“So yesterday on my way home from work..I was stuck in traffic and there was this man..maybe in his 30’s..but you could tell that he was troubled..and lonely..Amen..and I kept watching him walk around in this parking lot..and as he was I just began to be very saddened for him..I wanted to get out of the car and go and just give him a hug..Amen..but I began to pray for this man..and I begin to think about how so many of us..even myself at times how we get troubled and broken in our lives..and at how we lose sight of this and all that is happening around us right now in our world in which we live..but this guy just walks over to the curb and places his back towards the traffic and sits down there all by himself..and at that moment well I began to cry..it was just sad to me..Amen!”

“I don’t know what he may have been facing..but I do know that my prayer for him just as with us as God’s children is that he knows the Lord..Amen..from a distance I was sad for him..and who knows he could’ve just been having a bad day..I don’t know..but what I do know is that we need more love in this world..and we need more helping to take place..we need self to die..and all the selfishness to fall from our lives..I believe with all that is within me that’s why our Savior was able to be about the Fathers business..Luke 2:41-52..He wasn’t focused on himself..He wasn’t praying for himself..He was totally and fully submitted to God..no matter what way He was lead in His life..the Lord did it with dignity and with peace, kindness and love..regardless of what He went through..Amen..but somehow through a storm in our lives we begin to focus on self..and when we focus on self..than our minds are there other than on others and those around us..we miss what is there in front of us..Amen!”

“Whether it be someone whom is troubled..someone who is facing a hard trial..we miss the brokenness because our eyes and our minds are blurred by everything else but what it should be focused on..see God blesses us with gifts and talents to do His will for this life..for the Lord says greater works would we do..John 14:12..and we have the Lord living on the inside of us..and He speaks to us..He directs us..He leads us..He gives us wisdom..He gives us everything we need to accomplish His will for our lives..but if we miss it, we miss it..and we miss out on helping others and praying with others as we should be doing..we should be ready and willing always to see the need to see the hurt and than able to step in and give the encouragement..give the hug..give the word of the Lord..give them love..and more than anything be able to give them Jesus..Amen!”

“Because we need our eyes opened for so many are hurting and so many need the one and only comforter..John 14:26..the true blue peace maker..Matthew 5:9-11..the overtaking power of Christ for them and their lives..for only Jesus can make the difference..for we can have nothing at all in this ole world..but guys if we have Christ..we have everything that we need or ever will need..for Jesus makes all the difference..for He is the friend that sticks closer than a brother..Proverbs 18:24..and oh what a friend and Savior He alone is..so have your eyes open today..have your ears opened..and be willing to give away what you alone have been blessed with..and share and spread the gospel of Christ to a lost and dying world in whom needs a Savior..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
