LET GOD TAKE THE DRIVER'S SEAT - HE WANTS TO BE YOUR GUIDE
Jesus said: Anyone who intends to come with Me has to let Me lead. You're not in the driver's seat--I am (Luke 9:23 MSG). Always let Him lead you, and He will clear the road for you to follow. (Prov 3:6 CEV).

GUIDANCE
When I think about the word guidance, I kept seeing dance at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person relaxes and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

Back to the word guidance. When I see G, I think of God, followed by U and I. God, U and I dance. God, you and I dance. This is what guidance means to me. As I lower my head, I become willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I become willing to let God lead. *

THE LORD IS NEAR
He is near to those who call to Him, who call to Him with sincerity. (Ps 145:18 GNB). Remember There's always a rainbow, wherever a cloud appears, There's always tomorrow, although you have doubts and fears. Someone is there to listen, if only you'll stop and pray. Someone is close beside you, to help you on your way.

TROUBLES VANISH, HEARTS ARE MENDED
All the earlier troubles, chaos, and pain are things of the past, to be forgotten. (Isa 65:17 MSG)

Whatever your cross; Whatever your pain; There will always be sunshine after the rain; Perhaps you may stumble; Perhaps even fall; But God is always ready to answer your call. He knows every heartache; Sees every tear; A word from His lips can calm every fear. Your sorrows may linger throughout the night; But suddenly vanish at dawn's early light. *

The Saviour is waiting somewhere above to give you his grace and send you his love. Whatever your cross; Whatever your pain; God always sends rainbows after the rain. Tears may flow in the night, but joy comes in the morning. (Ps 30:5 GNB). You have kept record of my days of wandering. You have stored my tears in your bottle and counted each of them. (Ps 56:8 CEV) *

ONE LINERS
Tough times never last, but tough people do. Positive thinking will not always change our cir tances, but it will always change us. The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel influences the way you act. Laughter is like changing a baby's diaper -- it doesn't permanently solve any problems, but it makes things more acceptable for a while.

Your life is not over when you have experienced failure. Your life is over when you give up and loose hope. Our way leads to a hopeless end, God's way leads to an endless hope the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes their way. *
