“This morning at church the message was that message that gets you thinking..Amen..and not just thinking but really thinking..it was one of those messages as to where everyone stops long enough to truly examine themselves..Amen..because we all think..let me say that again..we all think that we are okay..Amen..that it’s everyone else..Amen..surely it’s not us..we don’t have the problem..they have the problem..Amen..if only they could get it together then I wouldn’t be this way..Amen..how many of ya know what I am speaking of today?..Amen..because we tend to blame everyone else..for the way we act..the way we respond..the way we live..the way we present ourselves..everything..Amen..and most of the time it is the ones that are the closet to us that we blame..for us..Amen..for being the way we are..because they do this or that..and on and on we go..so in turn we overlook ourselves..Amen..we overlook our actions..and the way we are doing..because we are to busy pointing a finger..Amen..other than looking at ourselves..and who we are..Amen..and in turn we just go about our business..making ourselves in this mess of a person all for the fact of what we are dealing with..or going through..doesn’t any one understand this?..thats what we think anyhow..so again excuses..and blame and everything in between happens..all the while never looking at ourselves in the mirror..Amen!”

“So it leads me up to this mornings message..and as I say it was one that makes you look at yourself..and examine yourself..you and Lord..truly laying it out there before the Lord..and being real and being honest..Amen..so the message was this and it is found in the book of James..Amen..and it is speaking of our mouths..Amen..about that tiny little tongue in our mouths that seems to boast great things..Amen..and how great it does boast..James 3:1-12..Amen..but the thing about it was this..the pastor says..ask yourself this question what is my words revealing about my heart?..Amen..because this is the thing..out of the abundance of our hearts our mouths speak..Luke 6:45..Amen..and as well he says if you wanna see what direction your life is going in..he says this..so goes your words..so goes your lives..Amen..in other words whatever you are speaking..whatever you are saying is the direction your life is going in..Amen..and that is the truth..because death and life they are in the power of our tongue..and it says that they that love it will eat it’s fruit..Proverbs 18:21..Amen..and it’s not just being quiet..I am not saying that..not at all..because being quiet about whats in your heart is not healing your heart..its just pushing it down..for either way you still are thinking it even if your not speaking it..Amen..and either way God knows..so how we get healing is taking these things before the Lord..Amen!”

“And as well we have to stop blaming everyone else for our own actions..Amen..because again this life that we are living here in this world is a one on one thing..and I say that because it’s between you and the Lord..Amen..and we say so much stuff that it is truly unreal..the things we speak..and our words they are powerful..the can make or break a person in a split second..Amen..and we all know this..because we all have been hurt by words that have been spoken over us and our lives..Amen..and in turn even us we have said things that we wished a thousand times over that we could take back but we can’t..Amen..but we can help ourselves daily by praying about our hearts..asking the Lord to heal our brokenness..Amen..for I always say you wanna know what’s in someones heart..or what their going through..all you have to do is listen to them..and you will know immediately..Amen..but today how about we all just help ourselves be better..be better in how we respond..how we act..how we are speaking..for so many are just angry..their bitter..their cold..they have nothing nice to say..they are just hurt..and how do you know..well, because hurting people they do hurt people..Amen..but I would love for us all to really care about our hearts..Amen..our mouths..Amen..our tongues..Amen..because it matters..and it does matter greatly..Amen..so let us listen to what we are saying..and let us listen to the quiet things that only we ourselves hear..and of course the Lord..Amen..and then let us go from there..doing better..praying about it..and asking the Lord to forgive us..and to heal us and to make us better for Him and His glory..being His hands and His feet..shining and sharing His gospel..making a difference in our lives and in the lives of them ones in whom are around us..Amen..for we have been called..and we all have been equipped for a work..from our Father..and only we can do this work..and do it well..when we get our hearts moving in the right direction..when we are better within ourselves..we can be better for Him and for others..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 ❤
