Brave Hearted Steppers confidently know they can come to Jesus for their worries, cares and heavy burdens and He will give them rest. Matthew 11:28-30  

My Father is always working, and so am I” (John 5:17). Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, When we think of the work always, we can think of something or someone being consistent in the pursuit of something. We think that what is always behind us - in-front of us - next to us won’t ever fail. Because it is always working. In this case, when unveiling the word ALWAYS we are unveiling the character of God and his heart for us as his children.  HE is ALWAYS working in our lives  HE is ALWAYS pursuing us  HE is ALWAYS fighting for us  HE is ALWAYS protecting us  HE is ALWAYS working - Jesus is always working - the Holy Spirit is always at work in our lives. Philippians 2:13 reads “For it is God who works in you to will and act in order to fulfill his good purpose.” I want to be in the middle of God’s will for my life.  Anyone else? I want to know what He’s doing and I want to partner with Him in that. So today, we’re going to look at not just that God is working, but...

  Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, How can we cultivate a grateful heart that gives thanks to the Lord with our entire being? Let's start off with the scriptures in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 - Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.  I learned when something comes to mind that causes discontent, disappointment, worry, or anxiety, I turn it into an opportunity to praise God for who He is, and for what He has done and to express thanksgiving. It changed my attitude and gave me a new perspective. Psalm 69:30 says we magnify God with our thanksgiving. That describes a new perspective. My discontent or worry becomes smaller and He becomes greater. For he is a Great God for all that matters. No matter the situation, I find myself experiencing the joy, peace, and contentment that only He can provide. Developing a heart of gratitude very often comes as a result of the struggles that we have gone through.  Many times, we don’t realize how ble...

A Brave Hearted Stepper is forever thankful incredibly grateful and abundantly blessed!

"16 Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Hello Brave Hearted Steppers, As you read the title of this blog post, I'm sure one of the most difficult things to do in life is to live thankfully in all circumstances, especially during a trial or a challenging moment. It can be difficult as it is so easy to let our emotions get in the way and take control of our state of being. But in God, there is a joy (a thankfulness, a grateful heart) that is available to us at any moment wherever we are, no matter how good or bad the situation is, cling onto these verses (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) and be thankful in all circumstances anyway. You might have said to yourself, that being thankful in all circumstances is not possible. I have to say, I have been in those shoes before and I have said that same statement. I've had many trials and challenging moments wher...

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. 2      Worship the LORD with gladness;     come before him with joyful songs. 3  Know that the LORD is God.     It is he who made us, and we are his [a] ;     we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 4  Enter his gates with thanksgiving     and his courts with praise;     give thanks to him and praise his name. 5  For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;     his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 105:1-5 NIV How can I reflect a life that is grateful, in my actions and in what I express in words? I began to list all the things that I am grateful for. My family comes to mind, and when they do, I think of how having been born into it was good even when things were bad. I can be an example to those unsaved on how blessed I am. When I was diagnosed with lung cancer my first thought was, why me, why now. Today I walk in gratitude ...
