JOY = KNOWING GOD


JOY = KNOWING GOD
by Daneille Gray Snowden

Biblical joy is the knowledge that God is in control!

HE IS IN CONTROL! When we try to take over by our attitudes, actions and even apathy - we can relinquish His plans He desired personally.
I am seeing so many who are so angry, & so fearful right now, as this pandemic as well as the political lashings are spewed out.
Our words & actions reveal our hearts.
Hard things happen! Believe me: I know.
But we must trust God no matter what!
Our health may become compromised, & we don’t like what we think are ‘hidden-agendas’ regarding our government. HEAR ME:
REST IN YOUR GOD! Get your ‘soul-rest’ even now!
He said; “Come to me ALL who are weary....” -Not to spit and spat!
Ya know; if you are God’s Child (one who asked Him into your heart) - He’s got you!
Scripture says; “I have never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread.” (Ps 37:25)
If we are nestled under the Wings of the Almighty God; our souls will be settled down. We will then know How indeed powerful our God is.
Then we feel & know true peace and joy!
If Jesus can walk through betrayal, beatings, & horrible pain hanging on the cross; if He could withstand carrying all our sin and feeling the separation from His Father; and still have a heart of love for His enemies, for the sinner beside Him and even make sure His mother was cared for: we can too as we Rest In Peace now!
—Jesus could’ve ranted and been right about it.
BUT HE DIDN’T!
He loved! He walked through it and today we get to be blessed by His gift of salvation! Rest now in your heart, KNOW GOD = have His Joy!

FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES

7 FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES Out of desperation creativity is birthed. I hope to add on to this post through the years. Churches love to give to dad's on Father's Day; sometimes this can be redundant and or expensive. A few short years ago we stepped out of the Evangelistic & Pioneer work to take a small church that is just great and out of the box. So, of course budget is minimal and I am 'it' when it comes to holiday decor and gifting ideas & doing them. The 4 gifts that my family and I put together are as follows:                       POPCORN/CANDY/MOVIE  We placed microwave popcorn, candy bar and a special Father's Day poem inside a popcorn bag.  FRAMED ART FROM LOCAL ARTIST/MINISTER  (Rev. Paul Gray)  MADE THIS INTO A FRAME & ADDED A PEN.                                             MINI GIFTS WRAPPED IN A HANKIE Pocket knife, Voice of the Martyrs Pendant  & candy! Al

LET US TRUST THE PROCESS OF PRUNING

Did you ever read this verse in John 15:2 and think, "that's extreme, can't we just hold onto these extra branches that grew once and bore amazing, fruit?" I have definitely !   Then life happens! In that life, we make a decision to dig deeper in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Yet, as we do, we face obstacles (or that's what we called them) that challenged us to trust Jesus to do what He wills in our lives.  I believe this place is a milestone in the timeline of our lives. Will we continue to walk ever so close to the Lord, realizing as we do, He will prune us? Will we desire to be producers of His fruit and life flow through us? Many of us realize that this means more obstacles, cuts, bleeding, times of dormancy and simple hurt.  This is when the milestone comes; will we accept this pruning and be fruitful or just become branches that become brittle, and ragged?  A lot of questions to ponder, but I feel God wants to use each and everyone of His children in o

Thank You For Asking

(c)Daneille Gray Snowden 2022 Today, I was deeply touched in my heart when a dear friend asked how my husband was. I did not mention it first, out of the blue; she asked about something dear to my heart. This wasn't the first time as she has  asked about different matters in my life several times. May I tell you how that made me feel? It made me feel cared for, loved and set back how someone cares intensely about me and my life. How often do you personally experience such care and interest from others? And, as I ask myself this too; how often do we reach out and ask others how they are? When people as a whole reach out in such a way, we see the creation power of God as hearts are connected to one another and a strong foundation is beginning to be built for a lasting relationship.  I love it when I hear conversations in church  or in my home when I  listen to their questions of wanting to learn of others situations, experiences, needs and even joys. The questioner is totally focused
