“For the most part when following the Lord..it is about commitment..Amen..it is about doing what the word of God tells us to do..Amen..it isn’t gonna be some easy breezy float around do whatever you want type of relationship..Amen..but it is a relationship as to where we are to be obedient..where we are to listen..and where we are to obey..Amen..it’s not only hearing the word but doing the word..James 1:19-27..Amen..because your see we can’t blame others for our mishaps..for our doing the things that we know in our heart of hearts we shouldn’t be doing..but it is taking responsibility for our own actions..because you see our relationship with Jesus is a one on one relationship..Amen..and it is a daily one at that..it makes no difference what we did yesterday..or even the day before..but it is what we do this day that matters..it is picking up our cross and following the Lord..and as I say..standing and building our lives on Him..for He is our firm and solid foundation..2 Timothy 2:19-21..Amen!”

“It is not going back to the things that the Lord has set you free from..Amen..and it is not compromising and looking at others and what their doing to justify what it is that you are doing..Amen..but it is running our race..Amen..and running is a pretty intense thing at times to do..depending on how far your running..but we are told that we are to run our race..lay aside every weight..and every sin that would so easily beset us..and we are to run with patience the race that the Lord has placed in front of us..Amen..looking always to Jesus who is the Author and the Finisher of our faith..Amen..Hebrews 12:1-2..for the Lord needs us to grow up in Him..not quit..or back away..or stop doing the things that we do..but to continue on the pathway..continue on living in the right way..and doing the right things..making a difference..all the while choosing to follow Him..Amen..so again..let us be committed to the Lord in our faithfulness to Him..listening to His voice..following His lead..staying within His gates..and moving and looking ahead and forward with every step and every act of obedience in faith..doing what we know we need to be doing..living the best life that we can possibly be living..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
