Years ago, as a young single mother I was sadden that all I ever received in the mail was bills. It was so depressing. At that moment, I began to send cards, letters, and encouragement to people I love and know. Perhaps you have been a recipient. That's what Happy Sunday is to me. It's a method to spread joy, love, and encouragement. I hope that Happy Sunday encourages you and I hope you share that encouragement with others.
I love the WORD of GOD. Scriptures make me happy! I am so thankful for those who have sown the Word in my life. Today, I just want to share a few of my favorite scriptures with you. Jesus said, "The Spirit can make life. Sheer muscle and willpower don’t make anything happen. Every word I’ve spoken to you is a Spirit-word, and so it is life-making." John 6:63 (Message Translation) God’s Word is alive! It is Powerful and Effective! The Apostle Paul told Timothy, “Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.” 2 Timothy 3:16 (Message Translation)
"God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others." Corinthians 9:8 (New Living Translation)
"God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!" Ephesians 3:20 (Message Translation)
"Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see." Hebrews 11:1 (New Living Translation)
"Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met." Matthew 6:33 (Message Translation)
"“Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn’t a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in. If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing. You’re at least decent to your own children. So don’t you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?" Matthew 7:7-11 (Message Translation)
Love and prayers, Cynthia
