Morning Blessing: May you pause today, step back for a moment, and look above your disappointments, hurts, and heartaches. Do you see Jesus in this place? He is... with you, for you, and will surely sustain you. He intends to strengthen your faith, sturdy your frame, and stir up a fresh passion for His Name. He is stronger than your fears, greater than your hurts, and deeper than your insecurities. And He has you in His hand. You're strong in Him, safe with Him, and established because of Him. May Jesus open a window of heaven and give you a glimpse of who you are because you're His. He sings over you and in due time, He will deliver you. May a renewed perspective be yours today! #SusieLarsonBlessings Psalm 46:5 ESV ~ God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.

Evening Blessing: May you pause and reflect on the wonder of what it means to have Christ-in-you! May His peace abide in you and restore your soul. May His heal...ing come alive in you and make you whole. May His strength rise up in you and make you strong! And may His love overwhelm you and fill your heart with a new song! #SusieLarsonBlessings Micah 5:4 ~ He will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. And they will live securely, for then his greatness will reach to the ends of the earth.

So Ruth went out to gather grain behind the harvesters. And as it happened, she found herself working in a field that belonged to Boaz, the relative of her fath...er-in-law, Elimelech. Ruth 2:3 Ruth was a foreignerand new in town. However, she was so committed to her grieving mother-in-law that she boldly took initiative and went out among strangers to gather grain. And, as it happened, she ended up working in a field owned by a relative of her father-in-law, Boaz. Boaz noticed Ruth right away. It takes honor to notice honor in another. He looked past Ruth’s ethnicity and social class and saw what God saw: honor, humility, courage, and conviction. Boaz stepped up and made sure Ruth would be protected and provided for. Ruth took initiative; God took it from there. Isn’t it amazing that when we take faith risks to follow God wholeheartedly, He leads us even when we’re unaware? He guards and He guides; He protects and provides. One day we’ll get to heaven and absolutely marvel at God’s intervention in our lives. But for now, we must rest assured that when our hearts are fully set on the Lord, He will be our good Shepherd every step of the way. #SusieLarsonQuotes #PREVAIL

Morning Blessing: May you choose joy today because in Christ Jesus, you're stronger than you know! May you engage your faith today, because God moves when you p...ray in faith.

You're wrapped up in God's promises, strengthened by His care, and called by His divine will. Everything you need you already have in Him. Have a holy-confident, humbly joyful day today! You're amazing in Him! #SusieLarsonBlessings 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 NLT~ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.

Morning Blessing: May you--more and more in the days ahead--take your cues from God (and not from culture), and become a powerful, praying saint! May you dream ...big dreams with God! May you pray prayers that make your knees buckle and your heart tremble as you entrust your whole soul and story to the God of the Universe. He intends to solve some of the world's problems through you. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord raises a standard against him. This is no time for cowering in fear. This is a time to rise up in faith! Trust God's Word. Believe His promises. Do what He says. And in due time, you'll see the waters part, the mountains move, and the answers you've been waiting for. You are mighty in God. Walk full-of-faith today! #SusieLarsonBlessings Isaiah 59:19 ESV ~ So they shall fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come like a rushing stream, which the wind of the LORD drives.
