“So many always tell me, Mandi, you are so good with people..you just love everyone..and I tell them well, my family is this way..but as well when you serve Christ and others know this..than a lot of times they will tell you their story about their lives..and too much of my surprise..most of the time it is heart breaking the things that I hear..and it is truly unreal..because to look upon them..they look fine..Amen..they look great..their lives seem well..and you never would guess the things or the struggles that they’ve been through in their lives..or even what they are right now in this present moment facing and or going through..Amen!”

“So for me I understand that people know how to dress it up..they know how and are even taught as a child to say that their okay..or their alright..even though deep on the inside of their hearts they are broken..and they are deeply scarred from pains..from hurts..from all that others and life in general has given and has been given to them..and no do others deserve any of this kind of hurt?..or struggle?..or pain?…no absolutely not..no one does..Amen..but it happens..and it happens to us all..life..Amen..and no it is never fair..the things that we face or have to face..so for me..I look at others and think to myself..that we all are going through something in life..whether it’s a small thing or a big one..to each of us it is still a hurt or a problem that has to be dealt with or a problem or situation that will be there until we go home to glory..Amen!”

“So I try my best to understand that hurting people hurt people..and that everyone needs love..and everyone needs to be treated with kindness and respect..Amen..and I have learned not to take it personal if someone lashes out at me..because most of the time it is something that they’re dealing with in life..and when we are kind..and loving..and caring..and not partial..not judgmental..not hypocritical..not the one in whom has to always give an opinion..but just there in our moment with whomever we are around at that moment..and we give them Jesus in our actions..in our walk..in our talk..in it all..then we make a difference..and we help them to heal..in their hearts and in their minds..for you see everyone out there is someones..mom, dad, grandpa, grandma, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, son, daughter, grandchild..Amen..for we all are alike..we all are the same..and we all are made in the image of Christ..we all need the Lord..and we all need love..and loads of it..Amen!”

“So kindness comes from understanding..from caring..from looking with eyes of love..from speaking truth and life into everyones life..in loving all and not merely few..in knowing that everyone is fighting something in life..or dealing with something..and everyone is made in the image of Christ..Genesis 1:27..and that we are to be helpers one with another..we are to lift up and encourage one another..Amen..for I love the scripture in Isaiah that says this..”for the Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound..to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn..to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified..Isaiah 61:1-3..Amen..so my heart and my prayer for us all this very day is that we do as the Lord desires that we do..we live for Him and Him alone..giving this world and the ones that are here Jesus..Amen..for only Jesus is the one in whom makes all the difference in each of our lives..so spread the good news of the gospel..speak life..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
