“To be fully used of the Lord and the ministry that He has placed on your life then most certainly you must be as real as real can be..you must never forget what the Lord and His tender mercies have done for you and your life..but more importantly you must not ever forget to tell your story..Amen..for you see when we are made new in Christ that old man of ours so to speak is gone..2 Corinthians 5:17..and that should be so..Amen..but a lot of times we fail to mention who we were..and what all the Lord has brought us through in our lives..so to others they may look and see a life of perfection..a life well rounded and put together so to speak..and so they may feel as if they don’t measure up..or that the Lord could never forgive them or ever even use them because of the things that they may or may not be doing in their lives at this present time..Amen..because we all have a story that needs to be told..and that needs to be shared..and our stories have made us into that person in whom we are for Christ Jesus our Lord..because someone out there needs to know mine and your story..just what all the Lord has done for us..Amen..so never be ashamed of who you were..and never be ashamed of what you’ve done..because guys the word of God says that not one is righteous..no not one..Romand 3:10..Amen..and our righteousness is of a filty rag the bible says..Isaiah 64:6..but we have been redeemed and forgiven of our sins..of our shortcomings that’s a fact..but to sit next to someone else and have them think that we have no problems..we have no worries..we have everything good in our life..and all is well..is not really the helping or helpful thing that we can do for someone else..because we all have faced issues in life..and we all face issues in life..for we need more than anything to always be willing to be open..to be honest..for when we let down them mask and somehow just take them off..we truly and honestly I beleive get used for the Lord and used in a mighty way..Amen..when we get to the end of self and who we are..then that’s when we are able to point others to Jesus..for who we are must die..and who Christ is must be lifted and exalted ever so high..Amen..for you see we all are made in the image of the Almighty..and we all are the same..and when we deny self and when we are unashamed..then we are the best us that we can ever be for the Lord our God..for no one and I mean absolutely no one likes a person in whom is not real or fake to say the least..because we are all just looking for true blue believers..Amen..others to say that hey if Jesus did this for me He will do it for you..Amen..so my heart tonight is this..don’t be ashamed of you and who you were..and never ever be ashamed to tell someone else your story..because just know someone needs to hear what only you have to share..Amen..so let us help one another along in this thing we all call life..let us come along side someone else and help them to run their race that Christ Jesus has placed before them..Hebrews 12:1..let us just be who we are..nothing more..nothing less..but just the person in whom the Lord has made for us to be..for I say all the time we all are differnet..and we all have been blessed with different gifts, talents and abilites..but if we just let others do what they have been called to do..and we just let ourselves do what we’ve been called to do..then somehow it all gets better and will be better..when we work together in God’s fields..then a boutinful and beautiful harvest surly will come forth and come forth in a mighty way..for when we sow good..we as well will reap good..so be you and always be you..and always speak and share your life and your testimony..for you see God’s grace is more than enough..and God’s grace is always sufficient..2 Corinthians 12:9..and not just for few..but for all..so be real..and be you..never, ever anything less..In His name, 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
