Daddy’s Arms
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Just as me, I’m sure you too have experienced disappointment, and rejection by others at times, which certainly makes it hard to ever trust again. But I do know this one thing…”God is Faithful”!!
When I place my faith and trust in the Lord, I know I will never be disappointed! HE has proven His love & devotion to me time and time again. He is so very true to His Word & will never abandon those who really want to know HIM!
So don’t be afraid to run to HIM like a Daddy. His arms are open wide and there you will find a heart filled with love that you can trust!
The eternal God is (my) refuge, and underneath are (His) everlasting arms. (Deuteronomy 33:27)
…I am the Lord; those who hope in me will not be disappointed.” (Isaiah 49:23)
“The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. (Psalm 9:9-10)

Bless the Broken Road
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Yes, the road I have traveled in life has been filled with potholes, but each hardship has made me who I am today! Oh, I may look a little bruised and battered and I may even be facing more hardships in life, but yet I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to finish the work before me that the Lord has called me to do!
I am committed to serving the Lord at whatever cost. I look to the Spirit of the Lord to work in me and through me, putting absolutely no confidence in my tattered flesh! You see…God is in charge of my life through the Holy Spirit that dwells within me. I am no longer a hostage to changing circumstances, riding the ups and downs of emotions….for The jOy of the Lord is my strength of my Life!! I have found as I have yielded to the ways of the Lord, I am more alert to the needs of others around me and love to minister to those who are bruised and hurting. I absolutely refuse to be consumed by my own problems, but seek the Lord in how to share His love and encouraging words with others. Oh yes, I must still deal with my own personal trials and ordeals in my daily life, but I solely rely upon a Holy God, for in Him I have found Freedom, Liberty, and a new devotion to continue His work while on earth! Even in the midst of brokenness, I have a deep compelling desire to walk in a greater intimacy with Christ! Yes see, The Lord has faithfully given me a gift of His strength for my weakness, His Hope, for my despair, and brings relief with His healing hand. He heals my broken heart and binds up my wounds. His sweet presence is ever so near.
Therefore, I MUST finish the race, reflect the Love of Christ and share the powerful life changing Truth of God’s Saving Grace!! Oh God, Bless this Broken Road! ~ San, Healing Rain to the Nations
…However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.. Acts 20:24

JOY of Giving
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
What a wonderful world this would be if we all shared more of what we have with those who have not. Sharing is not just about giving money or assets to a charity or church. Sharing is caring deeply from the heart. It’s about reaching out to others, giving your time, ideas, wisdom and resources to help meet a need or simply bless others. Sharing is something you do unconditionally, without the expectation of receiving anything in return. However, you will probably find that the more you share, the more abundance somehow comes back to you in some other way.
For the Word says…”Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38)
I encourage you to open your eyes and your heart and allow the Lord to lead you. Rather it’s bag of groceries or a plate of cookies, sharing your clothes or offering to help, paying a Bill or buying a hamburger or coffee…Whatever the Lord puts on your heart, do it with love and then expect absolutely nothing in return! Demonstrating the compassion and love of Christ brings so much jOy to the heart. I promise, you will be amazingly surprised at how you are actually the one who’s blessed! I pray you will enjoy the spirit of “giving” this Christmas Season and all throughout the year! Enjoy this beautiful song challenging you to let your light shine! God Bless!

“Fluff Your Tu-Tu”
Ever been around a person with an abrasive personality?
Did you know…people can’t get under your skin unless you allow them to! Recognize that some people are just plain ole self-centered energy drainer’s! Don’t allow yourself to be hooked into their situation’s. Now you can’t control what others say and do, but you can control how you respond or react to certain situation’s.
So….Have a canned response ready “Thank you for your input” and walk away or sometimes it’s best to say nothing and walk away! Realize that most often it isn’t about you but about them. But once you react to others craziness, it then becomes about you too.
So, learn to laugh and see the humor of the situation. Next time just fluff your Tu-Tu and dance away!!
“The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:19-22)
“Therefore, As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” (Colossians 3:12) Be blessed by this beautiful song below…~ Healing Rain to the Nations

Try A Little Kindness
Every day we are faced with many choices. But one of the most important things to choose is to begin our day with words of kindness. When we choose our words wisely, we can brighten someone’s day and bring much joy to our own hearts! On the other hand, our negative words have the power to divide and destroy.
Family & Friends are one of God’s greatest Blessings. So let your ‘kindness’ begin with those whom you love and care about so dearly. When you wake up and in the morning before your feet hit the floor, invite the Lord into your day and ask Him to help you choose your words wisely. For our actions and reactions set the mode for the whole day.
If you tend be snappy & grumpy in the mornings, just remember this: God doesn’t just ‘suggest’ we be kind and loving toward each other … HE Commands it!!
God’s command: “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. (John 15:12)
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:32)
Yes, there will certainly be those moments, but be aware of how you treat others. Your compassion, respect and love may be just what lead’s them to the heart of Christ!!
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. (Philippians 4:5)
Purify yourselves by obeying the Truth so that you have sincere love for each other; love one another deeply, from the heart. (1 Peter 1:22)
Prayer: “O God, I ask that love, respect and compassion flows freely from my heart to all those around me…especially to those whom I love so dearly!”
“Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting … Don’t only give your care, but give your heart as well”. ~ Mother Teresa
