“You freed me when I was hemmed in and enlarged me when I was in distress.” Psalms 4:1 AMP

The hermit crab looks for a shell that fits him, then lives in it until he outgrows it. When God says it’s time to move on, it’s because there’s another shell out there that will fit you even better. But you can’t take occupancy until you vacate the old one. So how about it – are you ready for bigger things?

“And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.” Mark 11:25

How heavy is a glass of water? That depends on how long I have to carry it. A minute is no problem, and after an hour my arm might ache. But after 24 hours, I’d probably be in bad shape!

“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in peace!” Psalm 133:1 NIRV “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in peace!” Psalm 133:1 NIRV

You’ll notice we say ‘brother’ and ‘sister’ ’round here; It’s because we’re a family: these folks are so dear. When one has a heartache, we all share the tears And rejoice in each victory in this family so near – Gaither.

“… you are precious to Me. You are honoured, and I love you.” Isaiah 43:4 NLT

God wants to give us a sense of self-esteem built on His esteem. If we ask God to tell us who we are and what we’re worth, He’ll say, “You are precious to Me. You are honoured, and I love you.” That’s God’s opinion – He invites you to make it yours!

“Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Proverbs 11:2 NLT

FB Meyer said, “I used to think God’s gifts were on shelves, one above the other, and the taller we grew the more easily we could reach them. I now find they’re on shelves, one beneath the other, and it’s not a question of growing taller but stooping lower.”
