I like to share scripture verses through images and post them online. I pray before posting and ask God to carry these "seeds" to whomever he wants to see them, so that he might speak to their hearts.
Please feel free to download and share any Scripture Pix you find here and spread the seeds of encouragement and love.

We know that we can trust the promises of God,
because they are backed by the honor of his Name.
Worship is our weapon against discouragement. If you are facing discouragement today, fight the battle with the weapon of worship. Praise God for what he has done, and watch how your discouragement is turned into courage, your fear is turned to faith, and your anxiety is turned into peace.
Because of Jesus we need not be afraid to approach God. He invites us to come to him boldly and with confidence. That's life-changing!
Be holy? Now, that's a tall order! But not so much when you know the biblical meaning of holiness.
It doesn't mean perfect living, it means that Christians live a life that is set apart, reserved to give glory to God. It is a life of discipline, focus, and attention to matters of righteous living. It's a life fully surrendered to God in a way that transforms our lives to God’s glory rather than conforming our lives to the ways of the world.
Still sound like a tall order?. Well, it kind of is, but don't worry - it's the Lord at work in us that brings holiness about. Our part is just to stay close to him and cooperate when he points out something in our lives that needs to change. He will work in us to bring us to holiness.
Oh yeah- and that part about being at peace with everyone. He meant that.
He has carried me through thick and thin, from birth to gray hair, and I have no doubt that He will carry me past death and into Heaven.
The biggest cause of faith being wasted is one’s inability to recognize that, while God created logic, He is not bound by it. While God created our ability to reason, our ability to reason does not supersede God’s power. While God created our senses, our senses do not dictate God’s behavior, nor do our senses perceive all that God is doing.
(excerpt from Fueled by Faith on YouVersion bible app Bible.com)
Tired of living a life you're not proud of?
God is ready to forgive and refresh your life.
All you have to do is...
Why does it sometimes seem as if God is so far away when you're going through a stormy season in life? Didn't he promised To be with us always? (Isaiah 41:10)
And why does he hide himself In times of trouble? Perhaps we feel this way because we are so focused on the storm that we can't discern His presence. What can we do?
There's a lot of wickedness strutting around these days,
approving and honoring what is vile before God.
But God is still in control. In the end, the wicked will pay.
