“The wonderful thing about our Savior is even when we drift..and even when we may stray away for even a moment..and maybe at times not even realizing it..that even in those moments of our lives..that God our Father draws us back to His side..somehow He gives us just enough to do what we want..but in those moments of our lives..He still is there speaking to us..and drawing us to Him..and only HIm..for you see when we drift off key so to speak..or get side tracked..somehow truth and Gods word is what brings us back to where we need to be in the Lord..Amen..for we can get blinded and get confused at times in our lives..we can lose sight of where we should be and what we should be doing..Amen..because we are only human..and we are still in these fleshy, earthly bodies..Amen!”

“But when God writes your name down in the Lambs book of life..you belong to Him..sure we may go off path..for even a second..or for some maybe years they drift..but I tell ya once you’ve been branded by the Lord..and you have His stamp on your heart..you never forget the goodness of the Lord in your life..and you never forget what all He has done for you and all of the victories He has won for you in your life..at all the times His hands of protection has been there..at how many times He has shielded you and kept you in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation in which we live..Amen..so we do live in this life..but as well God draws us always back to Him..He keeps pursuing us and loving on us with all of His kindness and all of His goodness..even when we are so underserving of it..He still gives it..Amen..so I don’t know this morning your story and you don’t know mine..but one thing I do know is that we serve an amazing God..and His name is Jesus..Amen..and He loves us so much..more so than we can ever imagine He loves us..Amen!”

“For we are not perfect by no means..but to know Him and to know that even when we don’t know what in the world we are doing..that He still is working it out for us and our good..that He just doesn’t give up on us..He still pursues and speaks and guides and protects and gives us peace..and protection..Amen..so to know Him..is to know that He is all powerful..and all knowing..and that even in all of that..He still wants us..every fault..every failure..every mistake..He still keeps on after us..so for that this morning..I give my Father praise..and unconditional praise..just to know that when I don’t know that He does..Amen..and that He doesn’t just simply walk away from us..that He is our good Shepherd..and we are sheep..we do stray..but the word says to stay close to the Shepherd..John 10:11-18..for we need Him..and even when we go our own ways..He still leaves those ninety and nine to come and seek out that one..Matthew 18:12..oh what a friend we have in Jesus..there is none like Him..nor will there ever be..so this morning we rejoice knowing that we are the apple of the Lords eyes..Psalm 17:8..and that He watches over us..Praise His name, so we do the best we can..and we live for the Lord..and even if we may make a mistake we can rest knowing that He will not ever turn His back on us..He will draw us back to Him and His marvelous light..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
