We as the Lords children are constantly learning, growing, changing and maturing…were always learning how to be content in all things, were always learning how to love in spite of how others may be treating us or acting towards us, were always being tested and tried, always getting into that place in our walks were the Lord can thrust us into our futures that He alone has prepared for us…but as we all know that without the test there honestly isn’t any testimony..for I haven’t ever met a person in whom was used for the Lord and used mightily for the Lord that had not been through lots and lots in their lives…but see when we are placed in places we shouldn’t disregard them as being some place that is bad for us..but rather we should take that place and understand that it is an opportunity for us to grow closer to Jesus…for I love the saying that says this..don’t let others pull you into their storms but you pull others into your peace…same difference don’t let your circumstances pull you into them, but you pull your circumstances into your atmosphere…cause how many of ya know that we create our own atmospheres and we daily do this in our lives…we choose what it is that we alone are going to do…so my thoughts today are this…don’t let anything steal your joy, your peace, your love, your freedom…for this is the day that the Lord has made so let us all rejoice and be glad in it..Psalm 118:24…for the joy of the Lord is our strength..Nehemiah 8:10..so let him who stole steal no more from you and your life..Ephesians 4:28..but rather set choose to set your atmosphere to being a good Godly, anointed, loving, caring, forgiving, and supportive one…let your home so to speak both physically and spiritually always represent Jesus…Hallelujah..for the Lord says I have set before you death and life..Deuteronomy 30:15…so choose you this day whom it is that you will serve…but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord..Joshua 24:15..for once again guys..it’s easy to be that nice, kind, caring, loving person when all is going your way and all is well within the walls of your home, but them true colors really do come shining through when the heat is turned up and them problems and circumstances come knocking upon your doors..so let us grow, and let us get to being those mature Christians that Christ is so needing and desiring for us to be..and quit complaining and murmuring over every single little thing that happens and or takes place..but rather choose to live and do as the word of the Lord says for us to do, and rather choose to get our lessons, and rather choose to pass our tests…In Jesus’ name I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
