But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
I Thess. 5:8
Does your heart ever get hurt by people’s words or actions?
Do you ever find your mind filled with worry or doubt?
I love that God offers protection for both our heart and our mind.
Faith, Hope, and Love……
We need them all, don’t we?
Today, remember all the ways God has been there for you in the past even in the toughest times (we’re not promised an easy road just a road we don’t have to walk alone). When you remember these moments, your faith will grow.
Think of your love for the people you hold dearest in your heart then multiply that love times a billion several times and you will have a fraction of the love God has for you…..
Put both this faith and this love in front of you as you face the world………..
Let them protect you. You are not alone.
I love Psalm 18:2829
You, LORD, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.
With your help I can advance against a troop;
with my God I can scale a wall.
Picture yourself advancing with your heart protected by faith and love. I love this image!
Then figuratively slip on your helmet, the Hope of your salvation!
How can my mind wander when my every thought is wrapped securely in His Hope!
The slogan for the high school I teach at is this,
“It has to be a new day….”
Friends, God has the same slogan!
“His mercy is new every morning!!”
We belong to the day………..this new day!
Protect yourself with faith, hope, and love!
In Christ, “IT HAS TO BE A NEW DAY!!!!!!!”
Praying for you as I get ready for my new day!
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 
Today Tammy I pray for all those who don’t know the love of God. There are so many out there wandering and if they just knew how God’s love can pull them throug, they could then put on that helmet of hope. I spent the weekend with my friend and her friend. That friend so desperately needs us to pray for her. I thank the Lord that He is always there for us, waiting with open arms. Enjoy your day and following days. I know they are hectic right about now with the walk. God bless. Sandy
Love you Tammy & praying for you!
God bless!
