The Greatest Gift Exchange of All Time
We give Jesus our load of concerns, and He gives us a gift more precious than gold–that’s how Jesus wants to work this gift exchange.

Disappointment. Anger. Hurt. Envy. Fear. Doubt. Loneliness. Unforgiveness. They’re all capable of turning out the lights, metaphorically speaking.
The key to finding strength to soar is freely accessible to all regardless of race, age, or gender, and it’s guaranteed to never fail.
As the birds sing this morning, a song pops into my mind. I recall the lyrics, and they encourage me to focus not on my concerns but on my blessings instead.
God is with you, my friend. His presence will never leave your side. You don’t face your challenges alone, nor do you face them in your own strength.
His intent toward us is always good and never meant to harm or destroy. We find rest for our souls when we rest in Jesus.
When weariness drains us dry, joy is ours if we want. When burdens threaten to crush the life from us, joy is available as a supernatural gift of God’s grace.
I pray that today’s post will encourage and inspire you. It’s an excerpt from my devotional book Finding Hope in Crisis: Devotions for Calm in Chaos.
Let’s put our hope in God’s word. He vowed to never forsake us. He promised to be our refuge, our guide, our wisdom, and our provider
I find renewed hope when I cling to the truth that God will never let our pain go to waste. He will always make it beneficial to us when we work with Him.
It’s important to fix my mind on Him and ensure my thoughts about Him are based on truth. The moment they go elsewhere, doubts roll in and drown me.
Everything Satan whispers or shouts is a lie because he’s a liar. We needn’t give him one ounce of attention. Rather, let’s fill our minds with the truth.
As we tune our ear to hear His voice of truth, we’ll grow more adept at recognizing the lies and tuning out the naysayer.
The words we speak carry tremendous impact. They can breed death and discouragement or breath life. They influence our attitudes that influence our behaviors.
Hope is found in Jesus, the One who persevered and overcame death. Because of what He’s done and because He lives in us, we can persevere and overcome too.
Satan tried to kill Christ but failed miserably. And he can’t succeed in his attempts to take us out when Christ lives in us, so celebrate this Easter with joy.
I go for a walk or maybe treat myself to an iced cappuccino. And I always pray. Then I “pull up my big girl pants” trusting Him to give me renewed enthusiasm.
David and his men had traveled for three days without food or water. They were exhausted, and now they were faced with their loss.
