Sleeping is so important for our health! Because while we are sleeping:
"Our brains and bodies restore; our systems reboot; our processing and
creativity ability increases; our chances of making bad decisions
decrease; we can even find solutions to new problems whilst our memories
and intelligence improve!"
-Dr Caroline Leaf
But the thing is if we are worried when we go to sleep it will affect your rest.
So to have a good rest we really have to trust in God.
"Put your mind into God’s control at night when you go to sleep
and watch the difference the next day. "
-Dr Caroline Leaf
So....
SLEEP WELL! SWEET DREAMS!

Brian & Jenn Johnson have been
songwriting, leading worship, and overseeing Bethel Church’s Worship
Department for more than 15 years and they just released their own solo album called "After all these years".
"The album stirs great hope for
worshippers, reminding us to cherish our own history with God and
empowering us to build a legacy that will last."
I
haven't yet listened to all the songs of this album,but today I'm
enjoying the song called "You gonna be ok". Listen to it; it's beautiful
and full of hope!
YOU GONNA BE OK
[Verse 1]
I know it's all you've got to just, be strong
And it's a fight just to keep it together, together
I know you think, that you are too far gone
But hope is never lost
Hope is never lost
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, don’t let go
Hold on, don’t let go
[Chorus]
Just take, one step, closer
Put one foot in front of the other
You’ll, get through this
Just follow the light in the darkness
You’re gonna be ok
[Verse 2]
I know your heart is heavy from those nights
Just remember that you're a fighter, a fighter
You never know just what tomorrow holds
And you're stronger than you know
Stronger than you know
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, don’t let go
Hold on, don’t let go
[Chorus]
Just take, one step, closer
Put one foot in front of the other
You’ll, get through this
Just follow the light in the darkness
One step, closer
Put one foot in front of the other
You’ll, get through this
Just follow the light in the darkness
You’re gonna be ok
[Bridge]
And when the night, is closing in
Don't give up, and don't give in
This won't last, it's not the end, it's not the end
You're gonna be ok
When the night, is closing in
Don't give up, and don't give in
This won't last, it's not the end, it's not the end
You're gonna be ok
I know it's all you've got to just, be strong
And it's a fight just to keep it together, together
I know you think, that you are too far gone
But hope is never lost
Hope is never lost
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, don’t let go
Hold on, don’t let go
[Chorus]
Just take, one step, closer
Put one foot in front of the other
You’ll, get through this
Just follow the light in the darkness
You’re gonna be ok
[Verse 2]
I know your heart is heavy from those nights
Just remember that you're a fighter, a fighter
You never know just what tomorrow holds
And you're stronger than you know
Stronger than you know
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, don’t let go
Hold on, don’t let go
[Chorus]
Just take, one step, closer
Put one foot in front of the other
You’ll, get through this
Just follow the light in the darkness
One step, closer
Put one foot in front of the other
You’ll, get through this
Just follow the light in the darkness
You’re gonna be ok
[Bridge]
And when the night, is closing in
Don't give up, and don't give in
This won't last, it's not the end, it's not the end
You're gonna be ok
When the night, is closing in
Don't give up, and don't give in
This won't last, it's not the end, it's not the end
You're gonna be ok

Romans 12:2 says:
Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God—what is good and well-pleasing and perfect.
So...we must dwell upon the truths of God's Word
– set our minds on the things above...
Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.
-Colossians 3:2
Renewed, God-like thinking is vital!
...the more time we spend thinking about the Word of God, the more power and ability we will have to walk in it.
Watch also this powerful teaching by Dr Caroline Leaf.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
♥
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
Or as the CEV version says it:
I will bless you with a future filled with hope—
a future of success, not of suffering.
God’s plan for your life is always for you to be blessed!

It has been scientifically proven that laughter is good for your health:
laughing prolongs life, it is good for the brain and relationships with the others.
It makes us feel alive and capable of appreciate life despite the difficulties we may encounter daily.
In fact it is said:
"The more you laugh, the less you need to see a doctor!"
But this truth we now actually from the Bible:
A happy heart is like good medicine.
-Proverbs 17:22
So make a point of laughing more and you will be healthier too!
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you that you created the laughter and us in such a way that we can see the funny things in life and laugh about them and that it's good for our health.
Help us to remember to laugh more!
In Jesus' name.
Amen.

Some time ago;actually before Christmas I red this beautiful book : Uninvited- Living Loved When You Feel Less than, Left Out and Lonely by Lysa TerKeurst.
The book talks about rejection; "the roots of rejection as well as rejection's ability to poison relationships from the inside out, including our relationship with God."
I really loved this book and I highly recommend it to you as well!
So many great thoughts, but today I want to share with you just few...
Because we are all desperate for love...
yet it's crazy how easily we try to find it every where else and not
yet it's crazy how easily we try to find it every where else and not
in God's presence.
But God has the every answer we need! So...

Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, but happy is he who keeps the law.
- Proverbs 29:18
VISION=
"Vision is what we see, but it is also the way in which we see. Vision is the lens that interprets the events of our life, the way we view people and our concept of God
"Vision is what we see, but it is also the way in which we see. Vision is the lens that interprets the events of our life, the way we view people and our concept of God
When your vision is honestly birthed by God Himself, He will be delighted to direct your steps."
You are blessed!

God's word is food for our souls!
Memorize it. Confess it.
Let the words of the Bible enter into your mind and descend into your heart...
And let God's word transform your whole being!
Have a blessed day!

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.

On this winter day it's so encouraging to hear that God can turn winter into spring! ❤
...Your Love brings me to my knees...
...You are all my heart desires...
Beautiful song!
"To my knees"
In the Saviour's love
I find joy beyond compare
Endless peace covers all of me
When You breathe within
You turn winter into spring
Grace dissolves every fear in me
Your Love brings me to my knees
Brings me to my knees
My King forever
You are all my heart desires
Until the end of time
My soul surrendered
In my vacant heart
Lord You came and made a home
You bring light to the dark in me
When I lose my way
I am beckoned into grace
You alone are my everything
Your Love brings me to my knees
Brings me to my knees
My King forever
You are all my heart desires
Until the end of time
I find joy beyond compare
Endless peace covers all of me
When You breathe within
You turn winter into spring
Grace dissolves every fear in me
Your Love brings me to my knees
Brings me to my knees
My King forever
You are all my heart desires
Until the end of time
My soul surrendered
In my vacant heart
Lord You came and made a home
You bring light to the dark in me
When I lose my way
I am beckoned into grace
You alone are my everything
Your Love brings me to my knees
Brings me to my knees
My King forever
You are all my heart desires
Until the end of time
My soul surrendered
All the earth sing of mercy never ending
I will worship with all that is within me
Holy Holy, Lord God almighty
King of Heaven, Your's is the glory
Your Love brings me to my knees
Brings me to my knees
My King forever
You are all my heart desires
Until the end of time
My soul surrendered
Your Love brings me to my knees
Brings me to my knees
My King forever
You are all my heart desires
Until the end of time
My soul surrendered

Jesus is our only source of TRUE REST!
AND HE IS TELLING TO YOU AND ME:

I just listened to this song for the first time and I just loved the lyrics...
I have been studying about the renewing of the mind so this just fits perfectly:
"Hey Jesus, won’t You come and dress me in Your thoughts..."
Listen to it!
Beautiful Jesus
Hey Jesus, won’t You come and dress me in Your thoughts
Pick out Your favorite ones I’m holding out my heart
You cover gray, empty space with color from Your well
Deep love is pouring out and filling up my shell
Chorus:
Beautiful Jesus, My glorious friend
The One who never grows weary and stays till the end
Oh how I love You, I cannot begin to say
All of the reasons that I love to sing Your name
Holy Spirit, won’t You come and cover me in light
Illuminate the dark space with color yellow bright
Like the stars coming out and filling up my night
The glory of Your promises, You make wrong things right
You make wrong things right
Bridge:
Oh, how I love You
Pick out Your favorite ones I’m holding out my heart
You cover gray, empty space with color from Your well
Deep love is pouring out and filling up my shell
Chorus:
Beautiful Jesus, My glorious friend
The One who never grows weary and stays till the end
Oh how I love You, I cannot begin to say
All of the reasons that I love to sing Your name
Holy Spirit, won’t You come and cover me in light
Illuminate the dark space with color yellow bright
Like the stars coming out and filling up my night
The glory of Your promises, You make wrong things right
You make wrong things right
Bridge:
Oh, how I love You
Oh, how I love You
Oh, how I love You
Jesus
Outro:
I love You, no one’s like You
Keeper of my heart
Beautiful Jesus
Oh, how I love You
Jesus
Outro:
I love You, no one’s like You
Keeper of my heart
Beautiful Jesus
