Empowering Thought

 “I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward-to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.”

When you are afraid, in trouble of any kind or your heart is overwhelmed run to the throne of your God. It is the safest place to seek refuge, get help and where your heart will be preserved and stabilised.

Power Thought: The Lord Is My Light and Salvation – Whom Shall I Fear?
Psalm 27:1

Power Thought: “The Heart is the mainspring” – Smith Wigglesworth

The heart is the centre of your life. It is made up of your thoughts, emotions and will. It is where you direct your life and all the affairs of life. The Bible tells us to protect and nurture our heart with tender loving care. In the same way you have to look after the natural heart as the place where blood is pumped to all the different parts of the body and gives life and strength to your body so it is with your soul heart. It is where your passions, creativity and all your life flows from. It is a very valuable place.
