Often we can think of the word 'sufficient' in human terms which doesn't even come close to the sufficiency that God gives us. Rosemary shares how God's grace sustains us in our lives if we surrender to Him. What are Your Priorities?Do you make New Year Resolutions? This year Emma encourages us to focus on priorities in our faith. When we prioritise something we make changes in our lives to make it happen. What are your priorities for this year?Jesus is Born. So what does that mean?Jesus is born. So what does that mean for our lives? Should we be different? Should we be living differently? Rosemary explains how the birth of Christ changes the way we live. Preparing for Joy!Are you ready for the birth of Jesus? With only a few days before Christmas Rosemary asks us how we are preparing for the Joy of Christ. Do You Have Nothing?Do you sometimes feel like you have nothing that can be used by God? Rosemary shares the story of the feeding of the 5000. It is here that Jesus used the few loaves and fishes, what seemed like nothing, to make something with abundance. Maybe you do have something?A Word for the WearyTiredness seems to be an everyday thing for many of us. Jesus knew we would feel this way and He encourages us to come to Him with our weariness. Being a Person of IntegrityAre you a person of integrity? Being a person of integrity comes from the heart. We are called by God to have a pure heart and it is only with the Holy Spirit living in us that we are able to achieve this. The Power of Our WordsOur words have the ability to build someone up or pull someone down. Our words are powerful! When we speak, our words give an insight into the content of our heart. Emma encourages us to ask the Holy Spirit for help in controlling our tongue. Being RefinedTo become the beautiful person God wants us to be we need to go through a refining process. This refinement and purification of our hearts often happens through the struggles we have in life. Rosemary reminds us that God has placed a beauty within us that He wants to make perfect. He is with us through it all. Don't Just Hope You'll Go To HeavenWe can't go to heaven on someone else's faith. We need to have our own personal relationship with God that we continue to work on. Rosemary encourages us to continue to pursue this relationship. Questions We Ask Ourselves About Our FaithDoes my life really change when I have Jesus in my life? Do you ever ask yourself that question? God wants to have a personal relationship with us and He wants to interact in our everyday lives. In this Heartbeat Rosemary reminds us that we can have an encounter with God that is very personal to us. Do You Rely on Your Abilities or God's Ability?Do you rely on your abilities or God? We are each given different abilities so it can be easy to rely on ourselves instead of trusting in God. Rosemary encourages us to seek a personal relationship with God that will help us to rely on Him. Seeking God through MeditationWhen we seek God through meditation He draws us closer to Him. He begins to reveal to us areas of our lives that can be surrendered more to Him. Rosemary shares with us her experience of meditation. AdorationAdoration turns our focus from ourselves to God. When we sit before our God, face to face, then we begin to surrender our lives to him more. A Sacrifice of PraiseDo you praise God even when you're going through hard times? It's not easy to do. Rosemary shares with us about offering a sacrifice of praise to God even in times of difficulty. The Promise of the Holy SpiritJesus promised that He would send us the Holy Spirit to guide us, comfort us and strengthen us. Do we know this promise? Do we recognise the Holy Spirit working in our lives? Rosemary reminds us of this gift that Jesus left us. God Will Guide UsGod will guide us in our lives when we trust in Him. Emma shares from the book of Proverbs that encourages us to acknowledge God in everything that we do.We Are Overcomers!Have you ever been tempted? You are not alone here... We have all been tempted in some way. It can be difficult to resist temptation but we know that God has promised us victory. Emma reminds us that with God we are all overcomers!God's Redeeming GraceGod's redeeming grace is available to everyone. Rosemary reminds us of this promise. She also encourages us that in order to receive God's grace we need to choose to accept it.You are Beautiful!We are each fearfully and wonderfully made by God. He has made us beautiful! When we come to know that God has placed beauty within us then we begin to see God's beauty all around us. Trust in His PromisesDo we trust the God we praise? Do we trust in His promises? Rosemary reminds us that we can trust that God has an everlasting promise for us and that He will protect us, provide for us and come through for us.God is Always WorkingGod is always working in our lives. Often when we look back on our life we can see the hand of God at work setting things up for our future. Rosemary reminds us that the Holy Spirit is always working out a purpose for our lives. Why did I do it to myself? Take two!Do you ever have a day where everything goes wrong? The day starts out well but then one thing after another happens and it all goes downhill. Often our behaviour unravels with the day. Rosemary encourages us that we can start afresh with God because our God forgives time and time again.Knowing What We BelieveFaith is a gift from God. Our faith grows when we listen, learn and seek God out. Rosemary encourages us to seek after the truth in Christ. God of AbundanceGod gives us abundance for every good work that He has prepared for us to do. God wants us to prosper with the fullness of life that comes from Him. It's not necessarily wealth and riches. Rosemary reminds us that God's abundance is given to us to succeed in the plan He has for us in life.Practicing the Presence of GodRosemary challenges us to practice the presence of God 24/7 in our lives. 24/7! It's certainly a challenge but we are encouraged to continue to bring ourselves back to thinking about God in every aspect of our day. Step Out and Act with the Holy SpiritSo often the Holy Spirit can be speaking to us but we don't step out and act. Emma encourages us to be bold, to step out and to trust that God will do the rest. Live with the Power of the Holy SpiritHow often do we live powerless, without the Holy Spirit in our lives? Many of us get stuck in our faith because we don't ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in our day. Emma encourages us to be expectant that with the Holy Spirit we can see God at work in us and around us. The Seven Gifts of the Holy SpiritWhen Jesus went back to the Father He sent us the gift of the Holy Spirit. Within that gift we are given the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. The Giver keeps on giving! Rosemary unpacks these in this week's Heartbeat. God Will Use You Where You AreNever underestimate the place that you are in life.

It can remind us of who God has made us. Do you speak with kind words to others?God's Got This!God is always watching over us, encouraging us and looking after us. In this Heartbeat Rosemary shares the amazing story of Jon Ponder. Jon's story reminds us all of God's grace that He gives to each one of us in our own circumstances. What's in Your Bag?Every day we pack our bag because we want to be prepared. In life we want to be prepared for everything that comes at us. With the Holy Spirit we want to pack our life with His gifts and His fruits that will help us to respond to situations with God's love and grace. Rosemary challenges us to ask the question: What have you packed in your bag?Are you Stuck in the Middle?Do ever feel stuck? Do you ever feel like you can't see the way forward? In this Heartbeat Rosemary reminds us that if we stay anchored to God then He will help us through all the trials we come up against. Seeking Guidance from GodWe often would like guidance in life. Rosemary shares on Psalm 25 which encourages us to seek guidance from God and to have a heart that is teachable to His ways. I Can't But He Can!We have so many "I can't's" in life. We need to take those to God because He can overcome any obstacle. Rosemary reminds us of God's promises and the need to trust in Him. The Empty Tomb Brings HopeThe faithfulness of God is shown in the resurrection of Jesus from death to life. We can so easily forget God's faithfulness when we are experiencing hard times but Rosemary reminds us in this Heartbeat how the empty tomb brings us hope. The Seven Last Words of ChristAll of Jesus' last words were expressions of love. From the cross He gave us another gift in His Mother, Mary. This powerful message helps us to reflect on Jesus' death and the sacrifice He gave for us. Look into His EyesIt's at the cross that we see Jesus' love when He laid down His life for us. Rosemary shares how we can come to a deeper understanding of Christ's love for us by meditating on the Stations of the Cross. Grace that RestoresWhen we seek forgiveness from God we experience restoration through God's abundant mercy and grace. Emma reminds us of the grace offered to each of us through reconciliation.Our Desire for ChangeGod wants to see the internal changes in our heart. When we pray, fast and give alms then we show God our deep desire for change. See the Father's HeartWhen we focus on the Father's heart and how much He loves us then we are able to trust in God at a deeper level. Rosemary reminds us that we see the Father's heart through Jesus. What is Stopping You?What are the sticking points in your life that are stopping you from going deeper in your relationship with God? We all have them. Rosemary encourages us to face them, look at them and give them to God. Going Deeper this LentKnowing who God is will help us to go deeper in our relationship with Him. Rosemary shares some of the ways that God has revealed Himself to her through her appreciation of creation, reading the bible and spending time in silence. See With Eyes of LoveHow do you think Jesus would have looked at people? In this Heartbeat Emma shares how Jesus would have looked at people with eyes of love and challenges us to do the same. Open Your Eyes - What Do You See?God wants us to see what He has in store for us but our past can colour what we see and how we view ourselves. In this Heartbeat Rosemary encourages us to open our eyes to God's goodness. The Hand Of GodOften we don't notice the hand of God working in our lives but He is always watching us and caring for us. Grace Available AlwaysDo you ever feel like you've fallen away from God? Do feel like you're not living the life God wants you to? Emma reminds us that no matter what we've done or where we are God's abundant grace is always available to us. How to Build ResilienceContinuing our focus on resilience Rosemary shares about how we can build resilience into our lives by reflecting on the ways we react to the challenges that we face in life.Resilience: Where is God Stretching You?As we all have so many challenges in life we need to learn to be resilient. With God we can be resilient with peace and joy. God uses the challenges of our lives to stretch us and grow us. Where is God stretching you to become more resilient?Why Read the Bible?The Bible is more than just a book. It is the heart and mind of God. Rosemary shares how reading the Bible gives us life as God's love for us is revealed in His Word. Equipping OurselvesLet's equip ourselves for what God has for us this year!

There can be a real weight and mental burden from all the thinking that we do in life. God does not want us to carry these heavy burdens alone. Be encouraged in this week's Heartbeat to find rest in God. Habits of Prayer Throughout Your DayWhen we build habits of continuous prayer throughout our day then we are able to enter into a deeper relationship with God. In this week's Heartbeat Emma suggests different ways that we can begin to build these habits. Building Prayer into Busy Lives"I don't have time to pray!" How often have you said that? The truth is that it can be tricky to fit prayer into our busy lives. In this Heartbeat Emma invites us to look at prayer with a new perspective that will help us to make prayer a part of our daily life. Are You Fully Alive?Jesus came that we would have life to the full. To live this full life we need to be and do the things that God has called us to but there are so many times in life where we feel tired, unmotivated or lazy to do that. Emma shares how we can pick ourselves up to step back into the person that God wants us to be so that we can be fully alive. Go the Extra Mile!When we see people in need, when we notice something that needs to be done, do we do something about it? Rosemary challenges us to go the extra mile and reminds us that it all comes down to the attitude of our heart. God Sees You!In life we balance so many things and in all the busyness we can begin to feel lost. This week Emma reminds us that in everything that we are juggling God sees you, He knows you and He loves you!Our Attitude to WorkWhat is your attitude when you approach work? Are you hard working or a bit lazy? St Paul tells us that we should work as if we are working for the Lord. Emma shares on her experience of this topic.Cast All Your Cares on Him!There are so many things in life that we stress and worry about. No matter how big or how little God wants us to give it all to Him. Rosemary encourages us to give everything to Him in this week's Heartbeat. Don't Be Fearful of the UnknownSo often what can stop us from doing something new or achieving more is the fear of the unknown. Rosemary encourages us to remember who God is and to trust in Him during these times.Distractions from Hearing God's VoiceWe allow so many things into our lives that can distract us from hearing God's voice. By taking notice of what these distractions are then we can re-focus ourselves to make God the loudest voice guiding us. Steps to Help Hear God's VoiceRecognising the traits of God's voice helps us to discern whether He is speaking to us but there are things we need to do practically to be open to hearing from Him. Emma expands this topic by sharing about some practical things that we can do to help us hear the voice of God.Recognising God's VoiceGod is a speaking God. He has something to say and He wants to talk to us about our lives. It can, however, be really tricky to recognise God's voice. In this Heartbeat Emma gives us some great ways to begin to recognise the voice of God. Use What You Are GivenGod has blessed each of us with many things. What are you doing with what God has given you? God wants us to use what He has given us and more than that He wants us to develop, grow and increase it. Rosemary unpacks this topic in this week's Heartbeat. You Will Be ComfortedWhenever we go through hard times in life Jesus is the one who can comfort us. Rosemary unpacks this by looking at a verse in the Beatitudes which says, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."Build Each Other UpConversations that involve talking about what God is doing in our lives help to encourage others in their faith. When we share our faith with others we encourage each other by building others up and urging them on in their relationship with God.Turning Nothing into SomethingDo you sometimes feel like you don't have anything to give? Do you sometimes feel like you have nothing? Spend time with Rosemary Downes as she shares what God has placed on her heart. You will be encouraged in your faith with a message about how God can turn what seems like nothing into something!There is Always More with God!God's kindness, compassion, love, mercy and grace goes deeper and further than anything we could imagine. Despite this we can sometimes block God out of our lives because we limit what we think God can do. Be reminded today that with God there is always more. He is greater and bigger than any circumstance we face. Hope Again! Trust Again!Do you have circumstances in your life where you have lost hope? Have you decided that God can't help anymore? Emma shares with us how she needs to hope and trust again in God who can make a way!God in the Here and NowGod is a God of the Here and Now.

It gives God space to speak into our lives. It gives us a chance to slow down and to listen. Rosemary shares why it's important for us to have a time of solitude.The Power of PrayerPrayer connects us to God. It allows us to build a relationship with Him. By praying daily we are able to become more aware of God's presence in our lives. Watch this week's Heartbeat to be encouraged in your prayer. How Do I Look?We often ask people, "How do I look?" We are hoping that we get a good response. If we were to ask God this question He would remind us that He does not look at appearance but rather at our heart. So, how does your heart look?Discover Your Spiritual GiftsDo you know your spiritual gifts? God graces us with gifts given to us by the Holy Spirit.

Emma explores this topic by sharing some of her story and how God has used her burdens to draw her closer to Him. Live Today with Hope!Are you living in hope? Hope is available to everyone. Rosemary encourages us that with Christ, our hope in the future can be lived out today in our every day. Our hope for the future helps us in our present.

We might be waiting for an answer to prayers, for new direction in our lives, for healing or for breakthrough. There is a purpose to our waiting even though we may not see it. Rosemary shares with us tools that can help us in our waiting and she reminds us that God’s timing is always perfect.Can People See Your Footprint?Rosemary shares that we are all called to pass on our faith but we are also called to pass on the specific gifts that God has given each of us. What gifts have you been entrusted with? What are you passing on? What Does Your Life Reflect?Do you find it a challenge to live out being a Christian every day? It’s hard to live out what we believe day in, day out but it is what we are called to do. Our lives should reflect our beliefs. Emma encourages us to stay focused on God and to love our neighbours. By doing this we can begin to have our lives reflect Christ in us. How is Your Heart?Every day we sacrifice and we give to others. It can be never ending and it is necessary but how is your heart?
