"Kept" Woman

I cannot take credit for this....I received it in email this morning from my dear mother, who in turn had found it in an email from a friend of hers, Liz, who has MS. It really hit home....I was in a bad place this morning and this message was such a blessing to me that I had to share it:

Am I a "Kept" Woman?

You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind,

But GOD kept me in perfect peace. "You will keep in perfect peace, Liz whose mind is steadfast, because she trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock eternal." (Isaiah 26:3-4)

There were times when I thought I could go no longer,
But the LORD kept me, "I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go . . . " (Gen 28:15a)

Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough, but GOD has helped me to keep the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid, etc.., (Matt. 6:25 -34) "Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

When I was anxious, HE kept me calm in his care. "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." 1 Pet. 5:7,

When I was weary, HE kept gave me rest "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light" (Matt. 11:28-30).

I'm blessed to be "kept."

Are you...or do you know a "kept" woman?

If so pass this message on to her to remind her that she is "Kept"

I'm Kept by the Love and Grace of God.

He keeps me each and everyday. Without Him, I can do nothing but with Him "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me." Phil 4:13
