“So I had heard this message that if were standing there in our life..proclaiming who we are and what we do..trying to make a point and directing the attention on who we are and all of what we do..Amen..and in the midst of all this trying to explain who we are and what we do..we begin losing just a little bit of our dignity..all the while we may even begin to raise our voices just a little..losing our patience..our peace..letting emotions grab us..and in all of that letting our joy run way down low and ever so quickly if I might add..but the point of it all was that if we are doing this..then we are not letting God have His way in our lives..or are we pointing others to the Lord trying to reconcile us and our lives..because we are pointing them and directing them to who we are..Amen..other than pointing them to the Lord and the cross of Calvary..where the Lord receives all the glory..Amen!”

“Because this is my mindset I always think about the Lord standing there before Pilate..and they brought Jesus before him bringing all of these accusations against Him..and Jesus stood there..Matthew 27:11-12..He never made or try to make His point to them..He just took it..Amen..because He already knew what His assignment was..Amen..so He took it..He didn’t open His mouth..in which case He sure could’ve done just that..Amen..but rather He says that He is about the Fathers business..Luke 2:49..Amen..the same for us and each of us as children of the Lord..God our Father guides our footsteps..Psalm 37:23/Proverbs 16:9..and whatever we’re doing..wherever we are..we are there for a reason..if not but for a season..but either way..we are to be there being about our Fathers business..not being about proving who we are or what we can do..it’s simply praying and trusting Jesus with it all..and knowing that whatever is meant for you and your life..God will place that in your life..Amen!”

“The thing for us all to remember is that we are to be about the Lords business..not ours..Amen..and we are to point others to Jesus in our lives..not point them to us and who we are..because you see guys our righteousness is as of filthy rags..Isaiah 64:6..it’s only the Lord in us that we are able to do anything that we do..Amen..because every good and perfect gift in our lives comes down from our Father in whom is in heaven..James 1:17..I read this post before and it says to take the low rode of life other than always taking the high rode then that is ministry..Amen..that is when life and who the Lord is to you and your life shines more so than ever..Amen..because then Christ is receiving the glory of who He is and what He means to you..Amen..for believe me guys people watch and they watch it all..especially when you say you love God and you are serving Him..so when life happens as it does..my heart for us all is too make sure that Christ is getting the glory for it all..whatever conversation..whatever place your feet are..wherever you may go..just point others with your attitude..your actions..to the Lord and all of who He is..Amen..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
