“Each of us have a version of ourselves to where we feel good about who we are..what were doing..how were living our lives..Amen..and when we within ourselves know that we are not living up to that best version of who we should be in our lives..then we will begin to lose peace..we will begin to lose joy..we will begin to back away and step away from people..from things we used to do..Amen..and this is the thing guys to be the best version of ourselves..well it takes determination on our parts..it takes us at times saying no to things..to doing them things that are leading us in the way that we should be in our lives..because we all have certain things that God desires from us to be doing..and we have to guard that..we have to guard our calling..our gifts..we have to be the best we can be with what God has given to us..1 Peter 3:15..Amen..and when your called to certain things in life..you don’t get to do just whatever..because you will end up like Jonah in the belly of a big ole fish..Jonah 1:17..and I am sure that was not at all a fun place to be at..that would be completely horrible..Amen!”

“But the thing about us being the best version of who we are is that we have to be obedient to Christ..Deuteronomy 27:10..we have to keep Him first about what He wants from us..Amen..we don’t just get to do whatever and whenever things that we wanna do..Amen..it is a walk that is with you and the Lord..and when you are not meeting that best version of you..then you know it..others won’t..but you know it..you feel it..you can tell in how you are living..and what you are and are not doing..Amen..you just feel sluggish..just dragging along..Amen..but when we guard..and protect the gift that God has given..then we thrive..we thrive with Christ..we thrive in who we are as a person..we live life well..when we know that we are doing is what we need to be doing..and we are pleasing the Lord with all of who we are..Amen..so again your call..your gift..you as a person is a personal thing with you and Jesus..so make sure you are hearing His voice..and you are listening to His voice..because everything we do matters and it does matter greatly..Amen..and there is a sacrifice for the gift that you have been given..so protect yours..and walk well with Christ..knowing at the end of the day you had a great day..being obedient..being faithful..being wise..and being the best version of you that you could be for Jesus our Lord and our Savior..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 ❤
