Please join in at Ginas, share what you are learning.: This week, I started memorizing verses. The verse I chose to memorize first is Psalm 30:5: His anger last for only a moment, but His kindness last for a lifetime. Crying may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning. In memorizing this verse, I have been blessed. I know this verse to be very true in my life. When God gets angry at me, and He does get angry with me at times, the anger last only a moment, and then it vanishes. But, His kindness to me, it has no ending. So many nights, I have cried myself to sleep. But, I felt His joy once again in the morning. I also have learned that through my mourning, will always come His joy. Thank You Lord for teaching me life lessons, I love You.

Denise,
I love your tender spirit and how you convey what God has done in your life and continues to do. You encourage me so!
Much love to you this new morning full of God's new mercies!
Thanks for posting this verse. It reminds me how the Lord bless us with all the compassion and forgiveness. This is really very encouraging. Happy New Year Denise. I hope and pray that all your hopes and dreams will come to past this year!
Denise,
Thank you for visiting me over at The Point. I hope you found a blessing.
How cool!! The passage that I have been memorizing over the past weeks is Psalm 30. I am down to my final two verses and it has blessed me so to commit this chapter to memory.
I love the cute bears on your blog. I'll be back to visit.

Amen sweet sister..great verse!
Yes, I know He has gotten angry at my stubbornness at times. He is so patient. I am glad that He sees the end from the beginning and knows always just what I will do and so it never shocks Him.
And the proof of His love brings joy to my heart.
I love the first verse you chose to memorize. And I am glad that the mornings come. :)
Thanks for reminding me of this verse today. It's one of my favorites. I appreciate your thoughts.
What a precious truth, Denise! Thank you so much for sharing! What awesome things we have to hold on too, huh?
Hug!
I love that scripture. Isn't it great his mercies are new each day.
Blessings, BJ
I had that verse spoken over me many years ago when I was a crumpled heap on the floor in front of the alter at my church. I was broken and undone and could not see any good in my tomorrows.....When that man of God spoke that over me I just looked at him and had no faith that God could accomplish that! It was 9 years latter that God did answer and it was the joy of joy's and laughter and happiness.... and my mind went back to that day when I was broken........ God sent the joy and it arrived in the perfect time as God knew!
Hugs girl !
I am always blessed everytime I visit you here. What I am learning lately is in James 4:15 "Instead you ought to say,'If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that."
Yes and we give Him praise in all those times.
Wonderful things the Lord is showing you. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Love you.
Hey Denise,
I'm so excited about your scripture memory verses. Writing them on the tablet of our heart is a true treasure. So many times when I'm confronted with a situation... a verse will come to me right when I need it.
God bless you this year learning your verses!!
Lea
Thank you for teaching me that, His love is also unfailing- that is my post for tomorrow. I desire a closer walk with Thee this 2009, I will be memorizing along with you.
Another great post! I recently starting memorizing verses too! It's been such a blessing!
Have a great weekend!
This post encouraged me so much. I learn so much about a life of surrender and dependence on God from you. Beautiful.
How are things with you? It seems like too long since we "talked". I hope you enjoyed your Christmas and New Year's celebration. It's been great having dh home with us. He leaves again on Monday so I'm not looking forward to that. Thank you for thinking of me over the holidays. :)
That is a beautiful verse to start a memory program with! Even when the night seems long -- and sometimes the "night" can be days or weeks or even months -- there is always a morning!
I couldn't help but think of that song "Trading My Sorrows."
BTW, my friend..I tagged you on my blog!! :)
Hi Denise, your last post was January 1st. I hope that it is just because you are busy and I wish to hear that you are doing good over there.
We love you.
Hey Denise where have you been I miss you my friend.
Great verse Denise! sorry it's been awhile since I visited. Great idea with the Bible memory. You never know when that memory verse will be needed! God bless

Denise,
Great verse to start with. Praying you are doing well!
Many blessings!
Love,
Cheryl
Happy New Year my friend! It's been a while. Great Post! Crying can be very clensing, and I've expirienced what you're talking about as well. Sometimes, I just pour out my heart to Him at night, and have a good cry, and then in the morning I'm refreshed, and the burden is lifted, even though nothing has changed. But, I've given it to God, and released my control over it. And that makes all the difference in the world. ~Blessings!
I have missed you... I pray you are feeling well... I am praying for you... Blessings...
love you:)
This is a terrific post. And I just notice your Shortybear dance on your sidebar...cute!!!!
Denise, I LOVE this verse in Psalms! Whether it's looking at a single day or at the seasons in my life, I can testify that while weeping may last for a night, joy truly does come in the morning. Thanks for the beautiful reminder.
I love you Denise & I am enjoying hearing what God is doing in your life! You are such a wonderful person and friend. Love you,
Julie
you alright?
Hi...I'm looking for Marriage Monday? Am I at the wrong place? Please let me know!
Thank you so much for sharing the meditations of your heart, Denise! Love ya!
Beautifully put, my friend and ever so true. I am thankful for God's mercy and grace because I know that I've mad Him mad many times in my life but His forgiveness, compassion and kindness is ever present.
I love you!
((hugs))
