Healing
Healing means to make or become healthy, sound, or whole.
Psalm 34:4-5 - “I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.”
Healing means a lot to me because I know God heals both sickness and emotions. I count on him for everything! I am so blessed for his mercy. I am also so blessed with patience. Patience; the capacity, habit, or act of willing to wait. When you’re tempted to lose patience with another, think how patient God has been with you. Proverbs 19:11 – “A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is one’s glory to overlook an offense.” These scriptures are true; it is no wonder why they call the Bible “The gospel of TRUTH”. So just know that as we wait patiently or whatever it is we are waiting for, God our Savior has really been waiting on us.

Encouagement - A Perspective by Felicia - CWJC
Encouragement means to uplift someone in a time of sorrow, hardship, trial and tribulation. “En” means to put into or unto. “Courage” means mental or moral strength; to venture. “Ment” means the state or condition resulting from a specified action. To encourage means to inspire with courage, spirit, or hope. Hope means to give help. Encouragement suggests the raising of one’s confidence; it is the act of encouraging. It’s the state of being encouraged. It also means to preserve and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty.
Encouragement to me means to help someone who is feeling low, sad, or going through the storm. I’m encouraged because I know that Jesus loves me. I look forward to graduating so I have faith to allow God to put into me the strength I need. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” I’m more than a conqueror. “Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world.” I am so thankful to be able to go to school. I encourage every one of you ladies to open your hearts and minds, and allow God to come into your lives. Jesus came that we may have life more abundantly. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Jesus loves us so much that he died on the cross for us.
I’m glad God touched Denise’s heart to accept me after five years. I tried to complete this school before, but I wasn’t encouraged like I am now. God is doing great things in my life and the other ladies lives. God is good all the time.

Forgiveness - A Perspective by Margie - CWJC
Forgiveness - noun: the act of forgiving.
Pardon – verb: to grant freely, excusing an offense.
Forgiveness in my life is a big word, which means to let things go without punishment, without resentment, without anger; letting go freely, like nothing ever happened. Delete it! The reward we get for forgiving someone is the highest forgiveness there is. It’s from GOD! GOD helps us with our weaknesses and imperfections. Jesus said, “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins your Father will not forgive your sins” (Matthew 6:14-15).
We all have sin. There is not a human who walks on this earth who is without sin. Jesus is the only one who walked the earth without sin. Jesus was crucified! He paid the price on the cross with his blood for our sins. In the Old Testament, believers received forgiveness from animal sacrifices. Our forgiveness is possible now through the sacrifice of God’s Son, Jesus. By repenting and confessing our sins, we receive him in our hearts as our personal savior. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34).
As a believer, human forgiveness is supposed to be similar to God’s. In time of emotional pain, physical reminders help me to ask myself, “What would JESUS do?” This helps me daily.

Blessings - perspective by Brenda - CWJC
What is a blessing? In the Bible it says a blessing is an event that is beyond and better than an everyday happening. What does that word mean to each of us?
For me it started after my twin sister and I were born prematurely, kept in an incubator and then sent home. We were under weight but we were fighters and survived that first year to end up out weighing other babies born that year.
My mother told me later in my life that when we were still very small people would come by the house to tell her that my sister and I were going to die. But she didn't listen to them. My mother, grandmother, aunt, uncles and friends would not let that happen. They saved our lives so that my sister and I feel that we have been blessed with life for our lifetime.
Each and every person on this earth and in this classroom has the same blessing from birth for their life, family and future.

Blessing – perspective by Kay - CWJC
It is God’s will for His people to be blessed. Walking in faith, paying your tithes is a great way to be blessed. Giving to others also will be a blessing for you. Ask the Lord for favor. Ask for favor to be blessed. It is a blessing living for our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is a blessing to be here at Christian Women’s Job Corps. Meeting new sisters in Christ at CWJC is a blessing. Praising and glorifying His Holy Name.

Power - Perspective by Reina
We need “Power” in all types of circumstances. Power to take care of self and accomplish things for others. We need “Power” to live and to do God’s will with His “Power.” Power is to have the mind and heart of doing right. Power is to have the things necessary to accomplish everything you need to do in life through God’s eyes.
There was a point in time in my life before coming to CWJC when I thought I had the power to live life to the fullest. Well, I thought wrong. If it were true, then where did we all come from? We came from Him, through Him, for Him and His power.
I use to be ignorant in thinking I had the power. There are a lot of ignorant people whom don’t know the truth about power, but let me tell you – the power we have is all from Him - our Father in Heaven. We need God’s power – in sorrow’s, in making decisions, when wounded by relationship, depressed, exhaustion and even in temptation and guilt. Our Lord, Jesus Christ, with His power rescues us from many ways. All we have to do is seek Him and we shall find Him.
Power is to have enough strength to accomplish all objects – good or bad in day to day life. The Lord’s Power protects us at all times, even when we sleep. Power is a very strong word. In life some people use the word “Power” in wrong ways. As an example: they feel they are above all, or better than others, abusing others for their own purpose of selfishness. The ignorant ones also use power for doing what they want, when they want, not caring how it hurts others. God’s Power brings up the ability of control in times of temptation. God empowers us to be filled with hope, love and faith so we will and can be saved from all sings and overcome the evil one.
It’s true God delights in revealing Himself to others around us by shining His power thought the cracks of our weaknesses. When we recognize our need for God’s Power, it will draw us closer.
God’s power and greatness are revealed in Scriptures and through His work in our life. When you sense a lack of power in your live, seek God for His Power.
Spiritual Power helps us accomplish God’s will. Possessing “Power” reveals important things about us. It is used in many ways. But, Power is to be used to do good, not for brutal purposes.
2 Timothy 1:7 (New Living Translation)
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
Prayer: God, how I need your power to live this life. Fill me with your Spirit. Infuse me with strength to accomplish your will today, tomorrow and Forever.” Amen!
