Heart Heart to Dear Reader, It’s SPRING! Just look around you, everywhere new life is coming forth. From the buds of leaves on barren trees to spring flowers and not to mention all the babies being born. Can you feel the warmer sunbeams caressing your cheeks? When the wind brushes through the trees are you ready to hear God’s voice? Just as everything is coming back to life after a cold winter God wants to revive your spirit. It is so easy becoming stagnant and comfortable in our walk with God. Everything seems to be plodding along, you pray, you go to church, you have weekly meetings with your small group etc. etc. God wants more! God wants all of you! God wants you to live with a burning desire for Him, He wants you to be on fire and seek Him and rely on Him and always trust Him in everything. He said: “Right now, God is more concerned with your character than your comfort.” Wow! God is preparing us for eternity. This little bit of life on earth is but a drop in the ocean compared to what God has instore for us. Are you ready for God? Are you ready to live for Him? Awaken my soul and my spirit Lord...I am ready! Mariette God bless you, Walking with God in faith and trusting Him is not easy. God never said this life will be smooth sailing and that we will not have any problems if we follow Him. But He did say that He will be with us always. He will strenghten us. He will guide us. He will console us. He will always love us, and it will all be worth it. I struggled this past week with many questions and one of them was: why do we go through so many tough times? It feels like it never ends. I watched a Youtube video of one of Rick Warrens sermons and one thing he said really hit home for me, and it answered my question. Page 3
