Talk To Me

Wave Rage Plumeria



"Talk to Me more during the day.  Look up into My Face - a look of Love, a feeling of security, a thrill of Joy at the sense of the nearness of My Presence - these are your best prayers. Let these smooth the day's work, then fear will vanish, and fear is the grim figure that turns aside success."




Meaning to me: Evil will be vanquished if you continue to praise God and seek Joy. Evil kills success. Joy brings you nearest to God.



 
"Go forward, you are beginning a new Life. Joy, Joy, Joy."




Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me. - Psalm 50:23

Regret Nothing

Vanda Ruffles Plumeria

 
"Regret nothing. Not even the sins and failures.  When a man views earth's wonders from some mountain height he does not spend his time in dwelling on the stones and stumbles, the faints and failures, that marked his upward path. So with you.  Breathe in the rich blessings of each new day - forget all that lies behind you."




Meaning to me: God does not want you to fret and worry about what is in the past. He only wants you to go forward and breath in each new day with Him.




 
"Be used by all, by the lowest and the smallest. How best can you serve? Let that be your daily seeking."




This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind ...
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of
God in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 3:13,14

for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. -  Hebrews 13:5

Rooted

Ted Chinn Plumeria




"Remember the lesson of the seed too in its sending a shoot down so that it may be rooted and grounded, while at the same time it sends a shoot up to be the plant and flower that shall gladden the world. Beware of the leaves and flowers without the strong root."

Never Relinquish

Meaning to me: Always continue to push forward in Faith no matter how hard or how tough your problem is. Nothing is beyond your power that God has put in front of you.


 
"Nearness to Me brings sweetness, confidence, and peace into life."




And Jesus said unto them ...
If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ...
nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Matthew 17:20

Abundance

Queen Cherry Plumeria



"I give with a large Hand and Heart.  Note the draught of fishes.  The net brake, the boat began to sink with the lavishness of My Gift.  Lose sight of all limitations. Abundance is God's Supply.  Turn out all limited thoughts.  Receive showers and in your turn - shower."



Meaning to me: God gives in abundance and in full supply. In return - give back.




"Put all fear of the future aside. Know that you will be led. I have promised."

His Family

Oahu Starburst Plumeria

"Do you want to make the best of Life? Then live near to Me the Master and Giver of all Life."

when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall receive them. - Mark 11:24

"To see Me you must bring Me your cares and show Me your heart of Trust.  Then, as you leave your cares, you become conscious of My Presence."

"Walk in My Love. That walk becomes a glad conquering and triumphant march."

Meaning to me: Out of the storms of life, God lifts you up and sets you on your path to happiness.

Calm Trust

Cyndi Moragne Plumeria



"When man wants evil destroyed so often he rushes to action.  It is wrong. First be still and know that I am God. Then act only as I tell you. Always calm with God. Calm is trust in action. Only trust, perfect trust can keep one calm."



Meaning to me: When meanness, rudeness, evil, or any other bad act occurs to you, try to stay calm and do not react quickly. By doing so, God can help you and guide you to the right actions. Trust in God by staying calm in a bad situation waiting for His guidance.




"A false word, a fear-inspired failure, or a harsh criticism, these are the causes of distances between you and Me."




Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way,
and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.  - Jeremiah 6:16

All Is Well

Banana Ripple Plumeria

"I am leading you. Fear nothing. Hope ever. Look to Me and I will be sure to aid."

Claim The Power


Audrey Plumeria



"Remember that I can work through you better when you are at rest. Go very slowly, very quietly from one duty to the next - taking the time to rest and pray between. Do not be too busy. Take all in order as I say. The Rest of God is in a realm beyond all man's activities. Venture there often, and you will indeed find Peace and Joy. All work that results from resting with God is miracle-work.  Claim the power to work miracles, both of you."



Meaning to me: Going non-stop leaves no time for God to work within you. Take time to be with God.




"Every fear is a crime against My Love. Practice saying "All is well". Say it until you believe it. Know it."




And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse ... and his rest shall be glorious. - Isaiah 11:10

Against The Tide

US Hwy 1 Plumeria



"The oarsman, trusting in Me, does not lean on his oars and drift with the tide, trusting to the current. Nay, more often - once I have shown the way - it is against the tide you must direct all your effort.  And even when difficulties come, it is by your effort that they will be surmounted.  But always strength and the Joy in the doing you can have through Me."





Meaning to me: Going with the flow will not get you any more than if you fight against the tide. If you need to fight to go forward, do so. God is there to reward your efforts.




"Dwell apart with Me. From these times you come forth in Power to bless and heal."




For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.  - Philippians 2:13

Delighted

Symphony Plumeria



"Keep the eye of your spirit ever upon Me, the window of your soul open towards Me. You have ever to know that all things are yours - that what is lovely I delight to give you. Empty your mind of all that limits. Whatever is beautiful you can have. Leave more and more the choice to Me. You will have no regrets."

Learn Of Me

Queenie J Plumeria



"Cease trying to forgive those who fretted or wronged you.  It is a mistake to think about it.  Aim at killing the self now - in your daily life, and then, and not until then, you will find there is nothing that even remembers injury, because the only one injured, the self, is dead. As long as it recurs to your mind you deceive yourself if you think it forgiven."



Meaning to me: You know its very hard to forgive and even harder to forget. When you think of past hurts from others, think of God and let those feelings pass.




"Learn of Me. Not by reasoning or reading but by living with Me and sharing your life with Me."




Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might
 be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. - Romans 6:6

No Denial

Nannette Plumeria

 
"Delay is not denial - not even withholding. It is the opportunity for God to work out your problems and accomplish your desires in the most wonderful way possible for you."



Meaning to me:  If things are working out the way you hoped or troubles are not passing as quickly as you hoped, remember God is not withholding his glory onto you, he is waiting for the optimal time.






"Seek Me early before I get crowded out by life's troubles, difficulties, and pleasures."




For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than
 your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.  Isaiah 55:9
