Daily Meditations of a Nurse Warrior

Songs can speak to us in many ways, such as motivate, soothe, inspire, calm, comfort, and so forth; but the true benefit and opportunity comes when we sing to one another, with psalms and hymns, and make music from our hearts to the Lord (see Ephesians 5:15-19). #findyoursong #listencarefully & #singaway

Needing to make a change? Whether shattered by your own hand or another's, He is ready and willing to take away the old and bring in the new (see 2 Corinthians 5:17). If you want a better life, allow Him to help give you a new future (see 2:14-15). #wantbetter #makethechange

If we look up high enough, above our circumstances, we can see our Maker, the One who, every day and always, watches over us coming and going (see Psalm 121: 2, 8). #lookhigher & #seewhatyouaremissing

How do you handle conflict? Having self-control, gentleness, and patience, as we try to settle disputes or resolve conflict, is preparing us for a future with great responsibility. One day, "The Lord's people will judge the world" (1 Corinthians 6:2). #creatingpeaceis #worththeeffort

We all run the risk of becoming bitter, just as Naomi, "Mara" did (see Ruth 1:3-5 & 20-21). It is when we chose to acknowledge our feelings and thoughts and reveal to God what is in our hearts that we are able to "Get rid of all bitterness" (Ephesians 4:31). #deal #dig & #dump

We are all someone who are seen and have a purpose. Hebrews 6:10 reminds us that "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people." Continue to do good and remain faithful and steadfast because your works will never go unnoticed. #nooneisinvisiblewithGod

Wherever we are, He is always near and ready to serve. Whenever in need, just "sound the trumpets," (Numbers 10:10), because He always hears (see 1 Peter 3:12) and answers them. #ready & #responsive

It is truly amazing the love that we have for our children; and in the same breath, 1 John 3:1 reminds us to "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" Just as we are to our children, so is God to us. Consider sharing that same love with others. #truelove #sacrifice #gratitude

Has life soured you; and In need of softening? Look no further. When you take the time to do something, such as praying and reading scripture, consider listening, and with time, along with being patient, faithful, and dedicated, your life will begin to overflow with joy and delight, just as He will be when you do so (see Jeremiah 15:16). #findsweetnessagain

Whether we notice or not, we are role models to everyone we meet. Doing so provides us with the opportunity to impact others, especially when we "worship the Lord with gladness" (Psalm 100:2). #goodnessandkindnessiscontagious & #peoplewilllikeandfollow
