Messages from Mimi ~ 2023

1/1/23     The slate is clean, Lord. The calendar is bare. Bless the new year that beckons. I sing of You as help in ages past but need to know You as hope for years to come. Help me face what I must, celebrate every triumph I can, and make any changes I need. Amen

1/2/23     Wherever you are, ENJOY THE MOMENT. I am sure of this, He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion. (Phil 1:6)

1/3/23     As I journey along the path of Life, I’ll search for signs of Your loving Presence. I delight in finding the little blessings You sprinkle along my way. I’ll thank You for each one. This keeps me close to You and helps me find Joy in my journey. --Kenzie

1/4/23     God, enable me to honor You in all I do. Help me bear fruit for Your Kingdom, and grant me strength, steadfastness, and patience.

1/5/23     I rest in Your presence, soaking in Your love that freely flows into my empty spaces with joyous worship. I rejoice that I am perfectly known and forever loved.

1/7/23     We are chosen daughters of the Most High God. We each have a divine purpose to fulfill. Our busyness cannot alter God’s plan for our lives.

1/9/23     Though You are always beside me, You also go before me—clearing away obstacles on my path ahead. I trust You are making the conditions the very best for accomplishing Your ways in my life.

1/10/23   What makes us special is the signature of God on our lives. Be a blank canvas on which He can write His name.

1/11/23   Reach out and be a blessing to someone today. Text, call, write, give a gift…be that silver lining on their dark cloud. Act out of pure love.

1/12/23   My busy mind tends to make various plans about the way I should go but You are the One Who directs my steps and makes them sure.

1/14/23   I want to relax in Your Presence and trust You to help me deal with problems as they come. Use them to transform me from one degree of Glory to another, making me useable for Your Kingdom.

1/15/23   When I practice thankfulness consistently, negative thought patterns gradually grow weaker and weaker. A grateful heart opens up the way for me to draw nearer to You. Your glorious Presence fills me with Joy and Peace.

1/16/23   Nothing lifts me out of the doldrums faster than thanking and praising You. As I seek Your Face, I’m blessed to hear Your loving Words of instruction: Enter My gates with Thanksgiving and My courts with Praise.

1/17/23   Almighty God, You truly are the Potter and I am the clay. Mold me and make me into the person You want me to be. May my clay vessel reflect Your light like fine porcelain China.

1/18/23   Lord, despite the ups and downs of daily life, “my times are in Your hands.” Make Your face shine upon me today.

1/19/23   Live your faith boldly with love, mercy, and grace that points people to Jesus.

1/21/23   Though You inhabit all space and time, You communicate with me here and now. Please train me to keep my focus on You and on the path ahead as I follow in Your footsteps.

1/22/23   Live every day knowing you are a beloved child of the King of kings, always welcome to enter into His Presence!

1/23/23   Please train me to respond to my blessings with gratitude and prepare me to let go of anything without letting go of Your hand!

1/24/23   Even tho I’m a new creation, I’m only at the beginning of my walk with You. Renew me daily in the attitude of my mind and heart so I will be pleasing to You.

1/26/23   You are my Light. As I keep turning toward You, the glory of Your Presence shines on me. Help my light to shine on others today.

1/29/23   Life is not a tightrope walk across a deep canyon. It is a journey we can confidently take step by step with our loving Father as our Guide.

1/30/23   Worship is not only a precious gift to God, but it also changes us. Whether we kneel with heads bowed low or stand with hands held high, we declare He alone is worthy of our praise.

1/31/23   Having friends gives us an opportunity to let them see Jesus in us, to feel our spirits, to be touched by our love and caring. Many doors have been opened in the hearts of our friends when we share Jesus with others.

2/1/23     Whether a storm is raging in outside circumstances or inside my heart, Your Words “Peace! Be still!” speaks to me and the storm must obey!

2/3/23     While I walk this intimate journey with You, I’m blessed and strengthened by Your promise that the path I’m following is heading for heaven.

2/5/23     God must be overjoyed when His children respond with a thankful heart. Bring to my mind, Lord, all I need to be thankful for.

2/6/23     Worship the One Who knows you completely, knowing you are covered in His steadfast love.

2/7/23     LOVE well…LAUGH often…LOOK for the miraculous…LIVE your life for Christ! –Karen Kingsbury

2/8/23     I rejoice that You have adopted me into Your royal family. I want to live in ways that help others see You as the Source of abundant, never-ending Life!

2/9/23     Lighthouses blow no horns, they only shine. Let your light so shine before others that they will see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

2/10/23   When God looks at you, He sees the beauty of His Son who has washed you whiter than snow…He sees His chosen daughter…He gazes on you with all His love…and smiles. 😊

2/11/23   What is your life worth? Jesus Christ, the sinless Lamb of God, willingly left the glory of heaven to pay the price for what your life is worth. He values you. 😊

2/12/23   To a loved one, a word of affection is a morsel. To the love-starved, a word of affection can be a feast.

2/13/23   You created me in Your image with an amazing brain to think rationally, create things, make decisions, and communicate with You. The joy I have in You here and now is just a foretaste of the vast eternal pleasures awaiting me in heaven.

2/14/23   Happy Valentine's Day

2/15/23   God Himself will look you in the eye and bless you with the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant!” (Mt 25:23)

2/16/23   Always pray to have eyes that see the best in people, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith in God.

2/17/23   “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you.” (Ez 36:26) After this transplant, your new heart becomes capable of perfect love. You can love the unlovable, be kind to the unkind, and forgive the unforgiveable.

2/18/23   Praying God’s joy and peace over you today. You are such a blessing and God blesses you because of His deep love for you!

2/20/23   If God is able to hang the stars in the sky and suspend the sky like a curtain, He is mighty enough to light your path, guide your life, and meet your needs. 😊

 2/21/23   Imagine what heaven must be like. Then smile as the Father reminds you…“No one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him…”

 2/22/23   One of the Supreme promises of God is, if you have given your heart to Jesus, Jesus has given Himself to you. He has moved in and unpacked His bags. He lives in you and is ready to change you into His likeness.

 2/26/23   Don’t just know about God (head) but experience His loving Presence. Stay in communication with Him continually (heart). Let God’s love flow thru you to others.

 2/27/23   In this very moment, close your eyes and meditate on the gift of God’s presence.

 2/28/23   Thank You Almighty God for loving little us, for having a heart so overflowing that there is abundant love for each and every one of us.

 3/1/23     May we, like the Son of God, rely on the Word of God, to stand against the enemy of God.

 3/2/23     Lord, instead of experiencing only a short-lived burst of gratitude, I want to learn to remain in an attitude of thankful joy—letting my gratefulness spill over into the future. Gratefulness blesses me doubly.

 3/3/23     Lord, You say, “I have called you by name; you are Mine! You have inscribed me on the palms of Your hands. Nothing can separate me from Your loving hands. Nothing can separate me from Your loving Presence!” Thank You, Lord, for this blessed knowledge.

 3/4/23     The more I trust You, the less afraid I will be. Please help me relax in Your sovereignty remembering that You go before me, as well as with me into each day.

 3/5/23     Show me how to relax more, trusting in Your control over my life. There is joy in Your presence.

 3/6/23     Your endless love satisfies me immensely. It reminds me that I am treasured and significant. I delight in the wonderous truth that nothing in all creation can separate me from Your love.

 3/7/23     You can have a tremendous positive effect upon those around you. Everything becomes clearer and brighter when you speak loving, caring words.

 3/8/23     Thank You for giving me a significant part to play in this world. Help me lead the life You have assigned to me in joyful dependence on You.

 3/9/23     Could God have done more than send His Son to save us…than give His Word to teach us…than orchestrate events to awaken us…than send His Holy Spirit to counsel us? No! He has done everything it takes to help us see His will for our lives.

 3/10/23   God loves you and likes having you around. He thinks you are the best. He sends you flowers in the spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He listens. He can live anywhere in the universe and He chose your heart.

 3/11/23   God patiently waits for us to run our race, become fatigued in the process, and then turn our focus back to Him. He is always there waiting for our return.

 3/12/23   You are the One that completes me. You are training me to bring my thoughts back to You whenever they wander from Your presence. Keep me safe and near.

3/13/23    Everything seems nicer and brighter when you're around.

3/15/23   Walking in the Light of Your Presence blesses me in many ways. Good things are better and bad things become more bearable when I share them with You. I’m able to love others more fully and I’m less likely to stumble and fall in Your Holy Light.

3/16/23   Jesus has come to set you on fire. He walks as a Torch from ♥ to ♥ warming the cold and stirring the ashes to illuminate your path toward His will.

3/17/23   Special people like you make life sweeter; encourage one another and build each other up. (1 Thes 5:11)

3/18/23    Each of us matters to God.

3/19/23    We're better together! ...for if one falls, the other will lift him up. (Ecc 4:10)

3/20/23   Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.

3/21/23   God is your Protector. He will not let you go down the wrong road but will keep you on the straight and narrow path, holding you in the palm of His hand.

3/22/23   JESUS is your best Friend and His unwavering presence is your one true Anchor in life. Hold tight!

3/23/23   I am intimately involved in all your moments. Remain focused on Me. Whisper My name. I am with you.

3/24/23   Regardless of the circumstances, take a stand and do what is right and honest and true! Your conscience will thank you for it.

3/25/23   The power of prayer does not depend on the one who makes the prayer but on the One Who hears the prayer.

3/26/23   Thank You, Lord, that Your angels guard me in all my ways. I trust You to open up the way before me, keeping me safe in all my travels.

3/27/23   Remember that you live in a world where your spiritual enemies never declare a truce. Stay alert, put on the full armor of God. Stand your ground. Trust and have confidence that God is with you. Hold fast to His hand. Therein lies your victory!

3/28/23   Help me to recognize the positive gifts and insights of others and to follow in their footsteps.

3/29/23   Respond to your blessings with gratitude and let go of negatives without letting go of God’s hand!

3/30/23   All of us have someone we follow. We also leave footsteps to guide others. None of us are the first to walk the trail and none should be left to walk the trail alone. That’s discipleship.

4/4/23     Train the eyes of my heart to see Your blessings in my everyday walk with You.

4/5/23     Always put yourself in other’s shoes. If you feel it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.

4/6/23     Live in such a way that those who know you, but don’t know God, will come to know God, because they know you.

4/7/23     Always pray to have eyes to see the best in people, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith in God.

4/8/23        If you give more of yourself to God, God will give more of Himself to you.

9/14/23    What you pour into your mind, is what comes out of your mouth. Be watchful over both.

10/13/23  Only when we overcome difficult times will we understand why they were there.

10/14/23  Pay it forward; it’s about caring and sharing; it’s about compassion and kindness; it’s about generosity; it’s about sacrifice…and love. You get what you give so give good!

10/15/23  Comparison is the thief of joy. So go out there and be wonderful, individual you!

10/16/23  As you pray, realize you're going into the very presence of a holy God. How would you voice your prayers then…rote or sacred?

10/17/23  Pray God’s perfect will be accomplished in every area of your life.

11/11/23  Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.

11/12/23  You are loved by the Lord and rest securely beside Him, for He shields you all day long.

11/13/23  Thank You for Your example of sacrificial love and help me to love others in the same way.

11/14/23  You will find it is necessary to let things go, simply for the reason they are too heavy for you to bare.

11/28/23  If you connect your self-worth to what other people think, you will never be truly happy.

11/29/23  When asked if my cup is half-full or half-empty, my only response is that I am thankful I have a cup.
