“I know many in life that start out great with the Lord in their lives..Amen..and than as time goes on they get used to the Lord’s goodness in their lives..they get used to His presence in their lives..and all that He alone truly does for them..Amen..and in the midst of that..maybe they end up just going through the motions of their lives..going through the routine of it all..and in turn their hearts kind of get to moving out of the grateful side of things..and they just are doing what they are used to doing..Amen..but you know the thing about it all is that I pray none of us ever forget the benefits and all the blessings that God has given..and never forget what God has done for us in our lives..where He has brought us from to where He has set us free..delivered us..and comforted us..protected us..oh my goodness..when we think about the Lord and who He alone is..that should get us so excited..Amen..for if it had not been for the Lord where would we be?..Psalms 124:2..Amen..I couldn’t imagine where I would be at in my life..because I know who I am and I know who I was and used to be..Amen..before the Lord..so I honestly couldn’t tell you where I would be..maybe in the grave..because I did some foolish things in my life..Amen..but I do know that without Him..I wouldn’t be the person I am today..I still fall short..and I still mess up..and I still say things at times that I wish I could take back..and I am not always the best of a friend..so many things that I still do and catch myself doing in my life..that I need to be better with..Amen..but I do get corrected..and I do try..Amen..and that is the key to us all and our lives..is that we try..Amen!”

“Because God looks at the motive of our hearts..Amen..we can do many things..but its the heart that makes the difference..that we truly wanna do what we do..Amen..and that we do all that we do from a place of love..Amen..because just doing stuff is okay..you know..but when you place your heart in it..Amen..and you do it because you truly care and love..Amen..well, then there comes change from that..Amen..but this morning I was reading in the book of Psalms..and it says this..that God remembers us in our low estate..Amen..His mercy endures forever..Amen..He has redeemed us from our enemies..Amen..His mercy endures forever..Amen..He gives food to all flesh..Amen..His mercy endures forever..Amen..so give thanks to the God of heaven..for His mercy endures forever..Praise the Lord..Psalm 136:23-26..Amen..so don’t forget what God has done for you..don’t forget that we get fed and daily so..for it says He feeds all flesh..Amen..in other words in our sins in them moments as to where we think we can’t..God steps in..and feeds us..takes care of the fleshy part of us..Amen..so we walk away from sin..we walk away from doing things and saying things..because God gives us help in all of our sins..in all of our messes..in all of who we are..Amen..for you see the scripture says if we walk in the spirit we will not mind the things of the flesh..Galatians 5:16-26..Amen..so we don’t use Gods grace as a crutch just to live however..Romans 6:15..Amen..but really do get filled up daily..and really do be thankful and ever so grateful to the Lord for what all He has done and continually does daily in our lives..we don’t wanna just go through the motions..Amen..but we truly do wanna be humbled..and we truly do wanna love God with all that is within us..for without Him we can’t do much of anything..Oh, but with Him..my goodness guys..we can do all things..Praise His name..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 ❤
