“The struggle of all of our lives is simply keeping the Lord first place in our lives..Amen..keeping Him first place in our hearts..in our minds..in our living..in our choices..everything..see that’s where the struggle gets real for us all..Amen..for its not that we don’t love the Lord..because of course we do..Amen..but the fight and the struggle is simply that we live in a fallen world and everything is constantly bombarding us and our minds..and our thoughts..our vision..our choices..our decisions..there is always some sort of compromise that happens..always..we are being pulled between right and wrong..we are always in a battle between good and evil..Amen..and somehow we think we aren’t..but we are guys..Amen..for the bible says that we wrestle with the flesh..its not people per say..its the fleshly bodies that we live in ourselves..Ephesians 6:12-13…its giving in to our sins..its giving in to what we want..James 1:14-15..because we want our ways..we always have since we were little babies..Amen..we were kinda already speaking up in some form or fashion..Amen..I heard a pastor once say you don’t have to teach a child not to lie..because somehow it just comes naturally..Amen..but we do have to teach them not to lie..or to be mean..or to steal..to cheat..to manipulate..all of them types of things..Amen..but you see serving the Lord we do fall down..and daily we are to pick up our crosses and follow the Lord..Matthew 16:24..Amen!”

“For we are to pray continually..1 Thessalonians 5:16-18..we are to find our place with the Lord and draw from His well that never runs dry..John 4:14..Amen..because that is our fuel for the day..when we get in our spots with the Lord..and we give Him our day..and we give Him the sit of our hearts and our minds..and we place Him back on the top of it all..when we keep the Lord Jesus first place then we do pretty well to stay away from the sin that tries to take us out..when we care about what the Lord thinks..how He feels about what were saying and doing..Amen..than we make better choices in life..we live a better life..and we live a happier filled life..Amen..because the day ends and then you are there with you..Amen..and you are having to deal with the choices and the decisions that you made..Amen..so again stay close to the Father..stay close to His heart..and stay pleasing that audience of one..which is Jesus Christ our Lord..our best friend..our Helper..our Healer..our FREEDOM..Protector..for you see when God tells us no about things..its only because He loves us..and He wants only whats best for us..Amen..so keep Jesus in first place over your life..over your thoughts..and over your heart..Amen..living and shining the best life that you can..Amen..by choosing the Lord over and over and over and over and over and over..again and again and again and again..Amen..and daily so..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 ❤
