Life is always a challenge but in the challenge we learn, we grow and we're able to be an example or a witness to others.  We all are living on this journey  with good days and sometimes bad days but it's very important that we try to stay positive and have faith through all things.

We have been blessed to have an opportunity to live each day and for what God has done for us so far, we should be humbled and very appreciative of His Grace.  There are many who have died for us as well as sacrificed for us.  Let's say 'Thank You Lord" and lift up our hands with gratitude to our Heavenly Father and those who have paved the way for us to do what we do today.  Without God, we're nothing so let's praise Him and when the storms come, let go and Let God.

God loves us so much and He only wants the best for all of us. He gave us life, He gives us forgiveness, He gives us peace, He gives us grace, He gives us love and He teaches us how to have joy through all of the mess by taking our burdens when we're stressed and holding our hand each and every day. The only thing He asks of us is to love, allow our light to shine and to have faith.

He loves us so much that He sent His son down to show us the importance of walking with the cross to receive the victory.  He didn't have to do it but He did it.  He doesn't have to give us second chances but He does it, He didn't have to give us strength to make it through tough times that we had to deal with but He did it.  He didn't have to allow us to awaken this morning to another day but He did it. He didn't have to be there when everyone turned their backs on us but He did it.  He didn't have to hug us when we needed a hug, but He did it and He didn't have to cry or laugh with us but He did it.

All I'm saying is God is and always will be. He has done so much for us and is still allowing us to do what we do all the time.  We need to work toward being that example each and every day for others and for God.  Let's not get caught up in what the world is doing but stay focus on what God has planned for our lives.  Love one another, let's not look down on each other and continue to try to allow people to see Jesus in us.  

I'm going to share something with you and I hope and pray that you see the wisdom in this message.  When we see another person doing something that's not right or disrespectful, pray for them.  When we see another person not loving, pray for them.  When another person say something that's not right, pray for them.  When we see ourselves doing something that's not right, ask God for strength to change.  When we see ourselves judging others, ask God to help us to see our own faults.  When we think we know it all, ask God for humility.

All I'm saying is we all have faults but when we love our brothers and sisters and work everyday to be a good example, we all become better people.  When we can forgive, we become better people, when we go to our neighbor when we know we hurt them and say "I'm sorry" we become better people.  When we've been hurt but still love, we stay connected to the vine and become better people.

You see the world is not about us but about the Body of Christ.  Let's look deep within ourselves to utilize what God has given to all of us and that's love because the world needs love and when we do this, we're saving our own lives.  Remember we are the children of God and we are the world.

 Hello everyone,

I just want to take time out to thank God for giving us another day and always being there through the good and the bad.   Throughout our journey, we will encounter various trials and some situations may be tough to handle but this is why we have to always be ready for the unexpected and sometimes we're not ready but with the help of God and faith, we can still stand with His Grace.

Each day of our lives is a lesson to learn from things we had to deal with or witness in our day  It's wise to try and stay on track and that's all we can do is try because we all sin and we all make mistakes but the joy comes in when we can begin again and try another day to get it right.  God loves us very much so let's not get distracted or look down on ourselves but pray that God will guide us and prepare us for what's to come.  We have to have patience and ask God to prepare our minds and our hearts to be ready for anything that we have to encounter.

I'll tell you sometimes what God puts in front of us is not easy but God has a plan and He knows the future so let's always be ready to take on the uncomfortable situations or challenges as well as the good ones so that God can continue to work in our lives and we can be ready for His calls to change the world by giving love and hope one day at a time.

Thank You Jesus

Each day that we're given is another chance to get it right or do the right thing on our journey. 

It's very important that we try to do what's right and treat people the way we would want to be treated because we're here to build the Body Of Christ.  We need to do that for ourselves too because God said we need to work towards Holiness while on this  journey and I think that is what will get us to heaven.

God knows when we try and when we don't, He knows when we're not doing things right and He knows our hearts but over and over again He gives us second chances and another day to get it right.  We all have faults but we live and we learn. That's part of life.  It's when we know when we treat people bad or do something that's not right is the problem and is what can take us away from being Holy and lacking peace and joy.

When we humble ourselves and do what's right or love our neighbor is when we get closer to God and we see our lives progress, we're happy and we can witness the Love of God through us.  We can actually taste and see God's goodness.

Let's not lose out on God's wisdom to be Holy but try to do the right thing so we can gain peace within and help our brothers and sisters one day at a time,  Let's never forget:

When we awaken each day, it's because of God's Grace
When we're able to get through the day and see the night, it's His Grace
When we're able to get through the storms in the day, it's His Grace
I can go on and on and on

Think about it  and be thankful for God giving us another day.  Let's think before we act so that we can grow within and continue to live abundantly on our journey. GOD IS AWESOME!!!!

I just want to share something with you today.  I did something that was right and just and it was very difficult for me because of the situation,  What I do know is God was in the midst of it all.

It was a tough decision that I had to make and I prayed about it and ask God to give me an answer or guide me in the decision making.  I trusted that whatever decision that I made God was with me.  My decision was made out of love and respect but it feels like I got the end of the stick here.

Before making the decision, I went to the word to see what was written and tried to do the right thing for all.  I did that and now it's off my  conscience.  Never be afraid to do what's right.  Thanks for listening and please pray for me. 

Galatians 6:9
LET US NOT LOSE HEART IN DOING GOOD, FOR IN DUE TIME WE WILL REAP IF WE DO NOT GROW WEARY.

ISAIAH 56:1
THIS IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS: MAINTAIN JUSTICE AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT, FOR MY SALVATION IS CLOSE AT HAND AND MY RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL SOON BE REVEALED

Wisdom is very important to have on our journey because one day life could be good and the next it could appear to be bad.  We have to know which way to turn in our decision making, how to react to situations, how to deal with people and how to simply stand strong when life gets tough.  In other words have faith and gain guidance from God.

We spend a lot of time doing so much but we must keep our eyes and ears open for wisdom.  This journey that we're living is not about us but about The Body of Christ.  Our mission is to serve and while serving, trusting the Father by having joy and peace even through the tough times.

We all have problems, we all are dealing with things because God has a plan and is always working in our lives. We have to learn how to accept His Grace that He pours on us each day.  Most of the time, the answers that we're looking for are right in front of us.  Sometimes we just don't have the courage to do what God has placed on our hearts to do.

You see, this journey is a preparation for us to make it to heaven and Jesus came to show us what was going to happen in our lives as well as taught us wisdom.  

He came here so that we may live - He forgave our sins so no need to stress
He taught us how to gain peace and joy - By giving Him our burdens
He suffered and carried the cross - When we're in pain, let go and let God
He died on the cross - Walk with the cross when life is uncomfortable 
He claimed the victory - When the storm is over, praise Him. Amen

Let's stay focused and not get sidetracked.  Wisdom is understanding of God. He is the truth and the light and everything that we go through, He knows about so hold on to wisdom, keep it close to your heart and never let it go.  

Proverbs 2:2 - Turning Your Heart To Wisdom Inclines Your Heart to Understanding.

Let's allow God to fill us with wisdom by opening up our hearts to accept it all.

Hello everyone,

I feel like we all are looking for peace on our journey and we just want to be happy and at the same time serve and give hope to the world.

​Peace only comes from God and if we really want peace, we have to stay connected to the vine, nourish our souls and humble ourselves.  We all have trials and tribulations but we can still have peace through the storms.  Uncomfortable situations that we encounter are ways for us to grow in wisdom, understanding and love.  If we never have bad times in our lives, how are we ever going to know where we are within and what we need to do in order to be better people. 

When we're at peace, we're happy but we have to continue to see through Gods lenses not our own and put Him first. That means sacrificing and knowing how to carry ourselves through the good and the bad times.  In other words, keep trusting God, practicing our faith and standing firm even in difficult times. 

The world needs love and hope so let's continue to feed our souls with the word of God so that our light will shine for all to see Jesus in us.  It all starts with us and God sees it all and knows our hearts.  Let's work on ourselves because when we do that, we're showing God's love and helping the Body of Christ.  Also, for the unjust situations that we encounter, let's continue to stand up for what's right and continue to allow God to work through us for His purpose.  Let's do this one day at a time so that we can have peace and joy in all of our days.

Amen and Thank You Lord

In life, we have to learn how to accept God's grace because when negative things or trials come, we will know how to gain peace through it all.

God knows what's happening in our lives and He said He will never leave us so we need to hold on, not give up and not allow other people to control our destiny.

When bad things happen in our lives, especially when things are out of our control, we should take it as a blessing and know that God is watching over us.  When we live and treat people the way we want to be treated and uncomfortable things happen, it's really God working through us.  We just have to know where to go to gain strength. Thank You Lord.

Jesus already paid the price for us by dying on the cross and now it's time to accept the grace, hold on to it and live our lives with joy.  God is in the midst of it all and whatever we're going through, we have to give it to God and He will give us peace.

A lot of times when we're going through something, we try and talk about it either through our actions or another way  but sometimes, people don't listen or see what we're going through and this is why we have to be our own boss and refresh our relationship with God to know how to get through things.  In due time, the situation that has been hurting us, will fade away and we will be much stronger and wiser. Before we know it, we would be saying "I'M OVER IT NOW" and still walking with peace and joy to give hope to the world.

Dear Lord,

Thank You, Thank You and Thank You.  You have been so good to us even through the tough times.  You protect us, You guide us and You give us strength each day to handle tough situations.  Words just can't express our gratitude for You.

Your Grace is so Merciful and Your Love is totally unconditional.  You are a wonderful God and even through our faults, You still love and care for us. Lord we all need You each day, each hour, each moment and we know that without You we're nothing.  You are the vine and we are the branches.  Help us Lord to stay connected to You so that we can better serve and become more like You.  It's because of who you are that we know we're blessed by You.

Thank You Lord and we Love You. Amen and Amen

As we plan to build our relationship with God, we have to stay focus.  I say that because most of the time, we're trying to do too much, we're all into other people's business, we're not pinpointing our own issues that are stopping us from building a better relationship with God or we're just stressed.

We should try not to put too much on ourselves in the day but we should do what we can when we can and not get lazy.  We all are unique and different so we all know what we can do.  At the same time, people are going to be people, we all make mistakes and we have to allow others to make their own choices and let them figure it out.  That was hard for me because I have adult children and it was hard to let them figure it out but I learned that if I don't let go it will handicap them and not allow them to grow.  

We all have things that we're dealing with or issues but it's how we handle our situations that determine good results.  We have to identify our own issues to resolve because if we want our light to shine, that's just what we have to do one day at a time.  We all are sinners and we all are human. It's okay to make a  mistake but the value in that is to learn from it, begin again and move on. Let's not keep making the same mistake but find solutions to avoid consequences in our lives.

Lastly, sometimes we let our situations or other people's situations stress us out.  I know all about that but most of the time, we stress on things that are out of our control.  God said "give me your burdens and I will give you rest" so why stress?  It's normal to stress at times but let's refresh our relationship with God daily and gain strength when this happen so we can better serve, allow our light to shine and grow.  Life is too short and God gave us this wonderful GIFT and a second chance so let's live abundantly with  God grace, love and mercy. Finally, LET THE CHURCH SAY AMEN
