  • “Understanding The Profound Relationship”

    11 11 2019 Hebrews 10 24 thru 25
    Praise The Lord Beloved. Wishing a blessed Monday to everyone.

    You know Beloved, there are many of you like myself that have found out that trials in life traumatize our hearts, causing us to close ourselves off to profound significant family relationships and friendships. Have you ever had someone try to provide, connect, or genuinely care for you and it frightened you? Why did it scare you? Many of us are afraid to open our hearts to re-open family relationships or new/old friendships because we’re afraid we’ll be hurt again. We’ve been created for close relationships and to be devoted to fellowship (*1). God has created us to connect with each other, to sharpen each other, and to grow with each other (*2). God also desires to have a close intimate relationship with us. To know Him, to understand He’s good, and to know He has a plan for our lives.
     
    Beloved, today and throughout the rest of the week reflect on your heart and ask God to mend the wounds and traumas that are there so you can develop meaningful relationships with God and other Believers. Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊
     
    Let Us Pray:
    Dear Heavenly Father, this morning we pray that You would tenderly allow our past hurts to reappear and heal them with Your unconditional and comforting love. Father God guide us in the relationship and friendship You have blessed us with and enable us to re-open or choose new ones wisely. Open our hearts up to affection with You and others. Though this can be difficult, we pray that we continually turn our hearts to You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen and Amen. ✝️
     
    Beloved, life is very short. It comes and goes like an unannounced gust of wind. None of us know the hour or day when that gust of wind may enter our earthly room and blow out our candle. So today, reach out and touch someone and tell them you love them, BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE – TOO LATE. I LOVE YOU ALL!!! – Have a GREAT Monday and a wonderful week everyone.

  • “Be A Real Friend”

    “Praise the Lord Beloved, Happy Saturday to everyone of you.

    You know, real friendship is almost non-existent. There are some, but not many. Even in Jesus’ day friendship was at a minimum supply. So,we actually shouldn’t be alarmed, or surprised when a friend(s) or even family members the one(s) we thought were loyal to us, throws us under the bus, try to publicly humiliate us, or turn their backs when we need them the most.

    You know Beloved, a loyal friendship is created. They’re not instantly manufactured. A loyal friendship isn’t a merry-go-round. They’re like deep rooted Oak trees. Proverbs 18:24 says: There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother. According to John 15:12, Jesus gave us the value of a real friendship when He said, “Love one another as I have loved you.”

    Beloved, God has blessed you with grace and favor, so you have the power to choose who your friends are and not someone choosing you to be their friend. Jesus is our great example. While Jesus was here on earth He chose who would roll with Him. According to John 15:16 Jesus said, “You did not choose me, but I chose you…” and the ones Jesus chose didn’t live a perfect lifestyle. Beloved, no one is perfect!!! So, a loyal friend doesn’t have to have a perfect lifestyle to be your devoted friend. They’ll always be your loyal friend because that’s the desire God has place in their heart (mind and emotions) for you.

    So, this weekend Beloved, be a real friend, by accepting those that need you to be a loyal friend to them.

    Have a blessed weekend Everyone.
