WFW-1 John 3:16

Original image: http://www.manywallpapers.com; I added the Scripture

This is how we know what love is:
Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.
And we ought to lay down our lives
for our brothers.

1 John 3:16

Today I share 1 John 3:16 with you for Word-Filled Wednesday & Women in the Word Wednesdays for several different reasons:

• This is the weeks challenge to memorize for GMG
• This Scripture has been laid on my heart lately
• When I came across this image…
• I felt greatly drawn to share it with you all today!

Unfortunately I think a lot of people today have forgotten that we’re to help each other out when needed. We need to be examples for others – as other points are shared for Women in the Word Wednesdays this week!  Families need to come together and support each other. We’re to love other’s as we love ourselves. We are to forgive as He forgave us. Are we doing this? Are we being who He ask’s us to be? Do we completely have the concept of His love for us – I really needed AmyDeanne’s WFW sharing today! How about how He takes on our burdens and protects us or even how He fills us with joy & commands that we share His Word… Do we remember how He’s reasoned with us… making our sins as white as snow? His Word reminds us … His Word Blesses us… take take to be with Him. Do we know Him, really?

(I’m so glad I’m chiming in late today… and get to share so many other’s Scripture graphics with you; as they all come together! God does that a lot around me! And I’m glad I can share it with you! … I haven’t checked them all out – so Please head on over, Click here to view the entire list of entered link)

Thanks for stopping today,

WFW – Matthew 6:9-13 & SYATP

Welcome to Word-Filled Wednesday! Today… I’d like to share with you an international event that took place: See You at the Pole™!

⁹“This, then, is how you should pray:
” ‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
¹⁰your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹Give us today our daily bread.
¹²Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
¹³And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.’

Matthew 6:9-13

See You at the Pole™, the global day of student prayer, began in 1990 as a grass roots movement with ten students praying at their school. Twenty years later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September.

See You at the Pole™ is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event.

Be clicking on the Scripture graphic above… you’ll be taken to http://www.SYATP.com where you can find more information about the event!

WFW – Psalm 37:4 & New Study!

Hello everyone… as I continue on my journey I’m blessed to share His Word with you – as He continues to help me out of the state of depression (though some days still stumbling) and pressing on, persevering through and seeing the joy He surrounds me with!

Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4 (NIV)

I share this Scripture with you today because of many things going on in my life and new study that started Monday, September 13th! Join me and several other women for a journey to Makeover of the Heart at The Well with Tracy Berta video’s and her study guide that we can download each week!

Come experience a complete heart transplant, allowing God to take out your old heart full of its selfish desires and replace it with a new heart….

A Delightful Heart
A Healed Heart
A Committed Heart
A Prayerful Heart

This first week – Tracy requests for us to get our hearts ready!

1. God’s Word says that “when we delight ourselves in Him, He gives us the desires of our heart.”  Have you taken any time to ponder WHAT the desires of your heart are?  What are your dreams?  Aspirations? Hope against all hope?  What are your passions?  There is a wonderful song by Michael W. Smith called “Secret Ambition.” When I first heard this song, God awakened a desire in me to  bring a woman’s conference to our church for the first time.  He then drew me into a speaking ministry as He called ME to be the speaker at the conference.  I had no idea that this passion was inside me until God awakened it.  Ask God to awaken you to the secret desires of your heart…..the plans He has for you….the dreams He has given you.
2. Read Ezekiel 36:25-28 and write it in your own words what God is going to do.
3. Make a list of ways you would like to be transformed during this bible study.  How do you want God to change you?  What are your personal goals with this study? What are your personal expectations? Why are you reading this? What do you hope to accomplish?  What are things in your heart that you want God to remove?  What are things you want Him to place in your heart?  How do you see yourself changed at the end of the six weeks?  What drew you to the study in the first place?  What does this “Heart Makeover”mean to YOU?

I’m excited to share this journey & others with you all! (Check back later for my answers to Tracy’s questions) Word-Filled Wednesdays helps keep me digging into His Word creating Scripture graphics which is one of my greatest passions! I’m  involved with others to maintain accountability in many different areas of my life:

• Weekly meetings with my mentor & friend to complete a study we’re doing! Daily phone calls to pray together!
• Word-Filled Wednesdays
• Sunday School Devotions: Masterwork: Essential Messages from God’s Servants
• Occasionally I read through Charles Stanley’s Early Morning Devotions: http://www.intouch.org/magazine/daily-devotional
• At the Well Monday Bible Studies (Shared above), and
• Good Morning Girls accountability group through email; and Women in the Word Wednesday’s blog posts!

Additionally in my search for a Scripture graphic this morning, I came across another blogpost for Psalm 37 at DwellingintheWord.wordpress.com!

Thanks for sharing with me today,

WFW – Zephaniah 3:5, 17

^5b
Morning by morning he dispenses his justice,
and every new day he does not fail,
yet the unrighteous know no shame.

¹⁷ The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.”

Zephaniah 3:5, 17

I’ve been wanting to share Zephaniah 3:17 for quite some time… but have not made a graphic myself — and today I came across this one! I just had to share with you all, as these Scriptures have been on my mind all week, off/on through the last year, and especially lately due to a song heard in service this past Sunday!

“When the Night is Falling”
written by: Dennis Jernigan

Zephaniah 3:17 keeps coming up around me everywhere… praying throughout this year to figure out exactly what it is God is trying to get me to learn. I’m thankful to continue to enjoy His presence and thankful for His saving grace, loving that He has a desire to take great delight in me… … taking the time (maybe this is it – not enough?) to get quiet and listen – receiving His Love, hearing His rejoicing over me.

Do you hear it? He loves you!!

WFW – Psalm 27:5

Hello everyone,

Today I share AmyDeanne’s Word-Filled Wednesday & thank her for continuing to share her gift in placing Scripture’s with pictures! WFW originated with AmyDeanne and we’re blessed to share in this meme weekly over at the cafe!

For He will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble.

Psalm 27:5

I share AmyDeanne’s today as it is so fitting in my journey right now – needing His shelter… in depression & shelter from self… in insomnia. (Not that I’m in trouble, Thankfully & Praising God, I want no trouble here.)

WFW – Romans 12:2

While I’m still focusing on this Scripture… I came across the above photo (which I requested to add the Scripture to & use here) and several different posts where Eyob shares his thoughts:

• Renew your mind and live your life with purpose
• Renew your mind and live your life with purpose (part II)
• Renew your mind and live your life with purpose (part III)

Take the time… read through his sharing and other Scriptures that have truly spoken to me this past week! I am honored to share God’s Word with you all and this picture!

WFW – Romans 12:1,2

This morning I awoke with many thoughts in my mind trying to bring me down, but over them – LOUDER – was Stellar Kart’s song, “Something Holy!” God helping me drown out the negativity… to press on, because I need to remember that He is bigger than any problem that I could come up against. I need to remember, I’m here for something bigger – something Holy!

All morning I’ve been trying to figure a Scripture that He wanted me to share with this song:

He is wonderful, amazing, the only One I need to please! I thank You, Lord, for helping me through this morning!

We are here for something more! So remember:

Romans 12:1, 2

¹Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual^[a] act of worship. ²Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
