiven

forgivness

Your grace speaks louder than my shame,

my mistakes, all my failures.

 

Your blood covers all my transgressions,

through your sacrifice at the cross

i

am

made

clean.

 

Just because of what you did,

not because of what i can do.

 

Your arms are open wide.

Your love will never fail me.

 

All I can do is just to receive your grace

and your grace is enough for me.

 

Through your eyes, i am beautiful.

 

You won´t hold my sin against me,

there´s  no condemnation for those who believe in you.

 

Thank you Jesus- your love is greater than i can comprehend!

 

”Those who look to him are radiant;
   their faces are never covered with shame.”
//Psalm 34

”I said, “I will confess
    my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.”
//Psalm 32

I´m yours

I know the Lord is always with me.
    I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.
    My body rests in safety.

For you will not leave my soul among the dead
    or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.

You will show me the way of life,
    granting me the joy of your presence
    and the pleasures of living with you forever.

Psalm 16

And smoking flax He will not quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth.” Isaiah 42:3

You watch over me

You watch over me

”I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.”

Psalms 121
