“So we go where we can grow..we go to those places where we are being celebrated in life other than tolerated..we learn to be by ourselves at times..and there make Jesus our best friend..Amen..for I am learning that we don’t have to be everything to everyone all the time..we don’t have to be involved in it all..we don’t have to say yes continually..but what we do have to do is grow in the Lord..be made whole in who we are..mind, spirit and body..Amen..so I will say that if any of us give the enemy an inch so to speak he will take a mile..Amen..and for us to be alert and aware at all times for the enemy roams about as of a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour..1 Peter 5:8..so put on the whole armor of God..Ephesians 6:11-24..and let us live to please Jesus..giving the Lord everything of who we are..and ask of the Lord to make us whole and complete fully in Him..Amen!”

“For as well know the scripture says that the enemy may come in like a flood but the Lord will lift up a standard against him..Isaiah 59:19..for you and I are God’s children and He wants us to be happy in our lives..He wants us to be whole..He wants us to be complete and content..and full to the overflow with joy..for God says He wants us to be new..and made new in Him..so today my heart and my prayer is that you and I are fully equipped and fully made new in Christ Jesus our Lord..Isaiah 43:18-19/Isaiah 65:17/Ephesians 2:15/Ephesians 4:24/Revelation 21:5…that we are well and that we are whole in Him..and completely so at that..and really only we ourselves can answer that question..Amen..so let us draw near to God..for when we draw near to Him, He draws near to us..James 4:8..and let us help ourselves yet once again by helping ourselves do what we know already to be doing..to be able to grow, to heal, to mend and move on and move forward in this beautiful thing that we all call life..for it is in His name, Jesus’ sweet 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
