“It’s something how the Lord always seems to grow you..Amen..I mean you can think well I am pretty good..Amen..and the next thing you know you are dealing with anger issues..or maybe impatience..maybe a little gossip..or even a little jealousy..who knows..but somehow in all of our lives..we can go for a bit and be well so to speak..or so we think we are..well..Amen..and the next thing you know there you are in this place of where in the world did that come from..Amen..you know that thought..that attitude..that fear..doubt..could even be those words that maybe just maybe we shouldn’t be saying..and in these moments..it’s like there in that place we have a choice as to whether or not deal with it..or sweep it under the rug..Amen..because you see God knows us..He knows the growth that still has to be done on the inside of us..God knows those secret places in all of our lives..the ones that we tuck away in the crevices of our hearts..that we don’t want to talk about..you know..because we are really good at hiding away things..placing that smile on our faces and moving on..and if asked by anyone we are always good..Amen..but today I guess the whole point of it all..is that God loves each of us way to much to ever leave us the way He found us..Amen..He wants us to be whole and complete in Him..and not just in our salvation..but in everything..Amen..so if the Lord is showing you areas that need to be dealt with..then by all means I pray we deal with these areas..it is painful and it can be hard these things that God shows us..but the end of it all is completely beautiful..so to be whole..we have to work on us..and our hearts..and who we are..we worry so much about others..and really we need to be worrying about ourselves..and our own walks with the Lord..because in the end that’s all that is really going to matter..that we were obedient to the Lord..that we grew in our walks with Him..because guys it’s awful hard to try and help another person in their walk if we ourselves are not whole..Amen..so take the time to pray about you and your life..ask the Lord to show you areas where you need growth..and believe me He will do just that..for sin and self..these fleshy bodies have to die out daily to this world and it’s ways..because if not it will overtake us and all of who we are for the Lord..the scripture says that if the goodman of the house would had known what hour the thief was going to break in he would had stayed awake and not suffered his home to be broken into..Matthew 24:43-47/Luke 12:39..Amen..because we don’t lose ourselves all at once..it’s little by little disregarding those nudges from Jesus..so if He is nudging..please by all means myself included let us pay attention..Amen..for everything we do matters and it does matter greatly..and all of the Lord’s correction is done from a place of love..and correction seems griveous but teh end it yields fruits of righteousness..Hebrews 12:11..Amen..so let us grow in our Father..in our walks..in our ways..in everything of who we are..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that 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
