DO NOT FEAR

DO NOT FEAR…
”…for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior”

/Isaiah 43:1-3

”My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
/2 Corinthians 12

”The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
/Deuteronomy 31:8 

FRIHET.

Långfredagen.

Jesus dog på ett kors.

Kompakt mörker, död och hopplöshet.

Tystnad.

En ny dag gryr.

Ljuset bryter igenom.

Marken skakar…

Livet segrar!

Hopp!

Liv!

Frihet!

Jesu dog och uppstod.

Tog min skuld, sjukdom, synd och skam.

Tog mina bördor, bojor och fångenskap.

Gav mig liv, förlåtelse, hopp, kärlek, glädje.

Av nåd. Helt oförtjänt.

Öppnade vägen till Gud.

Jesus – Den vackraste gåvan.

Jag kan inget annat än att bara säga:

Ja! Tack!

Och berätta om den vackraste gåvan jag fått: Jesus

”Han har frälst oss från mörkrets välde och fört oss in i sin älskade Sons rike. I honom är vi friköpta och har fått förlåtelse för våra synder.”
Kol 1:13-14

”Ni som var döda på grund av era överträdelser och er oomskurna natur, också er har han gjort levande med Kristus. Han har förlåtit oss alla överträdelser och strukit ut det skuldebrev som med sina krav vittnade mot oss. Det har han tagit bort genom att spika fast det på korset.”
/Kol 2:13-15

CAN YOU SEE HIM?

”Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”
/Isaiah 53

”For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”/John 3:16

“I asked Jesus, ‘How much do you love me?’ And Jesus said, ‘This much.’ Then He stretched out His arms and died.” – Unknown

You surround me

That the God who created heaven and earth sees me, knows me, loves me and never leaves me… wow!
”You surround me with your song
You sing over me.
Songs of joy
rooting in my heart.
Makes my heart bubbeling –
Wow, that I am loved by you!
And to know that you love me,
This, i can’t contain –
I just have to bring it all back to you!”

YOU ARE WITH ME

”When I have You, I’ve got everything I need.

You lead me to the green fields,
my weary soul finds rest in You.

You restore me, redeem me and lead me,

You turn my heavy heart into singing,
songs of joy, joy everlasting.

Your thoughts for me are wider,
Your love for me is deeper than the ocean…

This is more than I can comprehend

You are with me.

Thou storms may surround me, I Will not be shaken.
When fear tries to steal my peace, You NEVER leave me.

I set my eyes on you, my shepherd, my saviour and my friend,

You are with me.
And I’ll be with you forever more.”

/Interpretation of psalm 23

A HOPE AND A FUTURE

A HOPE AND A FUTURE?”For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
/Jeremiah 29:11

HEALER OF THE BROKENHEARTED?
”He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
/Psalms 147

”The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
/Psalms 34:18

?

When your fear tells your faith there is no use in those prayers anymore…Hold on. Hope. Hold on.
He will give you faith. Fuel to your hope.
Keep holding on. Light will come through.

DESERT FLOWER 

You lead me to the river
You restore my soul
Streams of living water
Bringing life
Life aboundant
Owerflowing
Owerwhelming

”The Lord will always lead you.
He will satisfy your needs in dry lands
and give strength to your bones.
You will be like a garden that has much water,
like a spring that never runs dry.”
Isaiah 58:11

”Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
John 4
