God’s Word: …with God all things are possible. Luke 1:37

Encouragement Shared: Luke 1:37 my life verse written on my heart. Notice the verse states ALL things not some, a couple or no thing. God’s word states … ALL things are possible.
Today I celebrate 10 years dialysis free without a transplant… I share my testimony as an encouragement. …it is a miracle of God. And yes, God performs miracles everyday! Thank you Lord!
We just need to trust and believe.

My Testimony of Healing: On September 11, 2000 I suffered an illness that would forever change my life. The Auto Immune Illness is called Slceraderma- an illness that has no cure, it attacks the organs; liver, lung, heart, and kidney. It attacked my kidneys and I was put on dialysis with out a hope of ever living. I called out to the Lord and he saved me out of all my troubles. Ps. 34 I was given faith, hope and love through God’s grace and without a transplant my kidney function was restored. It confounded the Doctors and the medical staff that cared for me. I am living dialysis free seven years. Christ in me brought me healing and a new life. My encouragement for you… Trust, Commit and Delight in Him and he will give you the desires of your heart. Bestill and wait patiently for Him Psalm 37:3-7

The miracles continue daily… And I am bless to be given this life to encourage those to seek the Lord in love.

Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance,

Love in Christ,

Psalm 34

New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)

Psalm 34
1 I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
2 My soul will boast in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.

8 Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
9 Fear the Lord, you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

11 Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16 the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

19 A righteous man may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.

21 Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems his servants;
no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.

God’s Word –   How great is his [her] joy in the victories you give!… Psalm 21:1b

Psalm 21

1 The king rejoices in your strength, Lord.
    How great is his joy in the victories you give!
2 You have granted him his heart’s desire
    and have not withheld the request of his lips.
3 You came to greet him with rich blessings
    and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—
    length of days, for ever and ever.
5 Through the victories you gave, his glory is great;
    you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.
6 Surely you have granted him unending blessings
    and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord;
    through the unfailing love of the Most High
    he will not be shaken.
8 Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies;
    your right hand will seize your foes.
9 When you appear for battle,
    you will burn them up as in a blazing furnace.
The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath,
    and his fire will consume them.
10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
    their posterity from mankind.
11 Though they plot evil against you
    and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed.
12 You will make them turn their backs
    when you aim at them with drawn bow.
13 Be exalted in your strength, Lord;
    we will sing and praise your might.

God’s Word -He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11

Encouragement Shared: You are beautiful because you are fearfully and wonderfully made. It is written in the scriptures and every word of God is truth. Do you find yourself feeling inept about who you are? How you look? Or Even perhaps youR abilities and talents? Well, beloved I am here to encourage you through the word of God which is more profound than anything that anyone can say. It is the word of God that brings us hope through faith and you can find it in God’s word the bible breathed out for you. God has made all things beautiful in its time…He has set eternity in the human heart…He created our inmost being. So be very careful not to be influenced by the media’s view of how we should look, speak, act and work in our daily lives. Fear of man proves to always be a snare. Be very careful in how you judge others, … Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God. 1 Corinthians 4:5
Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance,
In Christ Love,
Jennifer Pettiford

PSALM 139:13-16
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
