I've got my opinions as any other;

Hopefully, I'll be clear and you'll understand

that our silent words are useless -

For the trees will willingly clap their hands.



The one true God spoke into existence

the birds, fishes, plants, mammals, Earth

and all forms of life including...

Humble beginnings of Mankind's birth.



The sound of our individual voices

is something that God covets and enjoys;

He wants our unadulterated praise…

Revelations of the heart

regarding how one's money is spent

echoes volumes about character

and our God-given talents.



For Jehovah is far from being poor;

He owns the cattle on a thousand hills.

He's not into ungodly extortion

to keep you from paying your bills.



By serving two masters,

one will be dearly loved - the other sorely hated;

so one can never be truly happy

until settling the God and Mammon debate.



The wealth of God lies…

Are there things I do, or might do, that would silence his presence?

God has promised he will never leave you, but your ability to feel him might be dimmed.  So, if you want to maintain an awareness of God’s presence in your life,

Refrain from activities…

Everyone suffers an occasional rejection. Some high school seniors don't get into their college of choice. Many a college graduate doesn't get the dream job he or she had counted on. Suitors are turned down. Social slights abound.



Some people so internalize the rejections they encounter that they become paralyzed by life. They abandon their dreams. They settle for less than God intended with their lives. They give up and resign themselves to mediocrity. They allow the judgments…

The LORD is waiting to be kind to you. He rises to have compassion on you. The LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him. Isaiah 30:18

We are blessed by waiting on the Lord. We trust that the Lord wants to help us. We stand at the ready. He knows what we need even before we ask. When Isaiah spoke…

And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord;   but the Lord was not in the wind~ and after the wind, an earthquake;     but the Lord was not in the earthquake~ and after the earthquake, a fire;    but the Lord was not in the fire~ and after the fire, a still small…

Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.”Psalm 16: 2

Take Refuge - God is the ultimate refuge for His children.

No place on earth,…

"Catch the foxes for us, The little foxes that are ruining the vineyards" (Song of Solomon 2:15 (NASB). 

Ben Franklin is credited with having said the following: "For want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the rider was lost; being overtaken and slain…

A My Father is my Abba, Papa-God. I am His beloved child. (Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:4-7; John 1:12; James 1:18). B My Father blesses me with every heavenly gift. (Ephesians 1:3). C My Father gathers me in His arms and carries me all my life. (Isaiah 40:11, 46:3-4; Deuteronomy 1:31). My Father chose me from the foundation of the world. (Ephesians 1:4-6).

D My Father disciplines me with love and justice. (Hebrews 12:6-11, Deuteronomy 32:4; John 5:30).

E My Father exults over me with…

I have been under attack today, in a big way.  This is from that attack.  This is not pointed to anyone.  This is how Holy Ghost showed me, to stand up against the enemy.  I Trust you are able to see, what I was shown,

"Listen to what the story about the farmer means. Someone hears the word about the kingdom but doesn't understand it. The evil one comes at…

ஆகையால் நீங்கள் செய்துவருகிறபடியே, ஒருவரையொருவர் தேற்றி, ஒருவருக்கொருவர் பக்திவிருத்தி உண்டாகும்படி செய்யுங்கள். - (1தெசலோனிக்கெயர் 5:11). ஒரு வயதான முதியவர் மரண படுக்கையில் இருந்து, நாட்களை எண்ணிக் கொண்டு இருந்தார். ஒரு நாள் அவருக்கு தன் வீட்டின் கீழே இருந்து அவருக்கு பிடித்தமான ரவா கேசரி செய்யும் வாசனை வந்தது. அதை எப்படியாவது சாப்பிட வேண்டும் என்ற ஆசை எழுந்தது. மிகவும் கஷ்டப்பட்டு, எழுந்து கீழே விழுந்து, சிரமப்பட்டு கீழே சென்றார். உயிரை கையில் பிடித்தபடி கீழே சமையறைக்குள் சென்றபோது, அவரால்…

Christ died for sinners; not only such as were useless, but such as were guilty and hateful; such that their everlasting destruction would be to the glory of God's justice. Christ died to save us, not in our sins, but from our sins; and we were yet sinners when he died for us. Nay, the carnal mind is not only an enemy to God, but enmity itself, Rom 8:7 Col 1:21, But God designed to deliver from sin, and to work a great change. While the sinful state…

A blessed change takes place in the sinner's state, when he becomes a true believer, whatever he has been. Being justified by faith he has peace with God. The holy, righteous God, cannot be at peace with a sinner, while under the guilt of sin. Justification takes away the guilt, and so makes way for peace. This is through our Lord Jesus Christ; through him as the great Peace-maker, the Mediator between God and man. The saints' happy state is a state of grace. Into this…

ABOUT BEING YOU

Consider Peter’s words to the crippled man of Acts 3: 6,

‘Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus

Christ of Nazareth, walk.’ And the miracle as Peter ‘gave’ what he had and then

the man ‘jumped to his feet and began to walk’ (v8).

Now relate it to yourself… ‘you.’ You cannot be Peter; in fact you cannot be someone else. You are…

A Future

have I failed as a mother

have I failed as a wife

have I failed as a daughter

have I failed in my life

have I failed as a friend

have I failed as a sister

have I failed to defend

have I failed in this twister

called life...

maybe? but Jesus forgives all..and makes new

so…

Jesus hung on the cross

His shoulders weighted with my sins

God had to turn away

No longer able to look at him

"My God, why have you…

I honestly can't deal with people!  The last few months I fooled myself into believing that somehow God was allowing that I be afflicted  with certain symptoms that were affecting my health for a bigger purpose. I somehow felt that He was calling me to take a journey on His path. Months have passed and all I've gotten is angrier, more bitter, and downright rude!

Dealing with the public is not my strong suit whatsoever. I can come across very curt, blunt, and insensitive. People tell…
