By Chance

Jeannie Moragne Plumeria

"Nothing is by chance."

Meaning to me: Know that God works for you. Things that happen in your life are there to teach you and guide you to where God wants you to be. Listen.

"Learn calm. All great work for Me is done first in the soul of the individual."

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of
peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. - Jeremiah 29:11

Retreat

Monterrey Plumeria

"Plan both of your retreat days now and then - days when you live apart with Me, and arise rested and refreshed - physically, mentally, and spiritually, to carry on the work I have given to you. I will never give you a load greater than you can bear."

Meaning to me: Take the time to sit with God. Sit in silence with Him and be with Him. From that time spent, you are rested and ready to take on anything life throws at you.

"Go back into silence to recover calm. You accomplish more by this than by all the activities of a long day."

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God
is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above
that ye are able. - 1 Corinthians 10:13

Steps

Palomar Plumeria

"Never fear, whatever may happen. You are both being led. Do not try to plan. I have planned. You are the builder, not the Architect."

Meaning to me: Whatever direction you are going, know that it is being planned by God. Don't be fearful of the direction you are going, you will be led in the right direction. Trust that this is true.

"Your need is My chance to help. Faith is all I need to manifest My Power."

Waiting

Makaha Sunn Plumeria - For Rell Sunn

"And the weary and disappointed who listen and turn to Me find indeed that rest. Joy of the Weary I am, Music to the Heart I am, Health to the Sick, Wealth to the Poor, Food to the Hungry, Home to the Wanderer, Rapture to the Jaded, Love to the Lonely."

Meaning to me: God is there just waiting to serve you and guide you. Trust Him.

Ask

Slaughter Pink Plumeria

"Be not afraid. Fear not. It is to the drowning man the Rescuer comes. To the brave swimmer who can fare well alone He comes not. And no rush of Joy can be like that of a man towards his Rescuer."

Meaning to me: You think you can handle your problems yourself without asking for help from God. You hold on to the notion that you can fix things by yourself with no help from anyone. The person who thinks this, help will not come. By letting God help you and asking for God's help, the feeling of knowing its coming is a great joy.

 

"So often people cry out for some blessing, but hold so tight to some earth-treasure that they have no hand to receive Mine as I hold it out in Love."

Stay Calm

California Pink Pastel Plumeria

Happiness Now

Yolanda's White Plumeria - For Yolanda

"My followers have misunderstood that, and looked too often upon that promise as referring only to an After-Life, and too often - far too often - upon this life as a something to be struggled through in order to get the reward and the joy of the next.

Meaning to me: Don't just walk through this life thinking it is only a struggle to get to some after life promise. God wants you to be happy and enjoy your life in the world now through knowing Him. Enjoy life now and enjoy the promise of after life.

"Each day is a day of steady progress. You may not see it but I do. Persevere. Love and laugh."

 your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which
 is your reasonable service." - Romans 12:1

Each Step

Kamiyama Rainbow Plumeria - For Wendie

  

"I am your Guide. Do not want to see the road ahead. Go just one step at a time. I rarely grant the long vista to My disciples, especially in personal affairs, for one step at a time is the best way to cultivate Faith."

Meaning to me: With each faithful step, God reveals the future. He doesn't show you the full picture of your future. By having faith in God in each step along the way you see that God is leading you in the right direction. You can be assured through that faith that you will be okay no matter what life brings you.

"Be calm, be true, be quiet. I watch over you."

He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth

"All power is given unto Me. It is Mine to give, Mine to withhold, but even I have to acknowledge that I cannot withhold it from the soul that dwells near Me, because it is then not a gift, but passes insensibly from Me to My disciples."

Meaning to me: God will never withhold his glorious powers to those who dwell in Him consistently.

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. - Psalm 91:1

Gray Days

Meaning to me: It is easy being thankful on happy, good days and rejoice in God's good favor. But the true test is being thankful on your worst days - your grayest - days knowing that God is with you even in your worst of times. Knowing this and thanking God during these hard times, God is there and strengthens and helps you.

"Seek Me, Love Me, Joy in Me. I am your Guide."

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy
God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold
thee with the right hand of my righteousness. - Isaiah 41:10

Think

San Diego Sunset Plumeria



"Think Love, and Love surrounds you, and all about whom you think. Think thoughts of ill-will and ill surrounds you, and those about whom you think. Think health - health comes. The physical reflects the mental and spiritual."

Meaning to me: How you think is how you are ... that simple.

"I am with you to guide and help you. Leave your foolish fears and trust in Me."

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. - Proverbs 23:7

Call On Me

Kohala Red Plumeria

"None ever sought Me in vain. I wait, wait with a hungry longing to be called upon; and I, who have already seen your hearts' needs before you cried upon Me, before perhaps you were conscious of those needs yourself, I am already preparing the answer."

Meaning to me: You call upon God when you are in trouble. And God waits for that call and is ready and willing to answer you because he already knows your trouble and has your answer. Call on God immediately as He already knows and has your answer.

 

"The way may seem long, but it is not one inch too long. Not only am I with you on the journey. I planned the journey."

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the
power that worketh in us." Ephesians 3:20

My Gift

             "Just trust. I cannot and will not fail you."

"Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him:
 but the just shall live by his faith." - Habakkuk 2:4

Love & Trust

Kaneohe Sunburst Plumeria

"Love and Trust are the solvents for the worry and cares and frets of a life. Apply them at once. You are channels and though the channel may not be altogether blocked, fret and impatience and worry corrode, and in time would become beyond your help."

Meaning to me: With all the worries and problems you might have in life, you really need to love and trust. If you don't, those worries and problems may become overwhelming and difficult to get rid of. Trust in God with all your heart and lean on Him, not on your own thoughts and ideas. Don't lose heart. God will direct you.


  

"I shower Love on you. Pass Love on."

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto
thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths." - Proverbs 3:5,6

 

 

Nothing Too Small

Puu Kahea Plumeria

"Nothing in the day is too small to be a part of My scheme. The little stones in a mosaic play a big part."



  
Meaning to me: Every tiny thing in your life is part of God's scheme of life for you, even the tiniest, most unimportant things make up the big picture He has planned for you. Don't overlook the small things in life. Take time to notice that God's hand has touched those things as well.

"Life knows no greater Joy than you will find in conversation and companionship with Me."

Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh;
is there any thing too hard for me? - Jeremiah 32:27

 

Endless Power

Irma Bryant Plumeria

"Claim My power. The same power with which I cast out devils is yours today. Use it.  If not, I withdraw it. Use it ceaselessly."

Meaning to me: Read God's words. Read them again and again. Their meaning will become clear. Use those meanings and His power.

"Meditate on all I say. Not to draw your own conclusions, but to absorb Mine."

Jesus came and spoke with them, saying, All power
is given unto me in heaven and in earth.  Matthew 28:18

Glorious

Grove Farm Plumeria

"It is not life and its difficulties you have to conquer, only the self in you. As I said to My disciples, "I have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now."  You could not understand them. But as you go on obeying Me and walking with Me, and listening to Me, you will, and then you will see how glorious, how marvelous My revelations are, and My teachings."

Meaning to me: All things may not be clear to you now. But with continued faith, you will see the great things He has for you and us all.

"I am the center of everyone's life, but so many are distracted by the sense-life that they do not find Me."

I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ
Jesus our Lord, I die daily.  1 Corinthians 15:31

Strength



Cindy Moragne Plumeris

 "My Strength is the same as that in which I conquered Satan in the Wilderness - depression and sorrow in the Garden, and even Death on Calvary."

in Christ Jesus concerning you.  1Thessalonias 5:18

In Silence

"There may come times when you sit in silence, when it seems as if you were left alone. Then, I command you to remember I have spoken to you."

Give Freely

Kauka Wilder Plumeria



"Do not be afraid of poverty. Let money flow freely. I will let it flow in but you must let it flow out. I never send money to stagnate - only to those who pass it on.  Keep nothing for yourself. Hoard nothing. Only have what you need and use."

Meaning to me: As hard as it is sometimes not to worry about paying the bills and having money to live, God says to trust him and let money flow from your hands. And if done, He will let it money flow back in to you. Trust in knowing that and feel His love.

"The best cure for worry is to inwardly feel My Love for you."

 

Commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in him;
and he shall bring it to pass.  Psalm 37:5

The Way Will Unfold

Tomlinson Plumeria

"All is well.  Wonderful things are happening. Do not limit God at all. He cares and provides. Uproot self - the channel blocker. Do not plan ahead, the way will unfold step by step. Leave tomorrow's burden. Christ is the Great burden bearer. You cannot bear His load and He only expects you to carry a little day-share."

Meaning to me: Try not let worry about what may be ahead trying to figure out what to do about them. Don't let your worries and burdens move into your future. Each day the plan will be clear if you give your burdens and worries to God and let him lead the way taking your worries and burdens upon his shoulders. By depending on God to lead the way - good things happen.

"All sacrifice and suffering is redemptive. It is used to either teach the individual or to help others. Nothing is by chance."

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

Just Like A Child

Madam Poni Plumeria

"Take heart. God loves, God helps, God fights, God wins.  You shall see.  You shall know. The way will open. All My Love has ever planned, all My Love has ever thought, you shall see each day unfold. Only be taught. Just like a child. A child never questions plans. It accepts gladly."

Meaning to me: Know that God is always there and accept it - do not question it. Look to God for your plan, not the physical world.

"Love, Joy, Peace are won on the battlefield of the soul, not in rushing or striving in the physical world."

Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a
little child, he shall not enter therein.  Mark 10:15

Love & Laugh

Heidi Plumeria

"Refuse to be downcast. Refuse to be checked in your upward climb. Love and laugh. I am with you. I bear your burdens. Cast your burden upon Me and I will sustain thee. And then in very lightheartedness you turn and help another with the burden that is pressing too heavily upon him or her."

Meaning to me: Don't be sad, don't worry. When you can't carry your troubles with you any further, give them to God. Then  ...  try to lighten someone else's burden.

"Trust Me. You are not at the mercy of fate. You are being led. Those who do not serve your purpose are moved out of your path."

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine
heart; wait, I say, on the Lord.   Psalm 27:14

A New Year Begins

Polynesian White Plumeria

"Dwell not on the past - only on the present. Only use the past as the trees use My Sunlight to absorb it, to make from it in after days the warming fire-rays. So store only the blessings from Me, the Light of the World. Encourage yourselves by the thought of these."

Meaning to me: Go forward in the New Year keeping the blessings of God with you. Don't dwell on things of the past year that did not work out for you or hurt you. Let the good memories continue to warm your heart. Learn from the past, absorb the lessons, and be encouraged and hopeful for the new year ahead.

"I hold the year in My Hands in trust for you. But I shall guide you one day at a time. Each day I supply the wisdom and the strength."

I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk
 in darkness, but shall have the light of life.  John 8:12
