From the Founder... Rose Britner

Are you looking to people or circumstances around you to satisfy your desires? People are limited, but God in Heaven has an unlimited supply to fill you with the ability to face your every need. When He fills you, the result is peace, joy, stability and confidence. You will become confident knowing that God is able to take complete care of you as well as everything and everyone that concerns you. People make mistakes and they will let you down. Set your affections on God and be guaranteed that you will not be devastated by disappointment.
Colossians 3:2 "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth."
When you set your affections on God you are actually expecting to receive from Him, not from the people around you. By doing this, you release your expectations of others into God's complete care. You are actually letting them off the hook from your own personal expectations. Absolutely no one can touch you like Jesus can. Jesus wants to completely satisfy your soul. Will you allow yourself to be joined together with Him allowing nothing to separate you from His love?
Romans 8:38,39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
This kind of convincing confidence only comes when you set your affections on things above. Release those around you, and trust totally in your Lord and Savior. He knows your entire life story from beginning to end. You can trust Him because His love is better than anything you could ever receive from anyone in this world.
Psalms 63: 3-5 "Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you."
I encourage you to enjoy today. Receive peace and confidence as you trust in your Lord and Savior. Your life is in the palm of His hands! Allow Him to be the one to satisfy you because His love is better than life.
Be encouraged!
