Praise Him, because His name is Holy.

Let the hearts of those who trust in the Lord be glad.

Look to the Lord and to his strength

Always look to Him.

******************

Just want to thank the Lord for his provisions and what he has said he would supply for me. I really thank God for his mercy and grace, especially for His unconditional love...for you and me...for our children...I thank Him for his protection, was praying for my 2 boys that were called out last night to do security work, I was kinda worried about them, But as soon as I realized that God, who promised would never leave us nor forsake us would be there for them. As I prayed that prayer of protection upon them, then rest assured, then I did get some sleep, and woke up early. And thanking my Lord for the day....

Prayer is communication with God. There are many kinds of prayer: supplications, requests, intercession, prophetic prayer, warfare prayer, so many kinds. Devotional prayer is a specific type of prayer. It is very relational and is simply being yourself in His presence. When I engage in devotional prayer, I like to find myself a comfortable and quiet place and then begin to focus on Jesus inviting the Holy Spirit to come and lead me. Praise Him until the spirit of worship comes, worship Him until the glory comes and then, stand in the glory. This is a good outline for devotional prayer. Simply begin to focus on His greatness, praising Him for all that He is and all that He has done. Before long, you will find yourself going into a deeper and more intimate level of worship. You will begin to adore Him so deeply, releasing your heart to Him, and then…the glory of His presence. Soak in His glory and allow Him to share His heart with you. Keep a journal handy and pray for the things He puts on your heart, recording your insights and prayers. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you to a scripture that you can meditate on and pray over your life…and then…drink of His bounty, His beauty, His loveliness.  aaaahhh, what sweet devotion...Such a sweet presence....Indulge in His presence....

                                                           

 HERE’S A PRAYER DIRECTIVE
1. Pray for a fresh and increased relationship with the Holy Spirit.
2. Pray for a heart of true adoration and worship to rise up within you.
3. Pray against all distractions in your life that rob you of your devotion to Him.
4. Pray for an increased revelation of Christ in your life.

 As you try this, you will begin to know a difference in your life....I suggest you try it....And have a ...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!,,,and GOD BLESS!!!

Haha!! caught on camera...thee shopper...lol!!

Got up early, thinking I was gonna take a couple more hrs for me to sleep, but, just can't do. Had to get up and start getting ready for the day. Thot about the Lord this morning, what he had done for us, what he came for, he had accomplished his Father's plan, which is to draw us to himself.  And that was his gracious plan. Oh praise God for his wonderous mercies that he has bestowed upon us. For without HIM we are nothing, but a lost soul that is wondering around in the desert, feeling the hopelessness. But by the grace of God we are so blessed as children of God. If we only to be obedient to his calling, Cuz today is still the day of salvation. Yes we celebrate this time of the season, we will again celebrate easter, which is another time of season o reflect on what happened so many years ago. But, the truth is Greater is HE that is in me, Jesus is lives in the temple of you. Which is your heart...  David the psalmist had a question and had answered to that question, " What shall I render to the Lord for all His mercies toward me? and he answered " I will take the cup of salvation".Certainly there is one vital need we can never meet on our own. We can't save our own souls. Even the great king of Israel could not do that. He proves his willingness to be a taker in this greatest of all acceptances, "I will take the cup of salvation."

As we individually take God's offer of salvation through Jesus Christ and HE becomes the Lord of our Lives, we can begin to give out to others the good news. It is possible to be both a gracious giver and a gracious taker.......God bless you once again!!

May you enjoy this blessed day!!!

LOVE IS BLIND

There was a blind girl who hated herself just
because she's blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend.
He's always there for her.
She said that if she could only see the world, she
would marry her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and
then she can see everything, including her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the
world, will you marry me?"
The girl was shocked when she saw that her
boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him.
Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote
a letter to her saying.
"Just take care of my eyes dear."


This is how human brain changes when the status
changed.
Only few remember what life was before, and who's
always been there even in the most painful situations.

!***!***!***!***!***!***!***!***!***!***!***!***!***!

Life Is A Gift
Today before you think of saying an unkind word -
Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food -
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife -
Think of someone who's crying out to God
for a companion.
Today before you complain about life - Think of
someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children - Think of
someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone
didn't clean or sweep -
Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive - Think
of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job -
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished
they had your job.
But before
you think of pointing the finger or
condemning another -
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we
all answer to one maker. Our GOD
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down -
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive
and still around.

Life is a gift, Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it and fulfill
it, And be thankful & Honor the Lord for it.
