Love

“[Love one another] This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.”- 1 John 3:11

We are about to all head out to work, onto the mission field and most of us will encounter people today that might be upset, or rude, or angry, but I just wanted to remind you this morning that when you encounter those people remember the above scripture. Remember that we are to love everyone, no matter what they do, no matter who they are. If you say, but some people! I just can’t do it, then I want to remind you of the one that loved you. The one that loved you when you hurt others, the one that still loves you when you make a mistake, or have a day that is not so great. The greatest love, the love of our Father. God would never ask us to do something that He would not do. So I encourage all of you out there, make today the day! From this point on love everyone you encounter, remember you are the only Jesus some people will ever experience. Let your light and your love shine today. God bless!!

True Valentine

Happy Valentines day everyone! I really love this day, if you are someone that is close to me you know I am a person that loves love. I’m pretty sappy. I love to see people together I love the energy that comes with love. Whether I had a valentine or not I still loved the day because it was a time when people really purposed in their heart to show their love for each other and I always thought that was such a precious and beautiful thing.

In the spirit of love, on this day I want us to take time out and spend sometime with our #1 Valentine. The one who first loved us (1 John 4:19) when we were unlovable. The one who loved us so much that He sent his only begotten son son so that we may have eternal life (John 3:16). The one who’s love protects us (Psalm 86:13). The one who’s love is unfailing (Psalm 100:5). The one who’s love gives us rest (Psalm 127:2). The one who loved us and created us even before He made the world (Ephesians 1:4). Our greatest love, our epic love. Say thank you today to Him for His love, let Him know how much you love Him on this Valentines day. Love in the natural will come and it will go. But the love of God will live on for eternity. God bless you all! Have a blessed Valentines day!

A Word From the Lord

Today as I was in prayer the Lord gave me a word…

It’s time my daughters and my sons to put your differences aside. It is time to unite as one, for I desire my body to be whole and complete. No more division, no more strife, no more dissension among you my children. Come together as one in my name. For as one you are an unbreakable, unstoppable force. As one, nothing shall be impossible for you.

Fortress in times of trouble

“But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.”- Psalm 59:16

Isn’t that an amazing promise from God, that when we are going through “times of trouble” God is our fortress and our refuge.

Fortress: Any fortified place; a fort; a castle; a strong hold; a place of defense or security.

Refuge: That which shelters or protects from danger, distress or calamity; a strong hold which protects by its strength, or a sanctuary which secures safety by its sacredness; any place inaccessible to an enemy.

If we just praise him through these time,and enter into His presence, then He will protect us from danger and distress, and we will be inaccessible to the enemy! Glory to God! So I just wanted to encourage any of you out there that are finding themselves in a “time of trouble” go before God, don’t run from Him, praise Him, and He will keep you! God bless!
