“If you are one of the lucky ones to know the Lord..then by all means stay with the Lord..Amen..why take your life and gamble around with it?..why take your peace and throw it to the wayside..all for as some say a moment of pleasure?..Amen..because if you are in a good place with the Lord..and in your life..then by all means I say to you wholeheartedly to stay there in your place..stand firm on the solid rock of Christ Jesus our Lord..Ephesians 6:11-16..Amen..because whether you watch the news..or whether you as some say put your head down in the sand so to speak..either way we are in a mess in this world..Amen..I mean I don’t personally like to watch the news..but I do from time to time and especially when something catches my attention and or if I read something that catches me..Amen..but this morning was one of those mornings and I saw within a few minutes all of this stuff that had happened within the last day or so..and I will just name a few..so first off I see that this body was found in a car trunk of a car at an auction..that this 6 year old little boy was beat and killed by his parents who were drunk and they made him drink from a toilet bowl..I mean how horrific..as well there was this 4 year old little boy who gets up in the middle of the night and wanders to the streets and was killed in traffic..as well I saw where at this apartment complex which is right by my home..that someone or maybe multiple people vandalized 37 vehicles..slashed tires..busted out widows..and that is just for starters..Amen!”

“I could keep on but I really don’t want to..it saddens my heart and as well it opens my eyes to understand that we all need to stay focused and stay close to the Lord..because we need one another in this big ole life that we live..Amen..and who we are for the Lord is His hands and His feet..Amen..so what can we do?..I know we can’t stop evil because it is here..but we can shine the light of the Lord on the darkness..and we can help and reach out and encourage everyone..because again I know we all know but yes..do be kinder than necessary for everyone is fighting a battle in life..everyone has there thing that they are dealing with..and when we are back and forth and all over the place it doesn’t help us nor our life..but it just takes us to again this place where we should stay on that narrow pathway for the Lord..so again if you are a born again child of God don’t take that for granted..and don’t use Gods grace to sin..the bible says God forbid..Romans 6:15..Amen..so stay on the pathway..do what you know to be doing..bless others..speak the word of God over their lives..help the hurting..give the hug..the smile..Amen..just smiling is such a witness..Amen..and mean what you say when you say it..Amen..and look people in the eyes and let them know that we have a heavenly Father with eyes full of mercy and a heart full of love..Amen..and remind the hurting and the downcast that this ole world is not our homes..because let us not forget that we are just them pilgrims and strangers passing through this world..so keep your eyes on the Lord..Amen..give others HOPE..the hope of Christ that you have..for we need that in this life and we need that more so than anything..Amen..so be all you can be where you are..and again I will be all that I can be where I am..and together we all can make a difference..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 ❤
