“Isn’t it wonderful that the Lord isn’t a respecter of persons..Acts 10:34..that He uses us all..He uses the ones that do mess up..the ones that fall down..the ones that backslide..the ones that have a history..you know what I mean?..the ones that aren’t afraid to say what they’ve been through..the ones that doesn’t pretend that they’re there so too speak..that they have made it..Amen..for again the Lord uses us all in every way of our lives..He uses us in the midst of our mess..in the midst of our own heartaches and misery..in the midst of growing up in Him..in the midst of failing a thousand times, sometimes, that’s what it may seem like..you know it’s like a daily cleaning your house that you live in..that’s pretty much how it is serving Christ..Amen..daily we clean up ourselves..we get back up and go again..we get up and renew our minds and move forward..Romans 12:2..we do the best we can with our lives..Amen!”

“Because we understand that without the Lord we can’t do much of anything..John 15:5..and that without Him our lives would be a mess..more so than there..Amen..but sometimes they still get pretty messy..it’s not ever gonna stop..we will battle something always..it’s there all around us..this life..the situations..everything..is there..but we know that perfection is something none of us have..Amen..for I read a quote the other day and it said if you could read others minds even yours included..others would lock us up somewhere..Amen..because whether we show who we are to others..or whether we live our lives bound by others opinions either way..the Lord knows us..He knows our minds..He knows the bible says our thoughts from afar off..Psalm 139:2..He knows all of this and still calls us..and He still uses us for Him and His glory..isn’t that amazing..to me it is incredible..Amen!”

“But you know what’s more incredible is that fact that we have the Lord fighting for us..protecting us..using us..keeping us..loving on us..Praise the Lord..for He is such a good Father..and how wonderful He is..for He never turns us away..He never overlooks us..He never hurts our feelings..or our pride..He never makes us feel worthless..He never makes us feel not good enough..He never puts us down..He never corrects from a place of anger with us..He is so loving and kind that it is completely unreal to me..even with our mess as I say God uses us..for He isn’t looking guys for perfect or perfection..but what He is looking for is a heart of surrender and a heart loves Him..Amen..so know that God holds us and loves us and as a plan for us..Jeremiah 29:11..even in our imperfections He uses us..so let us do the best we can with our lives..for even in the mess sometimes just know that God still has us..and daily so..He uses the worst of us to bring out His best in others..Amen..so keep shining..keep living your life for that audience of one..and live well with the Lord..for what a Savior He is..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
