“Have you ever noticed that when problems come and things happen to you in your life..that really it isn’t life giving us the problems and or the heartaches..most of the time it’s ourselves..with our choices and decisions it is that we make..it’s our own disobedience that brings on disappointments..2 Timothy 3:2..Amen..because somehow I think we care more about what others want from us more so than the Lord..and in doing so we make our lives and our choices based on making others happy..other than listening and following the instructions of the Lord for our life..we just disregard and we follow people..and what they want..and what they think..and so forth..until in them moments and in them choices we fall..and we fail the one true love of our life..which is Christ Jesus our Lord..Revelation 2:4..Amen!”

“And I’m not sure if for the most part we even realize we are doing this..until we end up in a pickle so to speak..and or as I say the things that were doing catch up with us..Amen..and then it’s at that time we sit down and look at our life and what were doing..and in that time we tell the Lord were sorry..and that we love Him..and we get up and we go on for a while maybe until again we choose for others..other than choosing for the Lord..Amen..and honestly can you imagine if we truly did please the Lord..with our life..with our hearts..that we cared more about what God knows of us more so than people?..Amen..because I can’t imagine actually walking there..I mean I try my best..but sometimes my best intentions fall way short from where they should be..Romans 7:15-20..Amen!”

“But I do think to myself..God if only I could keep you in the forefront of my mind..and walk in the spirit man Father..and stay in tune with you and your calling that you’ve placed on my life..and never take that for granted..Amen..keeping my robe all clean and white..Revelation 7:14..washed and steady always..walking and abounding hand in hand with Jesus..and what He wants..and what He thinks..Amen..wow, I couldn’t even quit comprehend what all I could do..what all I could see..what all I could hear..and accomplish..if I did stay there..and always stay there..in His presence..in His joy..in His way..in His will..Amen..so I wonder this morning how many of us are truly willing to please our Father in our lives?..not just a sometime pleasing..but an always pleasing..Amen..for I think that bountiful pleasures would come and overtake our lives..if we truly did this..if we truly pleased our Father..we would truly stay whole and well..not falling so often..not failing..so often..but more so rising..and standing..and declaring the goodness of God..shining so bright that it is evident that Christ is in our lives..and in our hearts..and that we are honoring Him with it..pleasing Him above all else..for let that be our declaration this day..Father we live and are living for you Dear Lord and you alone..always and forever..help us to be mindful..for it is in Your name, Dear Lord..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
