We are all special before God. He has created us for His glory and honor. With His own hands we were formed. He awakened us with His own breath, Then we became a living being. The precious Holy Spirit, Has filled our hearts with joy. Praise Ye the Lord, For His mercy endureth forever. All we who come to His holy presence, Bow down and worship Him Glory and honor and praise, Shall be unto Thee Oh Lord, My God, in whom I will trust Forever and ever. Amen

" The Race" Quit! Give up, you're beaten! They shout at me and plead, There's just too much against you now, this time you can't succeed. And as I started to hang my head in front of failure's face, My downward fall is broken by the memory of a race. And hope refills my weakened will as I recall that scene. For just the thought of that short race rejuvenates my being. A children's race, young boys, young men; now I remember well. Excitement, sure, but also fear; it wasn't hard to tell. They...

I am approaching 50, have two daughters in college and am newly-separated. At a time when I thought I would be enjoying the company of my husband, laughing at his all-too-familiar but still uniquely funny jokes that make him, him, I am sitting here without him by my side. The difficulty of this situation brought out something that I have kept hidden from most—an anxiety that has lived inside of me for years. Some may have suspected, but no one could have ever really known the depths of worry, irrational fears, self-doubt and insecurities I secretly wrestled with inside. But when my husband left, which was the tipping point that exposed my secret in such a way that to this day I can’t really tell you what was going on inside my...

GOD DOES RESTORE DEAD MARRIAGES! “Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!†Luke 1:45 Are you standing firm, believing in God’s mighty power to resurrect, restore, and rebuild your marriage? Never doubt the power of God in moving your mountain of circumstances! I know that God created the institution of marriage and hates divorce, so I believe with all my heart that He is wanting to bring new life back into your dead marriage. The Lord wants to rekindle and reignite the eros and agape love into both you and your spouse’s hearts and marriage to be better than your first marriage. The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made. The LORD upholds all those...

DO YOU RADIATE YOUR LORD DAILY? This is what God the LORD says– he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: “I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols. See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.â€...

CLOTHE YOURSELVES WITH THE LORD Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. Romans 13:14 Are you getting dressed spiritually every day? Paul urges in Romans 13:14 that believers are to put on Christian virtues (which means moral excellence) as they would put on their clothes daily. When you are a new creature in Christ, you must put off your sinful nature and put on your new self in Christ. May that be your prayer for your spouse every day! And to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:24 I pray that every morning you remember to get dressed spiritually as you get dressed physically. Are you putting...

ARE YOU THIRSTY FOR LIVING WATER? “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David.†Isaiah 55:1-3 Have you gone outdoors today? How hot is it where you live? Here in South Florida we have had weather in the 90′s. It is hot! I had to water a few of our plants on the screened porch today as they were wilting from not...

God is our Father who loves us with an everlasting love. Let us all ask Him to turn our disconfort into confort for our lives serving Him. That our pains will turn into gains to the salvation of souls that wander in the world today. That my deprivation will turn to blessings to those who are hungry, hurt and homeless. Feed them with the word of God so they too will see the glory and mercy of God. That our losses will turn into profit to the glory of God the Father who sees our good works and will reward us with untold blessings coming our way. That our tears will turn into smiles when we see souls saved. All our sorrows will turn into pleasure before the Lord. And my illness will turn into wellnes to serve God with all our heart...

The enemy within...

Mark 7:18 (NIV) "Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'? Mark 7:19 (NIV) For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.") This is one passage of scripture people use to say that Jesus declared all foods to be clean. But what is food? All meats? Or meat that has been set aside by God to be clean and therefore is food. People listening to Jesus would understand that clean meats are food, and unclean meats are not food. So the translation is right in saying that Jesus declared all foods clean. But Jesus was not referring to all meats. These scripture passages are taken at a time...
