Help me to be more like you'

Father, help me to see through your eyes, to hear with you ears, and my heart to feel the Love & Joy. I want to be a home for hurting people who have been changed by the power of your Word. Tear down all that may hinder me from Reaching out to those in need. Fill my life with the hope of Jesus' Glorious and Victorious return so that I may share it with Passion and others will know of your Grace. In the Name of Jesus I Pray Amen'

If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. 
Philippians 2:1-4 


If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care—then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. Philippians 1:1-4

Being Convicted’

The feeling of being deeply convicted is a continual blessing that fills your heart & soul in ways that are so UN-explainable. The battle is on an it’s up to us to be Christ like and be a change in others’ lives - try as we may to do it on our own only ends up us being put in trials of tough love meant to teach us Christ’s unconditional Love for all of his children. Rely on God’s Love & Strength to see you through, have Faith. Imagine how being unloved in society can feel - why is it that we give more to the deserving & less if not any to the undeserving as we somehow see it. - God has many of his lambs in places many of us would not ever think of. Yet in Gods Eyes we are all in the book of lambs’ receiving his Love equally. Don't down someone because of how they look or live as you have no idea that the one you’re downing very well could be Jesus. Get up, Get out, & get over yourself we are NOTW (not of this world) but we are in it for a reason.

Loving Hands'

We all start out as babies and need nurturing from a loving hand; and as we feel that comfort and love, we depend on that person for so much in our lives, we grow to the stage of making childish mistakes and then comes discipline but in that we find guidance and growth.

Then all of a sudden we're getting outside influence from hands that may or may not have that loving touch, like the ones when we were young. This is the time of choice; sometimes we find ourselves making the wrong choices, and feel there is no one there with those loving hands.

A still small and silent voice or a tingle in the stomach, and yes even an ache in the heart feeling begins to happen. But like usual we just accept it like it's a normal feeling or coincidence; most of the time we get frustrated and angry when there is a loving hand reaching out to comfort and love us. We've forgotten whose hand formed us and knew us before we even started in this life.

Those nurturing hands have always been with us and we need to reach out and touch them and feel the pain and tears that lived and died for us to have the unconditional love that was given to us with everlasting life. We feel that comfort and love that comes from our precious Savior and sometimes that feeling comes through a friend or loved one.

We need to soften our hearts and listen and be amazed at what is being said or felt. For it is with much love and joy that we were given life. Someday when we are in heaven I know we will look up to Jesus and truly see and feel this LOVE. So, until then, my prayer is that all that we do and all that we say is out of love for one another, not just in good times but in hard times for this is when we usually cry out and our souls are being filled with emotions that can make us or break us.

Jesus was oh so broken for us to have life and we have a choice to live our life with his loving hands guiding us out of love and concern for all.

Feeling Accepted and Loved

Feeling Accepted and Loved'


If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin awaits at your door. It desires to have you, but you must master it. ( Genesis 4:7 )

Accepted: a feeling consider and hold as true received willingly react favorably

Reach over and around all barriers to contact others with the Love of God and the Grace of Jesus ( John 20:21-23 )

Love: an intense feeling of deep affection a great interest and pleasure in something a person or thing that one loves like very much, showing love or great care

Most Christians would like to be more loving, our intentions are great, our follow through is lacking. The real issue is power, we're aware of our weakness ~ the temporal and human limits of our will, strength and courage to love others like Jesus loves us. But God promises us his power to do what he has called us to do. Find that power and turn it loose in your life.

If you Love someone, you must accept everything about them, even their faults or weaknesses just as we are Loved & Accepted by our Lord Jesus.

Why would we deprive the soul of divine grace?, people you love most simply need to know how precious they are to you. If you understand that God has accepted you with all your weaknesses and imperfections, we need to realize that we are imitating God, when we grant the gift of Love and Acceptance to others.

Everlasting Provider

Everlasting Provider

Our Lord is Everlasting, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. We are unable to comprehend the depths of his love and understanding. Do you sometimes have uncertainty in God? If so don’t be afraid to reveal it; tell him ~ let go and let all the peace of God flow in you. Then ask him for the faith to believe in him, and wait eagerly for his answer. Let go and let God, take over with his strength and love.

When you feel as though you’re drowning in life, look to Jesus for reviving. We are the branches of the one true vine.When your foundation is weak the under growth starts to break away, nourishment is what’s needed to survive. Search with in for the source of all that is good,and draw on the Holy Spirit to enlighten you.

Fall on your knees and call upon, Jehovah-Jireh “our provider”.

Wait upon the Lord and feel his strength, stand firm your on Holy Ground.

Clouds in Life

Clouds in Life

We shall have clouds of many varieties within our lives; the opening of ones eyes gets us through them. Beyond those clouds, we can find many colors of love and joy, held within our hearts. It is a way of learning and seeking out what is most important, beyond those clouds there is a rainbow, a promise from above. Yes’ beauty can be found within our moments of cloudiness.

Quiet times of peace, a moment to reflect on what is truly important, seeing gifts of kindness and the love were getting through the darkest of clouds, can bring faith and belief in the unseen or unknown. Its how we view those moments that mean so much, hard times become our strength, seeking answers from Our Lord. Giving of your undivided, attention to His Word in return helping us.

The giving of ones heart in times of trouble to another lifts the clouds from another and brightens there own. Being a vessel of comfort and love shines through. An act of stepping out of our clouds to help another brings many forms of emotions, which transform what we may feel. Even a cloud of darkness, into a glow of sunshine to light up those times of feeling alone, by what we may feel is a cloud of despair.

Clouds can confuse and distract from what is being said or seen, let go of the overcast of gloom you may feel, let the cloud of despair go. Break through them and feel the meaning of the moment. When feeling uncertain, confused, or unclear - look for Sunshine found within the clouds. It’s there for all to see, let go of the clouds of disappointment. Going through those trials and tribulations brings us closer to the brightest star.

For Jesus is Our Bright Morning Star. - Rev 22:16

Friendship within the Word

The Word of God, is not a responsibility, one has to obey. It is a privilege to spend time with God! A man or woman of God is separated from the world in their feelings, their actions, and in the way, they speak. You want to spend time with those that you love. We seem to always cherish friendships, and take time to listen and be there for others. So why is it so hard for us to spend time with God? The way to spend time with God, and in his closeness, is by spending time in His Word.

Also be still and silent and listen for the words unspoken within your heart and soul. God is our one true friend, even when we feel lost and alone, God is with us. Depend on his unconditional, unchangeable Love always. Be still and hear the voice of God.

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. - 2 Samuel 22:31

Friend, we need to hear the Word of God, appreciate the Word of God, and depend on his word. Prayer is the silent friendship, spoken from your heart, and gives a closeness of an everlasting bond, in these times the Word is spoken with in your soul.

Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
Psalm 54:2

We are to make known, all that is praiseworthy and the Joy and Love held within his words! Glorify and share the bond of friendship: that no one else can give. In your darkest times, the light of Jesus will be guiding you.

In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? - Psalm 56:4

Take a Step

Walk with Jesus

in the midst of life's burdens
stormy rains cast a shadows
rainbows promise’ clears the way

walk the distance covered in love
reach with arms held high
guided step by step

mountains seem high
paths seem darkened
valleys drop low

take each step
in the right direction
not walking alone

held in loving arms
follow in his steps
walk with Jesus.

Lesson for today

THIS IS VERY INTERESTING


There's one Christmas carol that has always baffled me. What in the world do leaping lords, French hens, swimming swans & especially the partridge who won't come out of the pear tree have to do with Christmas?

Today, I found out. From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each
element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember.

- The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.

-Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.

-Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.

-The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.

-The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.

-The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.

-Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.

-The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.

-Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.

-The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.

-The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.

-The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.


So there is your history for today. This knowledge was shared with me & I found it interesting & enlightening and now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol...Be Blessed My Friends ~ Much Love Denise

I Need You

I need to feel your touch, please cleanse me and restore me. I know I am not alone, you’re with me always. I believe in all, your splendor, you are my beginning and end for you are the ”Alpha and the Omega”. As a newborn needs to feel the touch of loving hands. This is our relation to our Heavenly Father “Abba”. The child like way of calling “Daddy” from our heart and soul to God. Describing a very personal, and loving relationship.

When you bow down before the Lord and admit your dependence on him,he will lift you up and give you honor.
James 4:10

Why do we think, we know all the answers, and feel ashamed to ask for help. We should be like little ones, honest and simple about life and who we are. We need to hear the children, for within them is much to learn. They rely on simple, basic facts; they are such an energizing, source of unconditional Love. They come before all others in importance; this is what Our Savior wants of all his children, young and old alike.

For an answer Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, "I'm telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you're not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God's kingdom. What's more, when you receive the childlike on my account, it's the same as receiving me.
Matthew 18:2-5

I am somebody, this I know: my Heavenly Father has plans for me, for his purpose. Yes, I believe in your Holy Word, your faithfulness and truth brings much joy. There is no Greater Love than the love of God, we’re priceless, in the eyes of Our Savior, Our Abba Father.

"The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26
