24.01.2022 Weekend Blessing: How do you create an atmosphere for growth and healing? You remember that God is on the throne. You make God’s peace a high priority in your life. You learn to celebrate even the smallest of victories and enjoy even the smallest of blessings. You sing, dance, belly laugh, and worship with your whole heart. You immerse yourself in God’s Word. You refuse fear and choose faith instead. You love in a way that changes you. This weekend, may you have the presence ...of mind to cherish every second with the ones you love. May you make time for fun, for rest, and for reflection. May you plan time in your schedule not to have plans, and see what happens. May you come to know--on a whole new level--that much more rests on God shoulders than on yours. And may you learn to enjoy the journey because His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Jesus loves you with an everlasting love. Enjoy your weekend. #SusieLarsonBlessings Colossians 3:15 (NLT) ~ And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.

24.01.2022 Weekend Blessing: Though our culture idolizes perception, perfection, and facade, may you refuse such shallow mindsets. When you see others, may you look past the surface and care about the story. May you instantly discern what makes them tired, thirsty, and longing for more. May God use you to bring a little of heaven to earth. And when you look in the mirror, may you practice some self-compassion. May you see the beauty in your brokenness. Jesus loves your humble heart and ...He isn’t finished with you yet. When you’re tempted to hide your scars, settle into God’s grace instead. Jesus treats your story with tender care. He’s far kinder than we tend to be. Breathe in His supernatural love tonight, and exhale His grace to a world in need. God bless you. #SusieLarsonBlessings You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart. ~1 Peter 1:22

23.01.2022 Some helpful thoughts from Philip Yancey.

21.01.2022 Weekend Blessing: May you pause this weekend and give some thought to how far you’ve come on your journey. You are an overcomer. May you look up and remember that the Creator of the universe knows you by name. May you look within and marvel that Jesus has done a deep work in you and He’s not finished yet. And then, may you look to the horizon, full of faith, because you’ll never be without His lavish grace, His abundant mercy, or His unfathomable love. You’ll never walk alone.... Forget what lies behind. Trust Jesus for the road up ahead. And celebrate your victories today. They’re real, they’re tangible, and they matter. God bless you this weekend. #SusieLarsonBlessings But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ's triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. 2 Corinthians 2:14

18.01.2022 End of Day Prayer: Father in Heaven refresh my soul and renew my perspective. Though You've blessed me beyond measure I still find reasons to worry. Forgive me, Lord. I don't want to look at circumstances that weaken my faith. Hold my face in Your hands and give me eyes for only You. Fill me with faith this hour. Surround me with peace. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen. #SusieLarsonPrayers He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Psalm 23:3

16.01.2022 Morning Blessing: A little self-compassion goes a long way. Give yourself some grace today. You’re a work in progress, and you get to be, without the condemnation. Believe the best about others, because they’re in process too. Refuse to listen to gossip, toxic accusations, and diminishing assessments. They’re bad for your soul. Fill up on what is lovely, true, praiseworthy, and joy-sustaining. We follow a smiling Savior. He’s happy, joyful, and full of compassion. He’s fierce... in our defense, ruthless against evil, and powerful in every way. He has no equal, no rival, and no competition. He is God. And He loves you. Trust Him with your life. He’ll lead you from strength to strength, glory to glory, shining ever brighter until the full light of day. God bless you! #SusieLarsonBlessings Proverbs 4:18 ~ The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day.

15.01.2022 A Prayer from Henri Nouwen. Dear God, I so much want to be in control.... I want to be the master of my own destiny. Still I know that you are saying: Let me take you by the hand and lead you. Accept my love and trust that where I will bring you, the deepest desires of your heart will be fulfilled. Lord, open my hands to receive your gift of love. Amen.

15.01.2022 Every soul needs healing of some kind. And every one of us has baggage that needs to go. Baggage like fear, despair, discouragement, jealousy, and insecurity. May you dare to humble yourself under God's mighty hand. Ask Him to show you your heart, the things you cannot see. Dare to surrender your plan, and trust Him with your desires and see if He doesn't meet you, minister to you, and establish you more fully in His purposes for you. God wants to revive His Church. He's puri...fying hearts, healing hearts, and disciplining those who need it. He misses nothing. May revival start within you as you sort through the stuff that pushes you down or holds you back. God always has more for you. Whatever promises you've memorized, know there are more of His promises to appropriate. In whatever ways you've experienced God, these are just tastes of things to come. Nothing on earth compares to knowing God in a way that changes you. The world needs your influence. And Jesus loves you more than you love yourself. Trust Him as He changes you from the inside out. #SusieLarsonBlessings John 17:20-21 (AMP) ~ (Jesus said): I do not pray for these alone [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for [all] those who [will ever] believe and trust in Me through their message, that they all may be one; just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe [without any doubt] that You sent Me.

15.01.2022 Have you seen this great new gospel presentation created for The Salvation Army? It's found at the new Salvos Mag website, salvosmagazine.com.au - what a wonderful message to be able to share with members of our community. #livelovefight

13.01.2022 Evening Blessing: In those places where you feel like sighing, may Jesus put a new song in your heart. Where you're weary from holding on, may He give you new courage to stand strong. Where you've waited long to see the breakthrough, may He very soon do what only He can do. Sometimes it feels like He's slow to intervene but the truth is, He's meticulous and miraculous, He's sovereign and strategic. He knows what He's doing and He deserves our trust. May we all rest in Him tonight. He'll do the heavy lifting. Blessings to you! #SusieLarsonBlessings Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 NIV

12.01.2022 May God reset your perspective today. You’re not called to do everything, be everything, or even see everything. You are called to keep your gaze fixed on God alone. Don’t look at all of your problems all at once; instead, look at ONE of His promises all of the time until you’ve made it your own. God’s Word is living and breathing, active and powerful. God’s Word holds life, wisdom and revelation for you. Search until you find them. It’s time to reset your perspective. God ha...s peace for you here. He has joy for you here. He has provision for you in this place. Look to Him and you’ll find life again. May you spend the rest of your life getting to know the love of God and the promises of God. May you spend every moment seeking the face of God. He deserves your trust. You are tethered to a good God. It’s impossible for Him to fail you. #SusieLarsonBlessings Hebrews 6:18-19 (NLT) ~ So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner

12.01.2022 Our desires are always far inferior to God’s desires for us. We want comfort. God wants to conform us to His image. We want convenience. God loves to provide in a way that completely alters our history, which takes time. We want immediate relief. God wants total redemption of our story. Replace grumbling with gratitude. Cast aside entitlement and impatience. Re-embrace a heart of humility and wonder. You follow the star-breathing God. His way might take longer, but it’s the best way for you. Go with God. He’s most certainly with you. #SusieLarsonQuotes #Prevail #ComingSeptember2020 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

12.01.2022 Morning Blessing: When life takes a sudden turn or when the storms shake the ground beneath us, we quickly see how tightly we're clinging to things that were never meant to anchor us. We instinctively panic because we don't want to lose the stuff we're white-knuckling, but, dear one, the Prince of Peace is on the scene. He is with you. He reaches for you. He speaks peace to your soul and healing to your heart. You need Him more than your desires, and He holds you more firmly ...than your fears hold you. Try letting go. Try trusting Him here. Try imagining the good things He has planned for you in the future. Breathe deeply today. Steward only what He assigns. Let go and trust Him. He has you. #SusieLarsonBlessings Hebrews 6:19 (AMP) ~ This hope [this confident assurance] we have as an anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whatever pressure bears upon it]a safe and steadfast hope that enters within the veil [of the heavenly temple, that most Holy Place in which the very presence of God dwells]

10.01.2022 Everywhere Wonderful lyrics from John Gowans and music from Andrew Maycock. I hope this encourages you today. Thank you Jill Ulmer, that's some keyboard chops ...you have! My thanks also to Bernie. #songsofhope #covid19sessions #socialdistancingduets

May you spend every moment seeking the face of God. He deserves your trust. He’s a good God. It’s impossible for Him to fail you. #SusieLarsonBlessings 2 Corinthians 4:18-19 ~ For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.

09.01.2022 Morning Blessing: May youon a much deeper levelknow and experience the generosity of God. May His promised kindness bring assurance to your soul. May His faithful attention to detail settle your trembling heart. May His unshakeable love for you help you to rest even amidst your storm. You’re anchored to Him. He misses nothing. He’s forgotten nothing. And He refuses to leave you with nothing. If your hands are empty, it’s because He intends to fill them. Wait on Him. Wholeheartedly trust Him. His good plan is already in motion and soon you will see it. #SusieLarsonBlessings Psalm 23:6 (ESV) ~ Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

08.01.2022 May you cultivate a lifestyle that allows for times of replenishing rest, powerful prayer, and thoughtful consideration of what God is saying to you in this season. May you push away the clutter and treat yourself to some time and space to rest and to remember that Jesus is the Captain of your ship, the Guardian of your soul, and He’s leading you safely home. He is with you. He’s actively engaged all around you. He is intimately near and profoundly powerful. Yet the culture r...aces on as if He doesn't exist. But He lives! And His promises are true for you. Calm your anxious heart. Trust His love for you. Celebrate even the smallest breakthroughs and enjoy the simplest of pleasures. He gives good gifts to His children. The storms will rage but they’re forging faith in you. Times are difficult, but they remind you that this is not your home. You were made for another world. Blessings to you this week! #SusieLarsonBlessings 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 (NLT) ~ That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.

06.01.2022 Weekend Blessing: The world is in an uproar, but God is still on His throne. Fear and anxiety have gripped many hearts, but you still have access to God's powerful presence; a place where you can rest and find clarity once again. Sickness spreads, and the enemy spews, but you serve the God of the breakthrough. Are you listening for His voice? He speaks peace. He's your hiding place--a shelter from the storm. How much bad news do you process before you lose heart and lose fait...h? It's time to steward your perspective with wisdom and clarity. Measure the bad news based on your firm grasp of the Good News. You're not weak to limit your intake. You're wise. Look to the Lord every moment that you think about it. He will deliver you from all of your fears. Hide your soul in Him, and you'll be a source of strength for others. Be strong and courageous today. #SusieLarsonBlessings Psalm 37:39-40 ~ The Lord rescues the godly; he is their fortress in times of trouble. The Lord helps them, rescuing them from the wicked. He saves them, and they find shelter in him.

05.01.2022 Morning Blessing: Sometimes we cling too tightly to the very thing God is asking us to lay before Him. Why are we afraid? Is it because He's not good? Do we fear our best days are behind us? If that's you, it's time for a reset. Whenever we cling to anything but Jesus, we're the ones who lose. May He pour out fresh grace to trust Him more. May He stir up the faith you need to let go and let God. May He tilt your chin upward so you will dare to hope even before your eyes see t...he good land up ahead. Open your hands and trust Him. He's a good, good God, and He loves you so very much. Breathe deeply and rest in Him. #SusieLarsonBlessings Psalm 28:7 ~ The Lord is my strength and my [impenetrable] shield; my heart trusts [with unwavering confidence] in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I shall thank Him and praise Him.

03.01.2022 Weekend Blessing: May you hold fast to that which strengthens your soul. May you create time and space for Jesus: time in His Word, time to pray and reflect, time with your people (even if by screen), and even time for vigorous exercise because it reminds you that you're alive in Him. May you refuse to procrastinate on the essential things. May you be motivated to turn away from time wasters and comfort foods. May you instead engage in the life-giving work and nourishment tha...t Jesus has provided for you. Your calling matters. Your life matters. And YOU matter because you are an image-bearer of the Most High God. Have a blessed and beautiful day! #SusieLarsonBlessings Psalm 23:3-4 ~ He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and quiet waters. He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

01.01.2022 Morning Blessing: May the wonder of Christ's love and the miracle of His redemption sweep you off your feet and ignite your faith once again. May you dare to look away from your discouragements and look toward your Deliverer who truly makes all things new. May your heart of faith beat once again for the promises God has made to you. May you pick up the cause of faith and march forward knowing God has your back, He's gone before you, and He's placed His hand of blessing upon y...our head (Psalm 139:5). Awaken to joy today! Embrace faith today! Pray like you have a God in heaven who hears you and moves when you pray...because you do! A blessed and beautiful day to you this day! #SusieLarsonBlessings Romans 8:38-39 (ESV) ~ For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
