We have four children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Glory

Glory, “signifies God’s magnificence, worth, and the manifestation of His divine presence, encompassing honor, praise, and worship due to Him.” Definition of Glory when you Google it.

“The glory which You have given Me, I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one.” John 17:22  

Content

My child, be content today. Content in who I made you to be. Rest assured I have your future securely in the palm of my hands. You do not need to fear. Live today to the full. “This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

Kingdom Living

My child, I have gladly chosen to give you the Kingdom. This earthly life is temporary. Think eternal. Live Kingdom minded. Life here is but a breath compared to what I have in store for you. “Do not be afraid little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the Kingdom.” Luke 12:32

Rejoice and be glad

My child, this is the day that I have made, rejoice and be glad in it. I came so that you would have life, abundant life. I came that you would have My joy made full in yourself. Believe and receive My abundance today. Rejoice and be full of my joy. It’s yours. Receive it! Psalm 118:24 John 10:10 John 17:13

Paul: “Boasting? Well, if I Must”

Pride is instinctive to human nature. So, boasting, no matter how we may attempt to disguise it, flows from our core as effortlessly as breathing. We simply need to express who we are and what we’ve accomplished—“wise, strong or rich,” as the Lord explains in Jeremiah 9:23,24. Still, there seems to be a place for boasting. God goes on to say: “let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord.

The key here is to redirect the glory away from ourselves and on to God. Paul makes it all very clear in 2 Corinthians 11 &12, “If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness.”  “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness,” the Lord Jesus proclaims.

You’ve been Invited

What if you were invited to a party of a lifetime, so lavish, so impressive, that everyone who knew you would be green with envy? Why him? What did he do to deserve such an honor. Maybe you have been asked but just don’t know it! The truth is, a priceless invitation has delivered by God Himself, not just to you but everyone on earth. Invited to what? To an eternity united with God for an indescribable life you never dreamed possible: the party of all parties!

Yes, whether you are aware of it or not, you’ve been invited. The question is, “Who’s listening?” Are you among those who genuinely seek the truth? And if so, are you asking the right questions? Just what is required of me to be included with those who will enjoy eternity in heaven? Jesus said it best in the Bible: “Many are called, but few are chosen.”

Be Filled

My child, as you love and serve your spouse, you are loving and serving Me. As you treat others it is a direct reflection of how you are treating Me. Be emptied of self and filled with the Holy Spirit. It’s the only way you can accomplish this. 

Quiet Your Mind

Quiet your mind. Be still and know that I am God. Do not be anxious or fearful about the future. I’ve got you in the palm of My hand. Rest in My love for you and stand firm in your faith. 

 

You have your gifts

My child, you can appreciate and enjoy other people’s gifts but realize you have your gifts. Don’t try to be someone you’re not. Be the best of who I made you to be. You are unique and one of a kind. Let Me shine through you today.
