And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/116/eph.2.8-10.NLT   **** Sofa Chats Blog: www.sofachats.blogspot.com Sofa Chats Book: https://a.co/d/cx3y7Mk Podcast Recording Archives: https://sites.libsyn.com/538247 Search for this podcast where podcasts are broadcasted under:  Sofa Chats with Valerie Bailey (on Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, Android App, iPhone/iPad app, iHeart Radio, Audacity, Deezer, Gaana, Player FM, Samsung, JioSaavn, Boomplay, Linkedin, Network App Listing, Soundcloud, Tumblr, Webplayer, Simple Download) *** Sofa Chats with Valerie Bailey A Conversational & Poetic Sound Off on Life An extension of my writing found on:  www.sofachats.blogspot.com Find more encouragement using these links: Writing🖋️ www.sofachats.blogspot.com Book📘 https://www.amazon.com/Sofa-Chats-Valerie-Bailey/dp/1640881697 Music🎶 https://www.amazon.com/Letting-Go-Mended-Vessels/dp/B0016K59F4 Facebook page💻 https://www.facebook.com/share/fGX2j3BZXMHZFX58/?mibextid=LQQJ4d Rumble Channel 🎧 https://rumble.com/c/c-6434028 YouTube Channel 🎧 https://youtube.com/@sofachats?si=7z14imyQP35vRibG   In a fast-paced world, Sofa Chats invites you to slow down for a few moments to think about life and the Giver of Life.

    The Flower & The Sun

    Join me on this Sofa Chat as we chat about positioning ourselves in the Light. Positioning is everything. If you position yourself before Truth, than Truth is what you will lean into and you will live by. Those who stand in the sunshine of My Truth will bend their lives toward Truth. Do you notice how a flower will bend itself toward the light when it is put in the light? It allows its whole being to shift and position itself so that it can take in all its nutrients. And so it is for your life. I am the Sun, you are the flower. And as you choose to position yourself and stay in the Light and bask in My rays, your whole life will shift and bend in My direction toward truth and love.      Prayer: Thank you Lord for being the beautiful Sun that we are invited to bask in. Your love is so warm and wonderful. And just like a flower needs the sun, so our hearts need you. We were created to need you like a flower was created to need the sun.   Help us position ourselves intentionally in your light everyday, basking in your truth and absorbing your love so that our whole lives will then bend in your direction.    And wash away all things, God, from our hearts and minds that have corrupted us and even tortured us -- fear, anxiety, lies. These are all things that you never want us to bask in. May we denounce those things in our life and be forever positioned before You, our light and source of wholeness and health. In Jesus Name.   ***   This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all… if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬, ‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬   I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. ‭‭John‬ ‭12‬:‭46‬ ‭NLT‬‬   Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬     Bible.com   Sofa Chats Blog: www.sofachats.blogspot.com Sofa Chats Book: https://a.co/d/cx3y7Mk Podcast Recording Archives: https://sites.libsyn.com/538247 Search for this podcast where podcasts are broadcasted under:  Sofa Chats with Valerie Bailey (on Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, Android App, iPhone/iPad app, iHeart Radio, Audacity, Deezer, Gaana, Player FM, Samsung, JioSaavn, Boomplay, Linkedin, Network App Listing, Soundcloud, Tumblr, Webplayer, Simple Download) *** Sofa Chats with Valerie Bailey A Conversational & Poetic Sound Off on Life An extension of my writing found on:  www.sofachats.blogspot.com Find more encouragement using these links: Writing🖋️ www.sofachats.blogspot.com Book📘 https://www.amazon.com/Sofa-Chats-Valerie-Bailey/dp/1640881697 Music🎶 https://www.amazon.com/Letting-Go-Mended-Vessels/dp/B0016K59F4 Facebook page💻 https://www.facebook.com/share/fGX2j3BZXMHZFX58/?mibextid=LQQJ4d Rumble Channel 🎧 https://rumble.com/c/c-6434028 YouTube Channel 🎧 https://youtube.com/@sofachats?si=7z14imyQP35vRibG   In a fast-paced world, Sofa Chats invites you to slow down for a few moments to think about life and the Giver of Life.

There's a place on the sofa saved just for you. *** Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”  Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬ You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!  Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬   Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭1‬-‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Bible.com
