Hear the Whisper

In a day’s time your mind hears so much, are you hearing one voice above all voices? Or is the busyness of your day, blocking the most important voice of all? The one talking to your heart!

Pray for discernment so that you will learn to recognize his voice. He is speaking to you and can be, heard in many ways. Thoughts, feelings, music, signs ~ nature, reading, prayer and verbal communication from others. Do you hear God's voice among them? Then follow him with all your heart!

My sheep recognize my voice; I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27

Spiritual growth is a lost priority. It is viewed by many as unnecessary, we must not wait in the darkness any more. We are the source of light to many, in this darkened world. 

God is at the center and in control of our lives. The foundation of life begins with God, so ask yourself where is your focus? Listen for that whisper and hear the word of God, speaking to you. 

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.

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
