Each day we awaken, we are given a choice to be positive or negative and situations that we encounter either make us stronger or wiser depending on how we handle ourselves and how we respond.  It's our choice and one thing that we must remember is our actions not only affect us but they affect others.  This is why God said be an example and to allow others to see the light in us.  Everything we do either pulls us away from God or brings us closer to Him.  This is a new day and it's wise to get Closer to God and not separate ourselves from the vine.  God said in John 15.5 I am the vine, you are the branches.  Whoever remains in Me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without Me you can do nothing.  In knowing that, which side are we on and what road are we following? Let's know what's good for us and have the courage and dignity to make wise decisions so that we can be better people for the entire Body of Christ.  Amen

In life, we never know what will happen in any given day and that's why it's very important more than ever to build a relationship with God and walk on His path.  There are crazy things happening today and we need God daily in our lives.  Let's talk to God today and ask Him to help us take one day at a time, give Him our burdens and give us the courage to be strong through all of this mess that we see today but remember God is still in control.

We only can do what we can do each day and we shouldn't worry about yesterday or tomorrow because today is enough to handle.  There's so much in front of us each day that we need to pay attention to and observe our surroundings.  God is always so good to us so let's never lose that faith and always remembers who's holding our hands and carrying us the way even through the most darkest times.  God's grace is a blessing so let's use our gifts to give hope to the world one day at a time. Thank You Father. Amen

Dear Lord,

As we walk the journey today, please help us to stay focused and keep our mind on You.  You are the answer to peace and You're the only one who can help us all to love more and to be the light of Jesus.  We are really in a spiritual warfare but Lord I know that You are still in control.  We can't allow anyone or  anything to get in the way of still serving You and please again help us all to put aside the negative things that we see and hear but allow the positive things into our hearts so that we can continue to serve You and to Love our neighbor.  In Jesus Name we pray. Amen and Amen

Through all of the trails and tribulations that are happening in life today, God is still in the midst of it all and we can't allow our hearts to get weak and I'll minds to get sidetracked. God still has a plan and when we practice our faith through the darkness, that's really when it counts the most.  Let's not allow anger or any malice to get in the way of our relationship with God and what He has called us to do.  Each situation will pass but it's all about how we react to situations and where our hearts are today.  Please read the poem that God allowed me to write and I want to share it with you:

Faith

Life is full of ups and downs
Sometimes there are smiles and sometimes there are frowns

It all depends on what we're going through
We just don't know what we will do

I want to tell you that each day is new
Don't waste your time worrying because God will get you through

Life is a mystery, don't try to figure it out
Just know that God is here, that's no doubt

When situations come your way and you don't know what to do
Talk to God and ask Him to guide  you

Have faith in Him and know that He's holding  you hand
He's always there because He has a plan

It doesn't matter what the situation may be
Put your worries in His Book and you will see

The burdens lifted and you may not understand
Because He works miracles, He is the man

He's forgiving, caring and loving to us all
He always answers when we call

We are His children and He looks after us too
He said, "Have faith in  Me, I will never, never leave you".

James 1:6
But he should ask in faith, not doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that s driven and tossed away by the wind.

The closer we get to God, the more happy we will be because we get peace from God and it's just so wonderful to live in peace.  We should really value our relationship with The Lord because He's the one who loves us, protects us and gives us the strength to keep standing.  God is so wonderful and I just want to thank Him for all that He does all the time and for giving us strength to handle trials and tribulations.  Thank You Again God and please continue to guide us to where you want us to be.  Amen

There's nothing more important in this world than to have a relationship with God.  Sometimes we get so busy in life but we should never forget what's really important.  We all have our ways but we all know what's really good for us in our hearts.  God pours His grace on us all the time and it's up to us to accept the grace or turn the other way. That's a choice that we all have to make every day and when we make that choice we can have joy in the day.  Let's evaluate the choices that we make so we can learn to have peace in our lives.  Amen

Guidance is very important to ask God for because we don't know His plan and it's not about us but about contributing to the mission.  Life could be tough at times but we have to trust God and always depend on Him.  Each day is a new beginning and when we live for ourselves and not live for God, we lose the focus and lose our path in life.  If we really want to serve the mission set by God, we have to trust and have faith in Him to know that He's working in our lives.  Let's continue to ask The Lord for guidance so that we can do what He wants us to do one day at a time. Amen 

 When we're positive examples to others, it allows us to feel good about ourselves and love our neighbor.  All of us are here to be examples for God.  We are called to do this and I know it's not easy sometimes to deal with people but that's okay too.  When we're doing what we're suppose to do and people don't want to be a part of your life, we have to still love but keep it moving.  We should never lose the love but still let your light shine.  When we're examples, it keeps us focused and closer to God.  God has a plan for  us all and in order to find our purpose we have to practice important virtues.  It's tough out here but we are still called to be examples.  John 15.8 By this is my Father Glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. Amen

There are things in this world that are very important.  (Love, forgiveness and humility).  This is what makes us happy, what keeps us connected to the vine and what allows us to serve the mission set by God.  We have to put God first by treating His children the way we would want to be treated with love and we have to stay humble in life.  Each day is a new life, a second chance and a new beginning.  When we're not focused on what's important, we lose the appreciation for God's grace.  God allows us to make our own choices and to do whatever we want to do.  If we don't learn to practice these important virtues, we will spend many days unhappy, waste a lot of time and put a pause on our lives.  Let's ask The Lord for strength and courage to change what needs to be changed, to stand firm through the battles by trusting God and to be an example like Jesus on this wonderful journey of life.  Amen
