About Karen Lemburg

I'm blessed to married to a wonderful husband who is also in pursuit of intimacy with our Lord. We work together in real estate and ministry. We have four children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Solid Rock

My child, trust Me for today. Tomorrow has enough trouble of it’s own. I am at work. Never doubt that. Believe Me and remain in My Presence. I am the Way, the Truth, and the LIfe. circumstances will change, but I never do. I am your Solid Rock. Hold onto Me and not your circumstances.

Matthew 6:34   John 14:6

Thankfulness

My child, thankfulness opens up a life of joy. When you are thankful and have a grateful heart I am glorified and motivated to bless you with more. It’s when you judge, criticize and feel sorry for yourself that I back off and stay quiet. Don’t live your life in a bitter state of despair. Count your blessings and rejoice. Change your attitude and be thankful. There’s no better way to live.

Weary?

My child, it’s the day in and day out disciplines that get wearisome. Most won’t endure the difficult to get to the excellent. The broad way is just too easy to follow. But I have set your feet on the narrow path. It’s the harder more difficult path but instead of a life of mediocrity, it is a life of adventure, set apart and used to glorify Me. Some vessels are used for common use, but I have chosen you for the uncommon. Rejoice in the hard and difficult. They are leading you to the greater things.

Matthew 7:13    2 Tim 2:20   John 14:12

Stay Alert

My child, it’s when things are going well that you must stay alert. Don’t become complacent just because there is no crisis at the moment. Your adversary the devil is roaming around seeking who he can devour. Stay alert in prayer. Stay close to Me in good times as well as bad. I desire to be your ever present help in time of need.

1 Peter 5:8    Psalm 46:1

Cease Striving

My child, stay connected to Me and don’t doubt. I am asking you to believe Me. Why question Me or My motives? Did I not form you and shape you in My image? Be obedient in what I have called you to and I will supply your every need. Walk in the confidence of My Power. I’m not expecting self-confidence, but faith confidence. Only when you put your complete trust in Me will your heart be at peace. Cease striving and know that I am God. Psalm 46-10.

Talents and Abilities

My child, you are loved, chosen and called. It’s not your talent and your ability that I am looking for. It’s your willing and open heart. I am the One who works through you. I give you talents, gifts and the ability to carry out what I have called you to do. It’s not you doing it. It’s Me doing it through you that will make a difference.
