Faith

Good Morning,


So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

I was sitting here, just reflecting on my daughter words. I have the pleasure of sitting down with her before her day begins. By the way she homeschools, she does an hybrid program, this has been an awesome journey. Nonetheless, I was sharing my concept about faith to her, this girl took me away. She shared a short story with me, her story, she used the concept of fear and love. Well, she broke down her fear of spiders, the way they make her feel and why she stray away from them. But, this is the awesome part, she shared with me the love she has for "Dolphins" she literally unfolded their personalities, characteristics and stature.

She stated;

Mom this is the difference.  The spider releases fear in my heart, and this will discourage you and you will become depressed. But, when I think about the goodness and protection of dolphins, I feel secure, and I no longer think about the spiders.  What if, I am not a perfect swimmer?  the dolphins will come to my rescue and safely bring me to shore. He will invite me, and I will accept the offer. Not, knowing of my outcome, but believing, because of who he is. She shouted! they bring peace!   That's what Jesus does, he takes the fear and place love in your heart. He take away the weakness and give you strength. Jesus gives you peace and hope.  Her question was? Is this an example of "Faith"

I must say my dear, it certainly is.

There will be times when we are so overwhelmed and captivated by fear, but this is the ultimate key.....no matter what your going through, no matter what your experiencing, the power of love will give you hope and strength. Even if you don't see it, oh  it's there. I am in awe!

You deserve the Glory.

Psalms 139: 14

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Keep trusting in Jesus. He knows your beginning and end.

Identity

No one has the ability to steal your identity. You have the ability to allow them to. You were created with the medal so don"t be discourage. Just believe.  Everyone has their appointed work to accomplish, focus on the work that was placed in front of you. Truly, the baker isn't capable of mining the Gold. It will never fit. Both positions are quite profitable. One requires a little more than the other, nonetheless, all is well.

Light

"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus , his son, purifies us from all sin" 

1John 1:7

The opposite of light is dark. We are called to walk in the light and live a life of  love and dignity. Darkness is hatred, unforgiveness, malice, and strife. But living in the light, you experience love, joy, peace, and hope. Let's keep loving .

Giving Thanks

" Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

1 Peter 1:3

 I hope everyone is doing well. Yes, we must give thanks to God for his miraculous son Jesus Christ, and our Loving Savior!  Out of love and mercy he sent his son to partake in a radical journey and love and sacrifice, gave us a right to this new beginning and hope. I am truly grateful.

Have a beautiful day!

FAITH

Good Morning,
I hope all is well. I hope you're progressing in your faith and in your health. May this day bring you joy and hope.
Faith is knowing and being hopeful in what your believing for. Hope is an everlasting journey that we must partake in. We are called to be faithful, truly this pleases the Lord, without faith our life is like a leaf that has fallen from a tree with no place to land. We were made to land. " Destiny is the final Destination".....Eternity . What are your plans today? My plans are plans of Faith.

Enjoy this beautiful day.

Love

A women that loves others is able to accept her calling and place in life. not, overwhelmed by the cares of this world. she loves to share her love, smile and peace with others. This woman is able to love even when she has experienced so much pain. I appreciate the one that has allowed me to share this love. Yesterday, was a day filled with so much laughter and joy. Just to see those women filled with so much joy was my deepest pleasure.  This is my desire to be where you want me to be.  Their Joy...became my Joy.... and my Joy.....became your "Glory"

marriage

I realize there is a difference between a successful marriage and a faithful marriage.  A successful marriage is having a favorable outcome. Nonetheless, a faithful marriage is strong in endurance and hope.  Now, that's firm ground.  Which do you prefer the truth or a lie? 20 years of faithfulness, I can't imagine what the next twenty years will be like.

Silence

No need for much chatter today. Chatter has a way of disturbing the soul.

I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

Trust

Trust in the Lord and lean not into your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledged him and he will make your path straight.

Proverbs  : 3: 5-6

There are times where I am completely lost, not in Jesus but in myself and man. I trust in my way and my way has never been the way. We trust in man way and find out that they may be leading you wrong. I have had people to come to me and tell me that they will help me , but after they see the gifts and the talents for some apparent reason that no longer holds. See, I have realized that , the Holy Spirit will guide me and lead me into all truth, the thing about that is this.  The people that are supposed to be in your circle to help you get to destiny they will come. trust in the promise, not what you think may be true. Let the Lord guide you and your way will be made plain. Say this,  your will Lord not mines.

Kindness

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap an harvest if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:9

There will be times in your life , when you feel like you have exhausted your goody bag! You forgive, you let go, but things never seem to get better with that particular boss, friend, co-worker, or family member or the neighbor that won't move on. You may feel yourself giving up on the situation, allowing them to return you evil for the good you have given them, or better yet the hatred they have returned to you,in place of love. Continue to do good, you will reap a harvest of love, goodness and peace. Jesus was the giver of love and goodness. he never stop giving in the midst of his struggle,  let is presence be the reason to Love and do good.  He continued the process and this give us the right to reap the harvest. This is the key, dont get weary keep the joy! you will win. Don't be weary in doing good. Oh yes! keep the flow going.

Living inthe light

"But if we walk in the light , as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. '

 John 1:7


Good Morning,

The opposite of light is darkness,  we are called to walk in the light and live as individuals that love.  Darkness is hatred, unforgiveness, malice, and strife. But, light is love, joy, peace and hope.

Fellowship is quite easy, especially if we free ourself of unhealthy habits. Let's live like we're children of God, knowing and understanding that life is love. And this love is found in the life of Christ. Forgive and love and let go , so your light may shine and the life that's rightfully yours become yours.
