“I think so many of us say a lot of things in our lives without even really coming to a place to hearing and understanding exactly what it is that we’re saying..Amen..for the most part we will go around saying..Well, if you’re not in a battle well than something is wrong in your life..and I’ve been thinking about this concept and I’m thinking to myself Lord why in the world do we say this so often?..why do we give people this misconception that life is hard..and that You, Father, place us in this continual battle?..Because, Lord, You are a very good God..and You, Lord, alone are incredible..and Father, You, came to give us a life and a life of abundance..John 10:10..Amen..so why do we as Your children feel this way?..for if we always say such things without even thinking about what it is that we’re saying, then, others will not want to come to serve the Lord..because they’ll be fearful..and not in a good and healthy way but in a scared and unhealthy aspect..Amen..so again this very day I do know that life is ours for the taking..and it is all of our choices and decisions in this life as to how we will live it..because yes we live in a fallen world..but as well the Lord saves and rescues us..so do not fear..especially fear the Lord in a way that would leave you feeling afraid..for with the Lord we are safe..and we are sound in and through Him..for He is our everything that we will ever need..Amen

“So our fruit in life is going to ripen and we should be growing..Amen..in every part of who we are to be more like the Lord..Galatians 5:22-23..but most of the time when our hardships come as they will..we sometimes ourselves place these things in our lives..we sometimes are the ones in whom choose disobedience..we sometimes are the ones in whom choose to do what we want to do..and that’s not because the Lord is placing on us this continual test of life..Amen..But we are able to shine His light in this world in which we live..2 Corinthians 4:6..when the trials and test come..Amen..to be able to love above all else..Matthew 22:37/Mark 12:30-31/Luke 10:27..so let us watch what we say to others and especially babes in Christ..not to just sit and always say to others that if they’re not in a battle then something is wrong..Amen..for we should not say such things..Amen..so my heart is that we are drawing others to the Lord..other than away from Him..because I want more than anything for everyone to run to the Lord, to know Him, to know that He is their safe place..Amen..that He is their hiding place..their refugee..Psalm 32:7..Amen..so let us shine light upon the darkness..let us speak life into our lives..and into the lives of others..Amen..and speak of the Lord’s goodness always telling of His good deeds..Amen..for it is in the Lord’s 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 ❤
