♕ Today's Promise: “What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.” The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” Mark 9:23-24

Dear Brides, Do you really believe and have faith in what the Lord says in His word and promises? A way that you can answer this is asking yourself if your life reflects this belief? Don't let doubt cloud your mind and live in the belief that God is faithful!
Sometimes we say we believe and have faith but our lives reflect something different or we let others influence us or believe what they are saying instead. We start to worry and fret and let fear control our lives instead of resting in His arms knowing that He will fill every need that we have. If we live like that then our lives will reflect it. He says that He will supply ALL our needs, whether its finances, love, desires or our biggest need which is HIM!
Giving and especially when we are lacking is also a big part of our faith. He wants us to give even when it seems that we will run out of what we have and what we are giving. This is living by faith, not by sight! This has truly opened my eyes that I don't need to feel like i need to strive to earn or work tirelessly for the things i have, it is He who will give me my every need so why worry or hold back something that I have that I can bless someone else with whether it be finances, time, love, kindness or whatever it is that person needs.
I have let other people and even my lack of things influence my decisions instead of listening to what my HH (Heavenly Husband) says and I'm sure I've missed many blessings because of this. The good thing is that He gives us second, third and more chances to get it right! I never want to take any credit for the things He is doing in my life and so sometimes He has to back us up into a corner so that we can have no way out but turn to Him and also not take His glory for what He is about to do!
I want to give generously when He leads me to. I want to let go of that fear that I will lack if I give something away.
Listening to my HH's voice above all is something I need to be more firm about instead of listening to others and what they believe I should do or not do. I've been getting better at not letting others influence my RJ (restoration journey) and it's because He's changing me and He will complete the work He started in me. I still fail but He picks me back up every time! I love that He gives us so many chances to get it right because He loves us so much. It's so amazing how He gave Michele another chance to grant her desire. He knows that we will mess up but He's so amazing and so gracious that He wants us to be blessed and so He so lovingly has mercy on us when we have little faith in trusting what He tells us, He lets us learn, gives us more chances and still blesses us when we finally get it! I long to hear that gentle whisper from Him everyday!
Dear Brides, Never forget who Your true Husband is! It is only when we forget that we belong to God our Father that we have doubt and fear and lose faith. Remember that He has provided His Son to love us and care for us like no other! Let's live what we say we believe!

This is one of my favorite verses. I feel like it speaks so much to me. I also ask the Lord to help me overcome my unbelief sometimes when submitting the faith that I have alongside my doubt and fear.
